Liar Game

Today I wanna introduce you this drama, LIAR GAME, a very very nice Japanese drama!
This drama was shown a few years ago but I just completed the show recently only.
My brother gave me the show like last year or the year before but I didn't watch it because HE GAVE ME ONLY THE SEASON 2! -_-"
Anyway, I thought to myself.. How can I watch a drama skipping the season 1!?
So I tried to find the torrent and finally got the season 1 few months ago.
And last month I started to watch the show and got addicted to it! :D

I went around telling my friends and some watched it and say it's nice and addictive too!
Told my sis about it and she went to read the manga but she didn't watch the show yet. LOL!
From what my sis told me about the story from the manga, there's a few difference.
I guess the manga are more detailed since the show is made out from the manga.
They would surely edited here and there for the show.
Ok, I get all excited saying about Liar Game but I still have not tell you what the show is exactly about. Haha..
There are 2 seasons for the drama and 2 movies out in 2010 and 2012.
The show is categorized as Mystery/suspense drama.



LIAR GAME SEASON 1
Total of 11 episodes.
The 2 mains are Kanzaki Nao and Akiyama Shinichi.

- Toda Erika as Kanzaki Nao
- Matsuda Shota as Akiyama Shinichi

Story started out like this :: Kanzaki Nao is a very honest person who one day received a hundred million yen, along with a card saying that she has been chosen to take part in the "Liar Game". The game is to trick the other parties out of their hundred million dollars. At the end, the winner gets the hundred million and the loser is a hundred million yen in debt.

The games for the first seasons summarized as below:
First Round: Liar Game

Other than the games, there's also some story behind for this game.

The last game, ”The Garden of Eden game”, which offers a 5 billion yen prize.
The players are informed that if all of them can work together, they can all become winners.
However, the chances of winning are endangered by a mysterious player known as "Person X".

Found a full movie in youtube which you can watched below.




LIAR GAME: REBORN
For this movie, I still have not watched it yet.
But the main actress was changed to another girl I don't know why. D;
Hope to watch it soon.
By the way, I found a special episode for this movie.
I'm not sure if this is included inside the movie or not.
In the meantime, enjoy~



Overall Toda Erika and Matsuda Shota are prefect match in the show!
I love how they portray their roles in this show.
Matsuda Shota is so suave when he solved the game!
认真的男人真帅!

Sigh~ Nice show that attracts me always ended so fast.
I wished the game can go on forever~ Haha..

Quoted from the show: "This game isn't only about deceiving people, it is a game of seeing how far people can believe in others."
