Sawajiri Erika is quite convincing as Ikeuchi Aya, the character upon which the entire drama rests upon. Nishikido Ryo also does a terrific job as Asou Haruto, Aya's semi-love interest in the drama. The chemistry and the progress between these two is very beautiful and realistic. Every character in this drama is wonderfully portrayed and goes through development.
Another thing to say, the music in this drama is amazing and touching. Every song fits the scenes and tone of the drama to perfection.
Highly recommended for everyone who wants to watch a meaningful and touching drama.

Nishikido and Sajiwara were really convincing on their parts I think they were perfectly cast. Also Fujiki was a very good choice as the doctor specialist.
And Remioromen with their music on the OST was a really good combination with the key pints of the drama, I have their song Konayuki on my playlist until now.
This dramas is based on the real story, so that's why is so moving and well made. The romance part of the drama just made it better. Even though that part was fictional, it was greatly adapted and fitted perfectly with the story.
Highly recommend this drama, in fact I've watched 2 times already and will watched it again anytime. Be prepared because you will certainly shed 1 liter of tears (or in my case maybe more),but don't worry this is not a depressing drama, this drama is a drama full of hope and encouragement.

this drama was based off a true story, which makes it sadder when you realize it, and considering they only made 11 episodes, they fit quite a lot and still made it an excellent drama.
the cast was p e r f e c t i o n ! Erika played Aya amazingly while Nishikido Ryo played his supporting role well. (his crying scenes made me BAWL) the family was also great and same with the others that had small roles. the music was also just perfect. the songs put you into a certain mood, it's hard for me to even explain but it makes the drama that more emotional.
i would recommend anyone to watch this. it's very sad but also extremely inspiring. and if you can, read the real diary from Aya (;

I had my doubts about this one.
The series has been sitting on my list for awhile and I’m glad that I finally got round to watching it as this was easily one of the more well- deserving contenders for the tearjerker category ever.
The acting was phenomenal and I really felt as though the character were oozing out their sorrow through the screen. ( Especially the female lead.)
I’ll be honest on one thing. The camera angles and filming maybe hasn’t aged too well but the overall themes are definitely timeless. A definite watch.

PD. You do need a lot of tissues.
PD2. Wish I hadn't watched it, maybe then I wouldn't have became a physician.

at the end of this, I had literally cried a liter of tears..
its such a moving and beautiful story, and it makes it even more powerful to know that its based on a real life story.!
one day I would love to watch this again, but I remember being half depressed a week after finishing this drama, that's how much of an impact this story left on me.
this is a must see for every one. it will leave you with the ability to feel a great deal of empathy.
