[Drama Review] Door to Door

Door to Door
Starring: Ninomiya Kazunari
2009 Drama SP

The third and apparently final installment of Nino playing people with illnesses. First was cancer, an deadly disease, next Autism a mental disease and now Cerebral Palsy (sp?) a physical disease. 5 minutes into the show I could feel tears spring to my eyes because Nino's acting was so good and my mind was going crazy and screaming "NINO! NINO WHY? NINO!".

Alright, to the actual story. Nino plays a 22-year-old with Cerebral Palsy, a disease in the brain that mostly affects someones body but also impairs Nino's character's speech. Nino's name in this drama is Hide. His goal in life is to become the top selling salesmen just like his dad, so he gets a job as a door to door salesmen even though he has a disability that effects his phyiscal appearance and his ability to speak. Whether he becomes succesful is up to you to find out. (although I'm probably going to spoil the ending later on anyways -_-'')

Again. Nino's acting? Marvelous, brilliant. So believable it's not even funny. I was so affected at seeing him act like he had a disease, I mean.. just watching him was undescribably disturbing. I mean, obviously I got used to it seeing as how I finished the drama but for the first 5 minutes I was just so.. freaked out. I mean, normally you know that an actor is acting but I don't know. I knew he was acting but at the same time, it was actually a physical problem which just made everything more see-able and thus I guess more believable for me?

I found it amusing that they needed subtitles whenever Nino spoke though. =P *giggles*

And Nino looks so good with the girl (whom I forgot the actor of) but seriously, Nino and her look so cute together. I seriously wish they got together in the end. I found the end kind of sad but I guess it was almost to be expected? I mean, it didn't come as a great shock and I didn't cry bucket-loads. This drama didn't really give off the "feel-good" feeling as Marathon but you know, I still enjoyed it a lot. Maybe not a favourite but it was definitely good and enjoyable.

Again, applaud Nino's brilliant acting skills and I hope he never has to do anymore disability dramas ever again. -_-''

Overal mark: 5/5
