not like sung jin woo is gonna be that character either

that'd be cool considering the potential it'd had but so far they're keeping the works stand alone, so all we could get is references at best and those would be hard to pick up unless you'd already read most major works.

it's the same way as marvel, different authors have worked on different stuff but it's a collective universe under the label of the company ylab. they've made like two more universes aside from blue string, their most famous being super string which island part 1 and 2 is a part of.

it's called blue string universe by ylab, you can look it up. i'd say superstring is more like marvel, blue string is basically just jacked up high schoolers. but yeah they do have like a full fledged crossover manhwa, not just like simple references from one work in another.

the anime takes it in terms of being the most faithful to the source material. after that is the jdrama which does make quite a few significant changes to the storyline but not as much as the kdrama adaptation. i personally liked both korean and japanese live action iterations, all of them have something different to offer i'd say. i tried to keep it short and simple but if you want, i can get more into detail with what sort of changes every adaptation entails.

thanks for the reply! that's a long way from where i left it, honestly wasn't even expecting it to get that point in this season. will see if i can get some time to read one piece before watching s2. i'm in no hurry to watch it anyways, so might as well delay it ig.

until which arc should you consider for someone to have seen to not ruin the experience? i've only seen up to the alabasta arc.

it's airing this year and it's my first time hearing about this one lol. the plot looks somewhat similar to the night has come or ousama game.

if i'm right the first one is bloodhounds s2, what's multiple deaths for?

i would say i'm quite used to seeing films like this and still was only able to grasp the film on a surface level, so i can understand the confusion of people here who tend to start complaining about not being able to understand when the story is a bit non-linear. i somehow ended up liking AALCC a bit more than this one, both very fascinating films tho.

i think twilight got me into that (sort of, not 100% sure), it was around 9 years ago. have long since gotten out of my mythological creature films/series fever lol. spn gotta be my favorite in this genre ngl. doctor who could be a candidate but it's more of a fantasy and science fiction than mythology from real world.

try watching the jp version, that one's better imo. loved tvd but originals got a better conclusion and legacies in all honesty just is ridiculous, never got around to finishing the final season. how far you into tvd btw?

not a live action but madhouse is making an anime, hopefully there won't be any of those weird zooming and other weird stuff this jdrama had (like those over the top sound effects for fukunaga's character). i think someone here said that it has all those things because it was adapted from a manga, when in truth the manga mostly took itself very seriously, it's this adaptation that made it a lot more light-hearted. if i remember correctly, this version of liar game doesn't present any consequences if you were to end up being unable to pay the debt you owed (might be remembering it wrong), in the manga there is always an impending sense of doom that the participants might be sold off to a island as slaves, or be lab rats, or have their organs sold, etc.

the manga author wrote nao that way purposefully, it ends up making the later development much more rewarding. the last few volumes actually made me like nao just about as much as akiyama, in some moments even more. i've not seen past this season yet but since the films were released way before the manga ended, i'm pretty sure the later development of nao's character happens wildly different.

thanks!

in the document attached, there is also a mention of reawakened man with a 2026 date on page 25, is that for one of the live actions or we getting an animated adaptation for it.

yeah no problem

as han young already said it's a trap, him getting a call from kang shin jin coincidentally at the same time solidifies that part. at that time, he knew if he ignored his offer and went to park cheol woo, he'll probably be able to save the prosecutor but will also be getting a target on his back. and he can't afford it at a point when he doesn't even know of the backing behind kang shin jin (the former president park kwang to).


as for kang shin jin, i don't think he was trying to kill park cheol woo because he's the prosecutor investigating that mayor case, it was mostly because of his past affiliation with han young. when he was clear of han young's intentions, he had no reason whatsoever to go as far getting an incumbent prosecutor killed, it would eventually make a bigger mess for him to clean when he already got his hands full with trying to cut-off the mayor's connection to park kwang to.

was a test for him to check his affiliation with park cheol woo. kang shin jin doesn't have the ability to trust people, the only thing he trusts is greed or ambition. so telling him that means that han young is selfish and can be controlled.

i was actually thinking as to why the villain here has pretty much the same ideals as the one from again my life, both web novels are written by the same person.
