Masaki is the most whiny, idiotic, obnoxious main character ever, which pretty much ruined this drama for me. The plot didn't make much sense either. I watched the whole thing but I really don't know why...

This drama made me cry . And I rarely cry. Takeshi Kaneshiro was amazing in it . And the theme song!! Incredible. They don't make J-dramas like they did nowadays.

Overall, it was a good dorama. The first episode was PERFECT but in the following chapters i felt it was just too slow and their relationship was abit diluted.

This was a good melodrama about real life. I enjoyed the lead actress in this one. Seemed like she really understood her character and role well.

considering the fact I don't really like Kyoko Fukuda, yes she was good in Kamikaze Girls but every other role I had seen her in until I watched this was basically the same as her role in Kamikaze Girls, but I now have new respect for her. Also poor Isamu he stuck with her the whole time and never got her love. And let me just say ythis in closing Worst. Wedding. Ever.

Very sad but a great drama. Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake tackles some very sensitive and controversial issues such as AIDs and Prostitution. Everything about this drama is great from the sad and intense drama, to the acting, the music, and the strong character development that all the characters receive. Fukada Kyoko does a really good job with her character.

The lead actress Fukada only has two expressions. Either she is crying which is practically every other scene or pissy. The plot if it exist is minimal it centers on Fukada who contracts aids and how its everybody else's fault. Terrible actress can't act her way out of a paper bag. On the other hand the Kaneshiro's acting is good he manages to save the drama somehow.

i don't know about this drama... it's like boring and slow.
I dropped the drama the second that girl did the HANDSTANd. It was pretty hard to watch even to that point cause like I said it's slow and boring.
I was like ho. I don't like that characters nor the actress|?

the series reminds me of "a walk to remember".....so sad....
kaneshiro and fukada make a great pair, and i like nakama yukie's rendition here of a jealous friend.

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

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.

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.

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..
rendy_pranadithya · 25 Nov 2006
a great story which is telling about the struggle of young-girl(kyoko fukada) to fight against her disease though she died eventually.. but the story is very touching.. worth while to be watched

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. Itfs 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 Fukadafs characterfs death. I felt it was overly dramatic and overly done. But in all, it was a good drama and worth at least a glance.

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 naïve 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’s relationship continue to develop, from sympathy to friendship to love. Throughout this time, Keigo stayed by Masaki’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?

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.
