It could been a lot better

I recently started rewatch this adaption from the manga Kimi ni Todoke cus I felt like I didn’t see it properly the frist time. The very frist episodes was interesting to watch, I felt it took time to get through them,

The story version for the series was amazingly build, it follow the manga story line just fine but it felt too short and rather rushed. It going been 16-20 episodes longer like dramas like the series had.

At the same time It wasn’t that good at all? It’s felt abit boring and not as touching to me as manga and anime had. that I thought I felt some characters was miscasting in this like Kazehaya, He didn’t felt like the Kazehaya I hade in mind, he was cute and the personality but he didn’t really have charm, jealousy or sadness either, they should just casted another actor as him same as Ryu, he felt abit short for me, but kazehaya had great chemistry with the actress that played Sawako, although Sawako wasn’t scary or look scary or misunderstood the same way as manga or movie, it felt it abit more tuned down with the bullying, the visuals for the series could been done better.

The OST was wonderful and felt like it worked well with the series! Music is what a lot bring series or movie alive.

I felt like the visual wasn’t all the bad but it was just not there.

For many reasons I feel like I prefer the movie version over the series even if didn’t follow the storyline from the manga so much, but that’s cus I grew up movie version and saw the anime when frist came out. That’s a perfect cast for the movie and felt like the movie version came straight out of from the manga it’s still the best live adaptation than the series sadly, they should use the same producers/director for the series tbh, it could bring out the same magic. The rest of the other cast and the music was amazing too, the music did save the series as well the storyline, but I honestly suggest watch the movie than the series frist cus it felt was boring at times, ugh!

Maybe I’ll rewatch it but not now.

This was my 3-4 time rewatch the series,I was happy it was added to Wntflix. It was really hilarious and easy going from the start and gets abit rocky later on. I must say that music and chemistry with two lead actors really carried out the show for me and it’s a really lovely revisit. I however disagree that too much fight or they didn’t communicate well, have you like been in a relationship?The only that really yell was Yeoung-Jae and not Ji-eun, unless she was really provocative, they both really stubborn at times and clashes cus they are kinda alike - so ofc there be fighting like this. And His friends are more mature and try help him grow

Young-Jae is really childlike and can’t express his feelings well, so I can understand why he express it will childlike way and often drag ji-eun along, but you kinda se him evolution through the the series. I thought it was sweet series and worth a rewatch.
