Drama Digest
Rental Nan Mo Shinai Hito, also known as “Rent a person who does nothing”, is a 2020 released drama series based on a man’s unusual and mysterious service. The main character, Shota Moriyama, has been providing ‘company’ in return for some feasible money. And this companionship means he will accompany you on a train or bus journey, come with you to a restaurant, and like this, he will provide any kind of service that you want under companionship.
The Feel-Good Part
The concept of the series itself is unique, and it accompanies a well-articulated script and direction. This one can say it with its fascinating and marvelous way of narration. The series is realistic, addressing issues such as loneliness, supportive families, and societal problems. This show is a perfect way to escape from a troubled life.
The Disappointing Factor
The series was a bit fast from some points of view, but still, it ended perfectly. Because of the time duration, one would ask for more episodes with more than a half-hour duration.
In-Depth Analysis
The series is unique, and it also discusses some serious issues, which are conveyed very neatly and smoothly to the viewers. For example, the protagonist had a job in a corporate company, and he left that job because he was bored, which made him lonely. He gave up that job only because of his revelation of living a happier life and not for money. Also, his family is very supportive, and it is because they knew that this loneliness would make people do worse things. And in another way, the shots are doing noble work. The series is based on the real-life story of a young man named “Morimoto Shouji”. His story became quite popular and made headlines all over Japan and the rest of the world.
Star Power
The series became recognizable only because of the actor’s performance. Masuda Takahisa’s portrayal of Moriyama Shota and his calming and charming willpower to make his clients satisfied is something that made his acting the cover page of this series. And his wife and other supporting characters as well, have done a perfect job in the series.
Overall Opinion
The series is a heart-warming and feel-good one. It is highly recommended for everyone, especially those who are facing loneliness and depression. It indeed works as a pill for you.
