This is one Japanese drama that was a good companion during my first year in uni. It's also known as "Die Sterntaler" (German title) or 星の金貨 (hoshi no kinka). Was hooked on this drama so much so that me and my hall mates watched it during our exams even!
Fell in love with its main actress; Noriko Sakai (as Aya who is deaf/mute), as well as its male lead; Yutaka Takenouchi (as Takumi). I don't really like the 'actual' male lead Takao Osawa (as Shuichi). Yutaka is the other half of "Beach Boys".
The trials and tribulation of Aya (nurse) reminds me of Oshin. She's so unfortunate in the drama. It even stretches to 3 seasons...but the first season was the best.
The drama was so good that it bagged its lead actress and actor (Noriko Sakai and Yutaka Takenouchi) the Best Actress (5th Japan Drama Awards) and Best New Actor award (33rd Golden Arrow) in 1995.
