Chase your dreams while you can!

Erika Sawajiri is getting too professional in acting dying roles. From her 1 litre of tears experience, i guess she had perfected the emotional scene. The only difference between 1 litre of tears and this is....one seek to live while the other seek for her dreams, her ambition of being a singer. Both dramas motivates ppl...but somehow this drama seems a bit of lacking. Kinda a fantasy that you know, won't happen in real life. Not the sickness but her luck meeting an understanding b.f and a music producer willingly to release her album. Nonetheless, the core part of the drama is the music. 2 excellent piece of songs sang by Erika Sawajiri. Not fully polish but great to listen.
Worth your time watching!

Erika Sawajiri seems like perfecting her acting skills for those dying-from-illness roles. She is darn good in this drama.
But then again...if to choose....i prefer 1 litre of tears. Simply bcoz..the buildup and sadness of this drama is toward the end....
but
1 litre of tears start to get very emo from episode 3 onwards. Literally can cry every episode after that.
Despite that...this dorama still worth your time watching. Great casts too!
and of coz......The Nice Songs.
MUST DOWNLOAD!!!
