New running movie

I chanced upon this movie at One Utama yesterday. It's called "Running Boy", in VCD format. It's a Korean movie. I've taken the liberty to give you the movie synopsis:-

"Cho-won is a lovely, normal looking child who likes chocolate cookies and zebras. Finding out he is autistic, his mother kneels down before the burden of reality. However, his mother discovers his love for running and begins to train him.

20 years later, Cho-won's intelligence is still that of a 5 year old boy. He farts everywhere, bows to his younger brother, and dances to music wherever. However his mother dedicates herself to training him to accomplish a sub 3 hour, which is completing a marathon below 3 hours, a dream for amateur runners.

One day, Jung-wook, a former marathon champion, comes to work at Cho-won's school to fulfill his community service for a DUI (Driving Under the Influence of alcohol). Cho-won's mother begs him to coach her son. Taking the job unwillingly, he learns to open his heart to ho-won as they spend more time together and sees the possibility of accomplishing a sub 3 hour. Jung-wook and Cho-won's mother have a serious dispute over how to train Cho-won. Amid the heated argument, Jung-wook tells Cho-won's mother she is obsessed, which makes her realise that she has been rushing her son around to make herself feel better about him being autistic. Consequently, she decides not to let him run anymore."


What happens next? Buy the VCD, watch the movie to find out!
