Review of Liar Game

Liar Game (2007–2010)
7/10
The manga's style is translated, but not always the substance
26 March 2014
Liar game is based on a Japanese comic, a manga, and you'd expect Japanese peeps to transfer the series into a different media perfectly. Well, there are a couple of issues.

It's actually really good, acting is great and manga-like. It's very stylish and the games get explained in a nice way so you can follow everything, as it's based on a manga where you'd have to reread a lot of lines.

The only thing that's annoying is that not everything stays true to the manga, plot line is a bit more dramatic and they made some character changes, which bothers me.

If you're unfamiliar with the manga, you'll probably like this cunning thriller full of mindgames.
