Kanzaki nao is supposed to be pure-hearted and honest to a fault, she wouldn't even be tempted to take the money. i mean, why incur the additional costs and risks anyway? I wish they didn't get the rights/title if they are going to make a different drama anyway. the host here, he's the exact same host in the quiz show - with is supposedly all-knowing facade, and arrogant nature, etc. So basically, the korean liar game is a mash-up of japanese liar game drama and japanese the quiz show drama. The korean liar game is different from the japanese liar game.īut the premise of the reality show is similar to the japanese drama the quiz show, which has two different japanese drama adaptations already.

Liar Game premieres on Monday, October 20, on tvN. But if he wants to find out what it is, he’ll have to stay in the game. He approaches the hero with a vague taunt/bribe/threat, insinuating that there’s something he doesn’t know (about his conviction, perhaps?). When she’s hounded by neighbors to repay her debts, he steps in and declares, “She’s mine.” So he’s in, but knows it’s an uphill battle, because he’s read her contract and there are iron-clad provisions in there.Īll the while, the producers of the Liar Game watch - one PD worries that they’ll drop out mid-show, but Shin Sung-rok is just enigmatic and smug. He starts to see that maybe she really is as nice and trusting as she seems, which is surely going to be her downfall. Lee Sang-yoon has no interest in hearing what she has to say and says he hates “people who confuse stupidity for niceness.” He tells her to wait for him in a dangerous alley to get rid of her - only to be shocked when she waits and waits and waits. So her buddy suggests she enlist some help, steering her toward our other lead, Lee Sang-yoon, a convicted scam artist and expert liar who’s being released tomorrow. Things aren’t that easy, and the heroine starts to realize she’s in way over her head. Then we see her asking a PD to cut her part out of the show, ashamed of the part where she was tempted to keep the money. She thinks the broadcast is the end of the game, only to be told, “It’s just the beginning.” Welcome to the Liar Game.īefore she knows it, the heroine is introduced to the show. That’s when Shin Sung-rok appears, dressed as a police officer and toting a camera crew, to reveal that she’s on a reality show. She looks furtively around, not sure if she should keep it, but ultimately decides to take it to the police, against the wishes of the beat-up-looking uncle? brother? who tries to stop her. The first teaser’s scenes are largely repeated in the longer one, and the clips show us the heroine, Kim So-eun, helping an elderly lady and being left with her bag… which contains a huge stash of cash. Sometimes these long highlights are hit or miss, because they’re long enough that they don’t get the same snappy trailer edit and that can mess with the pacing, but for Liar Game it just makes me more excited about the show. Liar Game premieres next week, and not only do we have a longer teaser giving us the premise of the show, but also a 5-minute preview of highlights from the first episode. 66 OctoOctoTrailer and highlights: Let the Liar Game begin by javabeans
