Based on a true story
This story is about a girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The original story is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Liter of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies.
Aya's only wish was “to live." By carefully depicting Aya's earnest desire to live, and the love of her family, friends, and lover, the drama, “One Liter of Tears" wishes to deliver her simple but strong message: “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing."
Episode One
The drama starts right before Aya is hit with the tragic illness, called Spinocerebellar Degeneration, in which the nerve cells of areas necessary for the human body to move and balance - including the cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord - transforms and eventually disappears.
15-year old Aya Ikeuchi is the eldest daughter of a typical Japanese family. She lives with her cheerful and reliable mother, Shioka, father Mizuo, owner of a tofu shop, younger sisters Ako and Rika, and younger brother Hiroki.
On the day of her high school entrance exam, Aya is full of energy as she leaves the house. But she falls asleep on the bus and misses her stop. She gets off the bus and starts running in the rain, slips and falls, injuring her knee. That's when she meets Haruto Aso, who was planning to skip the exam. He gives her a ride on his bicycle to school where the exam will be given. Aya is allowed to take the exam in the school nurse's office, and manages to pass.
When the new semester begins, Aya is elected class rep. and joins the basketball team. On the boys team is someone she has eyes for, which adds to the things she has to look forward to.
Amidst her happy days at school, Aya begins to experience physical difficulties. She often drops food from her chopsticks while eating, can't pour water into a cup without spilling it, and occasionally wobbles while she walks. Aya's mother Shioka, a former nurse, is the only person that realizes these changes.
One day, Aya is about to leave home as usual. When she starts to run, she trips over her own feet and falls. She couldn't protect herself with her arms while falling, causing her to land on her face - making her bleed heavily. This injury soon reveals the existence of Aya's fateful disease. | | Fuji TV |

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. I would have never imagine she was able to perform like a true actress. Most of japanese teen actror/actress don't cry on screen (I guess they don't know how to cry on screen). But Sawajiri does. And she does pretty well : it definitely adds a true deep emotional dimension to her performance. I am very impressed, because I thought she was only one of those "teen idols" Japan produces each month, but I am glad to realize I was wrong and that she has a strong potential as an true actress. | | Reviewed by MSZ-006C1 on 30 October 2005 | | 4. | wanna watch [Rating: ?/10]

When I first heard the title of this drama I thought the title sounded silly and lugubrious and the show would be horribly overwrought. I just finished watching the final episode and have to say the title is perfect and the drama is nearly perfect. The story is, of course, sad but also inspirational. I pretty much cried every episode. I guess the fact that it is inspired by true events is what made it so poignant for me. I'm truely amazed by the courage of this young woman and what she, and others like her, have to endure.
The acting was good all around. I had never seen Erika Sawajiri act before; she was just a pretty face to me. I was completely blown away by her performance. Her abitlity to portray both strength and fragility was amazing. I will definitely be hunting out other work by her.
For a story of this type it's hard to think of a better one. | | Reviewed by johnjeon on 11 January 2006 | | 14. | Great! [Rating: 10/10]

this drama was bound to be depressing right from the outset, but i kept on watching every week just to stay in touch with the progression of aya's disease. it was a very shocking and different kind of sad drama because it focused a lot on the physical aspects of the disease, as it worsened in each episode. it also placed a lot of emphasis on the family's interactions and the family's reactions to aya's conditions... superb acting by all. sawajiri erika deserves more than just praise for her convincing portrayal of the strong-willed aya, and nishikido ryo amazed me in his role of haruto, the seemingly brooding boy who becomes a close confidante and more than just a friend of aya's. but i think that seeing how aya's family acted that caused me to cry in so many episodes... i wouldn't be surprised if i cried more than one litre of tears. but it's so worth it. the fact that this story is based on a true story makes this drama even more of a must-watch... seeing the pictures and quotes from the real aya's story at the end of each episode was... really overwhelmingly powerful. | | Reviewed by sawadasmile on 21 January 2006 | | 17. | The character [Rating: 10/10]

I think this drama is the saddest thing I have ever watched. I've never cried so much while watching anything. Almost every single episode I found tears dripping from my face. The acting was incredible. Erika did a great job in making the character Aya seem so loveable. The doctor and the family members acting skills were also very convincing. This drama also made me realize what a great actor Nishikido Ryo is as well. I didn't really like him nor hate him before watching 1 liter, but now I'm a big fan of his. The Aya x Haruto scenes were so sweet and adorable...thinking about it makes me smile.
The soundtrack of this drama makes it even more amazing. I loved the insert songs "KonaYuki" and "sangatsu kokonoka." The theme song is also very touching. I've watched it twice already and it was touching even the second time around. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. | | Reviewed by noodlefreak on 8 February 2006 | | 21. | erika brilliant role [Rating: 10/10]

"To live" is the most important word for patients because they somehow have to find a way to live each day and this dorama was one of the example.

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. | | Reviewed by pandaguitarist on 22 February 2006 | | 27. | MUST SHOW!

This drama made me even want to look up this spinocerebeller degenerative disease and see what it is all about. I really want to read that 1 litre of tears diary that she wrote when she had this disease. I believe it would be an interesting if not an uplifting read that won't be able to be put down such as with this whole series. This dorama series is highly recommended for anyone who just got into the joy of doramas or an dorama addict. It is guaranteed that it will be a tear jerker and anybody who watches it will crie that 1 litre of tears w/ every passing episode, and crie more and more until the tears truly comes out in the final episode.

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.
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.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this drama, is was SO GREAT! Sawajiri does a great job in her dramas and she was phenominal with Nishikido!!! I watched the movie version of this and it was a little slow, so I suggest the drama over the movie. Sawajiri performed everything almost flawlessly, and she's so adorable it's hard not to think that she can do such a job!
She's constantly playing disabled characters, but she does a great job with them that you can't complain. She's good at putting the emotion into each scene, making me CRY! Nishikido was pretty excellent in this too, though he's just that cool type. Although there wasn't too much purpose for his character, the ineraction between the two was great. They have such good chemistry! Momosuke was pretty funny in this too, even though you only see him for moments at a time...

First, let me start this review by saying that I do not like watching "pure" dramas. By pure, I mean those that lack any kind of comedy relief whatsoever. Second, I pride myself with the fact that I have never cried because of a show or movie. Ever. I even watched "Brian's Song" and "Saisyu Heiki Kanojo" and still nothing.
That being said, I can now say that my first and second statements no longer remain true. I started to watch this drama on a whim one day and was hooked from the beginning. hearing Erika Sawajiri's eerily weak voice during the first few minutes of the series already broke my heart. Erika Sawajiri was excellent in her role as Aya, and her performance was flawless. The entire cast was also great and the writing was nothing short of remarkable. The fact that it was based on a true story only adds more depth to it. This is the first show that actually made me cry, and by cry I dont mean "teary eyed but never really falls" cry, I mean "tears falling down while making weird noises" cry.
Whether its because this show will inspire you to live your life to the fullest, or to appreciate the smaller things in life, or turn you into an Erika Sawajiri fan (like me) after realizing how insanely hot and cute she is, or maybe all three, this show will change your life. | | Reviewed by Grim Eyes on 26 April 2006 | | 39. | took me 3 weeks to watch it [Rating: 10/10]

The acting, mainly on the part of Ikeuchi Aya's character (played by Sawajiri Erika) was AMAZING. This story is more than a romance with the twist being that the girl is ill; the story focuses mostly on the girl's bravery and setbacks as she faces her horrible illness. There is romance but it is not the main point like it is in other dramas, which I personally think is good. The real girl it is based on must have been unspeakably strong.

The fact that this plot is based on a true story only adds to an already amazing concept. Every episode is so powerful and heart-wrenching that I couldn't help but cry litres of tears during each one. Erika was absolutely amazing and I don't think the series would have been as powerful without her in the leading role. With such a sweet and innocent face, and such a keen acting ability, she truely depicted the hardships of such a disease. Ryou, not only good looking, is also and amazing actor. His character's feelings for Erika, coupled with the song that always played when they were together, have truely made their "romantic" scenes memorable for all viewers. Everyone is brilliant in this drama and it is truely a must-see. When you're done watching, you continue to thinkk back to it and reflect on your own placement in life.

At first, I thought this drama would just be another sad drama like Sekai No Chuushin(and it was). So, I've always brushed it off to the side and never got the chance to watch it until recently. Heard a lot of good things about it.
After watching it, I WASN'T disappointed. In fact, I think it's the SADDEST drama I've ever seen. This is one of those "life altering" kind of dramas. If you really get into it, you might actually cry a liter of tears. Fiction or non-fiction I think it'll still be as great, but the fact that it is NON-FICTION(partly fiction) makes it even sadder. Aya's words were just strong and meaningful. First episode, I thought.. eh okay. Wasn't that impressed. I thought it was gonna be boring. But, it got better and better as I watched. I got really into it after episode 6. Next thing I know I had tears on the side of my eyes. I think the addition of adding a love interest for Aya here just adds more tear-jerker factor. The interaction between them was nice, not too mushy/cheesy but it doesn't lack. The pace is nice. It doesn't bore you. There's always something interesting in every episode so don't skip.
The cast was great. Sawajiri Erika did a really great job on this. You'd just wanna cry with her everytime she cries. Her family and her love interest, was good too.
The music is very catchy. You'll like it, fits the mood of the drama perfectly. Especially liked Konayuki by Remiomoren which is played everytime Aya and Haruto are together.

like a few others, i started out watching this show bcos i've heard from many how good it was. but i didn't believe that it touching to the point that my guy frens wld actually tear over em, or at least be close to tearing. and like many other guys as well, i previously held on to the belief that this show, no matter how touching, wld not make me cry.
but oh boy, how wrong i was. i daresay i did tear. it wasn't plenty, but i want to admit it here bcos i feel the show is worth it. the only show that has made me teared by far. the pain that aya had to go thru, it was as tho i was going thru it myself.
i say give this show the chance it truly deserves. the show will definitely leave very delible memories.

Unbelievable! this is the best JDorama I have seen ever! I guess it is all personal taste, but I like the sad ones better then the comedy dramas. If you like tear Jerkers there is no better one then this. And to think it is based on a true story of Aya Kitou.
She is trully amazing, I have read some of her Diary which has sold over 18 million of copies and it is very true to the drama which I think is fantastic. Erkia was amazing, I was captivated by her acting throughout the drama, I have never watched a drama where the cast was so well matched for their parts. I also want to give a shout out to Riko who portrayed the 13 year old sister, though she did not get much screen time she was amazing, I hope to see more of her in the future. Aya said "Just Being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing" The drama really makes you think, If you love the drama you should check out YouTube they have videos on the making of it and about the real Aya Kitou, it would help if you can understand Japanese.
The songs are perfect for the drama and complete it, with other songs it would just not be the same. K's song Only Human was amazing, I saw a video where they shot in a shopping Mall K singing he song to Erika who was dressed in her school uniform, very emotional and must have done an awesome job to promote the drama.

Great potrayal by Erika Sawajiri of Aya who never gives up from the moment she learnt about her illness. The plot was from a real-life diary and it was written perfectly for the drama even with a fictional character like Asou Haruto. The pacing never lagged and everything went by flawelessly and you really feel for Aya in almost every episode. the scene at the bridge between Aya and Haruto where she said "Bye Bye!" and Haruto could only hold on to her wheelchair without saying anything, that was very well-done.

firstly, i expected much on this show since the it has the 4th highest vote. however, i got bored during the first few epis. it was slow paced up to the third epi. it only got me interested during the 4th episode.
i love how aya painfully survived the rest of her existence. after watching the 4th epi, it got my eyes all fluffy that i have to stop at every episode so as not to collapse due to dehydration. however, i cried my heart out not for her but for her family and asou. i mean, everybody knows that she will eventually die in the end, but what saddens me was the fact that her family, especially her mother will be totally devastated. and i must say that i totally felt for asou. she will leave him brokenhearted.
i was thoroughly disappointed at the ending because i feel it could have been better. though i know that aya will die, i was hoping that somehow, something very special shall happen between her and asou (like they could have been married... but of course, that's only my wishful thinking.:p)
however, this is a very inspiring drama. i still can't get over it. whenever i remember the way asou was looking at aya during the last scene where the show showed the time aya was still okay, i cry all over again.

Great drama. Almost all episodes made me cry. And not just with some parts, other episodes made me cry the whole time! The story's really sad.

my my my where do i even begin to describe this drama? i was first introduced to this drama about a year ago. in that time, i have watched and rewatched this drama too many times to count. yet each time, the experience is just as bone chilling as the first time i ever watched it. even now, watching it i can't keep from crying. the hallmark of a good drama, the yardstick by which it is measured is not the initial viewer ratings, for which these were quite good. no, the measure of a drama is what it leaves you with, whether a month, a year from now, it still affects you, it still refuses to leave your mind, you still look back and think "damn". if a drama manages to grip you, to take you into the story, to cause you to connect to the characters, to ride the waves both up and down, to grive when they grieve, rejoice and celebrate with them, to share in their joys and memories, when you connect to teh character to the point that anything that happens to them, it feels like it happens to you, that is when you know you have found something special. and readers i can tell you, this is something special. no matter how rock hard or ice cold your heart is, there is not a single person i have ever told about this drama who has not left it without shedding a single tear, feeling even the littlest bit of sympathy for a girl who had such an unfortunate series of events. NOT ONE. even a year after watching it, having watched and rewatched it, it still has not gotten old or boring for me, it is as if each time i am viewing it for the first time. such a beautiful blend of music, swelling and retracting at the perfect times to correspond with the scene, it is something that cannot be translated into words no matter how i may try. this drama has truly been a life changing experience for me, taught me to learn and appreciate the value of life, the price of dreaming, the courage to live life as if there is no tomorrow, to accept both the good and the bad that may come our way. but even then, i still have not enough words to say about this series, and what it encompasses and represents.
i leave with this word, you may be doubting whether or not this series is good, whether it is worth your time. i can honestly say that before this series i was not an avid drama fan, i was not into romances, dramatic plots, but this changed my view, caused me to appreciate the finer arts of acting, performing, it changed my outlook on life. this is no ordinary simple love filled drama, so if that is what you seek then this is not for you. but if you seek something that will change you, cause you to rethink and leave you with a lasting impression, i can honestly say you will not be disappointed. | | Reviewed by aznanimedude on 25 June 2007 | | 108. | One of the Best Doramas Ever [Rating: 10/10]

Yet you will cry because of the main character's willing to live and how she sees the world with her weakness.

But I'll try anyway.
The impact this drama had on me was something I never thought possible. I had a lump in my throat for pretty much the whole duration and cried several times. ( ...and I'm a guy by the way ). No other drama, movie or any form of fiction ( even if based on reality ) has made me think like this one has. It made me feel like I'm wasting so much time of my life for nothing. It made me feel like I should try to live life to the fullest at every moment. It makes me feel horrible to think I've been given so much time and I'm wasting it, while others are given so little. It makes me think of all the chances I've been given that I've passed on, when others never get the chances. This drama made me feel more in the course of the few days I watched it than I've felt the last couple of years combined.
This drama belongs to the number 1 spot. However much I enjoyed GTO, it has nothing on Ichi Rittoru no Namida.

The fact that this drama is based on a true story made it that much more meaningful. It was painful to see one of my favorite idols act the part, since everything felt so 'real'. This is what I liked the most about the drama-- it's not like your typical drama where there are cheesy jokes and cliché plot twists all around. Everything from the character interaction to the acting felt real to me. I almost felt like I was right beside Aya, and felt the pain she was going through every episode.
Now I'm going to warn you; this drama does not have a happy ending. It's very painful to watch at times (in fact, it's probably the saddest drama I've ever seen), because you really feel Aya's pain. I'm not afraid to admit that I cried my eyes out during the last few episodes. I think every episode made me teary eyed. I'm usually not one to cry during a drama or a movie...hell; I can watch Titanic with a straight face.
I'm glad to have seen a drama like this, because you take a lot of things from it. For one, I've began to appreciate my life a lot more. Even the little things such as walking, being able to talk, having a healthy family and friends. I am now more grateful of everything that I have in my life. I think this drama is a must watch for anyone. There's just so much to take from it...and we can all feel Aya's pain. This girl was a truly a remarkable person; and seeing her stay strong gives me motivation to live on, even during the hardest of times. I feel that it's a necessity to tell everyone about this drama, because it was life altering for me. I now wake up every morning, thankful for being alive, and for being able to have all the simple things in life.

Good, but not the best, in my opinion. Firstly - some elements of the storyline I find annoying - the constant eavesdropping on conversations to find out things (one episode had particularly many instances of it); the whole 'being there by coincidence' thing (and coincidentally then eavesdropping); Japan's apparent abundance of suffers of this rare disease; and the hospital scenarios which weren't really very realistic (I work in a hospital).
But someone has told me not to be so realistic. This, after all, is a dramatization.
Sawajiri Erika was astouding as the disabled Aya. It must have been both physically and mentally exhausting to play such a character, and she pulled it off marvelously. Nishikido Ryou, however, was a disappointment. Having watched him in other dramas, all I can say is that he can only project several emotions on his otherwise impassive face - smiley, sulky and teary. I loved Yakushimaru Hiroko's portrayal of the strong, positive, loving mother.
The character that appealed to me the most was Narumi Riko's Ako, but unfortunately the character's growth was stunted towards the end, as were the development of all the other characters apart from Aya. I felt that there could have been more done about the family, who were the key supporters to Aya. (They didn't even visit the grave with their parents at the end of episode 11. How dare they.)
The soundtrack is a great one to listen to; I do believe it's shot Remioromen to fame with Konayuki and Sangatsu Kokonoka.
I rate this an 8 mostly because I have several issues with the story and with Nishikido's acting, but I'd recommend this to anyone who loves a good tearjerker. | | Reviewed by Limes on 19 March 2008 | | 126. | incredible, and very touching. [Rating: 10/10]

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. This is really a DRAMATIC drama, you can't help it but feel sad for Aya.

This is one of those that will leave a deep impression in our hearts and minds after watching... a truly touching story about a girl and her strong will to leave when inflicted with an incurable disease. What I really like about this story is the strong focus on the family. The story really tugs at the heartstrings but is never OTT, I guess it's because it's from a true story and thus is very real indeed. I felt the inclusion of a fictional character in the form of Haruo was very nice, he was another important source of emotional support for Aya. I only wish the real Kitou Aya had someone like Haruo too. Sawajiri Erika's portrayal of Aya was very good, I think this is a real breakthrough for her. | | 10. | Comments by Sevenz [Rating: 10/10]

A drama that is based off of a true story of a girl suffering from a serious spinal condition. Some events of the drama go acccordingly to the actual life of the young woman, but some things such as the romance story between the main character and Nishikido Ryou did not happen in real life. In fact, the mother wanted to add the romantic story into the drama because she felt that was one thing that she would have liked her daughter to experience.
The drama has a few touching scenes with suprisingly good acting from the new actress. Although for some reason, I still prefer "Sekai no Chuushin de Ai wo Sakebu" over this. Still a great tearjerker though. | | 14. | Comments by emiko [Rating: ?/10]

One of the best dramas I watched in this season (along with HYD). Based on a true story, this is a drama with all the right elements. The female lead is outstanding as Aya (Erika) imo...she played the role of a girl who suffers an incurable disease very well.. The emotions and tears..really moved me at times..and made me wonder if she did shed "a litre of tears"!
Also, the male lead (Ryo from Johnny's boyband Kanjini 8) did very well as the person who plays an impt role in Aya's life after she is diagnoised with the disease. The scenes he shares with Erika are one of the best scenes in this drama imo. (brings to mind the song Konayuki too :)) An interesting fact of his character is that it was unreal in real life! This was written in at the request of the Aya's mother as one of Aya regrets before she died was not experiencing love. A sweet gesture I must say.
Besides the two leads, I really liked the other cast members' roles, esp the family members. I can sort of understand the pain, suffering, indifferences that occur at the start of discovering Aya's illness...the siblings unable to come to terms...the parents who couldn't bear to tell Aya the news at 1st and then doing everything they can for her as her illness deteriotates...it is really touching the way the family bonds together as the drama progresses.
I have to say Aya has taught us a lesson in life..I have learnt so many things from this drama. "Being alive is such a good thing" | | 34. | Comments by Ozmek [Rating: 9/10]

Dec 2005: This drama left a great impact on me, not only i was moved by the determination of Aya, it also taught me to appreciate life, live it to the fullest, not to mention, it made cried more than one litre of tears............songs by K and Remioromen definately one of the reason. | | 38. | Comments by bLaCkNbLuE [Rating: 10/10]
Very moving drama... A MUST SEE. | | 39. | Comments by yume [Rating: 10/10]
Based upon a true story, this drama is written eloquently and heartwarmingly. The quotes at the end are encouraging for us to live life to the fullest. The characters around Aya, the main lead with the disease, are fleshed out and given purpose, which makes this drama all the more touching. | | 40. | Comments by misato-chan [Rating: 10/10]
Sawajiri Erika is very good. Touching and sad, just the way I like it. | | 41. | Comments by AjiKan [Rating: 10/10]
Words cannot describe how much this drama has affected me. I cried; I laughed; but most of all I cried. To see the things Aya had to go through opened my eyes, and made me more appreciative of life, and how precious it really is. The acting was very well done, and the writing was top notch. I cried a Litre of Tears. | | 42. | Comments by yami [Rating: 9/10]
it was so touching! ;__; I had nearly forgotten how much you can cry over a drama series... I cried non-stop during the last episode. and the relationship between aya and haruto is so cute. this show made me more interested in ryo too <3 | | 43. | Comments by ueda_neko [Rating: 9/10]

The sadest dorama that has ever been made... just because it's based on a true story. I love Ryo in that... I cried in every episodes so far... every stone heart can be warmed with that. One liter of tears ... not a exaggeration. T___T It's painful and great to watch it the same time. My favourite dorama at the time.. | | 46. | Comments by ilovedrama [Rating: 9/10]
Cared for the character hence a 9/10. | | 47. | Comments by Lee-chan [Rating: 9/10]
I've never cried so much watching a television show, ever. All of the members of Ikeuchi clan had their turn to shine as actors, even the Johnny's Junior kid. Sawajiri put her heart, mind, and body as the terminally-ill student. Got a little draggy or over-the-top at some parts, but over all a really gem. | | 48. | Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 10/10]
I love this drama!! All the charas are good, esp the main actress. She did a great job. Nishikido Ryo's chara gets more and more likable. Just too bad his relationship w/ Aya never gets too deep. All the eps are enjoyable. I'm just sad that Asou-kun didn't visit her in the end. Even tho a lot compare this w/ SekaChu, I like this one a LOT more than SekaChu b/c the girl is stronger, more hopeful, & isn't as reliant on the guy. I gave up SekaChu by ep.8 b/c I know what's gonna happen, but this one...I couldn't stop watching until the end!! I wonder if Asou-kun is based on a real person too. | | 49. | Comments by ainangst [Rating: 9/10]

watch... cry... learn... | | 50. | Comments by Hinano [Rating: 10/10]
This reminded me of the drama "Koukou kyoshi" mainly because the lead girls looked similar, and Fujiki Naohito was in it, but later it was really sad, and you know from episode 1 what's gonna happen but you can't stop watching it anyway. Really kept me hooked but I wouldn't watch it again because it's really depressing T__T | | 51. | Comments by lilbabi1004 [Rating: 10/10]
made me cry a few times~
good light-hearted (no jumbled up romances, etc) drama. My first time seeing Nikishico Ryo on screen...he does a good job ^-^ | | 52. | Comments by Rainee [Rating: 10/10]
its certainly worth every single tear shed, especially since this is based on a true story of a couragous girl. Haven't not cry for a single episode. | | 53. | Comments by yo-chan [Rating: 10/10]
From the beginning on I knew I would cry all through this... very touching. keep tissues reachable ;__;

wow, this drama is really touching and sad. I have cried throughout the whole series and it really inspires me and makes me live life to the fullest and not take life for granted.

I was taken away emotionally by this sad story, and true story. Erika Sawajiri played the lead role very very well, and i enjoyed this sad drama from beginning to end. The music was good as well. | | 56. | Comments by inutikidude [Rating: 10/10]
I think everyone should watch this drama regardless rather you hate sad stories or not. 1 Liter of Tears really touched my heart. It made me view life in a different way. It made me want to live on. | | 57. | Comments by MissMonika [Rating: 10/10]
One of the best dramas I have ever seen. Truly incredible and beautiful story about hope in the face of tragedy and suffering. I am just so touched by this story. | | 58. | Comments by IkematsuSosuke [Rating: 10/10]
It's a great and inspring drama. The best drama of fall 05..one of the best this year..can't pick between this and Engine. The actress, Sawajiri Erika is awesome and so is her on screen mom, Yakarimaku Hiroko. Nishikido Ryo gave a good performace as well.

the title says it all.. one of those doramas that gave me that " anxious" feeling of not being able to wait to see what happens next.. beware though.. the title says it all!!!! excellent story and acting.. really makes you feel like your'e part of their family and experience a lot of feelings with them also!! definately reccommend for those sappy people (like myself) to watch!! | | 77. | Comments by mieki [Rating: 9/10]

I've watched close to 70 J-dramas thus far & this is only the 3rd one that I have ranked at 10. (sekai no chushin no ai o sukeba & Seija no Koshin are the other 2) Sekai was an exceptional story & a great piece of entertainment. Seija was a great story that made you aware that we are all human and should be allowed to lead a life of dignity & mutual respect.

I was asleep one night, only to wake up found out my eye were in tears cus I had the secne from the last ep running through my mind, I just can't stop thinking about the ending and what an Ending it was, I was SO moved by this great series, they couldn't have pick the better cast than what they have, esp to Aya and her Mother. What a Mother she is, always thinking about she children. Yakushimaru Hiroko you are the perfect mother in my mind. Just thinking about the X'mas secne with all family members together makes me want to cry(I'm a guy BTW). I've seen many many sad dramas in my life(Beautiful life, God! please give me more time), but this one is the best, never before I seen a series that make me cry while I was asleep. Thank you Fuji TV and the great fansub group for bring this great great story to us all.

Yes...the story is very touching...and you can't handle it and have to cry when you watch some scenes..Ryo made a great job as actor, Erika was not that good ..ok she looks fine but she is not the best actress and sometimes its seems like she forces herself to cry.She just tried too hard and it didi not looked natural but there were some scenes where she played ok.
All in all it's a sad and touching drama (and has an awesome soundtrack) but the actors cry way too often. | | 87. | Comments by noodlefreak [Rating: 10/10]

I just finished watching this drama few minutes ago. I still have tears drying all over my face. I must say. I really really like this dorama. The way it has been presented was really realistic. It makes me wonder as I found Aya so courageous and strong. Also knowing that this is based on real fact, knowing there was really an Aya out there that went through something very similar to what I've seen, it's simply heart-breaking. Somehow, I'm really relieved to know that there's strong peoples in this world that fight for their life until the very end. We can guess and try to imagine their pain. But it just not the same when it's presented on screen. I got myself totally into this drama. It really been a while since I got myself so hook up. I've even been crying at work while thinking about few scenes of this drama. I cried for all episodes. Sometimes during a particular scene, sometimes during the credits, sometimes during the preview of the following episode. Eventho I'm quite a sensitive person. I don't always cry like I did for this drama. My latest must be years ago while watching Grave of the Fireflies the Anime version. The only con I found was that they made it slightly a bit too corny at the very end. I would have crop few minutes off and I would give this serie an 11/10 really.
To whoever haven't seen this yet, please give this drama a chance as this was a great production full of realism. One awesome production I've seen without the pretention of asking us to cry for them. The tears just normally flow. And I'm glad to have been a viewer.
Great acting from cast, nice chemistry between all characters, good-directing. One must-not-be missed Japanese dorama !!!!! Cheers | | 100. | Comments by pandaguitarist [Rating: 10/10]

This is an amazing story which gives such an inspirational message...To live on. Yes, you will cry (if you don't, then you're not human) The cast was amazing. Erika did a great job as Aya, you truly believed that she did have the disease. Ryo also did a excellent job as Asou-kun and his talents as an actor was perfectly protrayed in 1 litre (that boy can cry, who knew eh? ^^) A definite must see! | | 109. | Comments by Ralbol [Rating: 10/10]

This drama marks the 100th Jdoramas I've watched. A drama I've been anticipating & it did not disappoint me. Very thought-provoking & tear-jerking. There was not a single episode that I did not shed a tear. Like the little snippets of quotes from the real Aya & photos of her showed how strong she was struggling to live on despite her illness. This drama also has a superb theme song which is very aptly named - Only Human. We are all only human & precisely because we are human, we live strong & on. Ichi Ritoru no Namida....I think I did shed that much of tears. | | 113. | Comments by SyoCamui [Rating: 8/10]

At first, Ryou reminded me of a drug addict Takizawa Hideaiki & Aya eerily reminded me of Superproject Idol Kelly Poon. Nevertheless I cried from episode 1 all the way to the last and slowly fell in love with the cast. . It's not a tragic tragic plot that just wants to squeeze tears out from the audience. It's heartwarming and at the same time breaks your heart!! Makes you appreciate your health and life better. Gd values instilled, great soundtrack by K, great acting, heart-rending story without nonsensical tragedy. A classic! | | 126. | Comments by xiong_here [Rating: 9/10]
HEART WRENCHING and it hurts so good. Its done even better then some of my Korean Doramas and man...those Koreans can pull some great ones.

A very heart-breaking drama. I've started crying in all episodes besides in episode 1 and it surprised myself. I didn't expect the story to be so emotional but the fact that the drama is based on a true story, makes it even more emotionally painful to watch. (But I manage to finish it.) Aya is a really amazing person indeed.

Too sad. Made me cry a lot. Amazing Sawajira Erika performances | | 137. | Comments by meiohsetsuna [Rating: 10/10]
It's no secret that this drama will leave you in tears. From the first sentence in this drama to the ending sequence, you know this girl is going to die. And you know it is a true story. With that in mind, you get to put yourself into the mind of a young girl just starting highschool. Sawajiri Erika performs beautifully as Aya, the girl inflicted with the paralyzing disease. Nishikado Ryou plays a love interest, and a very sympathetic one at that. I'd be so happy if I learned that his charecter existed in real life. I also applaud the performance of Narumi Riko, who plays one of Aya's sisters. Definately heartwrenching, and makes me tear up when I think about it. | | 138. | Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 10/10]
Truly outstanding. Everyone did a good job acting-wise and the story moves along at a good pace (not fast, but just fast enough ^^) The story is very aptly named as I've probably cried one liter of tears by the time I finished the drama. I pretty much cried at some point or another in every episode except for the first. I also like it 'cause it concentrated on both Aya's family, friends, and love life, unlike Sekai No Chuushin which mostly only concentrated on the main character's love life. It's a truly inspirational story that I'd recommend to everyone. | | 139. | Comments by princess [Rating: 10/10]

One of the best dramas I've ever seen. The cast are great actors in their own right, especially Sawajiri Erika who played Ikeuchi Aya. I never thought she could act with such passion. She added depth to the character and made the series really meaningful. Same goes with the actors who played her Mom & Dad. It's really a sad drama and will make you think about your life and what it really means. Geez, it's heaps better than watching meaningless "Kimi wa Petto"! Trust me. You shouldn't miss this for the world!
And of course, some girls want to watch this for the sake of Nishikido Ryo. He can act and he's a cutie at that! haha. Enough! But yeah, the whole cast are superb! Worth every hour you spend on watching each episode. :) | | 143. | Comments by leboy [Rating: 10/10]

Based on a true story, this is probably the most heartwrenching j-drama ever made. Even the most coldhearted humans will most likely find some moments nearly unbearable. Highly recommended. | | 151. | Comments by sao [Rating: 10/10]
A wonderfull drama. I have read the title and I am laughting, but I never thinked I can cryed so much in a drama ! The title is not a lie. | | 152. | Comments by ^EcLaiRe^ [Rating: 10/10]
this is one of the saddest dorama i've ever watched! very inspiring! loved it with all my tears... :") | | 153. | Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 9/10]
Watch it Sawajiri Erika & Nishikido Ryo are a cool combo! It's so sad and emotional, better than the movie version. Though the love seemed pointless they still were a cool combo! Sawajiri Erika always plays a disabled character, but she's so good at it! | | 154. | Comments by Junn [Rating: 9/10]
Excellent performance by Sawajiri Erika, and very sad story. 9 out of 10 | | 155. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 10/10]
Excellent drama with superb casts. It's very touchy to see Aya's spirit and efforts to live her painful life. A must see drama. | | 156. | Comments by prismatic_star [Rating: 9/10]
Absolutely life altering drama. The music was brilliant, actors were superb and best of all, it makes you appreciate your loved ones even more.

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.
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.

Wonderful script plus great casting. Erika Sawajiri and Yakushimaru Hiroko were outstanding in their roles with some strong backup in the supporting cast, most notably Narumi Riko. A very realistic portrayal of a young girl forced to deal with the harsh reality of dealing with an incurable disease.

Well, this drama gives me mixed feelings..it's really touching to think that it's based on a real story and i do love the sound track to this series. However, in my opinion i think that the people who made this drama tried to make it TOO touching..the acting feels really fake at times, as if every one is trying too hard | | 191. | Comments by KokiChan [Rating: 9/10]
Really great acting and story!
I cryed a lot, mostly during scenes with Ako, Aso or Aya's dad... they're my favorites. I liked to watch Aya and Aya's mom scenes, those two are great together! It was a bit confusing sometimes because they skip months or years without warning. | | 192. | Comments by Rory [Rating: 10/10]

This drama is very sad. I wanted to read the book after watching this drama. Sawajiri Erika's very pretty, hope to see her in other doramas as well.... However, she wearing makeup even in last episodes was distracting. She really shouldn't have worn mascara after about ep.4.
I really liked Narumi Riko too. Can't believe she's born in 1992. She looks, like, 16.
Though I liked Nishikido Ryo's character, he looked a bit unhealthy in this drama.
This drama shined because of Jinnai Takanori and Yakushimaru Hiroko. They were great actors that gave this drama substance. Well done! Overall, it was a good drama that made me to appreciate what i have.. | | 196. | Comments by kumaxell [Rating: 8/10]

Very good acting. Erika puts on a good show for her first main role, though she was too prettified to accurately portray the disease. But Ryo and her had some good chemistry going on there.

Wow. After completing this drama, it really touched me. It again show's us what we take for granted. We think of running as something normal, we think of eeting as something normal. But this just showed there are people who can't do that and just want to return to such a normal life. This is really a hart breaking drama which will flow lot's of tears. Not because it's based on a true story, but the story itself and the characters were great, really, superb even. I also really liked Erika's acting as she did a great job of playing the role as Aya. When you see her acting in this drama, it's almost if you're looking at a person who has her disease for real and she is very convincing. I'd love to see her act more! Just my thought about this drama ;) | | 233. | Comments by yamapi_4lways [Rating: 10/10]

Umm... to tell the truth, I don't think it's a very good drama production. Though it's based on a true story, but I still think they'll have to pay more attention to the storyline and how they bring out the story. I don't think the younger actors are doing a very good job in this drama. Demo, ganbatte ne~ | | 238. | Comments by T3tsuo [Rating: 10/10]

There was a good reason that I avoided to see this drama and that's because I didn't want to see something so sad. But by avoiding it, I missed out on such a good show. I've finally finished it after avoiding it for so long and I'm glad I watched it. The show moved me very much and it was quite an emotional experience.

I should say everyone in this drama acted very well!! Recommended. Don't think I will ever forgot this drama. | | 245. | Comments by GreenIce [Rating: 7/10]
Decent dorama. Thought it was going to be a standard tearjerker at first, but there's more to it than just that; the amazing courage of the main character in the story was quite inspirational. It is based on a real-life story, loosely or closely I don't know, but knowing that someone really went through all that makes it well, more real. The way the family and friends react and pull together to help one of their own is also touching.
One of those shows that makes you think about your life and whether you're happy with it. The fact that the two main characters are eye candy does not hurt the watchability of this show. Konayuki is a great song by Remioromen! | | 246. | Comments by silverchain [Rating: 9/10]

Yes, the rumors are true it is a tearjerker. Story-wise, it was painful and beautiful at the same time --a real inspiring story. Surprisingly, it wasn't dragging. The story covered a long period of time, and you really see the change in the characters. Erika Sawajiri was the heart and soul of this drama and the series wouldn't have worked had she not given a great portrayal. Nishikido Ryo was a great surprise also. His acting gave you the impression of real hurt and love. He's got beautiful tears, yes. The acting of the enitre cast was good. *clap clap* Anyway, its rare to find a drama that will stay with you a long time. I don't think anyone will dare forget this story. Its just impossible. | | 250. | Comments by Kawaii Kinomoto [Rating: 10/10]

undeniably good, ichi ritoru no namida is a powerful, influential drama. if the media can be seen as a mass communication tool used to convey an ideal influence, then this drama will be a perfect example.
ichi ritoru no namida shines in every possible aspect. it has the most impressive cast i've ever seen yet, a very fitting OST to depict every mood needed throughout the show, as well as a true story that has probably already touched the hearts of many of it's viewers.
sawajiri erika's role as aya was flawless; i personally felt that nobody cld have done it better then her. the same can be said for hiroko's and takanori's role as aya's parents. even ryou's fictional role as aya's love interest (haruto) was a welcome addition.
many touching scenes; aya's earnest desire to live on bravely despite her illness, aya's family unwaivering support, the cruelty and setbacks aya faced throughout. it would be hard to hold your tears on this one.
ichi ritoru no namida has left a very deep impression within me. the show fully delivered what it has intended; to make it's viewers feel that being alive/healthy is a bliss which many have taken for granted. a gem among other dramas, undoubtedly THE best i've seen yet. | | 271. | Comments by mornin_view [Rating: 10/10]
based on true strory, this drama is about aya's life. a young girl who suffered from Spinocerebellar Atrophy, is a rare neurological disorder of the central nervous system. It is the slow degeneration of certain areas of the brain often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. to date, there is no known cure for this condition.i must admit that it is very hard not to cry when i was watching how she struggled and fought her disease and how she wrote her deepest thoughts until the last day she could hold a pen, she did not give up hope.. she was strong inside.

Probably the best tv show that I have ever seen so far. I got hooked to the series straight from the first episode. Very professionally and smoothly made, from the script to the work of the actors and actresses. Also the thought-provoking side of Ichi Rittoru no Namida is carried very well along the series. There are some things that I still would have liked to see in the final episode, but it doesn't ruin the whole experience. | | 280. | Comments by hesaki [Rating: 9/10]
I loved and hated it. It was great, good acting but so sad, that I cried at almost every episode.

Based on a true story, this Dorama features an extremely cute main actress, and convincing support actors.

It is sooo sad!! i havnt finished it yet, but i cried soooooo much on every ep!!! I cant believe it's based on a true story!! | | 295. | Comments by ameagari48 [Rating: 10/10]
when i lost hope in jdramas because my japanese station kept showing reruns and old shows, this drama pulled me back into the whole scene again. i absolutely loved it. you'll cry buckets but even though its one of the saddest shows, it's the most touching and heartwarming and you'll start to think about your own life and making sure it is worthwhile. its values of family, strength, love and living are deep at its core and you'll never regret watching it. this drama made me fall for nishikido ryo but all the actors were superb and did an oustanding job. best drama ever | | 296. | Comments by Amika [Rating: 10/10]
one of the most touching jdorama that i've ever watched.. finished the whole drama in 2 nights.. a must watch for all those jdorama fans... | | 297. | Comments by Coolsmurf [Rating: 10/10]
Never really expected something to top Sekai no Chuusin ai no Sakebu, but after watching this, this really topped it! Great potrayal by Erika Sawajiri of Aya who never gives up from the moment she learnt about her illness. The plot was from a real-life diary and it was written perfectly for the drama even with a fictional character like Asou Haruto. The pacing never lagged and everything went by flawelessly and you really feel for Aya in almost every episode. the scene at the bridge between Aya and Haruto where she said "Bye Bye!" and Haruto could only hold on to her wheelchair without saying anything, that was very well-done. Definitely getting the DVD set. | | 298. | Comments by summershine [Rating: 10/10]
Although I promised myself I would never watch one of these dramas - boy falls in love with incurably sick girl - I accidentally found myself watching it one day. Okay, so it was really hard to resist Nishikido Ryo. :) However, what I found was an AMAZING drama, which brought me to tears more than once, and offered excellent acting. I was also happy that Nishikido-san's role was not overplayed, as I really wanted the drama to focus on Aya's life (as it was in real life) and not become another teen romance story. Sawajiri-san was absolutely fabulous as Aya, and made the show. 10/10 | | 299. | Comments by akane_MYV [Rating: 10/10]
Just the best drama I have ever seen, I recommend it to everybody, who wanna see something, you won't just so easily forget!!!
No episode was boring, you will be entertained in every minute - 0% of boredom! I cried from episode 3 upwards! Because it's based on a true story, it makes you cry more....such a sad drama, the saddest I ever seen. T_T There are such many situations, where your tears just rolling down your face without you knowing it!
I had a really good time on this drama, just my favourite!
It's such sugoiiiiiii! I love it!
I definitely would watch it again! Perphaps more than one time XD... | | 300. | Comments by shortmei [Rating: 8/10]

One of the best. I cried alot while watching it... It's so really sad. And on top of it, it's based on a true story. This dorama makes you think about stuff in life. For what purpose are humen living? Stuff like that.. I'm writing this right after finishing watching and I can't find words good enough. I just recommend it badly. You won't regret it.

The fact that this drama was based upon a real story makes this truly heart moving. i've never cried so much while watching anything. i find myself crying pratically every episodes. Erika did a great job in acting Aya's character. 1 Litre of Tears is a Must Watch drama. | | 311. | Comments by montanaky [Rating: 9/10]
a very different genre from the rest of the shows i've watched. but is great as well.. be inspired n touched by the lead, Aya with her strong determination n also her family's love n support. something else worth mentioning would be sawajiri n ryo's acting.. strongly recommended show =) | | 312. | Comments by hunterxx [Rating: ?/10]

This was a really really good drama. Good as it was I don't think I could put myself through it again, it is so very sad. But to all people who haven't watched it before, you should see it at least once. It's a really touching drama, really sweet and extremely emotional!
This was the first dorama I have seen Eriki Sawajiri act in and she really played the role fantastically! Ryo was Kakkoii!!! And I really loved Fujiki Naohito's character he was fantastic and sweet and caring and I want one ^__^
Overall a great series! If you watch it make sure you have a couple of toilet rolls at the ready! | | 314. | Comments by eml132 [Rating: 10/10]

Never seen anything like this in my life. It's been 6 months since I last watched it, and I still cry listening to the OST. I cry listening to OSTs of other dramas thinking about 1LOT. It's made that much of an impact on me. Erika Sawajiri gives the perfomance of her life here, and I believe it's probably a little too hard to surpass her accomplishments in this one. It may be a little depressing to watch, but it is ultimately uplifting and inspiring. It made me want to treasure every little thing life had to give.
Anything under a 10 for this series is absolutely absurd. | | 324. | Comments by minilight1080 [Rating: 10/10]

This drama is a real tearjerker, but sometimes I had the feeling like it was trying too hard to make the viewer emotional. Parts of it may seem slow-moving at times because it focuses on every little detail like Aya gradually not being able to do the things that she used to (walking, picking up things, etc.) There is also focus on relationships between her friends and how things changed between them because of her illness and also how her family copes with it.
I found this to be one of the more realistic Japanese dramas that I've seen. No flashiness, no excitement, just an interesting drama that focuses on a well-told story. | | 357. | Comments by Kisshu [Rating: 9/10]

1 liter of tears? That must be the amount of tears I lost during watching the drama. Even if I tried not to cry, it was too hard sometimes. The actors did a great job. I wouldn't give a 10 so easily but the drama really touched me and made me think of treasuring my own life and the life with my family more carefully. | | 363. | Comments by helicoptersky [Rating: 10/10]
It's pretty shallow to call a television drama life-changing, but that's exactly what 1 Liter of Tears is. Although I hate tear-jerkers [& I cried buckets and buckets watching this], I daresay it's the best jdrama I've ever watched: I could go on about the brilliant scripting [symbolism ftw!], the A++++++++ cast [Sawajiri Erika, Narumi Riko and Fujiki Naohito were excellent, and Nishikido Ryo broke my heart several times over], the absolutely awesome on-screen chemistry [They never so much as held hands, and yet!], and the really really great music [3/9 and Konayuki are heart-breaaaking]. | | 364. | Comments by balflear [Rating: 10/10]

I absolutely love this drama with all my heart. The actors and actresses did a great job in portraying their characters, especially Nishikido Ryo as Asou Haruto. Also the plot was a real tearjerker and always reeled me in to watch more. I think I cried a lot in this drama, which is an indication of just how good it was. | | 366. | Comments by Danji [Rating: 8/10]
A very touching story. That it's based on true life is just heartwrenching. | | 367. | Comments by DarthMoe [Rating: 9/10]
This was the first Japanese (and even asian) Drama I've ever seen. I wasn't tooo interested at first but I really got into it. I started crying pretty much every episode. I'm some what of a hypochondriac so I do some of the tests every now and then to see if I have the diease. Anyways, it was a very sad drama... I'm still looking to watch the special! | | 368. | Comments by zileas [Rating: 10/10]
Most touching series I have ever seen. Knowing this story is based on a real girl adds further weight of course. Don't be mistaken; this is not about a girl with a disease or sadness or anything in that direction. It's about life. Superb acting by the mother and Aya-chan all the way through. As a matter of fact Aya-chan becomes more impressive when the role gets tougher. The sister who played the main part in Ruri no Shima also acted excellently. She has definately grown since then. While it might have some cliche parts in the beginning, Aya's fate and struggle still has a great impact. Each episode ends by quoting some lines from the actual diary and showing old photos of the real Aya, accompanied by a really meaningful song. It brought tears to me everytime I listened to it after I had finished the series. A real tear-jerker, though as said before it isn't about sadness at all. Shortly said this is a really touching and meaningful story about Aya and her life. This is a true masterpiece because of the impacts and realizations it delivers. A timeless story and an inspiration for all of mankind. | | 369. | Comments by requiem [Rating: 10/10]
Possibly the only drama in the last 2 years that has made me cry. The hardest part of watching this is seeing the main character slowly stripped away of her everyday functions, while altogether growing more and more mature at the same pace.

Not a bad drama. Touching story about a girl fighting to live day by day. Offers a realistic view. However, I still prefer sekai no chuushin - the acting's better in that drama, though a little unrealistic at times. | | 407. | Comments by -happyGALORE-- [Rating: 10/10]

One of very few dramas or movies that actually has the power to change the way people look at their lives. Great acting, especiall by the lead, and lots of emotional truth makes this one a winner. A perfect ten. | | 409. | Comments by mizz_evy [Rating: 10/10]

Sawajiri Erika could have had a better performance. She was better in Taiyou no uta. It's a good thing she had a great supporting cast. Nishikido Ryou was fantastic and Narumi Riko was adorable. The soundtrack was great too. Konnayuki is one of my favorite drama songs ever. | | 416. | Comments by fatrien [Rating: 10/10]

The 1st series i'd rate a 10 even without Ryoko Starring =) | | 433. | Comments by sirhin [Rating: 10/10]
I'm not an emotional person but this drama definitely squeezed a good amount of tears from me. Erika Sawajiri played her character to a tee and if I didn't know better, she could have been diagnosed with it herself. Nishikido Ryo's character was absolutely perfect as it was a gradual development and was believable. Though the ending was very sad, you could also say it was a happy one and I commend it and recommend it, along with a box of tissue on the side. Ichi Ritoru no Namida is an incredibly touching drama that captures everything that came with the plot realistically and I'm glad. This is got to be one of my most memorable dramas to date. | | 434. | Comments by karashiidesu [Rating: 8/10]

For me, the tears started from the first episode. This was a real tearjerker, and the acting was great for the most part (although I felt the young male lead was a bit wooden). However, when the inevitable happened in the final episode, my tears somehow dried up..... just stock up on tissues if you wanna watch this. | | 441. | Comments by xayaxceresx [Rating: 10/10]

This is the best jdrama that I have watched so far. I love the Ikeuchi Family; Aya, Ako, Rika, Hiro, Otousan, and Okaasan. I would like to commend Sawajiri Erika's acting. Her performance gave Aya the innocent and pure character she deserves. Most of all, as the title suggest, tears fell from my eyes, from every episode. It's a great drama. | | 453. | Comments by konkon [Rating: 10/10]

good cast, good plot good songs => everyone should watch this and they realize how lucky they are. | | 458. | Comments by norcal37 [Rating: 10/10]
For the most part, I did not enjoy the show up until episode 10; I almost wanted to quit watching. But after watching the emotional and tearful finale, I was really glad I watched the whole drama.
With the show finished, I want to read the actual book and get to know Aya's story; hopefully I can find a translation for this.
The reason why I give this show a 10 is because this is one of the few shows that has made me cry. I'm a guy and you may think I'm a weakling, but I don't care. The only shows that I have cried to in my lifetime were the anime, Fushigi Yuugi, and the movie "Friday Night Lights" (American). | | 459. | Comments by kaily [Rating: 10/10]

Beautiful. The most heart breaking and inspiring drama I have ever seen. I bawled through the entire thing. Erika's performance was simply amazing. This drama does a good job of really putting you in the main character's shoes- you feel life from her world. Also, by being a true story, this drama has the power to change your life. It definitley changed mine. The main character goes through struggles that are unimaginable to most of us and yet lives to the fullest and continues on. The music is also very fitting and stunning. Everyone should watch this show at least once. | | 465. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 10/10]

Classic terminal illness drama. Like most dramas of this genre, it's using some gloss to make it more tolerable for the viewer, ie tragic heroine is beautiful until the end/hot on and off boyfriend loves her. But it dares from time to time to look at the grittier reality and the painfulness of dying slowly. Well done! | | 471. | Comments by crvn107 [Rating: 9/10]

Really sad story | | 485. | Comments by popdod [Rating: 10/10]
Episode 3 is 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. This is really a DRAMATIC drama, you can't help it but feel sad for Aya. She really motivates people with her strength and quotes. Favourite quote: "While other people struggling for their future, I'm struggling to live." | | 486. | Comments by kimjj33 [Rating: 10/10]
Such a sad drama... I think I cried more then a liter and I'm a guy...T_T.. | | 487. | Comments by phlargo [Rating: 7/10]
Go into this knowing that the main character is in for a rough ride. Her health basically goes downhill the whole series. The story is sweet and there is lots of inspiration to be seen in Aya's fight with her disease, but it's a hard road to watch.
I think the younger sister, Ako (the very talented, young, and pretty Narumi Riko - wish I had liked her more in Honey and Clover) was the real winner for me in the series.
Aya's father, Mizou was also a favorite character for me. I think he was actually the best at showing the devastation and confusion of watching Aya's descent into invalidity.
Ryo is way better in this than he is in Last Friends. He was a pretty sympathetic character really, and often quite realistic.
That was the best thing about the characters in this series - the attempt to show their inner conflicts: guilt, concern, openness, fear, anger, jealousy. They touched on them, but they could have been accomplished so much better.
I find I didn't really "get in" to the series until the 5th or 6th episode, but from there it was a really good watch. In some ways, some aspects of Aya's changes felt rushed and others felt labored. I think this drama could have been 6 or 7 episodes.. or 20 episodes. I'm not sure they figured out the pacing for her story.
Very inspirational. | | 488. | Comments by meri_anne_kiki [Rating: 10/10]

This is by far the most dramatic dorama i watched, in fact my top 2 drama doramas are with Erika Sawajiri(this and Taiyou no Uta). The fact that this is based on a real story is even more touching ans the acting for all the cast was really good, specially Erika.
Sawajiri Erika is my favorite actress and she was really good in this dorama, is a pity that she ruined her career for bad mouthing her fans:( | | 509. | Comments by MutinousWench37 [Rating: 10/10]

hmm, i didnt want to watch this, i thought it was just another drama about a girl with a terminal illness, and the layout would be the same as all the others, but this show really makes u think about life, and how you should actually try harder to do things, and be thankful for the things that u might take for granted, simple things like walking talking eating going to school and having fun with your friends....i cant deny the things i felt when i watched this show....10 out 10 | | 511. | Comments by hyroshi84 [Rating: 10/10]

I started to have tears in my eyes midway through this drama. Great performance by the actress who played Aya and also Riko Narumi. Previously seen Narumi in Ruri no Shima.

Ok sawajiri erika delivers her best performance as an actress in this dorama as she plays a part of a girl who is diagnosed with a terminal illness when she enters highschool. this dorama is about family love, importance of friends, and a bittersweet love story. Nishikido Ryo (NEWS) is also brilliant in this as he gives a very ground to earth performance. RECOMMENDED!!!!!!! | | 543. | Comments by delaciel [Rating: 9/10]

It was beautifully done, the acting was amazing and the storyline incredibly sad. I loved watching it even though it made me cry almost every episode. A touching and inspirational JDroama | | 3. | natni | | 4. | netbreaker
great act by sawajiri erika and nishikodo ryo..the newcomer in japan drama industry.. | | 5. | Jeanxi
Cried so much. Probably the best sad drama I've ever seen ~>.<~ | | 6. | Carlanox
darn, this drama got me. I did cry a lot. | | 7. | katrinac
superb emotional and life altering drama. | | 8. | michiru3
This drama is awesome!! Similar to SekaChu, but I like this so much more b/c the main chara is a lot stronger and the main guy is cooler (not like, "without you, I can't live on"). The main actress really impressed me w/ her acting skills and Nishikido Ryou is just SO kakkoii here (^__^). I wanna see more of both their acting. Altho this drama is sad, it's also very uplifting. One of the best dramas I've seen. | | 9. | DoramaOnna | | 10. | kotya | | 11. | xxhiroxx | | 12. | jess
the most touching jdrama i have seen so far :'( and ryo acted well in it <3 | | 13. | Takashi
“Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing.” - Kito Aya
This 15 year old young girl who was able to face her disease bravely, wow.... i would have probably commited sucide if that happend to me, but to know that this is a drama is based on a true story, its really touching!
This drama has a great meaning, and becuase of it i am living life to the fullest! | | 14. | kamikaze54 | | 15. | Amika
one of the most touching jdorma i've ever watched.. a must for all jdorama fans.. | | 16. | AjiKan
Very heartwarming and sad drama starring Sawajiri Erika and Nishikido Ryo. I think they both did a great job, especially Erika. I'd recommend it to everyone. Very inspiriational. | | 17. | nur_dalilah | | 18. | MixxDreamer | | 19. | Aya_fans
waaaaaaaaaaaaa I guess my tears were more than 1 litter! what a great drama! | | 20. | shiruchsn
a perfect drama! | | 21. | Kendesu
one of the best drama ever | | 22. | kanon
A very emotionally gripping drama. The interaction with the characters, especially Aya, was ever-present. At times, you would just wish you could jump into the scene and bare at least half the pain for Aya.
The actors/actresses in Ichi ritoru did an exceptional job. In particular praise, Sawajiri Erika and Yakushimaru Hiroko(Shioka) were outstanding. The mother plays the role so well in the nurturing of her children. While everytime when Aya was crying, I was crying WITH her or at least tearful. It is indeed heartbreaking to see Aya lose her abilities of moving around freely and all the other things she must give up as a result of her disease. She is such a great person and brave fighter, so at the time when EVEN she collaspes; her supporters can feel nothing but hopelessness and injustice (as to why she is the chosen one of this disease).
One of the saddest dramas you'll ever come upon. But due to the way it humbles the viewer, it makes you feel that you are seeing the scenes from a first person view. And its amazing how much the show prompts the viewers to deeply sympathise with the characters. Ichi Ritoru is definitely one of the most influential, and profound dramas, ever. It communicates very well with the viewers through courage, love and despair. A must watch! | | 23. | lightningemperor
One of the best dramas I've ever seen. The cast was great and so was the story. I've never seen a drama that stirred my emotions so much! A definite must watch. | | 24. | aki_07
I cried from episode 1 all the way to the last. It's not a tragic tragic plot that just wants to squeeze tears out from the audience. It's heartwarming and at the same time breaks your heart!! Makes you appreciate your health and life better. Gd values instilled, great soundtrack by K, great acting, heart-rending story without nonsensical tragedy. A classic! | | 25. | l0nEr | | 26. | ShyBLAzn | | 27. | Kawaii Kinomoto
so sad and cute!! the love between aya and haruto is so pure and cute!! aya-chan's story is so sad and it really makes you appreciate the things we take for granted... just life is such a beautiful thing! i cried more than 1 litre of tears | | 28. | nicpkh
Great drama..recommend to everybody | | 29. | saya317
Tearjerkers aren't really my thing, and truthfully, I didn't cry when watching it. But the next day, just thinking about it, I couldn't control my tears. The power and the tragedy...absolutely touching. | | 30. | cold_jade
This drama really motivates... Everything were great. The script, the quotes, the cast, the music... And it leaves a really big impression and impact in your heart. Even though Asou-Kun isn't real, I think the director and Ryo-chan himself made Asou Haruoto very realistic, not too perfect to be unbelievable. And I love all the songs! This drama is just wonderful. | | 31. | ainangst
"Powdered snow, this heart that has transcended time is faltering
And yet, I want to continue to protect you" (trans by honyakukonyaku)
the love story between aya&haruto is fictional but the pain that aya went through is real.
don't be perturb by the sad theme
worth every single tears you will shed. this is a story about love, courage and strenght | | 32. | timelapse | | 33. | Hero | | 34. | crysta03
at first i didn't want to watch this drama because i knew how sad it would be. but the reviews for it was so good, that i had to watch it. this is such a touching, heartfelt drama. please tell me that i'm not the only one who cried while watching every single episode, even the 1st one!! the ending credits for each ep. is so sad cause it shows you pics of the real aya. and i have to say that watching this drama has made me a fan of nishikido ryou. he's such a cutie!! | | 35. | Anjelus | | 36. | maxs

A Sad Story but gives a great drama | | 43. | teddyray110
An incredibly casted, well-acted, tearjerker of a drama, 1 Litre of Tears is. Right from the start you can sense the tone the drama sets up. Erika Sawijiri is absolutely terrific in the role giving us reasons to be thankful for life. One of the best japanese dramas I've ever seen | | 44. | xayaxceresx
Really beautiful and touching. It inspired me a lot to keep moving on in life. I love this drama, it is definitely one of my faves. | | 45. | 5_lvis_20

Wahh, so sad... Feel sorry for Aya-chan.. But till now its a great drama with sad but interesting plot. I look forward to the next episodes. | | 56. | kenike1
sad and its based on a true story | | 57. | MSZ-006C1
Definitely heart moving, mostly heart breaking. Sawajiri Erika's performance is impressive. It is definitely a must see. Based upon a real story. | | 58. | lgp1520 | | 59. | Yumechan
This drama is just wonderful. It lets you rethink your view of life and gives you courage too.
The way how the actors act is also impressive. You can really feel with every character.
"One Litre of Tears" is a really touching story and a must-see for everyone! | | 60. | kinsei | | 61. | teru_teru_bouzu
Ryo, Fujiki... what more can you ask in a drama...haha
Actually I didn't choose to watch this drama for them, more because when I saw the preview I knew I would love this drama, even if it means I'll cry a long time. I mean the title implies we'll cry right...haha | | 62. | kkl | | 63. | minerva
Great story with superb cast and moving background song | | 64. | junkpro11 | | 65. | moonchyld
because it is one of the most poignant jdramas of all time. and because it has magnificent lead actors (erika & ryo), who despite their youth were able to deliver powerful performances. wasurerarenain desu. | | 66. | Ozmek | | 67. | kiwi | | 68. | room304 | | 69. | heppy
i love this show.. so sad.. | | 70. | sasse
So sad!! really love crying with Aya and Asoukun!! :shamefulcry: | | 71. | misato-chan
Another touching tear jerker. Sawajiri Erika's performance was impressive. recommended! | | 72. | MissMonika
This is one of the most beautiful, touching dramas I have ever seen. It's an incredible story of overcoming tragedy and finding the will to live on. It's really amazing. It's so heartwrenching and incredible. Should be on everyone's must see list. | | 73. | lalalove
wonderful drama. it's very sad though, and it makes me cry very time.... | | 74. | carla-chan | | 75. | megumi s.
BEAUTIFULLY done. very moving. it's not the typical drama about a love story with the twist being that one partner has a disease. although there is romance, the focus is on the heroine, and her and her family's emotional struggles as she progressively gets worse. everything about this drama is amazing: the acting, the music, the storyline, everything. | | 76. | jitpunkia
just watched 2 episodes ... i think its gonna b one of the tops iv seen .. | | 77. | ueda_neko
its drama is really good!!
at first I only wanna see Ryo,
then found out its actually a good story~
(plus Ryo-chan is inside!!><) | | 78. | Aiko221
just fink itz gd....relli sad...='( | | 79. | ayura
I can't believe how much I've cried watching this drama! It's without a doubt one of the most touching and sad dramas I've ever watched, and not to mention Erika's and Ryo's impressive acting skills. A very cute couple. Definitely a must watch! | | 80. | cwenting
This is a teer jerker drama..very touching and saddening...Erika Sawajiri portrays Aya very well..Plus she's so cute and pretty~ | | 81. | kchibi
very touching T_T cried in every eps....boohoo...~ based on true story which makes it better, very meaningful about life and all....learnt a lot! ^^ great music too! | | 82. | ckh019
This is the first full drama that I watched while living in Japan. I would watch this with my friends that understood little Japanese, so they thought it was weird when I would start to cry a little. This drama left a mark in me that will not be removed. The story is so sad and well portrayed that I could feel their emotions. All of the actors and actresses did a wonderful job, but I have to say that Sawajiri Erika did outstanding. The theme song, "K - Only Human" is also my favorite song, whenever I heard the song play in the show, it was hard for me to not feel some emotion. Best drama I have ever seen | | 83. | sunmoon
such a touching and meaningful drama.... everyone should definitely see it!!! | | 84. | atheon
The best drama of year 2005. Looking for a good cry??? This is it. | | 85. | Frey
This drama is just...excellent ! I can't wait for le last ep.... Actors are great, and I cry all the times ... I thinks it's not juste " one" litre of tears... | | 86. | Rainee
A really touching drama. Makes you rethink about values of life. Very meaningful. | | 87. | staybymyside
Simply BEAUTIFUL.
Perfect cast. No one could have done better. A major tear-jerker. The story is touching. And real. And humbling. | | 88. | narutaki
I prepared lots of tissue just for this drama ...
A very superb touching story, taught me a lesson on how to appreciate life and also love ones | | 89. | wecky
my first year to watch jdoramas, really enjoyed 1 liter of tears, one of my favorite drama in this year | | 90. | Yabuki
Great and sad story, cried in every single episode. The acting is also very good, it got to me real good. | | 91. | rei28
A very touching drama that really brought 1 litre of tears.. loved the interaction between Aya and Haruto.. | | 92. | arashimania
One of a better dorama... I cried a lot...Very beautiful story! | | 93. | inutikidude
i think everyone should watch this. it really changed my view about life.....it gave me the courage to go on...... | | 94. | deathstar550
Really surpassed all of my expectations. They couldn't have picked a better cast for this drama... The leads, Sawajiri Erika and Nishikido Ryo, were nothing short of stunning onscreen. Sawajiri is amazing when she smiles, amazing when she cries, amazing when she has that determined look on her face... she really was the perfect actress for this role. As for Nishikido... to be honest, I didn't warm up to his character at first. He was always so cold. But as the drama went on, I saw that he was anything but that.
Sawajiri and Nishikido -- awesome, awesome acting. There was just so much life behind them, so much intelligence, so much uniqueness. I can't put it into words, you just have to watch to show.
And this drama has just about the BEST supporting cast I've ever seen: Yakushimaru Hiroko, Aya's mother; Jinnai Takanori, Aya's father; Narumi Riko, Aya's sister; and Fujiki Naohito, Aya's doctor. These four supporting characters had acting quality of such high-calibre that they're on par with the lead actors of many other dramas. There are so many scenes where these actors shine so brightly... agh, just watch the show. :)
I've talked about Ichi Ritoru no Namida from a pure "actors" view, where I just gave my impressions on the actors and their acting. But just because I haven't talked about the main plot doesn't mean it's not worth talking about... it's just that... well, no spoilers. ;) Rest assured, this drama has both the good acting and the strong story -- Ichi Ritoru no Namida is the whole, beautiful package.
Before this turns into a rant (if it hasn't already ^^')... let me end by saying -- This drama blew me away. I double-clicked on the first episode not expecting ANYTHING. I came away from the last episode amazed and humbled at the message of this drama and the power with which it was communicated. If you could only watch one drama this year, make it this one! | | 95. | Shun_Junsweden | | 96. | OKI | | 97. | Ralbol | | 98. | runpup | | 99. | 8thSin
Most touching series ever | | 100. | Kotori

Really touching, the story, the people, the message and the songs. I love this drama! | | 102. | koridesu | | 103. | Concealeddreamer | | 104. | jc05
This drama had changed so many people's lives, and one of them is mine. | | 105. | Shindou
Storytelling at its best! Erika Sawajiri carries her role to perfection and her mother is no less impressive. Add to that one of the most poignant and realistic scripts I've ever seen for these sadder doramas and you get one incredible series. Completely deserving of a perfect score and for sure one of my top jdorama picks. | | 106. | kawaiikitsune
it's sad...... but it gives you a new look on life. | | 107. | Dr_Pain | | 108. | Milano
I want to give a vote to a drama in the category "super sadness", I've also watched "Beautiful Life", "Summer Snow", "Kamisama, mou sukoshi dake" and "Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu", by now "1 litres of tears" is the champion of the super sadness. | | 109. | Sow Mei | | 110. | yukari_no_hoshi
This is a very very inspirational and touching drama! After watching it, it really changes your perspective on life, reminds us how lucky we are just to be alive and to have dreams that are possible to reach for...
A big congratz to the cast, they made the story very very convincing, every single emotion, every line in the drama...I seriously couldn't stop crying...right from episode 1 to 11!!!!!!!
It's good to be alive ^^v | | 111. | IkematsuSosuke
One of 2005's best drama..Erika-san did an awesome job as the lead..I love how the story was written..it shows the progression and how it affects her and her family..it's inspirational..reminds you not to give up and not to take things for granted | | 112. | TomoyoN
This drama had it all... I hate to say the cliche, but "I laughed, I cried [ALOT]," and I loved it... One of the best series I've seen in a long time... | | 113. | Chiharu
I've learnt a lot watching this and you rarely get to see Ryo bawling his eyes out. | | 114. | Ramsus
Great Dorama. Very touching and so sad, but at the same time it has a kind of positive message about life. You must live your life to the fullest. the cast make a very good performance, specially Erika Sawajiri.
"What's wrong with falling down?...You can always stad up again" | | 115. | booniez
10/10 - Easily. Still, only "Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu" is sadder -- but not by a lot. I hope I can rise above my illness should I become sick like Aya. | | 116. | strawberrynkiwi
love it~ great characters touching story. i loved aya to asou to ako to rika to hiroki to okaasan to otusan to sensei... thinking bout it makes me sad =*( | | 117. | wahyu_ru
i'm a hard-hearted guy(:p)... yet i cried when i watched this....
Erika will definitely become the next superstar.. juz like Kyoko Fukada with the Kamisama back then.... (both died at the end)...
Erika's acting juz stole everyone's heart... i mean.. that cute-innocent face, yet has a hard time...
i would like to see more of Erika in the future...
btw... is the cast for the other disabled girl, the same one who played the character Aya in the movie version?? i think so.. | | 118. | deelicious
its just a drama thats worth ur time, and ur tears. extremely meaningful, and inspiring | | 119. | conan_02 | | 120. | takariforu | | 121. | luvnickie | | 122. | azzwipe
Words cannot begin to describe the emotions i was going through while watching 1 litre of tears. I haven't cried like this for 10 years! It was a pleasure to watch Sawajiri Erika playing Aya, she's just one of the most awesome actresses I have ever seen. Plus she's smoking hot ;-) It's a masterpiece!! | | 123. | matsupichan
The cast is really good and the story will move the unmovable. | | 124. | dagashi
one of the most touching series ever! | | 125. | UtadaFan
I have seen hundreds of Jdoramas, but this is THE BEST | | 126. | anton | | 127. | pandaguitarist
depressing is not the word that describes Ichi rittoru. rather, it makes you want to live life to the fullest. it's beautiful in many aspects..and the casts light up the story. whether you like dramas or not, or whether this is the type of drama you like watching, i would suggest it just because it's THAT powerful. Ichi rittoru humbles you. | | 128. | Shachus | | 129. | d_yubiwa
Eventhough very sad drama but I feel happy every time I watch it. | | 130. | athida
This is one of the best I have watched. It's very touching and inspirational. I cried like crazy! I have never cried so much for a drama. The cast is amazing and I love all of them. A lot of love and human emotions that can touch anyone's heart... | | 131. | modesty81

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.
This is it. I'd enough of sad dramas.
But, reviews and recommendations makes me want to watch this drama.
It was really a DRAMATIC drama, as a guy, i seldom shed a single tears for watching drama.
For this, i can't help it but feel for Aya.
and yes, i did shed 'a few' tears.
She really motivates with her strength. | | 180. | oberon
this drama rocks. minna go watch it!! | | 181. | robetella
Best drama i've watched in my entire life. THE BEST! | | 182. | lilbabi1004
i think it's my first time watching an essentially serious jdorama based on real events. I was so amazed at the acting skill everyone displayed. It was also my first time seeing Ryo on screen...and he definately got my gratitude and praise ^-^. All around great drama! | | 183. | xiaole

Very touching story which made me cry a lot (even Sekachuu which stays my favorite drama didn't me feel that). An excellent tragic drama accompanied with good musics. I liked a lot all actors' performances. A solid morale is advised to watch Ichi Ritoru no Namida. | | 192. | thuydiep
the drama was so heartbreaking.. i cried alot.. and it was based on a true story that made me more sad.. the whole cast did an awesome job! my number one drama until now! | | 193. | dj naomi
'Ichi Ritoru no Namida' is a something that every one should watch. Its very touching actually, with some very good acting in it | | 194. | -kk- | | 195. | iluvhyde
I'll vote it as the best drama for 2005. Life-altering drama. An extremely wonderful performance put up by Erika and Ryo. OST is awesome, and scenes are very well put together. This is a drama definitely not to be missed. A loss to the spiritual self if one missed it IMO. :) | | 196. | taibabi
this one is great!!!!!! I dropped my tear few times.. but I mostly cried a lot at few last episode.. so touching!!!!!!!!!! TT__TT | | 197. | bitsandpieces | | 198. | Grim Eyes

1 Litre Tears is based on real life story. I can feel the emotion the actress potrait. Very good acting skill and good story. This drama shows that how lucky we are as a healthy person thus we need to appreciate all the people around us and enjoy life as much as possible coz we have limited life time in this world. Life will be more meaningful with nice memories though it's short. | | 215. | deean-chan

I already have seen a lot of JDoramas, but Ichi Ritoru no Namida is the only one I voted for.
Its really touching and a sentimentally story of a really greater person.
Lets go for a walk Aya, wherever you are... | | 237. | piano | | 238. | Charizard
very touch and it teaches us the lesson of life | | 239. | ikadoodledoo
made me cry a lot.. but has some loose ends... | | 240. | altec
One of the most heartfelt dramas I have ever seen. A truly beautiful story that gives you hope. The actors amazed me, especially Erika who played Aya-as beautiful as she is talented. | | 241. | coffeandtea | | 242. | geoffropuff | | 243. | devildj02
one of the most heartfelt drama i've watched...the title fits it perfectly with the drama coz your really going to cry buckets... | | 244. | denshaotoko91

One of the best heart wrenching jdrama ever!! | | 246. | basilisk
this drama kills me...in a good way | | 247. | Takeya | | 248. | OCster
This drama kills me emotionally, but it's so beautiful and uplifting that it really doesn't matter. Erika is absolutely amazing in this. After watching this drama, I have to say that it's THE best drama I've ever seen (especially in terms of how much it has affected me). It's told from such a tender and loving viewpoint, from a young girl who tries to live life despite her illness and to live happily at that. It will brutally shatter your heart to pieces, but it will also inspire you in ways that can't be explained... we are taken on a journey, from the first moments of Aya's discovery of her illness to when it all ends. We watch her laugh, we watch her cry, we watch her battle the illness like she were our own friend. The OST is wonderful, but I'm very wary of listening to it because it always makes me cry. Anybody who doesn't watch 1LOT is missing out BIG TIME. | | 249. | leothina
beautiful story... | | 250. | PiriChan | | 251. | Wynter
You MUST see this drama. It's so powerful and will definitely have you thinking about it for years to come. | | 252. | vap0r
Saddest drama that i've ever watch. Of course, if a drama can get you so emotional, it has got to be the greatest out there. =) | | 253. | MaoMoLin | | 254. | -Takashi-
This dorama is sad, and if your into that thing then watch it. I found it good, but sad isnt really my thing. I liked it tho and thats what counts. It had good acting and a true story line which made it even sadder. When it comes down to it, its a good dorama. | | 255. | noungnoi
i cry all the time when i watch.

This is one drama which can wake up most people perception of having things for granted. Even tho it's seems natural to all. Great Show and Cast definitely a MUST see drama | | 272. | babelbox
Very moving drama. Highly recommended. | | 273. | shitomaru
it's not only about tears. seek the meaning....i like this dorama so much. | | 274. | hamsters | | 275. | silverchain
This is probably the best jdrama i have ever watched. Its so touching and heart-warming. I've learn alot from this drama. Great cast. | | 276. | fallenknife
This is hands-down the greatest dorama i have ever watched. Not just a tearjerker, it really makes you take a new outlook in your own life. | | 277. | ex(alibur`
if you haven't seen Ichi Ritoru no Namida then you can't say you have seen the best jdrama yet. no exaggeration, definitely won any other shows i've seen hands down. it shines in every possible aspect (plot, ost, cast). i'll let the show do the rest of the talking. | | 278. | Tokibaka | | 279. | Yamapifans
I cried more than 1 litre of tears when I watched this drama. From the first to last episode.....nonstop.....It's one of the most touching drama I've ever seen. Asou and Aya look so good together. | | 280. | fuyuke
I didnt knew that this show was so sad at first and I just wanted to watch it due to Erika and Ryo but crap! It really can make people cry even if u are not those who cry often. Erika did well in the show and since it is based on a true story, it makes the whole thing seem real. Good show with good plot and good looking main actors. What more do u ask for? | | 281. | aku
teach to enjoy the life that you have | | 282. | J_S_N
Really the most sad and beautiful show i'vve ever seen!! its a MUST WATCH show!! for anyone and Erika is kowaii in it ^^ and her acting is so good~ | | 283. | LostOneTR | | 284. | shizune

Soo sad.. You really can't be human if you're not even slightly touched after watching this. Moving, unforgetable, beautiful.. it's.. WOW. | | 287. | Sana1x2 | | 288. | wanderingfish7
You can't miss this drama if you are a J-drama fan. It is one of the most touching drama I have seen so far. Family, friends, lover.... even most of time, it will make you feel sad and cry, it might change your view of life. | | 289. | Kiyohiko | | 290. | Bushwick2002 | | 291. | calmriver
Definitely the best dorama for me. Simply because the message is clear, and the casts have great chemistry. Erika is not just a pretty face with a good body, but she CAN act soo well.
Worth-watching and worth crying for. | | 292. | sweetsugars
teaches you alot of things :D really really touching. | | 293. | Helena
tears, tears, lots of tears when watching this drama, i shed so many tears while watching it, no wonder they called it diary w tears, so sad story, i think both leading actor/ess did quite a good job in potraying e character, although i personally think e leading actress can brush up a bit in her acting | | 294. | pippy_m1
I love it !!! | | 295. | Karry
Everyone else says all, I have nothing to add. Just go and watch the drama, you won't regret. | | 296. | Wen3Wen
extremely sad ... makes u cherish life and view the world differently | | 297. | bcgurl
Ok.. It's sad.. And touching. Same as what everyone says. I didn't cry as much as them, I think.. Maybe because I watched it on youtube. Damn. So wanna buy the VCD or DVD. But anyway, I still have to say it's really good although I only watched up to episode 5. :)) | | 298. | mornin_view
based on true strory, this drama is about aya's life. a young girl who suffered from Spinocerebellar Atrophy, is a rare neurological disorder of the central nervous system. It is the slow degeneration of certain areas of the brain often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. to date, there is no known cure for this condition.i must admit that it is very hard not to cry when i was watching how she struggled and fought her disease and how she wrote her deepest thoughts until the last day she could hold a pen, she did not give up hope.. she was strong inside. It brings me strength and motivation in my life. Arigatoo Aya. | | 299. | MASATO WOLF
At first I didnt konw if DL this drama or not, because it preview was sad. But then I decided to DL it n Watch IT...and then falled in love just with the first episode. It so good acting, all its so real, the characters, locations, situations, etc. Its really really sad, and make me cry so many times...the songs by Remioromen and K are just perfect for this drama. A Must WATCH!!! Love Erika Sawajiri acting!!!! This drama left a big message to all of us... | | 300. | AiBaka | | 301. | Bodhi
This is one of the very best productions I have ever seen. If you watch it you will love Aya-chan. | | 302. | hesaki

Nishikido Ryou | | 307. | Baka Senpai
an excellent drama, promoting good moral values such as compassion, kindness, patience, thanksgiving and sympathy.
sawajiri erika will have trouble topping herself again with the superb performance she gave in this drama.
ooo and please pay attention to episode 6 when ako owns hiro for aya's sake...sucha touching scene!!! definitely in my top 5. | | 308. | mr.children
I still don't get why this movie is not positioned at number one, because it is incomparable, far above the rest | | 309. | Keru-chan | | 310. | apithea
Great movie. The only movie that makes me cry so bad from the very first episode til the end. It really touches me. | | 311. | aznanimedude

It goes without saying that this drama was a very touching one. What made it truly superb was the amazing acting done by the entire cast, not just any one person. From Erika Sawajiri's potrayal as Aya to the heart rendering performace of Aya's mother, everything was done in a way that evoked the viewers emotion. This was by far the best drama I have seen so far, making drama's like Beautiful life (which i watched later on, a bit dull) | | 370. | sakuravalentine | | 371. | zileas | | 372. | kou

The saddest drama ever...!!! | | 378. | koomiya823
words cannot explain how good this dorama was. not only this was based on the real story, actors did extremely well. I was suprised to see ryo nishikido acting this well. It was the first time for me to see ryo acting, and i admit i was NOT expecting much from him since he is just an idol. but GOSH, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. towards the end, I could tell that he was really crying because he coudnt do much for the girl exept being by her side... I now ABSOLUTLY RESPECT RYO for doing AMAZING JOB on his role, and I don't think he is just a pretty faced idol anymore. | | 379. | miltz | | 380. | dhienz

this drama is the best. nothing can be compared to it. it is absolutely a tear machine, no questions about it. furthermore, it shows the good and bad side of people's reaction to the disabled and importance of family giving encouragement to one another to make life easier for aya to live. this is a good drama. superb | | 386. | janas
beautiful.
the saddest thing I´ve ever watched.

This series was almost too painful to watch at times, but it was also very very good. Erika Sawajiri's performance was excellent, and she really made you feel for her. I watched the 1st 4 episodes and then had to take a break for awhile, because I was in tears every one of them, and it really wore me out. Really emotional stuff! | | 434. | marthapido

Touched me very deeply. Ryo is amazing. | | 462. | SurferZ | | 463. | Saito.Sama
As the first JDrama I ever saw, Ichi Ritoru no Namida has left a special place in my heart. In all honesty, it is perhaps the greatest drama ever made. The tragic but hopeful story of Aya really made me assess my own life and realize how well-off most of us really are. Great acting by all of those involved. | | 464. | bosswithsauce | | 465. | shinjitsu | | 466. | lil-devil | | 467. | nisei
Absolutely brilliant!!! Watch it with a bucket for the tears beside you... | | 468. | JellyFishSushi
First drama I ever cried in! My gosh, it was so touching, especially since it's based off a true story! I was so touched when I found at the Ryo Nishikido's character was added in as a request from the mother... because Aya never had any boy fall in love with her! T^T | | 469. | Rokugatsu Ken

The 1st J-dorama I've ever seen. Beautiful and sad plus it was based on a true story. The actors that were playing the main characters did a great job. I cried every single episode. That dorama can really make you think about your life in a different way. | | 475. | RainHeartz
wah~~~ this drama is urtra nice!!!

I cried ceaselessly, but even so, I left the show feeling as if I had been given a new lease on life. Very touching and encouraging. Excellent OST - you must hear Konayuki! | | 477. | jdoramafan
the best jdorama ever, atleast for me, i know many ppl will second my opinion though.......... | | 478. | KJjap
God! Feels like I cried more than "1 liter of tears"!!!!!! Hell!... I just finished watching it and my eyes are so red. Plus, I ran out of tissues. How can you carry on with your life just as usual after watching this? I knew what the ending was going to be like. I had expected it all since the beginning. And yet....
I dont know what to feel. What if it happened to me? Will I also gradually die along with others that have the same disease? Would I be afraid everyday? Will I struggle and fight to live a little bit longer everyday?
I feel like yelling, screaming with all my lungs, with all my heart. I really want to get rid of this painful and heavy dullness. I want to get rid of all this sadness I have accumulated along this drama...
Sorry for getting too emotional. I guess I must be tired.
I was profoundly touched. Rest in peace Aya. | | 479. | Mabelka | | 480. | hirowei87
It is incredibly touching...Moreover is a life story of a teenager..It really makes me appreciate life more.. | | 481. | pinkokoro

This is really a DRAMATIC drama, you can't help it but feel sad for Aya. She really motivates people with her strength and quotes. Favourite quote: "While other people struggling for their future, I'm struggling to live." | | 488. | kimjj33

This dorama is unbelievably great, I dont know how one could put this dorama into words.
It is really a dorama that not just only touches you (i cried in each episode eccept for the first) but makes you think about a lot of diffent aspects with regard to life. One really starts to rethink and you will definitely change after watching "One litre of tears", you will start to appreciate your life and other people. It will change you. It is just great I would watch it over and over again. I cant describe how wonderful "One litre of tears" is. It will motivate to live your life the way you want to. It is really a great dorama everybody should watch, not only dorama viewers but everybody, it a great real-life story about a very very strong young woman who inspired a lot of people. Incredible! | | 513. | Amber

This has changed my life. It made me sign up to be an organ donator. It made me apply for a medical school after years of working in totally other industry. This drama should be part of everyone's education. It really is that good. 11/10. | | 517. | hoindawall

I voting cause this drama really got to me. I usually don't cry for dramas maybe a few, and its only one time. This drama had me in tears all the time. Never cried so much for any show or movie before.
By the end it felt like my tear ducts were empty and my face hurt.
Amazing story, with a great cast of actors. All of the characters grew on me. Especially Aya's dad.
10/10 this is a good one. | | 527. | prettyfishy
i loved it. a tear-jerker and quite entertaining at times. absolutley fabulous, touching and inspirational. great cast too. a must watch :) | | 528. | jicks
I'm yet to be moved by a series as much as "One Litre Of Tears." Beautiful, touching, all the emotions that make you look at life in a completely different perspective. Aya <3 | | 529. | outlaws0025
Saddest dorama ever made. Really glad I watched it, tho. | | 530. | konkon | | 531. | Nanaki

I have never been more influenced by any drama in my entire life than this perfectly produced drama, from screen writing to acting to music. | | 533. | UetoAyaFanboy
If you don't cry in front of this heartbreaking drama you're a heartless robot. I cried one litre of tears. Take some hankies for your lachrymal flow of tears before you start watching this doleful drama. | | 534. | Soap3rz | | 535. | kun_cheero | | 536. | flintandtas | | 537. | Makochan
All I can say is "Wow". Bring your tissues. | | 538. | niknik | | 539. | killuaherm
