I started watching this drama for Iwata Takanori who played the part of Hachi but what really gripped me in the end was the relationship between the sisters, Hazuki and Misaki.

This is basically a slice-of-life of a drama. After a one-night-stand with her former high school teacher and crush, Soichiro, Misaki gets pregnant. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, really - she's on her way to 30 now so she is no kid anymore - but the autoimmune disease that she suffers from makes it one. Now it looks like her pregnancy might actually kill her. And so she makes a list of things to do before she dies - the main one, to make sure her sister, Hazuki, is happy so that, if Misaki died, she would be in a good place to take care of her child.

And then a lot of stuff happens. Basically.

I loved this drama. Hazuki, Misaki, their mom, they were all so well developed. And even Hazuki's new beau, Hagiwara Yohei, and his family - wonderful people, all of them! - were very 3D. I loved the relationship between Yohei and his sister. They were hilarious!

What I wish we've gotten to see more of is Soichiro, Hachi and their father. That whole situation with their dad being rich but not really there for his kids, dumping them on his 2nd wife, their step-mother, etc. That was skimmed over and only mentioned which is a shame, I think. Oh well...

Also, I loved 3JSB's Naoto's cameo as Hachi's skateboarding buddy. That was unexpected and great!
