It took me some time to start watching this drama, as I have already seen 1 Litre of Tears, and I didn't want a similar story. The main reason why I actually picked it up is because of Miura Haruma. I'm glad to say that the story was unlike 1 Litre of Tears - the two stories did have several similarities, but were nonetheless completely different.
You would think, based on the plot summary, that this would be a story about an illness, death and grief, but it's quite on the contrary. This is actually a story about life, happiness, love and the troubles that life throws at us.
I adored all the characters, especially Rikuto. While I hated him at first, I loved how he, and averybody else, evolved and changed.
I felt as if these characters were written specifically for these actors and actresses. They did a brilliant job in this drama, everything felt so natural.
I also loved how everyone was so supportive, his family, friends, colleagues and even passers-by - nobody was mean, judgmental...
My favourite song from this drama is Yorokobi no Uta - Yuzu.
The reason why I gave this such a low rewatch value rating is because I feel like this is something you watch once, and it stays with you forever.
