Better adapation
I must say....Yes this was better than the Thai version. Better acting, better characterization, and better pacing. I really enjoyed this one. I was worried cause Japan doesn't usually do NC that well. Well this one was fantastic, but more importantly I love the recharacterization of Kaishan. I got why he fell in love with Ai. In the Thai version I never understood why Mahasamut fell in love with Rak. There was literally no reason to. The acting was just better and natural. I never really felt any dragging of the plot like I did in the Thai version. The one part that I did feel the Thai was better was the confrontation with the father. It was definitely done better in the Thai version and felt more like an unleashed dog in that one. Very spicy. I also still love the part where Mahasamut was called a dog and he barked. Also the side GL couple in the Thai version really angered me. I thought at the beginning that the Japanese version was going to go that same route but they tone down the obnoxiousness a LOT, and I actually enjoyed them. But other than that, yep. I'm surprised cause the last Thai to Japan remake was not good. This one exceeded my expectation. While the Thai verson was a 7/8 to me, this one is firmly in the 9 territory.
