The best possible casting choice
When you make an adaptation like this, you need to be delicate. It's dangerous to transform certain things and I was scared, but they managed it: this is a wonderful adaptation!
Firstly, it is not simply a romance story. In fact, it's not a romance story: it's about finding self-love in someone else who is as empty as you are.
There is power in the performance of the two protagonists, but there is also power in the direction, which was careful at the right time and ambitious in several beautiful and unique moments.
It's one of the best dramas of its gender made in Japan this year. I was absolutely happy with all the fidelity to the manga and the precision of knowing what should be adapted.
Just: beautiful!
