I cried so much watching the later half of the series. This series lived up to its name. I would've cried even more if I didn't care about how terribly puffy my eyes would get the next day. Excellent story. I thought that there would be some bits of romance compared to the movie but there's more friendship than romance. I love it. Great casts. My favourites would be the ones who played Aya's parents. I cried watching every heartbroken moments from them. I love the music. The melody and lyrics fit the story well. I don't know if I would watch it again without any tears. The story really gets to me that I can't explain how much I enjoy it. It shows us the value of family, friendship and life. It taught me a lesson of the value of my life too. It's sad that the real Aya and other people with the same disease, or other incurable diseases, had to go through all this in their lives. I don't know how to end this review lol but hoping there's not spoiler in it. Fully recommend anyone to watch this.
