Not satisfying

Firstly, I recall a manga of similar plotline .. I remember the manga is pretty sweet ~
However for this movie (I watch this and the next one in one go), I would say that the execution is not that satisfying ..

[This is a review for both Monday - Thursday and Friday - Sunday]

I love the story, a slow developing, confusing feelings ..
A little misunderstanding due to feelings and thoughts not properly communicated ..

I have nothing against the actors .. BUT I would say that they does not portray the character well ..
It is as if that the execution of the character, and the way the story says the character is supposed to be, does not adds up, in my humble opinion ..
I am no expert, but this is my opinion as one of the numerous audience out there ..

For Seryou ..
The supposed image of him is a popular guy, new girlfriend every week
A popular, charming one .. A very gentleman ..
In the movie, the character of Seryou seems more of, a soft, weak uke (?)
One point that I pretty much dislike is the amount of powder on Seryou's actor .. I don't know whether it's Japanese culture or is there any certain purpose behind it, but I find Seryou's actor overly unnatural 'white' face (from powder or foundation? not sure, not an expert too)
And Seryou's general expression is more of,.. a very timid person ? But not really, it's like timid, yet stiff ? and rather odd ?
In real life, a person executed that way is, in my very humble opinion, unlikely to be someone who is very popular and has a girlfriend every week ..

For Yuzuru ..
The story portrays him to be someone 'cool', whose behaviour contrast the appearance ..
But I do not really see this .. It's more like, we get to know this from his flashbacks of rejection and told my his friend.. aside from that? Not really ..
I think that if the contrast is executed better, I would love his character even more !
