This will be completely unbiased since I did not watch the japanese version or had any contact with the concept of `Liar Game` in general so bear with my hateful comments on how incredibly stupid everyone but the main lead guys and Jaime is. We don`t even have to mention Da Jung, right? That girl was prized with the whole world`s stupidity and she remained dumb until the very last episode. It`s all too annoying to take in when put together with the actress` puppy face - she overboards it the whole time! I really liked her in BBF but damn... her character had me angered and feeling like bitch slapping her to death!
The main lead isn`t great. Actually, he`s terribly dull with that pouty/grumpy expression 98% of the time when I believe he was going for an indifferent facade? Well... failure. On the other hand, Sung Rok completely nailed it. Again. It`s worth watching his performance at least. I watched him before in `My love from the stars` and he was brilliant so I was looking forward for his work and I was not disappointed. He`s terrific!
Now... as for the story I have near to no complaints. It`s interesting, different, appealing, clever and catchy. There was only one moment I felt bored but it was probably related to Da Jung`s background or something. The complex games had me focused, trying to anticipate events yet I failed most of the time - which is great imo. Things are generally very predictable on dramas... however... I did feel like they should`ve explored the main plot some more. Everything was tangled in the ending and it was hardly satisfactory. The ending was... enjoyable. I mean a stronger word but I`m not sure how to feel about it unless there`s a sequel.
Now... can anyone tell me why someone would toss and turn nonstop while tied to the one thing that can set them on fire? Unless they`re attempting suicide then I don`t get it and I really just rolled my eyes at all the dumb. In the end you just wonder if the main lead guys are too bright or just everyone else is too stupid.
xoxo, would recommend though.
