Such a heartwarming drama. The leads did a great job. And it's very rare for me to applaud a japanese actor because I find their acting exaggerated most of the time. But this time, Takuya Kimura as Okita is awesome. His moves are so fluid. I can sense how much he studied real surgeons. Very realistic. Also, when he was stressed out because he couldn't figure out the right procedure, I didn't see him as an actor. I see how a real man look when he's stressed out. Lol.

Mifuyu is also good. When she cries, it's so real. You can sense the fear and the desperation to live despite trying to hide those feelings and pretending to be strong. Oh how she and Masao broke my heart in their last scene together. It was so moving!
