Wow, I am surprised by how many thoughtless comments are left here. Yes, cancer and illness CAN be used as a cliche in dramas, but this is based on a true story, a true story where someone died of cancer.
People do die of cancer, it's an awful reality. Not every drama/movie is cliche just because it has cancer in it. Watch with an open mind and learn your facts before you go 'blah blah cancer cliche'
You sound like an idiot!
Think about the poor girl who actually went through something similar to th story she wrote for this drama and then think how you'd feel if people were saying 'OMFG cancer such a cliche lolz' when you'd lost the love of your life!
Stupid girls :/

*sighs* I enjoyed watching until they got to the loss of the baby and cancer stuff. I try to give plots like this a chance because characters. I liked Hiro and Mika. I thought they made an adorable couple. But getting sick with cancer is such a cliche and and easy out for dramas. What comes next? A lot of over the top dramatics, crying, and cheesy lines. I would have liked to watch Hiro and Mika struggle together as a young couple with his background and a baby on the way. It was just one thing after another and instead of feeling like ,"Omg! How awful! *tears*" I felt, "Geez, what's next? Cancer?" Da, da, DAAA!!! This is for sure, a great drama for those who are easily moved by true love and deathly illnesses. It has love, emotion, and good acting. This being based off a true story should also get you into it. I feel bad for whoever actually had to go through this. But I find that a lot dramas don't do stories like this justice or without ruining it. I hope to one day find a drama like this I can love.

I adore Koji Seto, but this drama is wack.

It's ultimately in the BASIC love story category.

I've seen and heard BETTER love stories.

Cancer? It's just too cliche. Don't get me wrong, but there's a whole lot to life&love in other levels.

Those who like this story just haven't seen the worst and most fascinating love stories ever.

But I respect yall for "thinking" this is the best love story. :P
