Another true story about a autistic young man who managed to run a full-marathon in 3 hours. It's actually based of a Korean person who is still alive and running. It's be adapted into a Japanese character and Nino plays the autistic young man by the name of Shotaro.
Let's get straight to the point shall I? I. Love. This. So. Much.
If you want some hard evidence that Nino is a brilliant actor please watch this because I was literally blown away at Nino's brilliant acting as an autistic person. I didn't even see him as Ninomiya Kazunari, idol, singer, actor, I saw him as Shotar the autistic boy who loves to run. Sometimes I seriously just wanted to hug Shotaro because he was so adorable.
It really is a touching story, I felt really moved at the end and I just felt so happy and content. If you're an emotional person (which I am not) you might cry just from the sheer happiness of it all. You watch as Shotaro runs, at first you think it's for his mother but then you realize that he really does love to run. Although Shotaro can't express his feelings through words, you realize that in the end he runs the marathon because he wants to. Because he enjoys it.
Relentlessly practicing.
Getting blisters on his feet.
Running until he cramps so bad he can't move.
and then going to the finish line.
2 hours 59 minutes 16 seconds.
I always read about how Nino's acting his better than Jun's and I never really knew what to think because I haven't watched many of Nino's dramas before, but after watching this? I am ready to completely agree. Nino is a brilliant actor. Now, I will go on a Nino-drama watching spree. (^^)
Rating - 5/5 (cause it was just that good in my opinion)
