I also think that Lovely Complex and Death Parade would be perfect for korean production, I can already imagine how well Death Parade would look! Hopefully they can purchase the script soon. ♥
Also let's give kudos where its due - Japan knows how to adapt their josei, slice of life and horror manga, you don't need polished productions to be effective in a character-driven story. It seems korean productions might look up to western-standard in CGI and cinematography, but I find that they forget about the characters' "soul" as often.
Even if we don't get season 2, the ending could be pretty cohesive because - officer is dead, as well as his family, police goes to investigate Goto's, priest already has showed that he doesn't want to continue tradition thus testifies. Or.... as anime watcher's would say "go read a manga".
Let me guess it will have: • 16 episodes that will have 1hour 20min each • More prominent love triangle (a few episodes will have confrontations even!) • "Bad guys" gonna get more screentime • They might make more obvious in your face "haha, that's GAY" jokes • A lot more crying • They will include corrupt policeman storyline or smth like that
The atmosphere was great! It's reminiscent of how visual kei music videos were shot back in a 2000s It's quite a simple story about two teens obsessed with death.
Can somebody change the genre from comedy to drama and slice of life? Because there is nothing comedic about this heartwarming and at times emotional drama.
This drama showcases a pretty interesting connection between rental girlfriends and hosts and how their clients are similar. And how when one becomes a client, they don't notice the pattern they themselves use with said clients.
I was so happy that there were no love triangles, that it was wholesome and more focused on the mystery and self-improvement than petty love triangle drama ♥
Most English titles don't bother me, maybe because English is my second language. Then again "Boys over Flowers" became such an iconic title, that I can't imagine it as anything else. Even if it's incorrect, that title has such charm to it, ykno?
