review
the cerita

this is a story about a girl who was suffering from spinocerebellar ataxia when she was 15 yo, and struggled very hard to continue her life until her death at the age of 25. the story is based on diary of Kitou Aya, who was suffering the same disease. it's just that the drama has been modernized la kan.. mane ade org zaman tu pakai henpon! ok, she wasnt able to run first, then walk, write, then talk and even eat. the story is about being strong, brave, confidence & etc etc-lah.

spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)

Cerebellum (in blue) of the human brain

according to wikipedia,

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is one of a group of genetic disorders characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait and often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. Frequently, atrophy of the cerebellum occurs.

As with other forms of ataxia, SCA results in unsteady and clumsy motion of the body due to a failure of the fine coordination of muscle movements, along with other symptoms.

The symptoms of the condition vary with the specific type (there are several), and with the individual patient. Generally, a person with ataxia retains full mental capacity but may progressively lose physical control.

the novel / diary

The diary, a true story based on her own life, was originally written in first person. It is about a girl coping with her teenage life along with a degenerative disease. She keeps a diary of not only what she does but how she feels and the hardships she must endure. The diary was published shortly before her death, sold nearly (or more) 18 million copies in Japan.

side effects to the viewers (Achtung!)

if you enjoy this drama deeply, you might understand about the disease (SCA) more, then you might be able to value the gifts that our God gives us, plus, your tears might drop also.. and another effect is, you might spend hours to finish this drama as soon as you can, ahahaha.. so make sure you have enough time to spend before you start watching this, okeh?!!

the soundtrack

aku paling suke lagu Only Human, by K, a Korean singer.. yang ni korang search sndiri kat youtube, aku malas kasi link, hehehe.. ;D

the rate

i would rate this drama 9.0-9.5 (wow!) according to the storyline, actors (all actors cry in this drama, very good-lah! ;D), camera angles, lighting, original sound track, bla bla bla.. i think u should have this copy of cerita-lah, if you are so pokai, then download saja-lah, or if you malas-malas to download, simply copy from your frens who have it-lah!
