If you were him, what would you want to see last?

Shiki Tomokawa is a new pediatrician who is enjoying her life. She falls in love with Shunsuke, a cameraman, who is destined to lose his eyesight in a couple of months. How will Shiki react when she finds out Shunsuke's destiny?

One of my fav dramas for years

My first time watching Kanno Miho and Nao Fujiki. Really, they gave a wonderful performance. Every time I saw Shiki crying, I literally cried with her. The ending wasn't too painful. To be honest, I think it was a beautiful and touching ending. Plus, it had awesome theme and background music that really touched my heart.

True love

The story tells us what love is..not just about lover, but also about family, friendship, etc.. Sweet acting by kanno miho but low chemistry with nao.

Nothing special

Ugh. After hearing all the rave reviews, I was expecting a masterpiece.

I guess my expectations were too high?

I found Itoshi Kimie to be completely underwhelming. We've seen these characters before. We've seen this romantic set-up before. What annoyed me the most, overall, is that we have seen these plot points before. Rather than being touched by the inspiring dialogue, I found myself rolling my eyes at the unoriginality. Every aspect of this drama felt very contrived and forced. It was hard for me to make any emotional connection with these characters because they never felt like real human beings. It felt like they were just going through the motions, wherever the screenwriter would take them. As another poster said, you could have replaced his disease with any other life threatening one and you would have gotten the same result. And thatfsc.disappointing.
