I think he suits shoujo but he's literally been hoarding all the shoujo male lead roles recently.

I think that's because his face really suits the shoujo male lead role..he literally looks like a manga character..and also its probably cause he can look natural both as the cold tsundere kind of guy and the sweet,kind guy...like he didnt look out of place in ldk and heroine shikkaku. And i haven't seen orange yet but judging from the trailers, he looks like a good choice for kakeru. But there is definitely room for improvement as far as his acting is concerned.

Yeah, maybe some of his facial expressions and delivery of lines. However, I think with more experience, he will get better anyway. I thought he was good in 35 Sai, Heroine Disqualified, and Death Note.

Yes definitely.he was amazing in 35 sai and death note. I fell in love with him while watching DN! His L was really interesting and different and it didn't seem forced at all. But i heard he received a lot of criticism from japanese viewers and it made me so sad :(

Well, its unfounded. I thought he did very well. Also, the Japanese viewers don't seem to realise that their version of Death Note was not supposed to copy the anime anyway. In addition, it was at least way better than the old one. L seemed more like a normal person in this one, rather than a ghost. Its more realistic to me.

 

Exactly! L and Light both seemed so real in the drama. In the anime they both were too perfect, whereas in the drama they're more human, more relatable. They both have flaws, and especially Light seemed like a real person which made his fall all the more tragic. I 100% prefer the drama version. The several Lawlight moments were a plus too ^.^
