I see the message of her character in the manga being that you don't have to be stupid to be a good person.

She retains her belief in humanity and desire to help others while learning how to be a bit more canny and play the game. I don't know whether to be happy about this news or not!īy the way, for those who are curious about the heroine, at the beginning she is described as "foolishly honest," sort of a innocent, naive type who is in way above her head, but she goes through a lot of character development and is able to hold her own later on. On the other hand, the manga isn't actually finished, so I guess they have to change some things in order to provide resolution.

It could be awesome if done right, but the Liar Game host is the antagonist? That's different from the manga, so it has me worried. Is this going to be based on the manga or the jdrama? Because the manga is one of my all-time favorites, but I was disappointed in the jdrama.

It’s also gratifying to see his career finally picking up steam in the wake of You From Another Star, because he’s flown under the radar for so long. Shin Sung-rok will play the Liar Game’s inscrutable host and analyst who comes into conflict with hero Lee Sang-yoon, and if we know anything about Shin Sung-rok, it’s that he gives good villain. The psychology degree must be one of his assets in reading the other people, as the show-within-the-show’s format is described as a “psychological survival game”-so, lots of persuasion, deception, and mindfuckery. Lee Sang-yoon’s character is a former psychology professor at Seoul National University (which is Lee’s own alma mater, by the way, which he graduated from with a physics degree), but he’s also an ex-con swindler.

Kim So-eun sounds like the perfect choice to play a young woman whose honesty makes her an easy mark (with a spine underneath the niceness, I hope?).
#WTACH THE LIAR GAME JAPANESE DRAMA SERIES#
The series comes from PD Kim Hong-sun (of Warrior Baek Dong-soo and OCN’s Hero) and writer Yoo Yong-jae ( Time Between Dog and Wolf), all of which seem like good credits to have when prepping a psychological thriller drama. When she falls victim to the other player instead, her former teacher, she loses her money and, in desperation, asks a consummate swindler to help her win the game. Liar Game is a remake of a Japanese drama of the same name, itself an adaptation of a manga, and is set around a literal game based on lying: The heroine is sent a mysterious note inviting her to join the Liar Game and given a huge amount of money, and she is instructed to somehow trick the other player out of their sum. Here’s an interesting possible lineup: Lee Sang-yoon ( Goddess of Fire Jung-yi), Kim So-eun ( Horse Healer), and Shin Sung-rok ( You From Another Star) are all currently in talks to star in tvN’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama Liar Game. 99 SeptemNovemKorean remake of Liar Game lines up its cast of liars and swindlers by javabeans
