dramas do this sometimes, they end with a scene and thennat the beginning of next episode they start a bit before…
Yeah, I didn't remember it was the last ep3 scene. But it was weak as cliffhanger. Then it starts episode 4 on the morning. And here, I couldn't figure it was rather a flashback, more little scenes like that, then around 10 minutes, the recap of the cliff scene. But it was very long, and I couldn't figure out it was the classic "redo the cliff scene", as it don't reveal a lot. I've the feeling it's messed up here. It could be better to start ep4 with the following. But maybe the writer really wanted to tell the morning scene and/or there was not any other time to put that.
Thanks for this review. I never took the time to write one, even I watched this x12 and it was my favorite drama during 7 years until I watch W. You made it in the reverse order, lol!
They are the only two dramas I rate 10 because they have the extra plus about the concept, art, pace, density and originality + the mind-blowing logic.
I don’t understand this. Almost all stories are inspired by older stories. There are literally so many many…
It's more incredible than that. Civilizations without any contact had very similar myths. It's related to the human psyche (concepts of archetype and collective mind).
I thought I was sensitive but man you are a little bit too much. They know each other before she became his temporary…
Good luck with your watching. I just took notes about what is wobbly in others areas, because it's of good value about screenwriting as "errors not to do". I've dropped once at ep4, now I drop for good at ep6. The drama isn't enough good, but also isn't enough bad so I could enjoy to take more notes. ;-)
Episode 3, there is something I don't understand. Maybe a translation error? Can you explain?(see spoiler)
He finds the As heart ten on his forehead. So he's supposed to win the game. Then I don't understand about what they speak just after, before they fight (and I'm not sure why they fight too).
Should I watch this? Honestly I feel like want to watch this just because of Kang Ha Neul. Will add on to my drama…
Episode one has too much of confusing exposition. Then Episode 2 is ok and Episode 3 is very good. If you like gamble, there is Poker texas holdem, with an explanation of statistiques.
Agree, the story started pretty weak but ep 2 was good. Actually I watched it with a low speaker sound because…
Yes the song. Usually, I prefer BGM than OST in dramas, but here it's the opposite. The song at end of episode 1 is better than average drama songs. But I didn't find a MV yet.

I think you are right about that: the writing have diverses problems in this drama, even it's not a total failure. Among that problems the unbelievable romance.
We can compare with others dramas (noona or ajhumma romance):
Secret Love Affair: Much more scandalous because it's teacher + adultery. But it's believable. Good writing on that.
I hear your voice: Noona romance, very believable because the script set up a very strong link between the characters. Also, the slow burn progress perfectly.
"Why her" miss something, it's hard to spot exactly what. There is a link from the past, but not strong enough (will be some other flashback later?). And just the way the actual relationship unfolds doesn't sound true. Kiss from nowhere then forgotten?! Platitudes, clichés. Actors looking out of the blue, as if they were unable to do something with the lines from the script.
We have also so much characters and other content, that the romance isn't in focus. It's difficult to makes good romance when there is too many aside. Some screenwriters are able to do it, but you can be sure they choose others way. First, remove a lot of characters and better manage screentime.
I'm thinking the same thing but it is also that So Ra is completely in control of La El.Until So Ra knows how…
La El need a good lie about how she could take a photo of the message and car keys. Also, the female bodyguard will report to YG! More mess to solve. La El husband know the truth, it could mess at anytime now. And La El fake mother want to put her out of the game. I don't see how La El will survive to episode 8...

It's not sure yet but we will have maybe a Liar Game rewatch party on this blog:

Interesting revelation from the CEO. I wonder what it means...
I think when we end episode 2, we want to see more for sure.
