Both are based on true stories. Tells us the story of a person going through an illness and will inspire us to live our lives to the fullest and achieve our dreams.

sad, diseases, love and death. ;(

girls in both dramas suffer a terminal illness and it goes through their struggle, both main actresses are very similar.

TOH is the Chinese Version of 1 LOT.

Both leads suffer from a debilitating disease that eventually causes paralysis. In Angels Fall Sometimes, the lead is male and is diagnosed with ALS. In 1 Litre no Namida, the lead is female and has spinocerebellar degeneration. Both however, try their best to remain optimistic despite their prognosis and knowing their lives will not be what they had anticipated.

Both very touching slice of life dramas about a terminal illness. Also very nice display how the families react.

Both families have daughters with incurable diseases, and are there to support them hoping for the day a cure will come.

Shogo is left blind and mute from an accident but he is able to live a fruitful life as a composer. He receives ongoing therapy from the hospital where nurse Kana works. Just when their relationship is about to blossom into romance, tragedy strikes when Shogo is killed in a car accident. At the moment of Shogo's death, a shooting star falls and gives him the chance to live again for four more days. But he is unrecognizable to his friend and forbidden to reveal his true identity. Shogo decides to express his feelings of affection to Kana.

They are both amazing stories about the lead not giving in to their illness.
1 Litre is a true story while A Millionaire's First love is not.
They are both uplifting, tear jerking and great movies to watch.
The only difference is that A Millionaire's first love has romance, while 1 Litre only hints at romance (but not the main theme).

A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

Gosh my tears seems keep flowing when I watched this drama. Really a sad touching love story & how FL fight her disease with ML support beside her & people who love FL. Fujiki Naohito potrayed as a doctor here soooo charming. I like this drama a lot & really a must watch worth watching drama. Based in a true story.

Both have in common the strength to overcome, to overcome every obstacle even knowing that their earth days are numbered, are films that teach us to live in a better way.
