okay okay okay - hear me out
Xue Yang as Light
A-Qing as Sayu
Song Lan as Soichirou (Xiao Xingchen ???)
but instead of the Death Note anime ... it's the musical, just think about it
Death Note spoilers ahead:
I personally think it would have been harder for the police and L to catch up with Light if:
1. He hadn't been obsessed with the idea of being the "god" of the "new world" (aka being power hungry)
2. He didn't wish to be recognised, instead laying as low as possible (he was really excited to be KIRA, when it only made him be more in the police's radar)
3. He didn't kill extreme amount of criminals on the go. Instead focused to make sure there was no pattern (such as time, dates, kills, types of criminals)
4. Used other methods than heart attack, more accidental or predictable deaths would have made it quite hard to track back.
5. Hadn't accepted an open challenge of L by killing Lind. L. Taylor which confirmed a lot of stuff for L.
6. STOP DOING HIS EVIL LAUGHS AND MONOLOGUES IN HIS FREAKING HOUSE. (though his sister and mother probably thought he was going through an emo phase. I can imagine Sayu saying "Mom, Light is talking about being the god of the world again. He also has some imaginary friend called Ryuk" "Just, ignore it honey")
While I know Light wanted to be known and be treated as some vigilante god, on the long run being a hidden and mysterious force like L would have helped him achieve his goal. Also knowing L's IQ, he would still have found Light.
