So it's sort of like the more "daring" doramas on pay TV, which are at least expectedly less restrictive of the creative vision of the showrunners?

At this stage this obviously won't happen because it's only the first movie and it felt like a typical "how it all began" movie even though they follow the manga chronology. But I don't know if there will be sequels or not.

Are Netflix Japan series not considered doramas in the full sense of the word?

Twitter folks in Japan or outside of it? I don't quite understand why people in the West should be so worried about the dirty laundry of Japanese show business, especially considering that this is a project for a Japanese audience in the first place.

Why does everything have to be a version of something?

I love that Abe and Yui are "together" again in this movie. They have such good on-screen chemistry.

I'm interested too. It has always been a bromance show with no romance, despite the subtle male love interests.

In 90% of cases when people argue about JP vs SK it is simply a matter of tastes and favorite country

Is there an LGBTQ element to this show? What? All other sources are silent about this.

Considering it's Netflix, maybe they nerfed her due to Western audiences complaining about the "horny is bad, guys" character.

This movie was supposed to be "how it all began" so she doesn't have any experience at this point.

The funny thing is that this trait of his is constantly ridiculed and repeatedly becomes the cause of his problems. But people complain about it as if it were Harvey Wenstein.

Oh my god, this is a semi-comedy character from the 80s. With the same logic, you could complain about sword fights in a movie about the Middle Ages.

This will obviously happen in the future and was at least implied at this point. Because this is the very essence of City Hunter. Did you notice that she didn't care about his porn treasure until she moved in with him, lol? Also, they deliberately kept her brother's request not to flirt with her, which doesn't make sense without a romantic subplot.

Maybe they'll give this a sequel if it's popular enough.

She is a beautiful girl, look at her celebrity photos. It’s just that the film somehow managed to make her 10 or even 15 years older than she is.

Well, it's more zoomer than the original franchise, but otherwise it's classic 80s action humor.

Much more canon than the version with Jackie Chan and even exceeded all my expectations regarding the quality of production and action, but for some reason the much more silly and non-canon version of Jackie caused me more emotions. Maybe due to duckling syndrome? But otherwise, an excellent live action adaptation.

I would rather say that this is a commentary on the fact that family is, first of all, people close to you, and not worries about the name, heirs, etc. Pay attention to the scene where his beloved woman becomes upset, thinking that he began a relationship with her solely for the sake of having a son. Or where his childhood friend is ready to agree to a humiliating position in the family just to be with him.

The Japanese love characters whose tragic fates evoke sympathy. What can I do?
