Up to this blog is created, I’ve watched this drama 6 chapters.
Spoiler Warning! Episode 1 and 2 are about the 1st round of this LIAR GAME which Nao’s opponent is her former teacher in primary school. Akiyama can help her to win however she doesn’t aware of the next round of this game so she gives her reward to the teacher because of feeling pity towards him. At first, Nao makes her mind not going to the location where the game acts but again she is tricked and forced to participate the 2nd round. Akiyama comes to help her nevertheless ends up to be another participant. With his talent, he is the only one who wins this round and go to the 3rd round. Before the next round begins, Nao tries to contact Akiyama but she can’t reach him. Someone visits her to tell about Akiyama’s past. Nao wants to help Akiyama and she doesn’t want to leave him alone in the next game. She is tricked to participate in re-run game which she doesn’t know the truth that all the game is created to take a revenge to Akiyama and he doesn’t join this game by chance but someone wants him to take a part in this game since the beginning. Ending Spoiler.
My comment: I really enjoy watching this drama. Each episode has its goal to gain attention from me. Its soundtrack also creates the untrustable atmosphere like I couldn’t believe anyone except the main actress “Nao” however I felt that she is too sincere and sometimes she acts foolishly due to her kind heart. “Akiyama” looked beliveably in his swindle skill and I doubt his intention towards this game and Nao. However they get good chemistry between them which helps me to consider this drama as Romantic Thriller.
Looking forward to seeing other episodes until the last one and I’ll write about it again.
