Charismatic Character Posters Drop for Liar Game as Filming Begins on tvN Thriller

View Comments

• Lee Sang-yoon doesn't look or feel like Akiyama to me, and being scruffy doesn't add anything to it. I just don't get the constant remakes of jdramas, it's annoying.

  • I actually don't mind these cross country adaptation as long as they can make a good effort.

    But I too don't see Lee Sang Yoon as Akiyama. He doesn't look menacing and sneaky. Well.. it's only a poster and I'm not his fan, so I might be biased and this will not be bad.

  • why it must be lee sang yoon? :'( he looks too old as Akiyama.

• Both guys look good & mysterious to me. I'm part of those who are disappointed by the channel this year: Only Gap Dong pleased me (in their defense, the others had their share of bad shows). I'm all for tvN redeeming itself and if thrillers are their thing then I'm fine with that. I didn't watch the Jdorama either so it will be a surprise for me as well. Not sure I'll watch this live: I'll probably marathon once it's over.

  • Wise decision. If the k-version is as good as the j-version, you will be groaning at the TV for the next episode to air already

• Mookie have u watch we got married of kim so eun and song jae rim? I rarery watch wgm but this couple have hook me up and i watch on replay...they are so cute and mature together!

• I really like the tvN shows ! They're really great. It's sad they will only make 10 episodes of Surplus Princess because it's really funny ! I love the subtile humour of Three Musketeers, it's not what I had imagined. My Secret Hotel is great too :)
  It's sad that JTBC and tvN shows are not more recognized because their stories are more interesting and original.

  • @Kurama, Totally agree with you... Sad Surplus Princess is shortened and loved the subtle humor esp. how Lee Jin Wook played in Three Musketeers...

    • Ya I like the three musketeers. Never really liked a character Yonghwa played in, but this time can really sympathise with situations his character is going through. So I guess that means he is doing well enough in the role.

• So Eun's character being wide eyed is just like the character in the manga...so that's legit

  Erika Toda went the same route

• I think most tvN drama viewers are younger people. And we're getting close to the Korean College Entrance exams, so that crowd will probably skip the dramas in favor of more studying.

  Not to mention that the big public stations managed to pull out interesting dramas this season, like "Discovery of Romance" of "My Spring Days".

  I'm pretty sure tvN will bring out another winner drama sooner or later.

  These "Liar Game" pics look awesome, but I somehow doubt this can be a ratings success. I hope I'm wrong.

• Shouldn it be stars you dont like (The Three Musketeers)?

• I love Kim So Eun and I'm.glad she's doing something other than another weekend drama so I'm definitely checking it out...isn't the character supposed to be of the innocent type anyways? Too much aegyo had been an issue I have had with one too many veteran actresses even Ha Ji Won and Kim Sunah... Kim So Eun isn't that bad compared to some and she can definitely deliver in intensity when called for it

• I don't know whether I should be glad or not. I like Kim Soeun but liar game was what made me loved Erika Toda as innocent heroine. And leads me to Keizoku2:SPEC. Her pairing up with Shota was a big plus for me but they couldn't stand each other's presence and the lead actress was changed. No matter what, Kanzaki Nao will be my favourite character in Liar Game.

  • I love Liar Game, so I hope this does the drama justice.
    I adore Kim So Eun to bits, and I hope this project takes Lee Sang Yoon out of melo dramas. As much as I like Angel Eyes, it was just too melo for me, and Goddess of Fire was a train wreck.

    I didn't know that little trivia about Erika and Shota not getting along.
    But Erika did guest star in Shota's last drama, Umi no Ue no Shinryoyo, so I guess they are on good terms again? Here is hoping they pair up for a rom-com or something less serious.

    • People throw out the rumor that Toda Erika and Matsuda Shota not getting along because Toda Erika didn't film "Liar Game: Reborn." People base these rumors off of that while completely ignoring that Toda Erika was filming "SPEC: Heaven" at the same time, and both movies hit theaters in the same month.

  • The lead actress was changed not because they couldn't stand each other but because of a scheduling conflict. The fact is that Toda Erika and Matsuda Shota are good friends (she even made a cameo appearance in his latest drama) so I have no idea where you got this misleading information.¨

    I think KSE could do a good job as Nao, though, probably no way near TE's performance. As for LSY playing Akiyama - To tell you the truth, that was probably the worst casting news since the moment Ayano Gokiri had been cast as the female lead in the L-DK live action movie. I know the beauty is in the eye of beholder and all that, however, I find LSY utterly unattractive as a man. He looks as if he aged prematurely and he would be more beliavable as KSE's father than her potential love interest. Frankly, I pity him because he entered a battle he can't win - compare to Matsuda Shota's already legendary portrayal of Akiyama. One one side, you have LSY with his ajhussi face and limited acting range, on the other, Matsuda Shota who could melt both ice caps with his dark, mysterious aura and intensity. If you were Kanzaki Nao who would you choose? It's not even a question. Basically, this show will be one of those kdramas that I'll totally ignore.

• nah kim so eun acts cutesy when the role calls for it. which is what her role as nao here in liar game needs because nao is the epitome of the wide-eyed innocent heroine. actually she doesn't look so bad as to seem like she'll be overacting all bug-eyed in her role. i think she looks the part based on my impressions of nao while reading the manga (haven't watched the jdrama) and i believe she'll do just fine in the role
