    The next tragic story with Sawajiri Erika as the main character. The japanese are masters in inventing new, rare diseases... Though there are differently, I like it. Perhaps, I fan of drama and tragedy.

    Amane Kaoru has varied life thnaks to friends. It's a pity, that she hasn't a chance in final scene and she can't make the wish...

    'Stay with me' and Taiyou no uta' are beautiful songs. I like singing them when I have a worse day.

  • They both star Erika Sawajiri and are about a girl with a life-changing disease.
    reportRecommended by Chevya
  • Both dramas deal with the female lead having to deal with their respective diseases which may or may not result in their death in the end and having to deal with the love that develops during their time of illness at the same time. Also both are tearjerkers and if you easily cry at heart-wrenching scenes in movies, then I would also recommend that you have a Kleenex box hand just in case.

    This story was interesting for awhile. Ep.2 is not needed at all IMO.
    I didn't care for either koji's or Kaoru's friends. They just annoyed me
    Loved Emily. though
    I was enjoying the romance while it lasted, after awhile it seemed like they were just together but not really into eachother. Kissing scenes could have been better
    Loved the ending..
