Thanks to Xinyu's blog, I started watching 1 Litre of Tears after 3 years of delay. After countless of recommendations. I thought the reviews were too exagerrated, saying it's so good and blah blah blah and most importantly last year the main actress acted too much a stuck-up brat I thought this series isn't worth watching after all. Yup I'm easily prejudiced against stuffs. Hah.
I started watching approximately last friday. I just finished it today! This is like, one of the fastest amount of time i spent to finish a whole drama. It is so good, it really led me to shed 1 litre of tears... and made me almost forgot how bratty the main actress was in reality, it made me want to believe the reality was a mistake. How powerful can a drama get? It actually led me to hallucinate LOL.
After finishing the series, it reminded me again how fragile life really is, how much I have been taking for granted, thinking a healthy body is something that comes naturally to everyone who's born into this world, and if you live healthily, you don't smoke and drink, you will be healthy forever, at least till your old age. Plus it made me reflect the wonders of having a whole and caring family, if I had a past life, I must have been really sacrifical and kind to be granted so much of what it seems to be 'ordinary' to us. These things seem to come so naturally and ordinary because we are perceived to view this way, because we are surrounded by so many 'ordinary' people, with 'ordinary' lives, which made us sort of 'narrow minded' in a sense... we never knew how different people can be in our society, how much they yearned for something this simple and ordinary. We never got to view and live with these people.
Imagine one having this disease that will slowly degrade your nervous system, which one is fully aware of since the degradation doesn't affect the mind, one wouldn't be able to walk, talk, eat and be bedridden, slowly but very surely, since it's incurable. There are medicine to slow down the progress but it is certainly progressive. What's worse is you don't know what you have done to get this disease, since the cause of it is unknown as well. Omg. And this drama is actually a real life story of this 15 year old girl, based on her diary which is written for years till she could no longer control her hand and hold a pen, can view this all so optimistically and never thought of giving up. That was 30+ years ago.
This is like, so inspirational after you watch it. Makes you think of what you have, who and where you are right now. Makes you learn how to cherish what you have at the moment, and try not to take everyday for granted. Makes you think that all the problems you are plagued with now, regardless from studies, work or NS, they are trival matters. This is the power of video streaming.
Suddenly you feel so great right? To have the mobility to move freely for a long time to come, not knowing when you will reach your physical and health limits. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. We all know we are going to die one day. But knowing and not knowing when makes a whole lot of difference to your life.
