The story is, of course, very touching, but the dialogue and acting are stiff and theatrical at times (especially the doctor) and the film is very jumpy, the editing is not smooth at all, it goes from scene to scene sometimes without a proper transition, sometimes it felt like I was watching a storyboard: scene A, now scene B, now scene C, etc., which I think it's mostly the low budget's fault.

I appreciate how the film didn't include a romantic storyline, because that's the one thing about the drama I was never a big fan of, but if you have to choose between the drama and the film, I definitely think the drama is the better option. It flashes out Aya's life more properly, her goals, friendships and family, while the film, because of its short runtime, focus more on the progression of her illness, ignoring her life prior to the diagnosis.
