I have been hearing about One Liter of Tears ever since I’ve started the habit of watching Japanese dramas. Before, it was all Korean dramas for me but then again, my ever shortening attention span and my interest to see the Japanese version of Meteor Garden otherwise known as Hana Yori Dango pulled me into watching Japanese dramas.

I’ve put off watching this because I know it’s going to be sad, sadder than Stairway to Heaven for that matter but curiosity got the better of me and I started watching this in advance when GMA7 started promoting this drama.

It started airing tonight and I must say, I was surprised at the accuracy of the translation of the dialogues. I am also quite happy that they maintained their Japanese names although I don’t like the voice of some of the characters. Ako, who is Aya’s younger sister, had a mouse-like sounding voice when the actress in real life had well, a more rounder one. But looking beyond the flaws, I’m quite happy with tonight’s episode and I hope it continues until the end. (I noticed though that there are a lot of commercials for a drama that is airing for the first time.)

So what happened tonight?
