Last Christmas (2004)

What an all around nice romantic love story. The side stories really helped to make this drama the story that it was. The couples they helped to get together as well as helped to stay together. What I thought would be a beautiful but sad drama really turned out to be a real beautiful romantic drama. One I'd watch over and over again and never get sick of. Just my most humble opinion... :)

I really liked the choice of actors in this drama, you couldn't pick better ones for the roles they played. Once again, Yada Akiko did a splendid job in this drama showing her true colours as she always does. I was greatly impressed with this drama and would highly recommend anyone and everyone to watch it. In my most humble opinion, there were many lessons to learn throughout this wonderful drama.

An All Time Great J-Drama

I think it's the only drama I've watch more than 5 times. Yet every single time I've rewatched it, it still touches me.

The story seems really cliche i.e female lead with life threatening illness but there's just so much more to it. To see how the male lead stood by her despite having his own misgivings about her shady past just never gets old.

To me, this is really a story of tolerance, acceptance and understanding in love. It's also a story about perseverance. For example, there s a quote in the drama that even an illness can be a door to something good..How having to give up your seat to an old person is a bus is not unlucky, it's lucky because you are doing something good. That even if you forgot to bring an umbrella during a rain doesn't mean that you are unlucky, because the rain will eventually stop.

PS: Yada Akiko is such a cutie here. I actually rewatched this more than 10 years after I first watched it and I still find her and this JDrama to be one of the main reasons I'm so into JDrama.
