Liar Game



In fact, I don't really fancy the Japanese serial drama. However, my colleagues recommended I should watch this Japanese serial drama, Liar Game. He believed I would be liking this drama. Alright, I just followed his suggestion up since I had nothing to do at that moment.

THE SUMMARY

The story features Nao Kanzaki, a very naive and honest college student, receiving 100 million yen one day along with a card saying that she has been chosen to participle in the Liar Game, have "must" to trick other players into giving her their 100 million yen and leaving them in debt in order to win the game.

Her opponent is her former teacher, Kazuo Fujisawa deceives her so easily into giving her 100 million yen. She then discovers his true intentions, so she comes across Shinchi Akiyama, a genius swindler for a help to succeed winning the first round. To their dismay, a second round awaits them after the first round.

The second round is taken place in a mansion and the 22 players who won the first round participles as well. Instead of money, they are given a jewel worth 100 million yen each as "Game Money". They need to vote either "Yes" or "No" on random question and the minority of the result still remains while the majority leaves with a debt, 100 million yen again.

Shinichi joins as a substitute for someone who doesn't wish to continue in the game, wins the game, and then decides to divide the prize money to the people who had teamed up with him to win come so they could pay their debt. Because of being unable to play the cost of dropping himself out, he proceeds to the next round to find out who's behind it.

A week later, Nao receives an invitation to participle in the Liar Game Revival Round for those who lost previous rounds. She intends to win the Revival Round in order to get the money to pay cost for Shinichi to drop out. But her luck somehow turns to bad, everyone in this round is against her. Luckily Shinichi appears to help her to win.

Nao together with other players decides to proceed to third round with Shinchi then divides into two groups. A strange man joins one of its groups and becomes a rival to Shinichi. Who will win this last game? Will they able to capture the one behind it?

And my colleague was right. I have never watch such drama before and it makes me feel excited and curious at same time. I was wondering what is the purpose the person make Liar Game.. and the game system in each round is not very boring and dull because of the way of playing. Basically, the rules are still same but the way of playing differs from round to round. That's what makes me feel excited to watch.

By the way, this drama has gained the second highest viewer satisfaction rating for the season, in an Oricon survery. Wow, it's the best drama I ever watched! It's the first serial drama that made my heart kept pounding with its story development. I recommend you guys must watch this serial drama too, I insist!

Oh yeah, Liar Manga does exist in manga series that originally written and illustrated by Shinobu Kaitani. You can read this manga at http://www.onemanga.com/Liar_Game/. Enjoy yourself!
