1 Liter Of Tears

Spent my whole Sunday watching �シ代Μ繝�繝医Ν縺ョ豸� (Ichi Ritoru No Namida/1 Liter Of Tears). True to the title, I managed to emit out loads of tears watching every episode of the drama. Managed to drag my mak as my companion though she just made a crack on every funny translation that they got in the boxset. Who wouldn't laugh at '1 liter punya airmata' translation for the title?

Though anyway it was about a girl who got Spinocerebellar disease. Sounds fancy but basically it's a disease where the patient lost complete ability to control their body. It goes by stages that is. Anyway, 1 liter of tears was based on the life journal of Kitou Aya who passed away because of the particular disease. She was active in sports and one of the brightest student in her school. Her world came tumbling down when she discovered she sometimes couldn't control her movement, fell down without any reason and sometimes seeing things in double. Her soon to be boyfriend ditched her because of the sickness and as time goes by her whole classmates was calling her a nuisance because their studies was affected by her. She couldn't manage to write as fast as she could before and the teachers had to slow down their teaching because of that.

Aya lost her ability one by one. The story ciculated on how she lived her life before she passed away. The tearjerking scene came when even that she became an object of ridicule among her peers, she still managed to smile.

P.S: I don't have a life, hehehe. Only work and watching dramas 24/7. Bear with me ;)
