Nah seriously what's wrong with Japan and terminal illness trope????!! 60% of their shows or moves has some kinda…
But these films are different from each other in some ways. It's Japan's favorite trope. Just like Korea's favorite rich-poor tandem. Past life, reincarnation, and each other's first love trope.
someone tell me if its like other japanese terminal illness romance movie? or there are any differences or anything…
Well... it was my first time watching a jmovie where both leads have illness. Also, they used the symbol of flowers to confess their feelings. It's beautiful.
If you're game for a series, you could try Fight Song. I really like the female best friend here. I have only a few list of films with 2 female leads.
Rebooting (Brush Up Life) is really great too but it's not romance. It's a women friendship drama.
In Fight Song, the FL has female and male best friend.
2. Our Secret Diary
The other female lead is also the best friend.
I keep coming here reading comments because I still can't move on with the pain. Life is so unfair to both of them.
But still, I love it even without the kiss.
1. The Makanai
2. Rebooting
3. Trillion Game
4. Anti Hero
But there are older jdramas that are also great.
