I think everyone should watch this drama regardless rather you hate sad stories or not. 1 Litre of Tears really touched my heart. It made me viewed life in a different way. It made me want to live on.

1 Litre of Tears [Rating: 10/10]
This jdorama is so very special to me. I haven't cried like this since I was about 7 years old. It's one of those rare and precious stories, which is both joyful and painful to sit through at the same time. It's a story, which makes me feel lucky to be here... and well.

I think this drama is the saddest thing I have ever watched. I've never cried so much while watching anything.

Looking at life with a different perspective [Rating: 10/10]
you get to see life with aya's eyes. this drama is amazing. it makes you want to live life to the fullest and help those around you. you'll be surprised just to watch how aya puts everyone else before herself and humbly wishes to help anybody, especially people like herself when she's really the one that others should help.

the family's reactions are touching. her parents, sisters, and brother are extremely loving and caring - a perfect family. and asou-kun. you'll grow to love this guy lol. btw, the music is like SUPERB, i couldn't stop singing it in the shower, to sleep, and even in school. the acting is incredibly awesome (go erika!). although i must admit, if there was more romance..just a little more, nothing too huge, then i think it would have earned a true, perfect 10. i know that's not the objective of the drama, but wouldn't a well-rounded drama be the best? =)

anyway, you wouldn't want to miss this! it doesn't matter if you like dramas or not. watch it lol. if you hate touchy slash sad dramas, watch it! you don't actually cry because it's sad; you cry because you feel amazed by aya's humbleness and the cares of her friends and family.

This will make your life THINK TWICE. [Rating: 10/10]
When i first read the synopsis, i thought it is just another true based drama which have been overdone.

And after reading those reviews, I thought those who mentioned it must be over exaggerated. How can this drama so dramatic and left impact on some viewers??? So I decided to buy and watch it and judge for myself.

I wasn't that thrilled after watching episode 1. I found it quite normal and nothing so sad about it. It was the episode 3 that makes the whole drama the turning point. That was when you realised your tears flowing out so easily. That was when your heart starts to feel sad for Aya.

In this drama, it reflects how cruel our society is.

When Aya is down with the deadly disease, you can see how friends keep away from her.
You realised how fortunate to be a healthy person and the ugliness of public perception at those disabled.
You can see how her 1st boyfriend shun her despite that he knows that she suffered from the disease.
You realised friends are NOT forever to help you, they will feel 'tired' one day and give up on you.
You will understand the strength of a family support. That kind of strength that support till the end and never ever give up on you.

I thought Precious Time is sad but not until i watched Beautiful Life. I thought that is the saddest drama but that changed after watching Orange Days.

And i thought that's it. Enough of sad dramas.
But this was really a DRAMATIC drama, as a guy, i seldom shed a single tears for watching drama. (dun say.. even keith does.. lolz)

For this, i can't help it but feel sad for Aya.
and yes, i did shed 'a few' tears. She really motivates people with her strength and quotes.

Heart moving, heart breaking : a must see ! [Rating: 10/10]
The fact that this drama was based upon a real story makes this truly heart moving, even heart breaking. Honestyl, I couldn't help myself crying when watching episodes 2 & 3. I guess the rest of the series will be emotionally painful. I also have to emphasize the fact that Sawajiri Erika's performance is exceptional.

The best drama !!! [Rating: 10/10]
I started seeing this drama becasue of Ryo>.<....but later on,i continued this drama because of the touching story and characters.

tears will always come out, without you recognizin [Rating: 10/10]
this is a Jdorama where you're going to have tears flowing down from your eyes, without even you recognizing it!!

wut a story!! definitely not one of those cheap sad story, and will definitely stay in our mind for long time! the main lead actress, Erika Sawajiri definitely DID more than a great job. the way she acted is real!! Here we come, the next Japan's superstar, ERIKA SAWAJIRI!!

This drama is definely a life-altering series,this drama tought me alot about life,about not giving up ,about treasuring my friends and family...this drama is REALLY sad~~~i really cried 1 litre of tears...i always dislike this kind of sad-ish series,but,this is the 1st sad-ish drama that i enjoyed watching even if i cried about 90% of the time watching it.
