[Rating - JMovie] 1 Litre of Tears

I loved the drama version of this. It was one of the very first Jdoramas I watched that had quite an impact on me. So I can't help but compare the two. They were executed differently, actually there were some important stuff that the movie missed to show. But I don't really know what really transpired so I can't say which one was closer to the real thing. If I had to believe in one, I'd like to believe the drama cuz it includes a detailed account of Aya's love life. I think that, and a good scoring, is the drama's advantage over the movie.

- For those who'd like to watch this movie, I think it'd be better to watch the drama instead. The drama's a whole lot better cuz it runs longer so the scenes develop slower, making the story feel more complete. The movie showed the whole story but it still feels incomplete. And I loved the soundtrack of the drama.

Total Rating: 3.3/5
