[NON COMMENTARY
NON (Shaw, W cast)
I love the unique world of children, so I have been interested in playing a boy for a long time. The character is not very courageous, so I was conscious of giving the character a timid appearance. And yet, there is also a sense of innocence as he talks with Nono with curiosity.
I had a lot of fun filming and I can’t wait to step on stage with you all.
