Overall storywise, this drama didn't have anything out of the typical. At times the cases were predictable, and…
I agree with your comment it was kind of predictable and not so much of suspense n the cases, but I enjoyed watching this drama a lot, it was light hearted, entertaining and the quirkiness of Miyama's character was pretty amusing to watch.
So If anyone is expectin a serious drama they better look for a different one, this is more on the easy going side.
I think overall (drama+movie) they took the story very lightly compared to the manga and I'm kind of disappointed because the manga is awesome and the story is very interesting, so I had hopped that when they made the liveaction it would be as good. I understand there are time constraints (and in this version they had huge ones, since the epsiodes were 20min when normally they are 45min) but I think this story deserves a better adaptation. My last hope was for this movie to get more into the original plot but that was not the case.
The movie was very well made, the plot was very interesting and the plot twists were really unexpected. Very good continuation of the death note movies. And the scene post credits was a thrilling cliffhanger!!
I enjoyed this drama very much and it was very fun to watch I laughed in many scenes, but I'm left with a feeling that I don't know how to explain, but I feel like something was missing for this drama to become awesome and a classic and I cannot pin point what it is!!
So If anyone is expectin a serious drama they better look for a different one, this is more on the easy going side.
