Rain Man meets
Chariots of Fire in Jeong Yun Cheol's directorial debut
Running Boy, the box office
hit that critics have dubbed "the feel-good movie of the year"! Also known by the alternative title
Marathon, this
poignant human drama stars Cho Seung Woo (
The Classic,
Raging Years) as Cho Won, a twenty year old autistic
man with a passion for running track.
Encouraged by his mom (television actress Kim Mi Sook in her first major film role), Cho Won begins to participate in small-scale
races at the local level, all in preparation for the ultimate goal - competing in an actual marathon! To help him achieve
his dreams, Cho Won's mother finds her son a track coach in the form of washed-up marathon champion Jeon Wook (The Quiet
Family's Lee Ki Young). But can the bitter coach overcome his personal skepticism and give Cho Won the expert training
he so desperately needs? The answer awaits you in Running Boy, a heartwarming film that explores one boy's drive to
succeed in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds!
