One Litre Of Tears Review



I finished One Litre of Tears last friday night and oh my goodness! I haven't cried like that since birth! Feels so good after all... I mean, NO! After crying and sobbing, my head really hurt that much and my eyes were really swollen and I can't sleep at all! I finished watching it at 11:30 pm and I'm kinda scared because I'm all alone, in front of my computer crying and sneezing. TIP: If you're planning to watch this wonderful drama, prepare a lot of tissue beside you because based on my experience, you wouldn't want to know where I sneezed and what I used to mop my tears.

So much for exaggeration.

At first, when I learned about this drama series, I was really not that interested in watching it. But then, when I gave it a try and cried that much in episode ONE (part ONE), I just said to myself, "I haven't cried this year!" (Since, yearly, I cry over small things, right now it's different.)

And then, I can't stop watching, crying and, loving its story and characters.

Things that made me fall in love with it and made it very effective to me are:
  1. it's a TRUE story.
  2. the CAST. (they are really good actors most especially the one who played Aya Ikeuchi (Erika Sawajiri))
  3. MOTHER's love. (very evident)
  4. the FAMILY. (how they value and love one another and everytime they take a family picture.)
  5. DREAMS and HOPES. (how Aya lost all of her dreams because of her illness. so hurtful)
  6. FRIENDSHIP. (how her friends sacrificed just for her.)
  7. falling in LOVE. (I also fell in love with Haruto!)
  8. the background SONGS. (they are all sad and really sets the mood)
  9. the slide show of PICTURES of the real Aya at the end.
  10. the TITLE itself.
There are a lot of lessons in this drama and you will really reflect after watching this. It's worth watching and I can say it is the BEST.

Watch it now at crunchyroll!

My rating: 10/10
