I absolutely loved this drama! It was so inspirational and emotional at the same time.

The story, which is based on true events, is so relatable and follows the life of this strong girl. I felt that the storyline stayed interested throughout the entire drama.

Every actor did a terrific job! Sawajiri Erika did an amazing job with taking on the character of Aya, who began to experience problems walking and speaking. It was very convincing to me. Her parents (Yakushimaru Hiroko and Jinnai Takanori) acted so well, as they showed nothing but love and support for their daughter. And Nishikido Ryo played a wonderful character, who expressed tough and soft personalities.

The music matched perfectly and was very heart-warming!

What I especially loved about this drama, was that they incorporated quotes from Aya Kito's diary into each episode, along with a collage of personal photos. This added a special touch to the drama, which kept reminding me that these events actually happened.

To Sum Up! A must-watch drama, it will touch you in some way and remind you just how precious family, friends, and time really are.
