It's all right, different and requires some thought with the strategies implemented for each stage of the game. The final episode was kind of a let-down. I probably could have just watched that and skipped all the previous episodes. |

Just ok, script is bare and story going kinda slow, despite the female protagonist is doing good, could ve been better. Plot-wise, ep3 is getting better, only that pace could have been better...Plot-wise, maybe it's better to read the manga instead. |

The 3hr finale is really putting me off from completing this show. |
| 8. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 7/10]
Pretty different from most dramas. The story involves a gullible girl who is trapped in debt dealing with a game. She gains help from a swindler to get through these mind games. LOL but the ending..., all I can say that the premise for the guy starting Liar Game was kind of stupid. Basically the ending sorta killed it. |

i'm really getting tired of this fad of japan's CSI kind of story lines. the ones that are only interesting because they are intricate. the ending was pretty lame. still.. it wasn't as bad as death note LoL. |

It was ok since it's my first time watching jdrama in this genre. But I do have to admit that at times, the plot kinda bland and it's pretty easy to predict what happen next. |

I really had no expectations when coming in to watch this drama series. At first I thought it was some odd knock-off of the Hollywood movie "Saw". The antagonist in the series is dressed in a mask reminding me of Jigsaw and is on a tape that gives instructions to each player. The whole concept is overdone especially because it's a blatant rip off of the movie.
The acting and characters in this series are average at best. Toda Erika's character, Kanzaki Nao, is naive and innocent to the point of absurdity. The whole point of the game is lying and using the other person in order for your own gains, but she no matter what still ends up falling for their tricks. Luckily through the help of Akiya Shinichi (Matsuda Shota) a brilliant trickster, she's able to go through the tests and not acquire a 50 million debt.
The only redeeming part of the show that made it worthwhile was the actual logic puzzles. It was interesting how Akiyama Shinichi was able to solve all of them and play upon the other players' weaknesses. This leads to the other part of the show which touches upon the human complex - greed, trust, etc. That part is interesting, but it's nothing new.
Overall, it's an average drama in my opinion. The very last episode seemed like a waste to me though even though it was a 3 hour special. Most of it was flashbacks. |

Very interesting drama.... |
| 20. | Comments by akitsu [Rating: 4/10]
The end of the story was so shallow. The "bad guy" from the screen hasnt been explained at all. The scripts did not bring out the potential of this plot, which was truly promising. I liked the idea, the cast (I liked Matsuda in HYD much more) but there was just no drama. |
| 21. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 7/10]
it looked like it was a heavy drama...with lots of mathematical n reasoning...but it was quite ok...though the ending was abit boring..... |
| 22. | Comments by jess [Rating: 9/10]
WOOTS just finished this a few minutes ago!! It's WOWing. A little like kurosagi in the sense that the players had to go around "lying" and tricking other people. Basically a game with 4 rounds, and different game rules each round where people are supposed to cheat each other.. Though similar to kurosagi, it's much more intellectually satisfying. U have to think together with the plot in order not to get left behind going "huh? i don't get it" Nice ending too! i like it! |

| 24. | Comments by ruisu [Rating: ?/10]
Currently watching it, but I can tell this is pretty crappy writing. Good ideas bad, bad delivery. |
| 25. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 7/10]
Have only watched until episode 4 and got hooked. The leads are very charming and so far convincing (although Erica Toda´s persona is borderline annoying with her apparent (?) naivity). Let´s see what happens next but to remain really good, this series needs some twists and more surprises. Maybe it turns out to be a series that you watch only once but it´s fun. Compliments 4 the music! |
| 26. | Comments by masaki-chan [Rating: 8/10]
It's completely different from other dramas. I love Akiyama's way of thinking and dealing with things. Smart men are so sexy !!! xDDD |
| 27. | Comments by williu [Rating: 8/10]
Toda Erika can only play one role - the smiling fool. So she is perfect for this entertaining drama. The character development is weak, but the way the episodes unfold makes up for it. It's fast paced most of the time, and unique in some ways. Good! |
| 28. | Comments by digitalcoconut [Rating: 8/10]
exciting plot, cant wait to watch next episode (5th).. but im unconvince with the both leading characters.. |
| 29. | Comments by gto_girlz83 [Rating: ?/10]
a.k.a Liar Game..seem similar to Kurosagi.. will be watching..which one will be interesting?? |
| 30. | Comments by JackClark [Rating: 9/10]
Very interesting drama. Erika's character was very frustrating. Erika was very good in this drama. |

I love thsi drama !!! Akiyama san is so cute... Nao chan... Iku yo~ |
| 34. | Comments by UsopSama [Rating: 7/10]
An exciting series based on the manga of the same name; fans of the manga will find noticeable changes though. The story is centered around a game where participants lie and cheat large sums of money from other participants. Overall, the series is enjoyable and exciting to watch. The acting, I should point out, is over-dramatic! Unfortunately, the ending, like many series, is a bit lacking. |

An interesting drama with decent acting and a nice storyline. However, things are often way too predictable and certain special effects get annoying. |
| 37. | Comments by Sehla Mizerable [Rating: 10/10]
One of the Best drama in 2007. I love the suspense and its a very clever drama. Well thought out story.
I hope there'll be a second season.
reminds me of Death Note sumhow.. both are psychological thriller. |

| 41. | Comments by zhirong [Rating: 8/10]
Started off a little shaky. Middle plot was good. End plot took a slight dip. Overall not a bad drama but the 3 hrs (Well, 2hrs + without the CM) finale was.. how would I put it, unsatisfactory. |
| 42. | Comments by adrxuan [Rating: 8/10]
the game was exciting! |
| 43. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 5/10]
Not a good dorama... and it gets really boring after a while...
Even Kurosagi (wich i didnt like) was somewhat better than this one..
Toda Erika did a good job playing her char. but the rest of the casting didnt help her... Matsuda Shota is really annoying (i mean.... he did a good job in HYDs... but i guess he didnt quite fit his char in Liar Game...)
Liar Game is a poor dorama... the casting is bad... The only i thing i REALLY enjoyed was the OST.!!! |

| 45. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 6/10]
Hmmm. I like Toda Erika. But this dorama left a cheap impression on me. Not only that it had a low-budget, but it was produced without the will to create something good. Very ugly scene surroundings and decoration. It's only a cheap manga remake. Though there was some suspense in some episodes, Toda Erica acted well too. |
| 46. | Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 8/10]
Firstly, everything about Liar game is over the top, and perhaps appropriately so as the dialogue/acting is so miniscule you barely think that they're playing for ridiculous amounts of money. While I think Erika Toda did an OK job, I still merely see her as something pretty to look at and I believe she would progress better as an actress in a more serious role or a uni-type drama like orange days/honey clover where she can utilize her beauty, so to speak. Matsuda Shota mildly impressed me and I appreciate the fact that he's looking for different sorts of roles post-Hana Yori Dango (Oguri Shun, take note of this!) Overall though, a good drama that has entertaining moments that keep you guessing and confused. |
| 47. | Comments by karen412 [Rating: 10/10]
The best drama ever!! Very nice story! and Matsuda's so hot! |
| 48. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 1/10]
I couldn't watch this show...the acting was robotic and the plot seemed stupid.. there was a lack of creditability in the show..deleted from hard drive ...
sorry....doesn't Matsuda Shota ever smile....? |
| 49. | Comments by agp_frick [Rating: 8/10]
I really enjoyed the first episode... Erika Toda is impressing, as always. |
| 50. | Comments by nienna [Rating: 7/10]
so scary... but it's very thrilling to watch. like akiyama, i want to know the person who is charge of hosting the liar game tournament. |
| 51. | Comments by shunrei [Rating: 10/10]
Matsuda, Shota is the only one that's really hot in this JDorama! In Liar Game, he's soo smart! |

Different from other dramas, but surely too long. |
| 56. | Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 9/10]
I enjoyed the drama, even though I got the message of the drama from episode one. They just had to exaggerate everything and used extreme cases, which sometimes in very unbearable to watch. Other than that, it was really entertaining to watch. I am definitely more of a Nao-chan. BUT I'm just stupid, not pure. lol |
| 57. | Comments by eftermiddag [Rating: 4/10]

I'm not totally done with this series yet, but this has to be my favorite drama that I have seen so far I love the suspense and Matsuda's character is so cool! |
| 59. | Comments by natni [Rating: 8/10]
I love the twist of the game...the creator is a genius....luv it....just hate akiyama's hair....it's annoying.... |
| 60. | Comments by Kugashira [Rating: 4/10]
Toda and Matsuda did really good acting, but the plot was completely nonsensical. Skip this unless you're a big fan of Toda. |
| 61. | Comments by altec [Rating: 10/10]
Erika and Matsuda are awesome. The show had such good twists and turns. |
| 62. | Comments by iadoreyooh [Rating: 7/10]
This drama was great until the ending.
Oh man, the ending... it wasn't necessarily the ending, but just the very last episode and the way they did it killed me. |
| 63. | Comments by opospa [Rating: 8/10]
Love Toda Erika. She is cute when she acts as a very naive girl. And Matsuda Shota, dont really looks like his brother. Ryuhei. = p |
| 64. | Comments by .posse [Rating: 9/10]
cool and interesting drama. i would have given it a 10 if not for the unnecessarily long and lame ending. |
| 65. | Comments by serebi [Rating: 8/10]
The whole series is really good, the way it presents the problems all they characters have to go thru and the solutions that they come to for solving those problems is very amusing. It also has a message about not doing bad to others regardless of how much they have put you thru, there is always forgiveness. By taking revenge you will not have peace but only more suffering.
The final episode is just a little bit too long and slow for me in terms that it pretty much summarizes all the episodes and the viewers attention gets lost. Also, the few new pieces of the story that this episode presents are just too few for the view to keep an interest in the whole episode without fast forwarding it. That is why it gets an 8. |
| 66. | Comments by expanzee [Rating: 7/10]

| 69. | Comments by PureYuki [Rating: 10/10]
Amazing! the games are so smart and puzzling. Ending could have used a bit remolding, though i can't justify how a 3 hour ending can be comprised with half of recap and half of real content. Though i really wished they should have just did a 3 hour content of the last ep. High hopes for Liar Game 2. |
| 70. | Comments by bubblieri [Rating: 9/10]
The only reason I'm holding back on giving this drama a 10 is because of Toda Erika. She was starting to get on my nerves and her whole acting dumb and I don't know. She was just slow and I guess it got to me. Matsuda Shota saved the drama for me and it was a pretty good thinking drama :p I enjoyed finishing this drama and would recommend it. |
| 71. | Comments by Jhvx [Rating: 9/10]
Very thrilling dorama, cool soundtrack, also Erika Toda and Matsuda Shota did very well their roles, perhaps my only complaint is that the plot advances very slowly. Moreover, I think the antagonist, Yokoya-san is very cool |
| 72. | Comments by tachan [Rating: 9/10]

| 73. | Comments by dheng19 [Rating: 8/10]

| 74. | Comments by joychin [Rating: 2/10]
This is DEFINATELY one of the worst dramas i've ever watched... .You won't believe how many time the camera actually focused on each and everyone of the cast just to film them with the shocked expression. SOOOO many times! And their expressions were......blek.....horrible and disgusting(i know i sound really mean but that is what i really feel...).. .The main girl.......i think her acting was so fake... .If it wasn't for matsuda shota,i would have stopped watching ages ago (but i finished it in the end =.=). THe interesting thing about this drama is the strategies and the mental games. Other than that,i think it's not worthwhile to watch this drama. |

| 76. | Comments by lesamouraifou [Rating: 8/10]
Really fun. but some actors are overacting sometimes. the end was a bit deceiving cause the last episode was just a sum up of the others. |
| 77. | Comments by jiroukirihara [Rating: 9/10]
Intriguing games... Toda was a bit too cutesy... jin saved the show... the eccentric characters and bad haircuts were tolerable, but the maniacal laughter... would get a 10 but the finale was 70 percent recap... felt like dragonball |
| 78. | Comments by poopiefish [Rating: 7/10]
This is really Death Note-like. It's basically game theory in drama. If you're interested in that kind of stuff, then you'll surely enjoy this series. The male lead was pretty convincing. I actually liked Erika Toda in this one. The message behind the story is really touching, yet it has a lot more potential than what was brought out here. |
| 79. | Comments by marspeach [Rating: 7/10]
Nice start but then the game got repetetive. Had a couple really funny moments but not enough. Watch at least for the good-looking leads. |
| 80. | Comments by yurifly [Rating: 9/10]
After watching tons of idol drama with tons of cheesy romance, I needed something else. Psychological thriller fits right to the bill and I couldn't stop watching. The premise seems predictable enough, a gullible girl in a cruel world and a hero who saves the day, albeit in an unusual way and that goodness wins. Yes there wasn't much character development but I liked the drama for simple reasons: the world is cruel. As annoyed as I was by how stupid Nao can be, but there is a heartwarming message that maybe, somewhere, no matter how small, there is still hope if you can just believe and be true to yourself. I have always liked Toda Erika's acting and she fits her innocent character. And what can I say about Matsuda Shota. This guy never fail to amaze me with his performance...it's probably the acting gene in him. I never think he was particularly good looking, and judging from his appearance in variety shows, he's not very interesting either, unlike Johnny idols whose presence always entertain. But when it comes to his acting, there is no doubt that he is a natural. He just seems to exude confidence and charisma in his acting and that's hot. Now, the setting of this drama doesn't particularly stand out, but I have to say that I totally love the opening credit. I normally fast forward those kinda parts, but the concept of opposing red and black sofas...and red dress, black suits, damn...it's sexy, for lack of better word. I didn't give it a 10 because i thought the ending with all the recaps was unnecessary and fukunaga's annoying laugh is overplayed |

Game was so interesting |
| 82. | Comments by Dark^3nforc3r [Rating: 3/10]
Interesting games... But pretty tiring to watch at times... Bad acting by both lead character... and I hate Kanzaki Nao in the story... She's so freaking irritating wif her 'oh-the-world-is-so-beautiful-character'... Gimme a break... She's juz plain stupid... And the way everyting turned out to be fine at the end is juz so unrealistic... It's a harsh world we r living in.. Humans wun change their ways juz for one stupid gal... sigh... First time i hate a character so much... |

BEST BEST BEST BEST dorama!!!! I finished it one day. I couldn't stop watch it! This dorama are a lot of squeeze and surprise! Watch it! |
| 85. | Comments by jekert [Rating: 3/10]
At first, I thought it was a very interesting drama. I liked the whole concept behind the Liar Game but as the story progressed, I got pissed at the lead role's stupidity and the corniness of her leading man's strategies. Although I give props to the very creative solutions to problems (I tried solving them myself but couldn't), 90% of the time, I was praying this drama would end already. Being a jdrama enthusiast means having to watch the drama through till the end. Didn't get any better though.:( |
| 86. | Comments by ayatoda [Rating: 10/10]
Loved it...even though Erika's character was a bit naive,Matsuda complemented her well;)It was great watching it. |
| 87. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 3/10]
I was really bored with this drama. skipped a few episodes but the ending is as shallow as the whole plot |
| 88. | Comments by rahci akumatsu [Rating: 10/10]
i already watch it for 10 times.. because i like the story it's puzzling...
and because i love this kind of story..
i'm not bored watching it..
actually the drama is really based on the manga..
i really like the actor especially matsuda shota
in his role shinichi akiyama..
some people don't like this drama maybe because they don't like thinking...
the character of nao kanzaki is really annoying because she's too honest and easily trust people.. that's why she deceived several times..
for me, this drama show that even though how evil you are.. you have a good side... and there's hope to come ^_^ |

The character Nao really influenced me. I rooted for her, got mad at her, sympathized with her, worried about her... The male lead is far better than Yamashita at being a swindler. And the games are all very interesting. The cinematography, the mood, the music are all great. I just wish that there are more adept swindler in the game. |

This starts off with poor acting and a weird atmosphere given by the BGM’s but getting past episode 1 & 2 is the key to really get interested in the entire series. Episode 3 until 11 was really as suspense as ever. Added thrills from characters such as Fukunaga Yuji & Yokoya. I don’t know but this series kind of reminds me of the anime “HunterXHunter” except for the killings. |
| 100. | Comments by IkematsuSosuke [Rating: 8/10]
This movie was enjoyable even though it was predictable. The OST was excellent. I did not like the 'villain' of the series. His reason was kinda lame. It's a good watch, nice suspense. |

Up to date - my favorite among more or less serious doramas. I've been psychology-maniac for a long time so this dorama just clicked with smth in my head. lol And just to say I wanted to only compare another dorama with it... This dorama really bugs you for a long time after seeing it. The idea is astonishing and the actors job was done really good. Want more of such thing(s)). |
