Let me just start of with saying i was extremely excited for this live action. I absolutely adored the manga series. I re-read it i don't know how many times. That being said i find it sad to say i have found this live action to be a massive let down. They changed some very important events from the manga, which were some of the biggest turning points in the series. As well as they added in nearly all of the supporting characters with characters that don't even exists in the manga. Don't get me wrong if i hadn't read the book i would have given this a much higher rating. I just feel if you were a big fan of the manga like i was there is a really good chance you will find this to be a huge let down. One of the bigger issues i had with this drama was how they interpreted the main character hokuto and chiwa. Hokuto in the manga came off as a very stand offish character. Very cold and very self centred. From the very beginning of the series his main goal was to be the head of the mamiya company which has been in his family for generations. In the manga he did not have any friends or family he felt he could rely on. In his world he was virtually alone and that was the way he wanted it. One of the issues i had with chiwa was in the manga she did start out as a semi damsel in distress. However she never once stopped and whined and complained about her situation or her family's situation. She was always strong willed and a pillar of support for hokuto even when he didn't know he needed it. They were always helping each other out in ways they didn't even think were possible. One of the other bigger changes they made was in the manga Chiwa was actually an employee of the mamiya company although they never really specified what that was but that was one of the things that got the manga off to such a good start in my opinion. That was where you really saw them start to grow and develop a relationship with one another, however rocky that relationship was. The original story line in the book wasn't one of the most original piece's i have ever read but it defiantly was one of the most entertaining. There was romance, suspense, twists, comedy and so much more. A lot that the live action was missing. The book was so intense in some parts like wow did they really just do that. Or you would think wow did he just really say that about that person etc. I honestly feel like this is one of those dramas you watch because you either have nothing to do or just simply want to watch something simple and cliche. But hey again this is all just my opinion. I do recommend though reading the manga if you haven't already and see if you agree with the changes they made and what this drama was seriously lacking.
