This research discusses the ecranization (film adaptation) process of Samayou Yaiba, a novel by Keigo Higashino, into a television drama series. The aim of this study is to identify the forms of change in plot, characterization, and setting, and to analyze the impact of these changes. This research applies a structural approach and uses Eneste’s theory of ecranization. The method employed is descriptive qualitative, with data collection and comparison techniques between the novel and the drama series.The results show that in the plot aspect, there are 37 reductions, 33 additions, and 40 variations. In the characterization aspect, there are 4 reductions, 6 additions, and 2 variations. In the setting aspect, there are 12 reductions, 8 addition, and 5 variations. The most dominant changes are reductions and variations. This dominance is due to the filmmakers adapting the novel's long and detailed narrative to better suit visual media and time constraints. The ecranization process also affects the delivery of the message and tone, making the drama version more concise and focused on the main conflict.
