Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ] Beautiful indeed...though I got scared at the part where Takuya puts make up on the corpse of his dead lover...*creepy* I love how they explored the theme of a barrier free love. I loved the part where the girl was breaking up with him becus she feels that she's just being a baggae for him becus of her disease, to which Takuya nswers: "I am not a Xmas decor that you can just put in your life when you feel like it." It's a very clear but unsappy way of telling someone that you'll be with them no matter what. A truly inspiring story, an effective portrayal from Takuya Kimura once again ^_^
Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] One of the best and most touching doramas i've ever seen...i know this bit of comment won't amount to much but I'm writing it down just the same to add to the massive of good reviews already written here :)
Kubozuka Yosuke [窪塚洋介] HOT and TALENTED! And looks good in ANY hairstyle! ^^ Hope to see him make a successful comeback.
Nishikido Ryo [錦戸亮] Wow, he was so effective in I Litre of Tears..the way he was able to portray the transformation of his character was really superb...plus, he's damn cute..I think this boy will go far :)
