yeah it really a good drama to watch...but i kind fell so sick when there is a part that Toda Erika plays a dumb honest girl.. yet she is cute

This is really a great drama series to watch. Liar Game challenges your mind and I love how honesty was shown to be an asset in the end, despite the game obviously making it a fault in a person's personality.

Review of Liar Game:

I give this drama series 93% rating. I think the actor, Shota Matsuda, really played his part well as Akiyama, the genius swindler. Although I couldn't say the same thing for Erika Toda. Then again, it's pretty hard to pretend to be a super dumb person, which Kanzaki Nao is - an incredibly naive and easy-to-fool person.

Despite its dumb protagonist, this is a one-of-a-kind mind-games type of drama that makes it exciting to watch (on this I agree with reaker850327).

I really dig the second game, where the minority rules, for once. Akiyama is right, in every game, chance does not play a role. Everything can be won or lost depending on how good the player is at psychology and reading the minds of the other players. I found this jdorama incredibly exciting. The only loophole in it was that it needed Kanzaki Nao to be stupidly naive for all the games to be shown. But over-all, it's a must-watch!

Hmm... I've seen this title pop up quite a few times over the past few days. I might check it out soon! Seems like people are giving pretty good ratings/reviews too!

this drama can be watched also in youtube... its a nice and tricky drama..if i may say so..
