This is the highest rating I've given for any drama or movie I've seen. It is almost too rude to say how great a job Sawajiri Erika did in acting in this heartbreaking, heartwrenching, beautiful, touching drama. It really opens your eyes as to the poor families and victims of this most terrible and cruel disease. Have your box of tissues ready because in every single episode, it really breaks your heart to see the emotional pain alone that she goes through. As much as it was a very sad story, there was a balance of comedy in it to put a smile on your face at times from her father. The music was very well done, I don't think they could have done better than what they did in this drama. I really needed to watch something to help soften my heart and this drama did just the trick to soften a bitter and jaded heart. I honestly believe this drama would soften the most cold hearted, hard heart out there. It was a real masterpiece of a drama, if I could give a higher than 10 rating, it would get it astoundingly. A must watch for sure...
