I just watched 1 Litre of Tears, a Japanese drama. Here is the summary for it: 15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, lately, strange things have been happening to Aya. She has been falling down often and has been walking funny. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he tells Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. However it does not affect the mind. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

It was the saddest freaking drama I have ever seen! The real kicker is that it is based on a real story. Aya was told to keep a diary, so she did and it eventually got published and millions of people have bought the publication, and it continues to give people hope.

It is such a sad, but still very inspiring drama that I would recommend to everyone.
