This drama is probably one of the most under-rated ones amongst Japanese fare. A very touching story of a terminally ill but spirited young girl who rediscovers what life is all about. People doubting Mao chan's acting prowess should watch this and shut up. She has single-handedly carried the burden of the story in this drama. The relationship between the brother-sister duo is portrayed with sensitivity, ditto with the love story. The side characters like Banba san or any of the brother's friends or the doctors have given fitting support to the leads. Must watch if you like emotional, slightly slow-paced dramas.

Lovely story of a immature young adult who has closed herself off to people due to her life threatening illness. Her character grows as she finds that love and relationships with people are the most important in life. Mao from Hana Yori Dongo did a really great portrayal as the lead. I hardly recognized her from HYD. The two characters are so different. The relationship between Mio and her brother was sweet. I liked the romance she got to have with the doctor. She finally gets her first real kiss! I was unsure about the ending for a bit.

This is a drama that really is hard to rate. Why? Simply because I was never crazy about the lead female, Mio. She drove me crazy. Her brother, Kazu, was wishy-washy but if if look at the fact that they portrayed those characters as they should have, they were great. I loved the little Doctor You had to suspend belief that someone so young could be a heart surgeon but then I've pretty much have gotten used to that in JDramas that I've watched. The story was nicely done in showing a young woman with an illness wanting to see her brother for possibly the last time. As far as the end, still contemplating that. But one thing has bothered me. Why was this the first time in 10 years that she had seen her brother?

Um achado

Uma comédia dramática que flerta com o slice of life da forma mais tocante possível. Acompanhar uma menina redescobrindo o amor pela vida encheu meu coração de felicidade, e ver o irmão dela se tornando um homem responsável por causa dela foi a cereja do bolo.

É um drama lindo, cheio de evolução, com personagens vivendo, aprendendo e reaprendendo a viver. Que experiência sensível e emocionante.

Se não fosse por algumas piadinhas incestuosas totalmente fora de tom e por certas cenas em que o humor passava um pouco do limite, eu facilmente teria favoritado. Ainda assim, é um drama muito bonito sobre dois irmãos cuidando um do outro.

Ela, aos 20 anos, enfrenta uma doença grave e tem uma cirurgia de alto risco marcada para dali a dois meses. Decide, então, passar esse tempo com o irmão mais velho, com quem não tinha contato há dez anos. Ela não se importava com nada, não tinha apego a nada e acreditava que ser cruel com as pessoas era a única forma de ser lembrada. Ele, aos 30, era um homem perdido, irresponsável, imaturo, vivendo no piloto automático e sem lutar pelos próprios sonhos.

A aproximação dos dois é desenvolvida com tanta delicadeza que se torna impossível não se envolver. Aos poucos, vão criando laços, se redescobrindo e transformando um ao outro. Ele aprende a ser responsável, a cuidar dela e de si mesmo. Ela tem experiências que jamais imaginou por causa da doença, faz amigos e até se apaixona.

O drama é lindo, tocante e sensível. A evolução dos personagens é, sem dúvida, o seu maior trunfo. Que achado!

¡La definición de ternura no es suficiente! Aunque parezca extraño, el dorama tuvo la excelente decisión de enfocar el amor fraternal antes que el de la pareja, transformándolo en una historia única que hace valorar más a tu propia familia.

Los actores de verdad supieron jugársela al tratar con una trama sencilla y a la vez delicada. La música recuerdo haberme sentido agradada por escuchar el opening cada vez que iniciaba un episodio, y el romance fue muy satisfactorio ^w^, con un excelente sabor de boca.

¿Qué le cambiaría?... Nada, es perfecta en su completa sencillez, sumando todos los ingredientes con exactitud: amor, ternura, drama, fraternidad, alegría y amistad.
