Okay, this time I want to write a review about one of the best dorama also, Liar Game!
This dorama is also adapted from a manga written by Shinobu Kaitani. I don't really know the manga and only watch the dorama, so I can't compare the dorama with the manga.
This dorama is a story about Kanzaki Nao (played by Erika Toda) which is very "baka shoujiki". I don't really know the exact word to explain "baka shoujiki", but I think it is best explained to be someone who is too honest until you look so stupid. Because Nao is very honest and stupid, she is easily fell for a lie or a trap, such as she got caught into a pitfall for 42 times, or when she nearly fell for a phone fraud which the caller is claiming to be her younger brother, when she is actually the only child in her house (I laughed so hard for this one, you can see this story in the introduction of the dorama in the episode 1).
One day, Nao is chosen to be a part of the liar game, a game where you need to trick other people to win. Desperately rejected when she went to the police for a help, she met Akiyama Shinichi (played by Matsuda Shota), a genius swindler who is just released from a prison. Reminded of his belated mother, Akiyama agreed to help Nao.
The dorama is parted in several season. Season 1 is aired on 2007 and season 2 is aired in 2009. Season 2 is the continuation of season 1, and it lasted until the semi-final game. The final game is aired on 2010 which is made into a movie. Several special episode like Liar Game Reborn, Fukunaga vs Yokoya, and Alice in Liar Game are also made afterwards.
I personally think the idea of the story itself is very genius. It's a really good story plot with a unique and extraordinary theme which is brought by the writer. You can see a lot of dorama about school life, about detective, or about love, but it's rarely to find this kind of dorama. It's kind of refreshing and brand new dorama theme.
The dorama is very recommended and I give 10 out of 10 points for this dorama! (again) ^^
