can’t wait for this new drama..
October 3rd, 2014 at 10:06 am
why only 12 episode?
i hope 16 episode
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:37 pm
only 12 eps ?? so fast~
October 4th, 2014 at 2:26 am
Why now Korea always remake the Japanese drama or Manga?
October 4th, 2014 at 3:15 am
@ayu
Its the trending right now in their industry to make remake of japan manga and their dramas….
Like 2 years ago the trend was time traveling dramas and the most recent trends was about cheating spouses and remarriage.
October 4th, 2014 at 3:26 am
@Ayu
Yes I agree with you..
Korean drama take so many Japanesse Dorama that had many awards in their dramas. And I know that’s proof of quality of Japanesse Dorama.
Do you think that the script writter in Korea have no good idea for their drama?? Or Japanesse Dorama exactly better than Korean Drama??
October 4th, 2014 at 11:46 am
Omg i can’t wait for this drama <3333 We finally get to see Kim So Eun again c:
October 5th, 2014 at 12:16 am
I think this will be a very interesting drama but why just only 12 episodes?
October 5th, 2014 at 11:20 am
if you are a true manga and J drama fan you understand why it is only 12 eps..this drama is not meant to be a romancey drama….!!
October 5th, 2014 at 11:25 am
@Snoopy I believe that JDRamas have way better plots than Kdramas its not always about a romance or one crazy disease for people to fall in love, its about suspense comedy trueness. so many kdramas that recreate mangas are never true to the plot and they end up messing up the story line..I have watched this drama but the Japanese version and I have read the manga and I really have high expectations I really hope that they portray everything well and don’t emphasis a romance because romance is not that big in this drama
October 6th, 2014 at 9:52 am
I’ve seen the trailer and their reading script.. and I guess I’m gonna watch it
October 7th, 2014 at 1:37 pm
npanood q japanese version nito.. one of my fave mystery drama.. excited for dz korean version..
October 10th, 2014 at 6:36 pm
My adorable LSY…..cnt w8…luv u loadzzzzz!wishn u lots of success n goodluck in ur career n diz project….*fightingggggggg* x0x0
October 11th, 2014 at 12:30 am
i like Lee sang yoon’ s look in this poster, look like the fierce man that get more interesting. Wish this drama is successful.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:37 am
Shin Sung Rok….. his acting is really good.
will definitely watch it
October 12th, 2014 at 4:18 am
this looks interesting!!
October 14th, 2014 at 5:15 am
Since I don t read “Mangas”. I get lucky and do not have to worry if the plot is the same or not. A drama is a drama and whether the plot resembles a preconceived idea or not does not matter as long as the story ends up being good.
As to JDramas or KDramas, I watch both and like them equally, many times a Japanese drama is more fun because they are shorter and I don t always have the patience for a sixteen to twenty your saga. I also find that I like the soft sound of these languages since I don t speak either Japanese or Korean.
October 14th, 2014 at 5:32 am
oh my god … just 6 day . i can’t wait
lee sang yoon <3 you are the best
October 14th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
This drama looks interesting.. I like the story and the lead actor n actress.. Will wait for it!!!
October 17th, 2014 at 11:32 am
123
October 20th, 2014 at 7:08 pm
I want 16 not 12
October 21st, 2014 at 10:33 pm
yes this drama is intersting well
October 22nd, 2014 at 6:43 am
This drama is good and im glad it’s 12 episodes. That means the writer probably has the writing and plot locked in tight. There’s no space for dragging, useless characters/sideplots and a bunch of staring in the name of romance. I’m so glad there’s no romance in this drama either although i bet they will hint at it a bit. Just their deep trust for each other will be enough.
October 22nd, 2014 at 3:30 pm
For ep 1 and 2
Wow! tVN really hit it off….just like always….
I watch the japanese version and honestly I’m the avid fan of the japanese version but I have to hands it up to tVN members….
The plot and storyline is a little bit different but it didn’t bit off what liar games has to offers.
All the gist, the feel and the excitement that audiences looking for are there….they did a good job so far for this remake…
I hope they can maintain the momentum…
p/s: hope tomorrow cantabille(remake) crew can do a job as good as this…i found it dull after the 3rd episode.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:29 pm
Wow THIS IS SO GREAT!
Shin Sung Rok’s drama is always good!
He must be the lucky charm.
.
October 23rd, 2014 at 1:44 am
Yes i love the great storyline…a little bit different than Jversion,,love the cast,,,interesting to watch,,,
October 23rd, 2014 at 2:33 am
love the show
October 24th, 2014 at 4:53 am
This drama is so good!
October 24th, 2014 at 10:03 pm
This drama is really really good!!!! The actors are doing great as well <33 cant wait to watch the rest of the episodes
October 25th, 2014 at 10:33 pm
Kim So Eun was great in “Boys Over Flowers”….I really hope that her and Kim Beom get together as the main characters in a Korean Drama. It’s just a dream of mine. WOW Lee Sang Yoon get the second main role in this year, first with Koo Hye Sun (main character in “Boys Over Flowers”) in Drama “Angel Eyes”, and now the second one in ”Liar Game”, Congratulations 🙂
October 26th, 2014 at 3:04 pm
Love this drama..hope it will be aired in more 12 episodes,,,kim so eun is so great with the main lead man…
October 26th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
I’ve just watched the first 2 eps. Wow….it has a different feel. There’s mystery here but different from a thriller. It feels like watching Hollywood’s genre of riddles and legal/illegal stealing by a group of genius people.
The 3 main leads are great bringing up the mystery feel. I support this drama. Another interesting drama from TVN after Marriage Without Dating. Hahahah…
October 26th, 2014 at 9:02 pm
wooww…. lee sang yoon in here was soo cooll :B
October 27th, 2014 at 1:19 pm
Lee Sang Yoon…. make me want to watch this…..♡♥♡♥
October 27th, 2014 at 7:31 pm
Watched the 2 ep and am hooked.
Very interesting drama
October 27th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
The story of this Kdrama is interesting 🙂 I am hooked on it!
October 27th, 2014 at 11:07 pm
What will happen with Cha Woo Jin and Nam Da Jung??? I hope they won’t become a rival for the future game.. can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait!
October 27th, 2014 at 11:51 pm
W0w , woW , W0W !!! Interesting ~ Fresh new drama line ^^ looking forward !!!
October 28th, 2014 at 11:21 am
Love this drama. Awaiting availability of all episodes in my region. Hope to watch the full drama soon.
October 28th, 2014 at 9:47 pm
Love kim so eun and sang yoon,,,love the couple,,great cast and story,,thanks tvN
October 28th, 2014 at 11:33 pm
love this drama <3. I like a kind of a "thinking/strategical" story.
October 29th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
lee sang yoon drives me crazy.. he is so perfect in this drama. looking clever, brave, and very misterious person.. also.. a handsome guy :p
October 29th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
u can watched at gooddrama or dramania app for android
October 30th, 2014 at 1:02 am
Lee sang Yoon is awesome here 🙂 his new image suits him well. I enjoy the thrill of this drama. Wow, it feels so great to see LSY again 😍
October 31st, 2014 at 2:43 pm
good drama!
Hwaiting Lee Sang Yoon!!
October 31st, 2014 at 10:45 pm
i love this kdrama! Shin Sung Rok rocks!
November 1st, 2014 at 1:09 am
why this drama has low rating, i think rating should be betwenn(15 to 20) 🙁
November 1st, 2014 at 1:14 am
Lee sang Yoon is very talented actor, and he suit that kind of role .
November 1st, 2014 at 5:29 am
Enjoying this kdrama so much. I hope it will be extended, more than 12 eps.
ahh.. i would like to see the romance side between Prof Ha & Da Jung 😀
November 1st, 2014 at 12:56 pm
Yes i loveis drama.. entertaining story, challenging game and trust lesson are included in the drama…hope the rating will achieved in MORE than 3…
November 2nd, 2014 at 9:30 pm
I’m hooked with this drama…been looking for LSY old drama coz want to watch him, glad to know his new drama came out and the story line is pretty good also (eventhough I can guess it..hehehe). Btw, since I’m from Indonesia, I also surprise and proud to see Jo Dal Goo wearing Indonesia batik in the begining of 2nd episode (while he and da jung waiting from professor Ha came out from jail)…looking forward to the next episodes 🙂
November 4th, 2014 at 4:55 am
at first I think it is a wonderful serie and brilliant. but in ep 4 , in final voting if the three of jami and other two want to win , they had to vote two NO and one yes (which agreed to bo song jun chi ) but it came to be three Yes . my question is where the Jami’s yes card came ? and when kang do young read the Jami’s yes card , jami didn’t suprise , I think there was a inaccuracy. please answer me thank you .
November 5th, 2014 at 2:19 am
Wow!! Professor Ha is too sexy!! I just love watching him and the way he outsmarts everyone.
Love the story, but damn, can anyone be as forgiving/trusting as DJ? Not in my world, once bitten twice shy.
November 5th, 2014 at 5:39 am
So professor Ha made LCompany went under, but DJ dad invested in that company and loose all his money. Now professor is going to feel obligated to DJ to help her pay off the loan sharks debt.
Is the game show host having a crush on DJ?? I am not liking him at all. He seems so fake! Why did he tell her all that about professor Ha, then sai I don’t mean to burden you. Yes you did!!
DJ is making me sick to annoyance! How on earth can someone be so stupid. The girl lied to you took your stars and then you are going to make a bet with her on cards. I am sorry, but that’s just dumb. DJ, I know it good to be nice and kind to people, but you have to be a little more keen to human behavior.
November 5th, 2014 at 8:45 pm
Is this drama have a love story?
November 5th, 2014 at 11:11 pm
Ep2 was really good.
Professor Ha came just in time to rescue DJ. That show host give me the creeps, but ther is something mysterious and attractive about him. Hahaha!
@0609
I am not sure if there is going to be a love connection between professor Ha and DJ, but I would love to see one.
November 6th, 2014 at 10:31 am
Yes , the main prob is DJ dumbness. Too bad her character is a way too naïve..
While prof Ha and Do Young character is too great
November 6th, 2014 at 1:16 pm
love this drama, i watched japanese version but i like korean version
November 8th, 2014 at 12:40 pm
Wooow…
This drama is getting more and more interesting. I’m curious about who Kang Do Young is and how he knew the connection between HWJ’s mom, DJ’s dad and the L company. Is he related to the orphanage managed by WJ’s mom? He knew her personally?
@alee…I noticed that batik, too. I was like….wow that shirt has a familiar pattern! Batik! kekekekke….
I always like movie or drama with a mind game like this. I don’t care about the rating, moreover this drama is aired on pay tv channel.
So…If I have to give rating on the range of 10, I’ll give it 8. If DJ can use a slight of strategic thinking, it will make her character even more interesting…I can give it 9…huhah!

November 10th, 2014 at 9:46 am
I can’t imagine a KDrama without a bit of romance…hope there is one for WJ and DJ 😃 this can be considered a twist knowing that the Jdrama version did not have one. LSY is truly gorgeous!!!
November 10th, 2014 at 10:11 am
@alee – you MUST see LSY in ‘my daughter, seoyoung’. I can promise you that you will surely fall for him ’cause I did! 😃
November 10th, 2014 at 10:20 am
@alee – and also ‘Angel eyes’ which was aired early this year in Korea. My girl office mates go gaga over him because ‘Angel eyes’ is being aired now here in the Philippines every night 😃
November 10th, 2014 at 5:49 pm
I’ve watch for six episodes.. and I love this drama so muchhhh… wait for ep 7-8.. waa tvn have misaeng and liar game… love these two dramas…
November 11th, 2014 at 12:42 am
@AnnieMac
What are reactions of Fil in Angel eyes? 🙂
November 11th, 2014 at 5:50 am
I l’île This drama
November 12th, 2014 at 7:49 pm
Hey guys, Dal Go is still wearing batik hahaa… I’m very proud, I’m indonesian too 😀
Oh LSY drives me crazy, he is so hottt in this drama.. Daebak!!! Compare with Akiyama-san (jap version), i prefer Woo Jin
Kiss scene please, SW-nim…
November 12th, 2014 at 10:52 pm
i wonder why the ratings is still at range of 0.8-1.5 when in fact the drama is very good
November 13th, 2014 at 2:16 am
wow…… great acting by Shin Sung Rok & Lee Sang Yoon. the drama is so good, so intense. i’ve never read the manga but really am enjoying the drama. looking forward to see Ha Woo Jin unravels the mystery of Kang Do Young and what will happened at the end.
November 13th, 2014 at 10:29 pm
@hannah – we all love AE 😊 I watched this already on-line but I cannot get over it… I am watching this again. I so love this KDrama with LSY. Fave topic in the office during lunch break 😄
November 13th, 2014 at 10:33 pm
I just saw ep8 and I can’t help but pity LSY. I got so affected 😔 that’s maybe because he was so effective in delivering his role… So excited to watch the rest of the episodes. LSY is awesome!
November 13th, 2014 at 10:35 pm
.. #leesangyoon i love you. more drama here in yhe philippines
November 13th, 2014 at 10:57 pm
.. iloveyou #leesangyoon. from philippines i hope you can visite here
November 14th, 2014 at 11:57 pm
Is Kang Do Young getting more creepy? Yes, yes, yes. What the heck is he,a cyborg? I am so curious of his identity. Was he a part of an experiment in the USA? What is he really after? Did he invest in LCompany and if so why take the lost so serious.
It seems like a personal vendetta, was Professor Ha mother related to him in some way? I am just catching at straws.
Looking forward to ep 9.
November 18th, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Hello guys, who watch “Liar Game” here ! 🙂
Please, don’t forget to vote “Liar Game” to be The Best Korean Drama of 2014. Although the chance is not so big, but I hope this drama can be BIG 5 drama in this year, because the story & the character is so damn good ! hehehe :). Gomawo
November 19th, 2014 at 1:58 am
The moment i saw Min-kyung i was soooo happy… i missed to see him in dramas.
The best part is that it is soo annoying which makes it even more cute, DJ’s character.
The story and the setting is refreshing and nice to watch. This drama has transformed the k-drama concept most people had, I respect that. It is so good so far, hope for even more fantastic turn of events. I’m on ep 9.
I’d recommend this drama to just about anyone. It is a must see K-drama!!!! Good work everyone.
November 19th, 2014 at 2:54 am
