Now this is how you do live-action!
As a diehard Dakaichi fan, I can assure you—this is a masterpiece. Well done to the actors, crew, and everyone involved!
When I first heard Dakaichi was getting a live-action adaptation, I was so nervous. But after watching only the first two episodes, I can confidently say they put in their best effort—and it shows. It’s not an exact copy, but that’s exactly what I wanted.
They’ve included a lot of background stories, but everything fits together perfectly. Not to mention, they referenced Sigma Company while hinting at other major companies—we can see that.
I especially loved how they introduced Jin from the very beginning of his acting career- unlike in the anime. It’s a challenging role because Jin/Junta acts happy, angry, and even perverted all at once—but he portrayed it so well. Anyway, he's a lovable psychopath. I love Smart! I’ve followed his career from the start, and he’s come a long way. I really hope he keeps growing and does even better in the future.
One thing I can confirm for sure- all weeks will be filled with romance, romance, and more romance! The actors have undeniable tension and chemistry, and Akin (boom) absolutely nailed his role. He mirrors the anime version perfectly—there’s not even the slightest change. He is amazing.
Finally, when I saw the angelic jin with the wings, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. That moment assured me—this series is going to be one of the best. I can’t wait to see what’s their next project!
(Sometimes they drag the movie shooting scenes a bit. But the acting is good so we can forget about that part.)
