A love story about a dying youth..What do you think of it?

Even though my knowledge of Japanese is near zero, I attempted to watch the first episode raw anyway, because the title appeals to me, and the preview looks good. My impression after the first episode is good, I actually really like it, even when I didn't get the whole story. The drama gets sad just after the first few minutes into the drama. The main girl acts really well, and it's also a bonus that she's really cute. This first episode did well as drawing the viewers into it. I hope the next ep will be just as engaging.

Btw, I heard that PBFansub is going to sub it, so in the future, I might be able to discuss this drama with more in-depth thoughts than right now. Atm, I'm just going with my feelings, how much I like it, since I still don't grasp much of the events that occur in the drama.

Of course I voted for Life Altering, hahaha... I'm so biased, but I love this drama, I love it I love it I love it. Even in the first episode, I cried so much. And then bam, the ending song with the photos of the real girl just made it even more depressing. Also, the song is so sad as well.. ahhh *wah wah wah* I'm a sucker for these kinds of dramas.. plus, the girl is very adorable too, (though might need some fixing on the teeth rofl) and what can I say about the guy.............. *sighs*

Epi 1 is pretty good. The ending credits with photos of the real-life gal which this drama was based on captured my attention.

My only rant is probably the inclusion of the frictional character (Ryo's role). I do understand it's a special request of her mum since one of her deepest regrets was that her daughter was unable to experience a relationship in her short life.

Having a family member suddenly falling sick really tests family bonds. Just how xiaryx introduced this as a love story in the very first post, there is a danger of an over-empathsis on the fictional love story which would shift the audience's attention on the details really worth exploring. We caught a glimpse of a very good scene in next epi's preview..... how the dad was trying to come to terms with it.... his first response was denial and taking it out on the mum. What happened to the family was very real and hopefully we can all learn something from their story. From the some of the making-of previews i've viewed, her love interest (Ryo) will be one of her main source of strength during her struggles. The character is only 15, somehow the whole idea of a 15yr old boy doing that for a girl he's just met is quite hard for me to come to terms with.

At first i didn't know about this drama, i just thought the title was pretty sad so decided to have a go with it. And i end up liking this drama.
Was this a real life story? I never knew that ...
I think the girl is cute ...

I loved episode 1!! Episode 2 didn't seem to be as good though. The previews for ep 3 look really good though, so I will definitely stick around. I can't wait for the real drama to start! ^^

And of course there's Endo. I hope that his role will get bigger, he's the whole reason that I started watching this drama!

Hasn't the girl's diary been published as well?
At least I think I saw something along the lines of this story at Kinokuniya a couple months ago and thought about buying it, but I don't really remember... ^_^;

Hidden:

I am not really into sad drama but I am hooked after watching the first episode. This drama is definitely a Tear-Jerker. Crying

So this is Sekaichuu with a true story. After seeing episode 1 you'll know that you will be needing a lot of tissues in the later episodes. My guess this will be better and have a stronger effect than Sekaichuu cause it's based from a true story.
