The Files of Young Kindaichi

I loved the manga and the anime so was super excited to watch this live adaptation but it was quite lacklustre. What made me cringe was the acting... it felt like I was watching a highschool production. Now, not all of the actors were terrible but Kindaichi in particular's acting was especially cringe and unconvincing.

The plot on the other hand was okay. The mystery element was still there which is a necessity but yea I really couldn't get over the stuff/awkward acting by many of the cast members.

Overall, highly disappointed but I do encourage people to watch it to make their own judgement. I might not like it as much as I would have liked to but it might be different for you.
