ONE LITRE OF TEAR

Synopsis

After the tears are shed, a new day begins… Adapted from the same-titled novel, 1 Litre of Tears is based on the true story about a girl’s long fight with an incurable disease.15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She has been falling down often and walks strange.One day on her way to school, middle school student Aya (Asae Onishi) suddenly falls to the ground. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration – a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. Entering high school, Aya’s condition continues to worsen as physical movements become more difficult. Forced to attend a special boarding school, she nonetheless finds hope and happiness through the support of her new friends and family. Working hard, she completes her high school education and bravely begins a new stage in her life, despite her weak health and continuous trips to the hospital. Aya never gives up, living each day of her life to the fullest until the very end. 

She is so brave, despite everything, despite not being able to do all the things she wants to do so much, she is still brave and so sweet and so positive about everything. She tries her best, really, and this drama makes you really think about living and appreciating all the little things we can do, because I don't think that we fully appreciate the simplest of things. Like being able to walk, or write, or talk even. This drama give you inspirational, when you feel to give up or desperate. So, I suggest you watch it yourself. You won't regret it. This is the best Asian drama that i have ever watched.
