Tearjerker start slows to the ending

8 / 10

morical · 2009

After the first 2 episodes I'd cried my ass off and I really thought this was finally going to be the one competing against Ichi Ritoru no Namida in best ever -category.

But no... After those episodes (watch them, they are really good! Especially if you're into tearjerkers like me) things start to slow down and story begins to repeat itself.

Even though the rest of the story is still compelling, touching and almost all acting is also good, it still left you with a feeling like "what?". They show the most touching and important part of the storyline right at the beginning and afterward everything feels a little lame. That's 'cause all the time you're waiting for more massive things to happen and it just won't. You've already seen the punchline of this series.

This one was failed by the wrong rhythm and ordering of the story. It's really a shame because the beginning was really, really good.

If you like tearjerkers, watch this to the end. Story is still good and touching. Hopefully you won't feel the same disappointment I did. If you don't, I think you'll give this one at least 9 :) For me it ruined the series though...

super touching

This is one of those dramas that I found really inspiring. I cried so much while watching this drama. I really liked how they showed all the kids in the hospital helping and supporting each other all the time. They were so close, like a family. Very touching. All the children, especially Yuka-chan did amazing jobs at portraying their characters.

Good drama

I was so amazed when I saw this drama, it was so sad at times, and it truley can be an inspirational series. It had little things that gave true meaning to the video. I would defentiley buy this video if I can find it.
