To continue my drama antics I bring you this gem, Daisuki!! Aired in 2008 it still stands to be one of the most moving drama I've watched up to this day.

The story is about the mentally challenged heroine of the story trying to raise a child with the help of all the people around her. It's quite good. I almost shed some tears by the end.

Here's the synopsis from Dramawiki.

Yuzu, a 23-year-old mentally disabled woman with the mind of an 8-year-old, falls in love with Sosuke, a man with a similar disability. After Sosuke is involved in a fatal accident, Yuzu's family discovers she is 5 months pregnant with his child. Though Yuzu is intent on having the child, her mother, Miyoko, is immediately against it. After her family comes to terms with her pregnancy, Yuzu eventually gives birth to her daughter, Himawari. With many odds against her, Yuzu does her best to care for the daughter she so dearly loves.
