How does the Korean version of Little Forest compare with the Japanese version?

Compared with the Japanese version, the plot is more reasonable and compact, and the photography is more exquisite. On the whole, it is more like a movie, but there is no room for blank space and imagination in the Japanese version, which is slightly mediocre.

The Japanese version is closer to the original. In fact, both the original and Japanese films are somewhat depressing and not as fresh as they look.

I paid attention to this author only a long time ago, about 2000 years ago. I remember that he won an newcomer award when he was very young, but the sales of his works were very poor. Finally, he had to leave Tokyo with a cat and live in seclusion in the country for several years, while farming and cooking, drawing some random cartoons. "Little Forest" should have been painted during that time.

Although the protagonist is a girl, the original comic book is actually a record of the author's daily life during that time. After reading an interview, he said that he likes country life and cooking very much, and he really hates metropolis life, so the comic temperament of the small forest is a bit like Walden Lake.

This temperament is also reflected in Japanese movies, but it is almost absent in Korean versions. The Korean hostess's motivation to return to her hometown is very capricious. Without the introversion and sensitive depression of the Japanese hostess, it looks a bit "creative" and is not so impressive as an audience.

In a word:

The difference is that the eyebrows are a little sensitive.
