Yamashita Tomohisa is THE best part of this drama. He had me sobbing at intervals and all out bawling at the end. This is a MUST SEE; I cannot stress this enough. The story is really interesting and the characters who are friends to 'Algernon' are wonderful to him. The acting is wonderful and the actors all make their characters so believable you become very invested - especially in Algernon; you root for him so much. The cast really give their roles their all; especially the always great Tomohisa and Masataka. All in all this is a really good drama; I didn't really expect much - but my stars, was I so VERY wrong. WATCH THIS, seriously, you won't regret it.
