no full on romance has been in the drama so far, unless you count the one sided attraction from the creepy preacher toward Sang Mi. The bros are long time friends so there is a strong sense of loyalty between them.
So many things wrong with this movie. The thing is I could actually have lived with this loser like American version…
If it had been a stand alone film, with all new characters stumbling across the Death Note in North America I think people might have received it better because then it would be a fresh platform to discover how the story for your average North American youth finding a Death Note would go, but this was clearly not that. A lot of people are unhappy with the character adaptations since they kept the original names but lost the strong intelligent personalities.
@Adam _from_England. You are welcome to like and enjoy the film all you want, but others can choose to dislike it as much as they want too :)
Thank-you for your thoughts on it.
6 eps left to go and with DC going in undercover I hope the bro buddies can catch a break and get her out. But I wonder if it will be right to the last ep that we see her finally rescued and saved.
lol my friends who only watched some of it and not all, kind of laughed at me for being able to finish the whole film. But in fairness I needed to watch it from beginning to end before writing this piece to give it my honest thoughts. Thank-you to everyone who took time to share their opinions about this film. I can see that some people did like the film for what it was, and to those original Death Note fans who clearly did not like the destruction of the original thanks for leaving your thoughtful comments and caring for the original so much.
For me one of the frustrating points was the fact that Ryuk in this adaptation told Light Turner to leave the death note for someone else to find and use on more than one occasion. To me it indicated that Ryuk knew this Light could not handle the Death Note as exceptionally as Light Yagami could.
Willem Dafoe is a great Ryuk, it's just the rest of the cast are bleh. Also why adapt it now? When the Death…
yeah William was probably the best choice for a North American Voice Over for Ryuk for live action, he does a great job with Villains and dark characters.
I watched the first few eps, it seems light hearted and fun. I found female lead cute and annoying! Though sometimes that trait goes hand in hand lol, but I think she will improve and her character will develop more further in. So I want to watch some more episodes. The guys all look very nice ^_^
Is love timeless any good? Tdramas for me starts well but get dragged in the end and becomes boring so im reluctant…
I really enjoyed the first 6-7 episodes, but wasn't happy with the ending overall because I hoped for an alternate pairing. The story concept was interesting in the first episodes.
