I gave myself a total of two months before writing this review. Why? Because the ending will make you hate it. But after these two months I took a step back and looked at the whole show. And wow, it was really good. Actors played their parts very very well. Plot development was amazing. The music...wow..the music, the OST has a spanish swing to it that just sticks in your head. I have to talk about character development here, because that is what it comes down to and what people hate the ending for. Character development is very key in this drama. Characters were depicted perfectly as greedy, jealous, self-living, spineless, backstabbing people left and right. Each episode developed the conflict further and further (which could have just been solved by taking to each other, but that doesn't happen in Kdrama land). Until a boiling point is reached and the last episode shows the reality of the Fashion world and that its not always pretty. (which is why people hated the show)

Story::

Wow. Just wow. It starts off kind of slow, but when it picks up..good golly does it pick up. The story revolves around revenge, then moves from that to just standing up for whats right. Pretty much from revenge to Good Vs. Evil. Really really well written, I loved it. End was good aswell. Not a major love store here guys, if you're looking for that move on along. I, myself, usually watch only romcoms, but this...this is really good.

Characters/Actors::

Actors performed really well. Hats off to Kim Kang Woo though, really well played psychopath. Right till the end. Every role he played was played really well.

Music::
I have the OST on my playlist, its freaking amazing.

Rewatch::

I dont.

OVerall 10/10 Awesome!

I really liked this drama. It was really well done. The acting was just...omg so good. Story developed well and the characters weren't as flimsy as I thought they would be. The progression of their relationship was realistic and well put together. The story was good aswell. Really heart-wrenching at certain points, but that's what makes it so good. Music usually matched the scene, but at certain points it was off, OST sounds fantastic though.

Would recommend.

My goodness..this show was fantastic. I really didn’t like the main girl..as she’s kind of annoying and squeaky. But that literally the only downside to this drama, everyone acts so well. This drama is full of deception and betrayal, strength and morals, revenge and love. I was hooked by the first episode so easily. This drama was based on the manga, I didn’t even bother reading that. This show was just fanstatic. The music was well played and right on. Characters were well created and deceptive.

The puzzles…oh the puzzles..mind bending, confusing and loveable. Literrally watched this entire show in a day. The show just gets to you, hooks you and reels you in. Must Watch. And I will watch again.

The story for this drama is really unbelievable.. not unbelievable good, but unbelievable in the literal sense. Stuff like this would never happen IRL. Yes I understand that its a drama. But still dramas should have some realism. This one does not. The relationship in the drama is kind of off-putting, though it does further, its as though the two mains are attracted to each other because they supposed to. Personally, I liked how the main male lead kind of realized his feelings over time and not just "I hate her *snap* no actually I love her". But wow this drama made me laugh out loud a lot.

Story: 8/10

The characters and actors did a really good job. The only character that seemed flimsy was male female lead. Ugh, so much aegyo. You get over it. Everyone else was really good. I enjoyed the witchy-ness from the lead antagonist.

Characters/actors 9/10

Music was outstanding. It will get stuck inside of your head. Awesome. Loved it.

Music 10/10

Rewatch? I wouldnt. Not because its bad, but because I don't rewatch.

Overall 8/10

Holy Shit. The movie is the most badass, most action packed revenge movie I have ever seen. This movie is right now my top favourite movie. The main actor....my goodness the main actor acts so well in this movie. He plays the character so right. I hope he won many awards because of this. But he's not the only fantastic actor. The child actress is fantastic. Its funny, I expect children to be horrible actors/resses but this little girl was so believable. I'm amazed. The story is well written and by well written I mean f****** amazing. If you haven't watch this movie, this should be top on your list of movies to watch. Watch it.

I watched this right after finishing the first season. And wow. This one had more complex puzzles..but didn’t have enough new ones. :/ I might just be being picky..But still the show was amazing. Characters were played awesomely. Deception is really big in the drama and always keeps you guessing at everyones real intentions. Actors were fantastic. This season was about flaws in every character and each actor did their part to making the show come alive. And wow…I will totally watch again. Didn’t like the way it ended though… =/

Wow. This drama is amazing. Its so captivating!

The story flows very well and keeps you interested, the characters are so deep and so human. It's thanks to the actors aswell, fantastic acting by all actors including the secondary ones! The music fit the mood so well it made everything so interesting. When I first started the drama, I was considering not watching it because it has to do with the mafia and etc, and I don't usually watch those kinds of shows. But this drama from episode one hooks you well.

Definitely recommended.

This review may contain spoilers
Before I begin this review let me let you know that I've watched all the liar games and I've read the manga aswell. So a bit of this review is based off of the original.

Story------
While this wasn't the word to word the original story of liar game it was still quite good. The set designs, the character history, the twists, the manipulation, and the lies were scripted very well. And it flowed quite well. One thing that bothered me is what most pervious watchers of liar game will agree with, (**SPOILER**) is that the main character looses a match and struggles sometimes. Where in the original this wasn't the case...ever. Thats why it was so good. (END SPOILER) So this is definitely a good story.

Acting/Cast --------

Marvelous, Great, Outstanding. I was blown away. This is so well done, the cast is just right. Love it. Can't say any more than that.

Music ----------

I'm in love with the OST. That says enough.

Over all i give this an 8/10.

Damn, this was good. Was probably the first Kdrama I've watched.

Story::
The whole relationship and story was complex. I loved it. Very well done. I'm probably going to come back to watch this again. Development was fantastic.

Acting/Characters::
Very well done. The characters were full of emotion, so it was probably difficult to do, but they did it, and they portrayed it really well.

Music::
Will stick with me for a loooongg time.

I'm not sure why this doesn't have higher ratings...its really good.

Story::

This is a melodramatic romance. Its full of misunderstandings that the two leads have to sort out. It's good, it kept my attention. Development was fantastic for the main characters, but lacking for the secondary characters. The romance build up for the sec. characters wasn't at all that great. In fact it was kind of lacking. However, the story was well structured and made sense when it needed to.

Acting/Case::

Holy crap, the acting was good. You hated the evil characters and felt sympathy for them as well. I began to hate the main characters, not because they sucked at acting, but because they weren't communicating! Eh, normal K-Drama stuff. What can you do? Anywho, the acting was phenomenal

Music:

Nothing that stuck out.

Recomended?
If you'd like to watch a light melorom, take this for a pic. Its not fantastic but its not bad either.


7/10 Overall


(Ps: I don't rewatch)

Just..such an awesome story. The usual relationship misconceptions that are so present in the dramas nowadays aren't in this one, and its a relief. The story is really well written and well played out. When its sad and you feel sad, its happy and giddy and you feel the same way. Not like rooftop prince at all except the time travelling, the ending is satisfying and the whole show is just great. If I could give the story a score above 10 I would.

From beginning to end, I loved this show. There wasn't one episode where I didn't feel the plot line remained static. Awesome!


Story:::

From poor love sick boy to rich heart breaking man. This guy was the main lead in a story about revenge, murder and betrayal. Oh man was this story written well. At times you had no idea where the plot would move to. The relationships were defined but had so many crazy cracks and potholes only near the end did you realize who was being paired up. Well written story and awesome cliff hangers!


Charcter/Actors::

Holy poop. These actors are good at times you hate their character at other times you love em! Jae Hee was the most evil dispicable selfish woman, and the lead actress did everything right to portray that! Maru omg..KANG MA ROOO! Awesome..just awesome.

Well done for the whole cast!

Music:: Fit the mood, and was emotional when need be.


Rewatch:: Nope, I don't really rewatch..

Story::

Yes its robo-human love. But its darn good. The story was really well done. There is a time travel aspect to the story which is written up and done very very well. The story leads you in one direction but the ending twists the story well, I didn't expect it and was happy.

Characters/Actors::

Really awesome acting by the actors. The characters however.. meh. The main male lead didn't do that fantastic of a job. BUT everyone else did everything so well, that I ended up loving one of the side characters(the teacher). Damn, the robot is legit!


Music:

Perfectly fitting.


Overall: 9/10
