1 Litre no Namida (1 Litre of Tears) is a medical drama based on a true story.
There must be an amazing reason why this drama from 20 years ago can occupy the MDL Top 100 Japanese Drama list. Maybe it is the sense of reality that this medical drama manages to pull off. Unlike other medical dramas, the focus here is solely on the FL patient rather than the doctors.
There's only a brief mention of why ML is so depressed with life, and we also are not distracted by character development for the supporting cast.
The title of this drama clearly tells us that this is a tearjerker, so get your tissues ready, especially starting in the middle episodes.
The love from the whole family was so strong that even the parents hid their heartache with smiles. At first, FL's sister was unhappy with her parents' preference for FL, but she changed her attitude after learning about FL's illness.
I can relate to this drama because my late wife first had breast cancer and then bone cancer. She asked why she was punished twice? All I could do was comfort her.
Tip: The final scene is very touching and unexpected, you need to see this drama!
