End of episode 6 broke me ! ML was ready to say the truth about the false letters... But because of almeoni, the lie continue. Arrgh, this will cause more problems in the future, for sure. I guess there will be a traumatic scene with lot of tears, regrets, accusations, etc. Lying is not good for everyday life. A lot of good life lessons in this drama, or small touchs in dialogues, "what make a good president ?", as usual with this writer, there is lot of unexpected ideas about this. It's a pity than pace look more like "reunited worlds" than her previous dramas. I feel like with only 3 episodes, her mini drama page turner (quite slow) was really faster, dense and emotionnal. Maybe because her others storys are far more dramatics, question of life or death, it hit more, and the warmthfull moments are more poignants when it come.
Edit: beginning of episode 7 start well. It's a declaration of love war with the 2 ML. Well, I don't focus on the love story, love triangles etc, it's not the core of the story for me, but there is an obvious dilemma : what more important ? The sincerity of the letters but back 15 years ago, or the real feeling of the present day, because the geek look like to have sinceres feeling now.
Hi Kimsamsoom, how are you? Thank you for your answer. I'm still watching the drama anyway. It's being delved into some details, like the professional environment, and the twists and turns related to it. The screenwriter has worked well on that.
Hello people! After months, I finally have time to watch a drama. Naturally, I chose this one because Park Hye Ryun is one of my favorite screenwriters, and I've been waiting for this drama for a long time. I just finished episode 5, and I'm disappointed. It's a human and professional development drama, like Pinnochio or Dream High was. At times I feel the talent of the writer, or I notice some of her habits (like the mother-daughter relationship in I Hear your voice). But it's all so slow! There are endless filling scenes. Like the cherry tree petal that takes 5 minutes to go around the city (and rather badly done in 3d). It's really dragging on, and in fact I don't feel the emotional hit power that her previous dramas had, even if I was still surprised by a couple of warm and intense scenes.
Thank for your article, I could have missed this drama. I didnt read all because of the spoilers. But I like this actress, the story look ok, and maybe it's a must-watch. So, I put it on watchlist.
Are these Liar Game series good? I heard about them but since I am more into new releases (I just started, so…
For sure there is all subs on subscene. About Vod, I don't know where to find this. I was lucky to find a 1080p version a few years ago, but I don't remember where.

It's "Liar Game: Reborn". It's less good than the drama. And there is no way to replace Erika Toda by another character. And it come after. There is a chronology. If I summarize, the essential is : - Liar game season 1. - Liar game season 2. - Liar Game: The Final Stage. Others show are short story, one shot or movie. Only worth to watch after the essentials (+ it spoil a lot). But difficult to find, and just optional. Last thing : don't watch the korean remake, it's very bad.

Japanese drama Liar game is a masterpiece. Crazy smart with incredible plot-twists, quite brain intensive but easy to understand. A true world building thank to the directing and mostly editing. And a fun buddy couple with Matsuda Shota and Toda Erika. It's a drama with a "anime" feel, because of colors, pace, and weird charaters acting like in a manga. It's something you never watched elsewhere.
So... I started watching drama ten year ago, and I watched easely 50 less drama than you in one year. ^^ At first, I was watching mostly japanese drama. As I watched Hana Yori Dango, I never watched the korean remake "boy over flower". My all time favorite drama was Liar Game, until 7 years later I watched kdrama W. My first kdrama was City Hunter because I wanted to watch the japanese character, but it was a trap ! It's totaly different ! Yet, the drama was nice. Human interactions was surprising. First favorite actress was Lee Dae Hee, because of Miss Ripley drama. So I watched all her dramas. Some of them were quite bad! But when you start watching dramas, you can watch some bad dramas without problem. Robber was boring. Hello! Miss wasn't really good but with enough funny content. Of course, Chuno and Hotel King were great.
They are such a dream team! I can’t wait to watch it . Also can’t wait for your thoughts on the comments
Hi! Hélas, I don't plan to watch it live, probably binge watch after broadcast. I don't watch dramas since some weeks. I'm more on cinema, SF movies, good old french movies, a bit of everything. And I also rewatched 24, all seasons. This time I took care about the script, and it's probably the best serie ever about cliffhanger, plot-twist, pace. Or at least, as good as W, 365 repeat the year or Empress Ki about that. Ah! and also, funny and weird japanese movies, Zombie Ass toilet of the dead, vampire girl vs frankeistein girl, Robogeisha, Exte. Or other fun horror movies I missed : Belko experiment, Horribilis, Mayhem, Milo, The Cabin In The Woods. And crazy action movies, like Kill'Em all, the night come for us, Ninja assassin (with Rain!), Crank. My favorite movie from this cinema run : Terumae romae (japanese movie and comedy).
Director and writer is a dream team here. Park Hye Ryun is one of my 3 favorite kdrama screenwriter. I thank you about reminder, but I couldn't read all your article. I want to watch this drama with 0% spoil before. ;-)
Dude, you're on every single "time travel" show writing exactly the same kind of comment. If this genre is boring…
Finally, beyond this misunderstanding, I thank you very warmly. You answer my questions. I have nothing against this show, or any other, I just wanted to know if it corresponds to my tastes. Which are the following: I love science fiction and time travel stories, which have many occurrences. And on the other hand, I don't like stories about police investigations at all (with very few exceptions, like "Signal"). Here, it seems quite clear that this drama does not meet what I am looking for. Maybe I will watch it one day, but in any case, it should not be on my priority list. Thanks again to you.

I'm not on every timetravel drama topic. And I bash nothing, I even didnt watched the show. I ask a question about what kind of timetravel show it is. And nobody answered. You need to learn respect and READ what people write and ask !
Woo! We have the same favorite actress ! I just replace IU by Kim Tae Hee, and it's quite my list too. In a top 10, I would replace someone by Kim Seo Hyung too. And other favorites : Park Ha Na, Lee Da Hae, Park Shin Hye, Nam Ji Hyun. And I don't forget great Ajummas (see on my list).
Hacking, finance, medicine, etc... In all fields, everything is plot-device, because on television, there is no time and means to depict realism. And even if that were the case, if realism prevents a good plot-twist, one should not hesitate to abandon it. It just has to look credible, even if it's not. And for the story to follow its logic, which the viewer can accept, without inconsistency.
About your article, you spotted some interesting points : about how songs help viewer to store the drama in memory, with feeling. But also, I just want to say that many drama song aren't good. But people like these song because they liked the drama. So it's a two way process. I'm almost sure if people listened only the song (without the drama), maybe they wouldn't like the song. Even if I'm not used to do that, it work sometimes on me. A drama song isn't good. I know it's bad music, but I hear the song many times in the drama. And if I like the drama, I have more tolerance for liking this bad song too, at least a little bit. I also like very much some song from drama I really don't like. So here, I just listen the song on my mp3, and it's a but frustrating I don't like the drama too. Here I can't do anything, I won't like the drama, even if the song is good.
Instrumentals are amazing! I have a whole youtube playlist dedicated to them. I wish that they were officially…
Yeah, I'm frustrated because most of the time, we get just "various artists" and don't know the name of musicians. I worked hard and did many research on internet just for knowing name of some musicians of the best BGM I like. When listening I was almost sure it was the same team, and it was !
Edit: beginning of episode 7 start well. It's a declaration of love war with the 2 ML.
