I get to see the turbulence in a daily life and life-decisions of an Alzheimer patient, how people who love her have to cope with this adversity and how they try to comfort and make brings convenience, how they try to be happy for the remaining time. Not all the people around you treat the same after the diagnosis even though they know it’s just an unfortunate thing and not even happening them. Most beautiful and the saddest of all, this dorama gives an insight that how the patients have to mentally cope from the sudden changes of their life – family, social, health, career. Dai Renai makes me wonder that what if such tragedy hits to you and your family, precious ones.
Acting-wise, Toda chan (Nao) and Muro Tsuyoshi (Shinji) have the perfect chemistry, enduring and filling for each other’s shortcomings towards their tragic ending. Supporting actors Matsuoka Masahiro (Yuuichi) and Koike Teppei also did perfect job. The ending theme, backnumber's "Old Fashion" is the perfect piece to describe Nao and Shinji's relationship.
Prepare a box of tissue papers should you've decided to watch this, even if it's your second time re-watching.
