They are both amazing stories about the lead not giving in to their illness.
1 Litre is a true story while A Millionaire's First love is not.
They are both uplifting, tear jerking and great movies to watch.
The only difference is that A Millionaire's first love has romance, while 1 Litre only hints at romance (but not the main theme).

A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

Gosh my tears seems keep flowing when I watched this drama. Really a sad touching love story & how FL fight her disease with ML support beside her & people who love FL. Fujiki Naohito potrayed as a doctor here soooo charming. I like this drama a lot & really a must watch worth watching drama. Based in a true story.

Both have in common the strength to overcome, to overcome every obstacle even knowing that their earth days are numbered, are films that teach us to live in a better way.
