  Liar Game: The Final Stage starts off right where Liar Game 2 leaves off and it basically puts a cap on the series. I am guessing this show must have been extremely popular and that is why they decided on continuing this way. A movie generates a lot of bennies when it's popular. Just a Guess.
  
  But whatever works because I enjoyed the movie just as much as the first two series. If you want to read more detailed thoughts into this series; how much I liked the look and feel, how I feel about Akiyama and Nao, and mostly what I feel about the mind twisty games and great writing, then feel free to go back and read my reviews if you care to.
  
  I will say this: I enjoyed that Nao had further character development in this movie but without losing her essential personality. I know a lot of people have problems with Nao and I was one of them in the beginning. She's so overly trusting and honest to the point where most in our society look at her and just see "stupid" written across her forehead. But I got used to her...I came to actually like her and by the movie's end...I was proud of her. And even more importantly..you can see that Akiyama is proud of her too. Don't underestimate the truly honest!
  
  Also, I loved the ending of this movie. It made me warm and fuzzy all over. Perfect end to a great series. Have fun watching! read more

  I absolutely LOVED this whole series of the Liar Game and usually I'm not the type to watch these types of dramas but really, the Liar Game is an awesome drama and movie that I reccomend to anyone. First of all, the story is unique, I'm sure you won't find a movie/drama as suspenseful as this! I loved the cast choose also- Toda Erika played "Naive Nao" very well, and I don't think there could have been a better (or sexier) Akiyama other than Matsuda Shota ;) The music added to the suspense and kept you on the edge of your seat. I will definitely watch this series over multiple times in the future :D The Liar Game also served a purpose- To Beat "Human Greed," and in the end they were successful. Oh yea, and another thing, even though this wasn't a romance I was hoping in the very end Akiyama would confess (even though I knew it wouldn't happen) but what he said in the end was close enough for me :)One piece of advice-WATCH THE LIAR GAME!!! read more

  The main character can lose all or achieve a big fortune. Both movie shows manipulation of mind.

  LIAR GAME 2

  This a continuation of the second series. This movie shows the final part to the two season drama. I highly recommend it if you liked the first 2 seasons!!!
