1 Litre No Namida spinoff?
It is very natural to compare this to 1 Litre No Namida same illness, young person , hiding of illness, umbrella scenes and hey there is even a Shiba among the cast. However those years between 15 and 22 as well as years of research between the 1980s and 2010s do make a whole world of difference in setting the tone as well as the opportunities and obstacles these two faced making this just like the title suggests a little bit less about tears and more about time, In a way the drama is a bit like a spin off there with a bunch of answers for the what ifs for Aya... But do not worry there are plenty of emotional scenes there to make you (me) cry.
What I love about this drama is (most of) the friendships, the broken families, the starting point being an utter mess with or without an outspoken disability and the whole journey the characters in this drama take in to figuring out how and with who they want to spend their lives. I do like how they show the importance of finding goals as well as adapting to change, both within or without the workforce, but was bothered by the inspirational mumbo jumbo that followed even if it was not as bad as many other inspirational mumbo jumbo dramas this would have become a solid 10 if they could just have avoided it.
The drama does show a good range of emotions in dealing with a progressive illness that is taking away ability after ability and I would say it does it really well, especially the fears that come with living and coping with this type of situation.... Not knowing what is more scary living or dying, pretty deep and very thought provoking.
I do love how this drama shows the value of life, sensation, memories, and the way we affect the people around us. But what got to me the most was just how human (and gorgeous) the male lead is with or without illness, he is portrayed as a competent human being worthy of more love than he dares wish for, no matter how many or few hours his life has.
In numbers:
Bingabilaty: 10
Tearjerker: 9
Frustration: 9
Lovable characters:9
Punchable characters: 9
All in all definitely a very good drama worth watching, and even if they work great individually I would recommend watching this one after 1 Litre No Namida, so if you have not watch 1 Litres yet start there before you move on to this one
