IF THIS IS TRUE, THIS ISN’T GOOD!!!

However in local japanese fans opinions, Ohno’s looks and popularity couldn’t be compared to Toma’s and he could not portray the same character as the popular korean idol, Joo Ji Hoon. As for the female actress, "kobayashi ryoko", other than her figure which is slimmer than the korean actress, her charisma isn’t as good as the korean one.

Is this the reason why Maou’s ratings is dropping? Does the Japanese fans really think about that on Riida? Couldn’t be compared to Toma and Joo Ji Hoon???

Sometimes I don’t understand, why we’re living here and not in Japan! LOLOLOL!

u poor thing! you must be hurting a lot. told you, the original was a tough act to follow but still they could be alittle kinder to Ohno. it his first time to act on screen. and his role is a very challenging one. maybe that is the reason why they shortened the series?

is it confirmed that the series will just have 6 episodes? i based my assumption on the more-often-unreliable source called wiki. i don’t know anymore, we international fans enjoy Maou to the max, we could build Ohno a shrine or something, but unfortunately, the Japanese audience wouldn’t be bothered much by his drama. and comparing him to JJH, sure he’s smaller and cuter, but he could definitely act his part. ohmyijustwokeupandimrantingagain!!!!

they can’t help it for Mawang was shown in Japan. that is why probably the japanese public is not that receptive.

yes, I think that’s a big factor. and the obvious comparison of the 2 lead actors in the lawyer’s role. this news really gave me a bad day.
