No amount of words I write would be able to do this drama justice, but here I go:

This drama is based on the diary of Aya Kitou who at the age of 15 was diagnosed with spinocerebellar degeneration, an incurable degenerative disease where the body slowly loses it's ability to physically function, whereas the it's mental capabilities are unharmed.

This drama depicts how her family and herself deals with the disease. The story itself isn't extremely original as far as dramas go, but the way it was executed that makes the drama so special. The desire to be strong for everyone else, the feeling of helplessness of a mother, even the little problems that her siblings had to deal with were portrayed in such a way that truly touches your heart.

It's a drama that really makes you rethink your own life. It makes you appreciate what you have while making you wonder if your own family would react and deal with the situation the same way if it were to occur.
