Liar Game

More spoiler regarding the actual time we get in the finale... no plots or anything else are talked about here...

Spoiler — click to reveal

Ok, so I've gotten to the 1 hour and 33 mins mark and a new episode finally begins! So really we just technically get a regular new episode with a extended 12-15 mins to it really only. The first hour and 33 mins was a flashback of everything that has happened with some little new throwin's to how it got to those points. If you flashfoward then there's a good chance you will miss the new little throwin's to the flashbacks. Basically the first hour and 33 mins was a special leading up to the new episode. 3 hour finale like everyone thought? Nope! Try 2 hours and 25 mins with a hour and 33 mins of that as flashbacks.

Just watched the finale.

As feared, they turned it into a sappy melodrama, :bleh: while also managed to convert me into a Nao hater as well. :grumble:

I haven't watched the final yet but Nao gets on my nerve more than the mushroom guy does - I can understand the beauty of naivety but Nao is more moronic than naive. If Akiyama is stuck with her for another couple of episodes he might feel the need to have Nao joined his deceased mother by pushing the little idiot off the top of a building. :twisted:

Well, the flashback was necessary bc it could attract new viewers to watch it and boost the rating.The finale was airing at 9pm, not same as previous episodes(11.10~11.55).The viewership rating for the finale is 13.6%(highest for this drama) :applaud: That's really high bc Kuitan 2 finale was also airing at the same time on NTV.

They kept the commericals that aired in it too so is it even pass 2 hours? Hmm. The commericals are funny though. One of Gakki's NTT commericals is in there. LOL. I'm currently watching it RAW.

It was 3hrs with all the commercials. All CM breaks except the one you mentioned was removed. They probably missed that one.

yea seriously i luv that show its so awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hes too smart.eps 1-10 is avsilable at
www.crunchyroll.com!its free dunn worry :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
just try for ppl that havnt seen it :applaud:

I love this drama so much XD and most of the characters also~ why doe it get only 5 votes here in jdorama :crazy: Akiyama deserves so much more :hehe: and Shota gets like, 30-something votes :puppydog:

Loved eps 9&10, loved Yokoya's contact lenses and white hair XDDDD I dunno I thought he was kinda cool though a bit of an arse too.
I'm looking forwards to watching the grand finale, for those who have seen it... is it worth it? XD

Ah true the rest of the commericals would bring it to 3 hours. Makes more sense now. Duh me. :beatyou:

he makes a good Final Boss like in video games.

yea, the contacts are awesome :mrgreen: :nut: :nut:

Okie... just watched ep 10.....

Spoiler — click to reveal

I should have skipped the first 1 and a half hour. It was a recap of almost everything from 1-10. There's just a few short scenes in between which doesn't seem to effect the plot on the whole. Anyway the ending was rather disappointing. No 4th round (oh wait the old man says that 4th round is basically the society? kinda... boring) The last episode is not what I had expected it to be and never meant my expectation at all. Dunno bout you guys but I feel that the drama ending was sorta abrupt. Quite disappointed in it. 1-10 was nice though, they should just air 11 in like 1hr or so and cut away the unnecessary flashbacks.

I think they missed out this commercial during the edit. However I love it because I get to see Gakky! Kawaii! Get to see more of her starting from this sunday's Papa to Musume no 7 kakan!

Oh ya, I wanna get those roaches killing pot where they put in water? Japanese really like to invent queer stuffs.

is liar game nice?? i dunno y i dun quite like toda nowadays. =s

YES

Spoiler — click to reveal

like what everyone said. the first 1 and 1/2 hours was totally waste of time. perhaps it was the boredom of watching of the repetition from episode one that caused it to be a little disappointing. by the time it reached where it ended in the previous episode, i was almost rotting already. so i couldn't really appreciate the rest of the show.

and especially because the previous episodes have totally struck me in awe and admiration for the script writer, i had really high expectations of the last episode.

well i can't say i can come out with a better ending, but the ending doesn't sound like one that suits liar game. haha.

lol I totally agree. I hated the guy but his "look" is kinda cool. And then they do that green eye thingy haha. Too bad he didn't sniff anymore weed in ep 10. I was disappointed.

KT: The final boss has yet to come!

I need to get those subs for the finale. I can barely wait!

I get that. Being naive does get old after a while, especially when you know you are in a situation where people will lie.

I never read the manga (this drama is based on a manga right?) but I got a question for those who have read it. Did Nao act this naive? Cause maybe thats why they overdoing it a bit in the drama, to keep it as realistic to the manga as possible...

Only until the middle of the resurrection round, or you can argue until the end of that round.

The drama only followed the manga up to ep. 9.3, and obmitted a very important conversation after the resurrection round between Akiyama and Nao that made her started to doubt people. That's why I was so upset with what happened after ep. 9.3 and the finale, as Nao was her same old self (which makes NO sense), and the strategies used were just a rehash of what were used in the previous rounds. Round 3 in the manga is a lot more sophisticated, but honestly I wasn't really expecting the writer to be capable of coming up w/ something as clever as in the manga anyway, based on all the previous plot holes and logical gaffes which did not exist in the manga.

AAAHH!!! can't wait to watch the finale!!!

I didn't think of it but you're totally right!!! He'd fit right in as a Final Fantasy boss, ah hell he could be Kuja's brother...
The contacts rock!!! XD

@ ThyGriever - I loved to hate him XD he's one of those guys, but yes I really did love his look thought it was very cool. *Sits next to you and waits patiently for subs whilst eye twitches* XDDD
