I really liked Choi Sung Joon and Lee Shi Hoo did such a good job! He is so adorable! The other characters were good too and the actors played their part well.Įnding: My thoughts are really conflicted about the ending. I'm guessing the latter was supposed to be that way but I didn't like Yoon Joo any better either. I don't know why but I found Lee Yoon Joo (PD) and Director Jang really irritating. I hated Jamie at first but she redeemed herself and I even somewhat admired her (especially after the President Game). He was a nice guy and I felt sorry for him. And I liked his relationship with Nam Da Jung. He added some laughs to an otherwise serious drama. Out of the side characters I really liked Jo Dal Goo. Maybe because his character had more depth in this drama. He was awesome in that one but I liked him better here. He did a great job in both but in the former he played a similar scary psychopathic character. I've seen Shin Sung Rok in You Who Came From The Stars and Trot Lovers.

But at the end I felt so sorry for him, no matter how twisted he was. Some of his scenes really scared me, the ones in which he "took off his mask" and showed his true face.

Anyway, there's no doubt that he was a very interesting character and from day one you start wondering: who is this man? What is his story? How is he related to everything? What game is he really playing? You can never guess though. Or maybe I was the only one who felt that way about him. Kang Do Young was such a mysterious and creepy character but also cool in a way little kids find superheroes cool. That man plays creepy characters so well it actually scares me! No one could have played Kang Do Young better than Shin Sung Rok. My favorite character was Kang Do Young and Shin Sung Rok is the reason I started this drama in the first place. While her character in Liar Game wasn't that different from her character in BOF she did do a good job and was likable and relatable. I've seen her only in Boys Over Flowers and I loved her there. She became more confident and smart but still kept her innocence. She seemed very real and honestly if I, or any other person (unless they were really cunning & smart) would have been in her place we would have easily been played as well. Many people were angry at Nam Da Jung and said that she was stupid. I haven't seen any of his other works but to me, I feel like he will always be Ha Woo Jin. Lee Sang Yoon did an awesome job playing him. He was someone whom if I met in real life I would be in awe. That didn't stop him from being super cool. But the best part was that he was a softie at heart which was sweet. He was a genius and I was very impressed with how he thought. Ha Woo Jin was such an intriguing character. The pure genius of the games and then the genius of the players, especially Ha Woo Jin, was so exciting to watch! Story wise, this drama was great! It had perfect pacing and there was never a dull or boring moment.Īctors/Characters: All of the characters were really well-written and the actors did a great job playing them. My favorite part was definitely the games. It always kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing what would happen next. The games, how the players tackled the situations, especially the mystery about Kang Do Young. Story: I was hooked from the beginning to the end. But I read that the Korean version is different from the Japanese. It was one hell of a drama! I haven't seen the Japanese version so I had no idea about the story.

I went into Liar Game without any expectations but I was pleasantly surprised.
