Hey it’s Ms. Lee Min Ho; today I will be
reviewing for you the Japanese drama The
Hours of My Life. The drama came out on January 8, 2014 and ended on March
19, 2014. It has 11 episodes.
Takuta
Sawada is in search of a job because he
is soon going to finish university. As he searches for a job he meets a girl
named Mikako Tabe in a job interview. He gets the job but she doesn’t; they
both ended up being friends and then they started dating. Everything seems to
be going well for Sawada until one day his hand starts becoming weaker and
weaker by each coming day. He then goes to the doctor and finds out that he has
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). A disease that will take control of all his body
eventually to the point he won’t be able to move at all or even breathe and
eat. He will have to live off a machine. As he finds out he decides to tell no
one until it starts worsening.

This
drama was amazing and emotionally tiring. If you are a normal human with
feelings you will be crying by the end of each episode it is impossible not to.
Where do I even start with this; first off this drama reminded of the drama 1 Liter of Tears because both
protagonist must deal with a disease that will take away every body movement they have
but there stories are both so different and incredible. Haruma Miura who plays
Takuto Sawada does best in sad, dramatic dramas he also came out in Sky of Love the movie which was tremendously
sad. Sawada’s character is so strong but has a lot of problems, no matter what
you always see him with a smile he never wants to cause others problems which
is at times good but other times it isn’t. The character that got in my
freaking nerves was Shigeyuki Mukai played by Takumi Saito. I just don’t know whether to hate him
or not because at first he seems like a great senpie he worries and cares about
Sawada but when Sawada starts dating Megumi Hongo who is played by Mikako Tabe Shigeyuki
starts taking interest in her. Then Sawada breaks up with her because he doesn’t
want her to deal with him then Saito goes and starts dating her. He knows that
his friend has the disease but he doesn’t care I feel like he is a bit selfish
and should have known the reason why Sawada broke up with Hongo and should have
done the correct thing to back of off Hongo because obviously they both still
loved each other. I was actually kind of hoping that Mukai would have told
Hongo that Sawada was sick so then Hongo would go back to him but no, he just
wanted Megumi for himself. Also I hated
that Takuto broke up with Megumi just because he was sick, I know that he didn’t
want her to worry for him and to feel obligated to care for him but if they
truly loved each other that wouldn’t matter for her. I also really liked the
characters Hina Murayama played by Mizuki Yamamoto and Mamoru played by
Mizushima. They were the characters who were there to make the audience laugh
when things started getting to serious; there relationship was adorable put
perfect. They were well written in and great supporters for their friends.
If
you plan to watch this drama, I strongly suggest that you do. It’s amazing and
worth watching. It sad but it great and it teach you something. If you like
this one I also recommended you to watch
1 Liter of Tears. Thank you for reading my blog, have a great day.
