riemaynine"Even in the depth of darkness, there must be a little spark of light. If you don't give up, you'll find the light."
I just finished rewatching a heartbreaking yet inspirational drama tonight starring Shige! I actually watched it the first time way back 2019, but this was first aired on television as 24hr TV SP drama in 2016, where NEWS was the main personality for the said NTV network's telethon. Since it's already my habit to write a review of the dramas and movies that I have just watched, even though I already had the thread of random tweets for this drama, I still would like to post an entry here in DW, even if this will be just short and simple.
Shige played the role of Arai Yoshinori, a young middle school teacher who was diagnosed with having retinal detachment, which would be the reason for him to gradually becoming blind. By the time he already see nothing but darkness, at first, he felt that he was hopeless and would not be able to go back to be a teacher again, but by the support he receives from everyone around him especially his wife (played by Sawajiri Erika), he was able to regain the determination to return to teach again.
The drama (or we can say that this as a TV movie - tanpatsu, approx. 1 and a half hours duration) starts with Onosaki (played by Kotaki Nozomu), Yoshinori-sensei's former student narrating. He decided to visit his former teacher, but would be surprised when he found out that his teacher, whom he known for being cheerful, had become a different person.
What I found cute here is the love story between Yoshinori-sensei and Mayumi-sensei - I remembered shipping Shige with Erika here for a short time before huehue.
By the way, Kei-chan is also here! He played the role of a worker in a rehabilitation center where he guided Yoshinori-sensei.
Cute Claude, the guard dog!
At the end of the drama, HiHi Jets members Takahashi Yuto, Inoue Mizuki and Hashimoto Ryo appeared, as Yoshinori-sensei's students in the new school where he would restart teaching.
Where to watch: NEWSnow Express at LJ subbed the drama!
