This is just sad. Maybe if you haven't watched the Liar Game japanese version 1&2 you'll say that this has a lot of suspense, thrilling, mind blowing etc drama. But as for me who actually watched the the original Liar Game from Japan, I think this was an awful remake. They just copied the whole story and even the whole game! They also copy how other participants became eliminated. Even the strategy of Akiyama, (Woo Jin of Japanese version) they copy all it! They just put some story about Nam Da Jung's family background, and the rest is total copy, total crap! The differences between the Korean and Japanse are the japanese was more suspenseful. Because the winners were declaring their strategy AFTER the game so you can really feel the suspese and you'll say "oh that's how it happend". Unlike in the korean version they're already telling their moves while they're playing. So there was no suspense at all. In the japanse version it was full of games and suspense no anything else. While in korean has a lot of additional and unecessary padding stories. I just don't feel like watching it and I just want to skip that part but I didn't because I was expecting that something different will happend. Unfortunately there was not. The characters in Japanese are so appealing! From naive Nao, genius Akiyama, Tricky Fukunaga and terrifying Katsuragi (from season 2) In Korean the characters didn't give justice on their particular characters. Their acting was just so plane except from Kang Do Yeong. He looks so evil! One thing also I like in Japanese version was their background music. It makes the scene more suspenseful and thrilling! In korean, the background music was ok but not as good as on the japanese. I was so disappointed on this. I thought they will make a new a unique concept from the first one but I was wrong. Very wrong!. :(
