![]() The games itself in 'Liar Game' were actually very intelligent and intricate. It is also people who choose to watch others being pitted against each other, for money, to get an ounce of their weekly entertainment. Money is just the pretext, 'Liar Game' (both the drama and the game itself) is about all about people and how strong their characters are. It is people that make the choice to lie, cheat, betray and thus put others at risk - not money. Of course, in the context of the game, money is important, but 'Liar Game' teaches us that humans - people - are more important. I don't see it as being a drama that is about how far people will go when it comes to money. It presented a study of human behaviour - how we react and change (for better or worse) when it comes to trust. The show was able to stand on its own two legs without relying on ridiculousness. When I say that there was none of that present in 'Liar Game' I mean that there was absolutely zilch, nada, zero traces of any of the aforementioned tropes. The pacing was on beat and the tightly plotted 12 episodes managed to sail by without the assistance of makjang, noble idiocy, sacrificial lambs or filler. 'Liar Game' thrilled me, played with me, kept me guessing and sent my blood pressure rising in the best possible ways. Ten doesn't mean that I found it to be perfect (as perfection is unattainable), but since it has superseded many of the dramas that I've watched - both quality and entertainment wise - I thought it justifiably deserved the highest possible score. 'Liar Game' is the third drama I've given a ten to, in the short amount of time I've been watching dramas, and out of those three dramas it is both the one I believe to be the best and the one that I enjoyed the most. Therefore, I am going to treat the Korean version of 'Liar Game' as its own standalone show. After watching a few episodes of 'Nodame Cantabile', it has become clear that the Japanese and Koreans take quite different approaches to their dramas. Rewatch Value 10 I haven't seen the Japanese version of 'Liar Game', so I can't compare, but even if I had seen it I probably wouldn't compare. This is a must watch, especially to those who are into psychological and suspense! Music: I didn't pay attention to the OST, but the soundtracks made the scenes intense and keep you absorbed in the story. However, I can understand that her personality plays an important purpose throughout the story so it didn't annoy me a lot. Throughout the drama it gradually disappears, but her character had a weak and a "damsel in distress" image left upon her. There is a difference between being naive and being stupid. Her character is supposed to be a naive, innocent, and kind girl, she does a good job displaying them, but it was irritating to watch her half of the time. The only downfall I had was Kim So Eun's character (Nam Da Jung). ![]() Everyone was amazing, I can't express enough how Shin Song Ruk was born to play the antagonist/bad guy. The story itself will blow your mind with the game's guidelines and how Ha Woo Jin (Le Sang Yoon) and the others perform throughout them with psychology.but is left with some unanswered questions in the ending.Īcting: Acting is amazing. However, to some extent this shows perfectly illustrates greed, mistrust, manipulation of the media, and how far people will go just to earn money. The game itself is unrealistic obviously, they even mention how it ruins ethical guidelines and morals of a person. ![]() It's about regular, everyday people who are given an opportunity to earn millions of dollars in this show called. Story: The story is interesting and really pulls you in. It only took me a day to finish and wow.so many things happened, it was amazing. This is literally one of the best dramas I watched this year, starting from the first episode, I was already hooked. Rewatch Value 9.0 I haven't watched the Japanese version or read the manga, so I'm not going to make any comparisons and focus on the drama itself.
