THE LIAR GAME JAPANESE DRAMA SERIES
Nao's a bit on the stereotypical dim-witted heroine side, but there's noticeable growth in her character as the series progresses. He was the perfect Akiyama, cold and whip smart on the outside with just a streak of vulnerability. He's also brilliantly played by Matsuda Shota, whom I haven't liked as well in anything else. There's nothing more satisfying than watching him deliver his comeuppance right when it's least expected.
He's cold, but for understandable reasons, and his moments of insight are the best. The games are like riddles - there's always a hidden trick and a psychological slant to winning, and while Nao isn't the brightest bulb, Akiyama shines at this and manages to pull both of them through.Īkiyama is easily the best thing about both the show and manga. She enlists the help of former-convict (and very pretty man) Akiyama Shinichi to help her through Round 1, and from then on the two are linked in their journey to conquer the game and save its players. The game forces participants to outsmart and essentially lie their way to victory. The story is about a gullible girl, Kanzaki Nao, who one day finds $100 million yen on her doorstep and an accompanying invite to compete in the Liar Game.
I can also safely say the drama adaptation ranks in the top 10 of my all-time favorites and is both riveting and sexy to watch. Liar Game's an ongoing manga series and finished drama (with two seasons and a movie) that's quite possibly one of the most intelligently-written and suspenseful stories I've read. I had an intense marathon catch-up session on the past 70 or so chapters of the Liar Game manga, and thought I'd go ahead and review both the comic and the popular J-drama/movie from a few years ago.
