Fan reviews: Ichi Ritoru no Namida

varuna82 · 23 Jun 2007

This is the first jdorama I ever watched. It's simply one of the best. The story is very sad and story line is well written to touch people's hearts.

This isn't a dorama.
I assume that most people that have seen this know that it goes far beyond the feeling a usual dorama gives. I truely loved the way Nishikido Ryou and Sawajira Erika played in there. A beautiful hymn to humanity.
I believe the film is not a shame to the book indeed...

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. And what makes it sadder is that it's based on a true story. The ending was good too for not making it too dramatic. I think that's the only episode that I didn't cry.

IloveTHISdrama. I liked the characters and the whole story. This drama's worth watching. I'm surprised it's not number 1. Although I didnt cry at every episode. Once I got to episode 8 I cried buckets until I finished the series. Makes you apperciate the little things in life.

I was really touched when seeing this drama. What a poor girl. This helps me know much about unhappy people around me so that I know how so much happy I am.

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.

"over there, you won't cry anymore right?"

this is one drama which totally caught my attention. the plot is fantasic and it totally draws u into the life of aya which is played by erika sawajiri. furthermore, erika's acting is superb, she brings out all emotions and show that being alive is such a great thing. After watching this drama, i really can't help but feel good about life and how fortunate i am to be born healthy. this drama is great and is a tear machine drama. the life of aya is really inspirational and the show really brings out the family's care and concern towards aya. There is simply so much warm and care from family and friends towards aya. ONE WORD... AWESOME

A very beatiful yet very sad drama that will move you to tears.

Honestly, people of all ages should watch this at least once in their life time. For me personally, I think, no, I know I'll watch this again when I think everything in my life is turned upside down and need some hope in my so-called-life. Although many people have already mentioned this, but Aya has really touched a lot of people even after her passing, whether healthy or sick, and inspired them in such a way that not many can do. After watching the drama, which I don't know why I took so long to do so, but I had an epiphany about my life so far and how I want to change it. I think the majority who watches this well written drama will have an epiphany and think in retrospect how they can really start living life if they haven't done so already. Honestly, I don't know why this drama isn't number 1 because I watched Summer Snow, Gokusen, and GTO and this one out beats all of them hands down! I can't remember the last drama show that made such an emotional impact in me. Needless to say I cried in so many scenes in this drama.

1 Litre of Tears is a well-casted, wonderfully acted, and a tearjerker of a drama. From the beginning unil the very end, the moments of sadness and pain fill you. Erika Sawijiri stands out as the lead character, giving us a reason to be thankful for life.

kenzou_tenma · 18 Feb 2007

The best drama... no the best series in the world forever... and ever... and ever... Before I didn't understand how people could rate something as "life-altering", but now I know. The guys who did this may not be geniuses with IQ over 200, but they are sentimental geniuses. And, if Kito Aya is well protrayed in this series, she should have been such a sweet person...

Jhvx · 13 Feb 2007

Best dorama I've ever watched!!! If I could I would rate it 20/10 lol It's very touching and sad!!! It makes u think about life and the plot is so cool, you'll never get bored of it!!! Moreover the cast was great, Erika Sawajiri played very well the role of Aya-san , her tears for example are very real!!!

I was crying like crazy until my nose blocked and I needed to stop a few minutes.. My vision was blurred with tears..
Really, really the saddest drama ever..
background songs play a major role to make you cry..
Asou-kun was very good at crying and that made you wanna cry along..
Watch it.. It is a life-altering drama..it teaches you a lot about life.. On how one should appreciate life..
A drama which is worth your time..
I've watch it many times already, and I still cried at certain scenes.. T.T

I'am really happy to see that this drama is beginning to gain the recognition that it deserved i hope it obtained more votes in the future and become the top 1 drama of all time.

ThyGriever · 8 Jan 2007

I just finished watching the series and the drama was wayyy better than i had expected. It was very moving at many moments and the last episode had me crying (and im a guy!). I think this is the saddest drama I've ever watched but also one of the most uplifting. Also the relationships between family and friends are very well developed. The acting was perfect and it being based on a true story gives you more perspective on life. I would recommend anyone to watch this because it is THAT good~

Beachcomber · 2 Jan 2007

this drama was optimistic and considerately light-hearted until it took a change toward despair and hopelessness in the last 2 epsiodes. That's when the harsh reality finally sank in for the lead character and everyone connected. Thus it became heart-wrenching painful to watch as the show finally flow toward it's eventual unavoidable end.

a very meaningful show who will leave you with plenty of life provoking lingering thoughts when it all ended.

dawnie · 2 Jan 2007

this is the best drama for me, and i hope everyone else too

Brilliant.Just brilliant.A true masterpiece.The song "Remioromen" by Konayuki hits well with the scenes when Erika Sawajiri and Nishikido Ryou are together.And to think that this is a real life event...it just "forces" viewers to watch it again and again and again.The willpower of Ikuechi Aya to recover of her illness can even make men shed some tears...I'll never forget this showfor eternity.
