I think Japan wouldn't never make drama as good as Kamisama, mou sukshi dake. Learn about love, family, faith and the most important is you can live if you love someone, and the world going to be very beautiful if the one who you loved is love you too. Fukada still 16 when play this drama, she's going to be the next Japan drama queen as long as she can play good.

There is so much originality in the story and the acting is so intense you can really relate to the characters. It is definitely a tear jerker and if you really let yourself into the story, you will appreciate how carefully the story was written and how everything ties in nicely at the end. The only down side is it's a bit slow, but all dramas were pretty slow back then, almost six years ago. So for those who are used to watching the faster paced dramas of nowaday, be prepared.

It was the first drama I have watched and there's something special on it that makes me watch it at least once a year, and cry all times I watch to it.
The story is original, but a bit unrealistic at the same time. Themes like AIDS, family, friendship, love, life's importance are so well approached that will let you think about them after the end of every each episode. There's intensity in this show, in every scene, in every dialogue.
Takeshi Kaneshiro is brilliant but Kyoko made it. Of course she cries a lot and it can be a little boring at times, but she did a great perfomance on it. Maybe the only one good perfomance she did.
This drama deserves a 10, but since is a bit unrealistic, I would give it a 9.
And prepare your tissues box before watching it.

Despite the glowing reviews this drama received I found it to be overly dramatic at times...the subject matter is far from trivial but the dramatic skill of a very young kyoko fukada is lacking here and she OVER acts a number of times. I did feel sympathy for the characters to be sure but not as intimately as I would have expected given the gravity of the plot. Takeshi Kaneshiro is the better actor of the pair and he helps ground the show somewhat. Slow paced at times but more importantly the drama suffers from the inability to suspend disbelief at various points in the storyline

46. Moments [Rating: 8/10]
In spite of the spotting writing, innane plot with hundreds of holes, weak characters (Masaki, yes Kyoko is cute, but she can't act!), and overt dramatics (cue, lots of crying, or characters running desperately in the rain accompanied by a piano soundtrack; or plently of sepia toned flashbacks), there was enough in this series to make it very good.
Takeshi's acting of the character (as long as one ignores the character's occupation and celebrity status), especially the changes in his personality, held most of the series together. There were some truly great moments that made one forget about all the problems in the series, such as the end of the first episode. Similarly the very end of the series was probably the best ending of all, with a sharpness that was further emphasized by its adruptness and quick cut to the theme song. Truly an expectional (and heart rendering) ending. Probably made the entire series.
The theme song by Luna Sea is one of the strong points, and good use of it (most of the time; the exceptions include some strange echo-cuts), along with the opening title sequence emphasizes alot of the plot. For instance, as stated above, during the first and last episodes.
Overall, there is too much exception stuff in this series in spite of its lumpiness. The themes of alienation, prosecution, loneliness, family and social pressures, tend to wallow about obtusely until a moment of brilliance (parent-child relations; scene where Masaki's mother runs after her in the street, telling Masaki she would do anything to make her well). The series has too many of these moments of great clarity, in effect, negating some of the tediousness (and incredulous) plot, poor characterization, and weak acting.

47. Its more annoying then sad. [Rating: 6/10]
I have to admit the acting was good, characters were good. Story plot stunk and waaaaaay to unrealistic to even get into it. Its not sad at all, its just plain annoying and no common sense in this film.

It gets pretty annoying when you have to deal with a spoiled, selfish high school girl, always wanting her way in almost every episode. And a cheating mom character that gets on your nerves. What is unrealistic is that, you have a rich healthy musician who goes out with a high school girl, not to mention spoiled, selfish annoying high school girl, knowing that she has AIDS, he still sleeps with her and has unprotected sex, later on she gets pregnant and a healthy girl is born, HAHAHA, what a joke. Every single common sense is broken in this line of series.

The only character that I truely enjoyed and really felt sad for is the father figure. Who works hard, supporting his family, while his good for nothing wife cheats, his daughter is just plain spoiled and selfish gets AIDS sleeping around... I felt so bad for him for having such a crazy stupid family when he is the most honest hardworking characters of them all.... Everyone else can go to hell... The director lost his common sense, what was he thinking?!?!?!

But that makes what you see even more touching when you know the outcome. It really is a great show to watch. Fukada Kyoko got on my nerves a bit.... bit Kaneshiro Takeshi is just... well he's gorgeous...
The series is rather unrealistic at times, but that is really rather expected from a drama. The story itself was a rather interesting take on the usual love problems storyline... And I don't think I would have wanted to watch it if everything had gone wrong, which granted would probably have been more realistic. Really... if it had all been 'realistic' there would have been no show for us all to review...

51. Despite all odds.. [Rating: 9/10]
Despite all odds, the main girl Kano Masaki really strived to make the most out of her life. The main complaints people have about this drama is that it's "unrealistic". I personally don't think so. They say it's unrealistic for a teenage girl to prostitute herself? No. They say it's unrealistic for a famous musician to fall for a high school girl? Not really; it's UNLIKELY, but not unrealistic. The emotions that both Kano Masaki and Ishikawa Keigo and everyone around them - friends, coworkers, family- is understandable and totally realistic. My only complaints is that it can be melodramatic (running in the rain, "i can't live without you", etc.) and often goes in circles (well, are they gonna finally be together or not?!), but overall i don't feel those problems are that bad.

The matters of loss, of broken families, of frustrations with career paths, searching for meaning in life, the cruelty of those who don't understand how you feel... this drama is more than just a mushy romance. Highly recommended.

52. Heart-wrenching [Rating: 10/10]
Cast:
Kaneshiro Takeshi as Keigo Ishikawa
Kyoko Fukada as Masaki Kyouno.

Plot:

Many themes have been incorporated into this Japanese TV series, such as HIV, friendship, bullying, abortion, parentage and of course, love.

The story revolves around Masaki, a swoony 16-year-old high school student who is an avid fan of Keigo, a music producer. In order to get enough money to buy the tickets for his concert, Masaki engages in a night of sexual intercourse with a complete stranger.

After attending the concert, Masaki and Keigo met up by chance. Keigo bought Masaki to his home where he was entranced by her bubbly and na&iuml;ve nature. After this one nightstand, Masaki left his house, having no regrets at all.

Three months later, Keigo came back from his music tour and chose to meet up with Masaki. However, Masaki at that time found herself HIV positive. And through here the story continues to unveil itself where Keigo and Masaki&#146;s relationship continue to develop, from sympathy to friendship to love. Throughout this time, Keigo stayed by Masaki&#146;s side, supporting her without truly understanding his underlying feelings for her and in the end, falling in love with her.


A heartwrenching drama of two lovers caught in a tangled web.

Please God Give Me More Time is exactly what these characters needed in the end to finally be with each other. Including horrendous obstacles and fiery battles between two women (over a guy (Takeshi Kaneshiro)) this drama is one of the best. Takeshi Kaneshiro plays the dark and disturbed music composer, Keigo. He does a wonderful job, and he's so cute!

In this movie, Takeshi is 26 where as Kyoko Fukada is 17...wow, a nine years age gap...eh...well that's not so bad.

I'm 17 and now Takeshi's 33. now there's an age gap. hahaha

Anywho, good movie, a must see if you like One liter of Tears!

Hahaha, i got my Aunt addicted to this...so it MUST be good, ne?

53. Grows on You [Rating: 7/10]
It took me a few episodes to actually get into the drama. The first four or five episodes were not gripping at all, but I was surprised to see that this changed. Kaneshiro Takeshi did an excellent job. He was really convincing in his role. Fukada Kyoko was good, although at times it looked as if she were trying too hard. I found her character a little problematic. It was hard to sympathize with her at first, because her character was so stupid and self-serving. But then I realized in later episodes that teenagers really are stupid and self-serving, and that the drama was actually being realistic. It’s rare for me to change my opinion of a drama, but this one succeeded in doing so.

Nakama Yukie did an excellent job, even though her character was extremely annoying. The drama is full of angst, but pulls together in the final episodes. I was a little peeved by the scene of Fukada’s character’s death. I felt it was overly dramatic and overly done. But in all, it was a good drama and worth at least a glance.

masaki (played by fukuda) is incredibly annoying. cries every 10 minutes and is impossibly selfish, clingy, whiny, and inconsiderate of others. yes she's sick and all, but there's only so much sympathy and understanding you can juice out of it. (I do applaude her for her bravery in making that speech, though.) but i'm sure she cries in EVERY episode (and she does this heavy breathing thing when she does that is SO annoying).

plot also doesn't make sense but most drama series don't really anyway so that's tolerable. the only reason i'm able to stand the over the top plot and fukuda's character is because takeshi is in the drama.

the mom is kind of annoying at times (i'm not a very positive person so super cheerful people get on my nerves), but i'm sure a lot of people would be thankful to have a mother as understanding as her.

about the way everyone reacts to someone with aids is pretty sad too. i'd like to think that the japanese have more knowledge and understanding about the disease..

56. A romantic testament to love's enduring miracle [Rating: 9/10]
The lyrical beauty (yes I do mean the soundtrack in this drama) of this touching love story will captivate the heart of almost (if not most) of the viewers and establishes Takeshi Kaneshiro as a gifted actor.

While some may say that the element of "sappy-love-story-where-this-will-never-happen-in-reality" adds flaw to this drama, I beg to differ by remisnising how it's these "so-not-going-to-happen-incident" grace me with hopes of a better tomorrow.

I LOVE this drama so much and will recommend others to get a copy of it.

It is kinda weird for a schoolgirl to buy concert tickets just to prostitute herself. Afterall, there are alot ways to earn money. Nonetheless, i was attracted by the theme songs and the last few episodes are kinda sad. Good casts. Worth watching.

58. The best J-Drama I've ever watched so far! [Rating: 10/10]
I'm not the type to recommend dramas to others but I've changed my mind about that after watching this drama. The most heartbreaking as well as heartwarming,touching and beautiful story ever! The moments with Masaki (Fudaka Kyoko's character) and her family and also with the love of her life,Keigo, are extremely touching. I hardly tear up when watching dramas but this was one that had me reaching for the tissues. Her love for everything and the things that she is willing to sacrifice for are what makes her a truly outstanding lady.

Highly recommended J-drama! <3

Frankly at first, buying and watching this kind of drama is way beyond my mind. But someone told me that its a good story so i add it into my to buy list. So i bought it! My sister going crazy asking me: "What? You bought this drama?"
So i have to watch it all by myself, and each chapter goes better and i'm curious to know what happen next and so on...~ I find this story is rather intriguing and i thought " it's not that bad after all"

It is a tearjerker .. Luckily i watched it alone so there is nothing to control and i cry :P hehe.. It's so sad.. I begin to like the story and at the end i realize that i actually ' LOVE ' this drama ! And it is one of my fav now. ~ hehe.. :P

As much as I hate to admit, this drama is EXTREMELY good. This the only drama that I can stand Fukada Kyoko in. She and Kaneshiro Takeshi do a spectucular job of portraying extremely poignant emotions as a cynical song writer and a high school age girl with HIV in love. The first episode didn't really appeal to me for some reason, but I really became involved with the story as I continued watching. I also thought that Haruhiko Kato did an outstanding job as well. WARNING, due to the nature of the drama, prepare to break out the tissues a LOT.

This drama realli touched my heart! Seriously, in society today celebrities wouldn't give a *beep* if u had AIDS, they'll just be like "watever, u made the choice" but in this drama it'z totally different from the real world! Keneshiro eventually wuz touched on wat Fukada did for him and got to know her! This is one of the saddest dramaz I've seen so far but it is a realli good drama indeed! I'll realli recommend this drama to u! Remember to have tissue beside u ^^

It's hard to build a story around a disease like Aids. But they did it. Both Kaneshiro Takeshi and Fukada Kyoko did a great job. A very story about how a high school girl contacted AIDs through a one night stand. The drama ending was touching. For the ladies, maybe its Kleenex time!

If you want to watch this one. Camp out with a box of tissues!!! I cried and bawled so hard at the end that I didn't want to watch another sad drama in a long while. This was the first time I watched Kyoko Fukuda (sp?). She is a very good young actress. When I was in high school, I really liked Takshi Kaneshiro. I think this drama addresses some issues in society that people don't really want to look at or think that those things cannot happen to them.

One of my favourite drama. I just love Takeshi Kaneshiro. The story line is not so realistic but the main cast has played it very well. Its a very sad story with also a sad ending. Beautiful songs, too. This drama has a similar story line like Beautiful Life. Love conquers all.
18. Comments by majinbads [Rating: 7/10]
Superb, moving performance by Kyoko Fukada. Hail the teen queen of tears. Too bad Takeshi Kaneshiro doesn稚 match Kyoko痴 performance. The director had to hide Kaneshiro痴 eyes behind dark shades for his apparent inability to show much emotion in this tearjerker. Will make you cry (even for guys). A good watch.
19. Comments by amethyst [Rating: 6/10]
Watched because of Kaneshiro Takeshi. Got through it also because of him. Though the storyline is very touching, it is still quite unrealistic, especially towards the end when she got pregnant. But I think the main focus was how both he and Fukada Kyoko grew up.

I love it! I Love it! I Love it! I personally think it's as good as Beautiful Life. I seriously cried in every episode. Masaki is so brave...I really admired her character. I recommend this to everyone who likes a good sappy, inspirational drama. One thing though, I didn't like much was the ending...it just kinda hangs you there...so. But all around great.

Fukada Kyoko was given a role that stood apart from her previous cutesy, candy-sugar-coated characters and shined more than I thought! A serious drama that keeps you watching. It is ashame her later works turned out to be disappointing, especially since her start seemed so promising with a challenging role.

third, the idol actually falls in love wif her.
fourth, that a record *producer* can actually be so good looking.
fifth, fan marries idol.
sixth, she died at her wedding.

My favourite Japanese drama. A great ost, a slightly controversial story and a brilliant cast. Takeshi Kaneshiro's monologue in the beginning is one of my favourite lines in a Japanese drama. That few lines sums up his character before he met Masaki, and gradually you see the thawing of his character as the story progresses. Kyoko Fukada is convincing in her role as an aimless teenager before she knew her time was limited.
Sometimes it does take something like that before you realise what you have been missing and what you are searching for.

Takeshi Kaneshiro’s first ever Japanese drama….!! Very touching & highly recommended… playing his current role as a singer in the drama… keeping low & charming as usual… so touched that he can actually sacrifice for love & how he pull through the whole crisis of losing his loved one…. Fukada Kyoko’s role is quite commendable… determine & gentle… willing to tolerate or sacrifice anything… she has done her best in it… I have to say once again that this drama is VERY VERY VERY touching… is a must watch & a collection u can’t miss in all JDorama….!!!

I would actually give this drama an 8.5/10.

The cast and acting was great. I've seen Fukada Kyoko in other roles such as "SOS" and "Minami-kun" which I very much disliked so it was surprising that I found her acting in this earlier series to be very good. She had great chemistry with Takeshi Kaneshiro, who as always, acted superbly. The emotions that they brought forth with one another when they were together were very heartwarming.

In the beginning, I was a bit turned off by the ridiculousness of her character - prostituting herself to buy tickets and her extreme fanaticism with Keigo Ishikawa. But towards the end, I really warmed up to her character. The ending of this series was pretty good although a litle cliche, while the series as a whole was pretty far-fetched. But it's a good and touching series to watch, some of the scenes in the last episode made me tear up. (But as a whole, the drama wasn't as much of a tearjerker as I initially thought it would be.)

It's a good show, but i still don't like kyoko that much-even though her acting wasn't too bad in this show. However, I did love the music they played.

The more you see, the more you want to see... And I cry at almost every episodes... the last episode is the worst.. i mean, that's when i really really cry so much... that movie is my "sandwich of happiness". Plus, Takeshi is there.. He's great. Ending is good.. the more you follow, the more you want to follow... But Actually.. there are some exaggerated and stupid plots... So yah..

Great drama of both Takeshi and Kyoko. I like takeshi's character, Keigo. A man who is always lonely. Nobody can inside his heart... The story makes me cry and cry ..

too much tears, and the story is too wild to make believe.
a Korean drama-styled jpdrama.. :S
158. Comments by aki_07 [Rating: 6/10]
Typical merry-go-round drama! My friend cried like hell but to me it felt like a broken record. It was touching initially but got on my nerves after a while when incidents kept disrupting the romance just when it was about to bloom. Why so tragic?! The writer got carried away & thre logic out of the window! I watched all the way because of Kaneshiro. Sountrack by Luna Sea was unforgetable
159. Comments by bLaCkNbLuE [Rating: 10/10]
The first few episodes felt like a PSA, but once I got into the characters and mood of this show, it was one of the best I've ever seen.

Touching story with real passionate kisses! A sad story that'll make you cry. One bad point, Masaki is a bit too much cry baby at times. On must watch list.

One of the most touching dramas out there. Love and life in pure state... T_T
162. Comments by yami [Rating: 8/10]
oh the angst. but I have to give 8 because of kyoko. despite the dark and sad theme of the series, there were some really touching, happy and encouraging scenes. Takeshi Kaneshiro is hot!

169. Comments by IkematsuSosuke [Rating: 5/10]
I give this drama a 5..one point for each for the four first episodes that I liked..and one for the subject matter.

I couldn't finish this drama..stopped at episode 9..I couldn't stand Fukada's character..she was just a spoiled b***h..I also didn't feel the connection between her and Keigo..also each episode have the same boring annoying feeling.

This drama was not for me.

Bom dorama. Enrola um pouco, e foca apenas em uma &#250;nica hist&#243;ria. E a fukada &#233; bem atirada pro meu gosto nesse dorama ^^
Mas tem bom final, que chega a emocionar.

This was exceptional (although dated given the progress of medicine) At the time this was filmed AIDs was still incurable. I was tempted to give this a 10 but there was just something lacking. Still can't figure out what was missing but the deficiency was noticeable hence the 9

174. Comments by MissMonika [Rating: 7/10]
A really touching, also at the same time, really sad and depressing drama. The story is good, and the overall theme is versatile. But homegirl, Fukada Kyoko, needs some serious acting lessons. She needs to show more emotion and not use the same tone all the time. But I LOVE Kaneshiro Takeshi. He's so great, and so gorgeous.
175. Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 9/10]
A great drama to show the problems with HIV & AIDS. I must say I was disappointed with Fukada's acting, she really didn't convinced me as a girl who was positive & strong. I didn't really feel connected until I think the last episode with the baby, I started crying like no tomorrow. Overall, I loved it. Kaneshiro did a great job, very very cool his character =) The song "In The Sky" is really good, which made me get into the drama more^^

177. Comments by atleast13 [Rating: ?/10]
i dunno if it's fukada kyoko or is it the plot but this dark love story was a so so. definitely a big plot bec of the whole HIV disease thing but i don't think kyoko was the right girl. or you can look at it as the wrong series for her. i don't know. go watch it and see it for youself.

A good drama, with a gripping storyline. It does however lack that 'extra something' to make it a perfect 10, and the ending is a bit dragged out and far from great. Fukada Kyoko however, who otherwise is not one of the better actresses out there, does a very good job! Overall, a drama I can recommend.

It grows on you. It's a little angsty at times and overly-dramatic, but Kaneshiro Takeshi totally makes up for that.

I didn't even know Yukie was in here until I decided the singer lady looked so fimiliar it was driving me nuts.
