"God, please give me more time" is a japanese romantic drama from 1998 starring Fukada Kyoko as the teenager Kano Masaki who finds herself being infected with HIV and Kaneshiro Takeshi as the popular music composer Ishikawa Keigo who is still mourning the death of his lover. These two unlikely individuals meet on a fateful night where their fates forever will be intervened into a string of joy,hope and love.
This drama was not easy to watch since it really explored rather sad topics like HIV,AIDS,prostitution,divorce, infidelity,death and abortion.Masaki is a young girl lost in her life with a family that live their own lives and friends who does same things over and over.Not to mention how usual it is that Tokyo high-schoolers sells their bodies for things they want.(i can imagine how normal this was in the 90s).Masaki refuses to believe that this is all to her life and i love how she questions it.But she is truly passionate when it comes to listening to the lyrics Keigo has composed,in which she feels the pain and loneliness Keigo suffers.Keigo is a irresistible force who finds the means of living when he meets the carefree Masaki.I love how he stayed true to her as a friend,then later lover and then as a husband. It was so bittersweet watching how these two tried to overcome all the obstacles and refused to leave each other to the bitter end.
