More dramas that deal with illnesses, in general:
- It's okay, that's love (Korean) - OCD + Tourette syndrome + 1 more *won't spoil*
- Boku no ita jikan (Japanese) - ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease)
- Mou Ichido Kimi ni, Propose (Japanese) - amnesia
Good Life ~Arigatou, Papa. Sayonara~ (Japanese) - leukemia
- The Master's Sun (Korean) - Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Nodame Cantabile (Japanese) - PTSD
Also a lot of Korean drama's main male characters often suffer from some sort of phobia - social phobia (Me too, flower), claustrophobia (Secret garden), nyctophobia / fear of darkness (You're beautiful) and so on.
That's one of the main things I like about Asian drama - the characters have dimension - they may appear happy and perfect at first but they have their own fears they are trying to hide from society and those flaws are one of the reason I can't stop watching Asian drama. Also they are not afraid to show their emotions - like men crying *that's a very rare thing (a male crying) in western movies in general. Ahh, me and my drama addiction... -sigh-
Just watched it subbed online. I have to say that this will always stay one of my all-time-favourite Japanese movies in the Romance genre. Such a cute couple~! x33

I can't believe I actually found someone else who likes this song as much as I do -hugs the writer of the article-
P.S. Bridal Mask OST's also great x3
A beautifully done movie and a real tear-jerker. I can't recall the last time I cried so much during a movie. It's worth it! You won't regret watching it! :)
for those who watched the first ep, do you think it's good ?
I loved it. Such a fresh start for a drama. And despite their age difference, I can actually see the chemistry between those two. Also Soo Young's character is so down-to-earth. Lovely! :)
*was curious about the Korean remake...not anymore*
The production company always goes for pretty faces to appeal to the fans, instead of actor's talent -siigh-
Noo the main girl rejected the offer ;_; I wonder who will play the main lead then :/ nothing against IU but I…
Actually she's not good as an actress, although she's getting better with each new project. When it comes to singing I'm a big fan of hers but acting-wise she still has a lot to learn :)
