I read Nakayama Sichiri's book....

... Nocturne of Remembrance and I have to say that this drama that is based on three of books falls short on regard of the fantastic plot, atmosphere, characters, motives.

Sichiri's Nakayama novel -at least the one that I read -is an intriguing book full of interesting characters, with a troubled protagonist and a complicated multilayered plot.

The series on the other hand deconstructed completely and lighten up the story of at least the first novel that I have read, ( I think this drama covers three of them) making the main protagonist looking like a vain egoistic pig, his secretary Yoko looking like a stupid rookie and destroying completely the mystery and unexpected twist of the end.

I managed to watch only the first two episodes of this drama, appalled with the way that the script writers messed up the universe.

Did the writers of the script read the same book that I read and if they indeed did so, ( and didn't read only the summary on the cover of the book) , is THAT what they got from this book?
Just asking because I don't understand how such a intriguing crime legal novel ended up to look like this.

Dropped without remorse.

1 out of 10 from me and I suggest to everyone to read Shichiri's Nakayama books which are by far better as it seems, than their stupid TV adaptations.
