The original book is quite normal, normal case, normal narrative, normal characters. However, this TV show is really better than the book. It seems obvious that the adaptation is a huge success. I read the novel a couple years ago. I even owned a physical book myself. Consequently, I had been reluctant to watch the adapted TV show during these years. I just can't imagine how can the weak story convert into a great TV show. As it turned out, I am still naive.
Although the show is so sensational and I tore in silence some time. I still felt that there is something not right in the show. Reviewed seriously, then I figured out the cause. There was a very strong feeling of similarity between this show and shows of Keigo Higashino and Kotaro Isaka. I've seen plots from Journey Under the Midnight Sun like the separateness of our main characters. I've seen plots from Meteor Bonds like the schemes to the wealthy and cooperations. It's just like a mixture of the formers' touching narrative and mysteries from the original book. That's why I wasn't completed conquered.
Must to say, the director was clever and knew well what the audience want.
