<3 1LOT

This drama was so sad but beautiful! I love the music too. and of course.. Ryo.

Does anyone know where I could watch the MOVIE ver.??


I totally fell in love with this drama!
I was so inspired that I bought two of her books that I can't even read!
well.. I'm learning Japanese right now.. but it's not something I could just read for fun...

ANyhow, I was so inspired that I kind of looked into the actors and I was so disappointed after finding out how RUDE erika is!!
I have to admit.. she is one TALENTED actress, props for that. But DANG! jsut from what I saw, she has some issue with media or something..
watching those bitchy.rude video clips of her.. I was so shocked she could pull such act!

Still inspired, but a bit disappointed i guess ;;
Weird, but I still like Erika.. only in the drama~ haha

The movie was so sad & touching.

It moved me a lot and made me think...

best drama ever.. my sister that had watching sad drama also like it.. hahaha...

www.mysoju.com has it

i prefer the drama series rather then the movie one.

the movie one is like.. very fast!
from this scene, then it zooms to the next.
oh wells, i don't fancy the movie =/

but i absolutely like this drama a lot! <3
makes me cry a lot, say i'm a sadist, i dont mind XD
and after watching this, it made me wanna watch more sad dramas ><
weird me? haha

sawajiri erika & nishikido ryo ROCKS! <33

omg this is the best and the most saddest drama i watched
i hecca cried in this show very good

i havent watched it yet!
but i've heard heaps about it~~ haha

I watched this drama like 3 times now, and every time I still cry buckets of tears - even in the special (which in my option was pretty pointless since the majority was just a recap of the drama itself....but whatever lol).

I really want to read the book that the original Aya wrote. I hope somewhere down the line they translate it.

this is honestly one of the saddest dramas ever made. well mainly because it's based on a true story. which makes it even more emotional for me. nonetheless i loved it even though i looked like this red poofy thing after watching the whole drama, LOL.

I like it. It's so sad though. A incurable disease is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. No matter how hard they struggle to survive, in the end they still die.

this is definitely one of the best dramas ever.
its so touching, emotional and sad. i did a rerun of it just a couple of days ago.
it still gets me crying buckets.

This drama make me drop 1 litre of tears too T___T Bouh very so sadd ='(

this drama was the first japanese drama i've ever watched.
it was so sad and to think that it really happened.
wowzers.
the actors and actresses did so well.
i cried so much and the song by K!!! dang we're only human.

This was one of the most touching dramas I've ever watched. I pretty much cried during each episode! Even the SP was really sad. And I'm planning to watch it again because it was so well-made.

Exactly.. how sad is this drama? Scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest ranking. lols
I'm afraid that when I finish it, I'm going to be blowing my nose every 2 seconds. TT-TT haha

^I'd say 10. After I finished watching it last summer, I was depressed for a day.
It makes you think what your purpose of life really is and it makes you appreciate what you
have now.

^ D8
lols Thanks. I think I'll watch it during.. Spring Break... Maybe.. >_>
I'm a big crybaby so.. I'll probably be depressed for like.. two weeks haha
Thanks again

I just finished watching this a few days ago. It's definitely a stunning, sad drama. Asou should have married Aya before..the end. >_<

one litre of tears was a great drama, but such a sad ending.

we watched it in our japanese class and everyone cried at the end, even our sensei.

I cried till i couldnt cry anymore. There are no words to express how beautiful and inspiring this drama was. However, it was a bit frustrating for me as a future occupational therapist because of the things that I would have done for her to help her with her everyday living. Recently, with all the stress I've been dealing with in OT school, I ask myself every now and then why I still wanted to do OT and after watching this, I think I have finally found my reason. After juggling 8 classes and fieldwork, after the all-nighters and trying to meet the demands of every professor, after all my sacrafices and ongoing efforts, after putting up with all this pressure from graduate school, I know it will be worth it in end because in the end, it is all about the patients and how GOOD it will feel to make a difference in their lives.

Thank you Aya for helping me see my profession in a new light. :]

I watched this!
My room mate and I had a One Liter of Tears Marathon...
We watched from Ep3 until the Final Ep... STRAIGHT!

God. We couldn't stop crying..
Actually we were not crying anymore, we were practically bawling... We couldn't breathe! LOL

Just when we thought that we do not have enough tears to cry our hearts out anymore, another dramatic scene will be shown and there we were... bawling again...

Ryo is <3. ^^

I'm watching this right now! Well, not at this moment, but I'm watching it. Haha. My friend and I started it from ep1-8 yesterday.
Ryo's sexy, haha. I love Rika! She's so adorable. I wish she was my little sister. T_T'
I found it funny how huge the doggy grew. I was like @_@"

It's so sad how this was based on a true story. It's so ):
But so far, I haven't cried yet =X I don't know I'm only on ep9 so we'll see. Haha.

i love this...
eventhough it made me cry... a lot...
hehehe...
finished it a few weeks back...its really good...
my family thought i was loosing my mind because i was crying about something from another language...

lol ryo is sooooo sexy and rika is definitely cute and sweet too.
alot of time passed in between so that's why the dog grew alot ^^
they might not have always mentioned it in the drama tho.

I remember when I was watching this drama, I only can handle to watch 1 ep/1day. It's too sad, I feel so sorry for Aya, for her family, friends and Asu ... but I admire Aya's willingness, she's strong even though she has a uncured disease

Awws, I think afterwards every1 took another look on life. Treasuring every little thing more. ^^;

I didn't cry a litre of tear for this drama.. I cried a BUCKET.
dangg.. it's so sad.. i feel for her.



TO LIVE ON....

i want to watch this drama...i already watched the movie....i can't find a batch file of all the eps. if someone can post a link or pm me, that'll be great

i watched this recently, and i have to say,
this series was one of the best jdramas ever made.
i absolutely loved it because of all the motivation and courage that aya had.
and yes, i bawled like everyone else did. TTT.TTT

This is the series i bawled like there's no tmr.
especially even if one episode is not really sad,the ending song showing all the real images and clips of the real Aya,i always cry.Too heartbreaking for me to see the real her in those awful conditions.
I can never forget her last pic,which she holds up her fist and seems to tell us "Hwaiting!".woah..even thinking of that,i feel like tearing alr..

anybody knows if there's an english version of her diaries out??i want to buy and read her feelings.

I watched this last year, I think around october.
I didn;t cry as much as I expected but I did get teary-eyed a few times.
After I watched it, I was like, I should really love my life, then I got over it
and now I'm back to not caring again.

i love this drama.
i regret watching it now when i could have watched it ages ago.
i never thought it would turn out into one of the most beautiful drama I've ever seen.
a must-watch inspiring drama that will definitely change the way you see other things.
it made me appreciate small things. it made me appreciate being alive.
LIVE ON FOREVER!

I'm wtaching this right now. I'm still on ep.6 though.
I'm liking it but God, it's so sad

i love this drama!!!
it took me a while to recover after watching this drama.
i kept on thinking about different things after watching this.
so touching. so inspiring. and it may be even life changing!
it's so sad but you will definitely learn a lot of things in life.
i think everyone should watch this drama
and they should learn from it.

have fun! cry! learn!

xoxo,
princessa

There's no doubt that this series is very high in emotion but I dunno why I didn't really like it. Maybe cause it's so overdramatic or overrated now. I should probably watch it again to really REALLY get a grip on everything. As far as first dramas go, this is really good.

When I watched this drama I was just curious. I'm not known for watching melodramas because my tearducts would not easily stop once I started. But after watching I was hooked! Aya was so strong and Asou slowly fell in love to the point where he had a hard time moving on when Aya died! The fact made me cry in the SP!

good drama =)
pretty sad... i cried abit T.T
i though tha ending was odd

I really liked this drama, to be honest. It was really touching. Not only that, but I love the chemistry between Ako and their father. (:

Also, does anyone actually know if Aya Kito's diary was translated to English or not?

There are some fans who started translating it in english. Here are the web sites:
http://www.xanga.com/OneLitre - from chapter one, very understandable translation.
http://diaryofaya.blogspot.com/ - from chapter three, currently this translation is a few chapters ahead. Not so well translated, but you can still understand what Aya was trying to say.
P.S. By the way, does anyone know where I can download the movie "1 litre of tears"? The cast is different, but I've read that it's very realistic and much closer to the real story, therefore I really want to see it.

^ you can fine the movie in mysoju

one of the best drama i've seen so far!
fell in love with ryo!!!
hahaha!

This is honestly the best drama I've seen based on a true story.
In my opinion, this beats Titanic and Hellen Keller by a mile.
I've never cried over any TV series or a movie so much in my life.
And it was the little things that I could relate to that made this drama very unique.
Anyway, I would recommend eveyone to watch it

i love this drama! it's quite sad, but it's a good story.

I cried when I watched this drama... huhuhu.. one of the best drama

it was totally late when i discovered one litre of tears through my friend. i regretted skipping over this drama, jeez, i wanted to hit my head. LOL. one litre is the first show i've watched where in i had to cry in every freaking chapter. the scenes were sadly realistic, plus the cast's acting was superb. the music adds to the heart-werenching-ness of it all. to find out that such disease actually exists kind of pulled me back to reality.

nishikido ryo.. man, he should marry me. LOL. just because. xD

Yeah I need to buy this drama! I keep telling everyone in my family to watch it but no one wants to cause its sad.

But I keep telling them that even though its sad...its a beautiful kind of sad.

Its so inspiring and touched my heart and soul like no other drama has.

I'm just scared of buying it and it having bad subtitles.

Everyone should watch this drama and experience it for themselves...they won't regret it!!!!!

i just finished this drama yesterday. it's SO SAD.... seeing her struggle to walk, write, then talk makes my heart bleed. i feel her family's pain. when i listen to the theme song, i would think about how aya cries. i cried SO many times watching this drama. my eyes were so sore. =/

it's a touching drama to watch!

This is truly THE saddest drama I have ever watched...and it being based on a true story is even more heart-breaking.

I went through 2 boxes of tissues when I watched this ><

I bought it off ebay & (the seller had screencaps of the drama + the HQ subs) & it's definitely one of my favorite dramas to watch. Even though it makes me cry, it makes me so much more appreciative of my life.
