Synopsis

A pair of half-brothers has been living quite distinct lives. The younger has loose ties with the underground world and maintains little contact with the family. The elder, who is autistic but highly artistic, works in a factory. After losing his job, the elder brother moves in with his younger one. Though initially negative about the new burden on his shoulders, the younger brotherfs heart softens toward his autistic relative. Just when things are going smoothly, the elder is diagnosed with blood cancer and needs a transfusion. A futile search for their father prompts a fallback on shady connections to raise the money for the treatment.

A great drama, I loved it, I recommend it. Koichi's act was very cool but the last episode was so ridiculous, I don't like the ending ÊÊ

Watching this drama, makes me think..what is the true meaning of life. Feel how lonely Tetsuro is, how tough he is when he try to go through his life even there its really hard for him~~
Koichi really impressed me with him. Can't believe in the age of 23 he can act as someone 30.Thats the huge different between him and Tsuyo~
