How it feels

A fortune teller by day lives in a luxury hotel and reads the fates of wealthy and powerful clients. By night he becomes a thief who fights against corrupt elites, a modern-day Robin Hood. He uses his double life to challenge a money-obsessed society and reclaim what it means to be human.

What happens

『RUN』(ラン)は1993年10月15日から12月24日までTBS系列の「金9ドラマ」枠で放送された日本のテレビドラマ。主演は長渕剛。 長渕が演じるのはホテルの高級スイートルームに住み、政財界などの大物の運勢を占う易者の輪宝。しかし、それはあくまでも昼の顔であり、夜になれば巨悪に立ち向かう泥棒、言わば現代版ねずみ小僧である。表と裏の顔を使い、現金至上主義に陥った現代社会に本当の人間の在り方を問う。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
