Let's talk composition in the jdrama. L is always on the brighter side of the frame while Light is on the darker side.

#I caught it once and never stopped being able to see it like L is just always beneath lights or in front of windows #I was esp astounded by the 1st image the lights are off outside the window behind Light!!! and all the lights are open on L's side!! #*rubs my hands together in glee whenever there's intentionality in the media I consume* #death note #death note jdrama #light yagami #l lawliet #death note drama #you wanna know how I realized this? light starts wearing all black after he meets L #and I got kinda annoyed noticing he's always darker side of the frame cause it's hard to see him in all black #but then I analyzed. and I understood. #the jdrama just loved the black-and-white aesthetic of these two they couldn't get enough of it #in hindsight they definitely focused on this over the red/blue cause in my post about light's outfits I was surprised he wore so little red #much easier for them and also L never changes outfits and couldn't have his wardrobe match his character arc like Light anyway
