Daisuki!!

It's taken me a few years to gain the courage I knew I needed to watch this show. I wasn't sure I had it in me to watch something so emotionally charged. I'm glad I finally bit the bullet and watched it.

After the first few episodes, and after crying through each one, I began to worry that this drama would continue to be a sobfest, but through cheap tricks the directors use to make their audience cry. It did continue to be a sobfest, but with a turn towards depth. I'm so glad the drama morphed into being more about the family and their connection with Yuzu, as opposed to a disabled person constantly being degraded by society.

Although there were some inconsistencies and loose ends, Karina's portrayal of Yuzu was so heartwarming that these flaws do not matter. She was wonderful. Kishimoto Kayoko was endearing, and even ol' Hiraoka Yuta, who has annoyed me since the movie Nana, has gotten into my good graces.

I may never watch this drama again, because I'm not sure I have the tears left, but it was beautiful while it lasted. I highly recommend it.

touching story about how difficult a mother who has "mentally disease" daughter and how difficult a mother who has "mentally disease" to raise her child..

Woah. My first drama series that I watched was 1 Litre of Tears, and that was all I could say. There were times when I laughed and at least five minutes worth the tears in every episode. I rewatched it again and again, and found myself loving the plot more; simply a young girl struggling to live.
