Liar Game 1 (Live Action) Review and Thoughts

Liar Game (Live Action) Season 1 Japanese

Liar game season 1

Status: Completed

Episodes: 11

Genre: Psychological, Suspense, Mystery, (Romance, for me kekeke~)

My rating: ★★★★☆ (My favorite!)

Comparison to the manga: I haven't read the manga. (･･;), but I will.

Synopsis: Akiyama is so hot. Wait- that's not it. (Too early to discuss about that) 

Do you think you could lie about anything for 100 million yen? That's the question you would ask yourself if you ever participate in this mysterious game called Liar Game. You have to beat your opponent; otherwise you'll be in debt. An ordinary college student, Nao Kanzaki (Erika Toda) is suddenly pulled into this crazy game where you compete how well you can lie. She's too honest to win such game, but with the aide by a genius con artist, she survives each tournament. So many lies and so many betrayals. You'd be shocked how ugly people could be when it comes to greed. But she never loses her faith in people. In this suspenseful drama, we experience the same desperation, frustration and hope that this young girl goes through as the true motive of the game is being revealed.

DAMN GHURL! Sorry I can't help myself not to put this.

Review and Thoughts:
Before I talk about Akiyama's hotness, coolness and stares, I will first talk about how just the synopsis caught my attention. I promised myself last month to take a break on watching dramas and start practicing keyboard. But unfortunately, I saw Liar Game. (･\) I wanna slap myself that time. I was just gonna watch one episode but I can't help it. And before I knew, I finished it in just one day. Personally, I love psychology so it might be a bit biased. But it really gave the series a twist that will leave you so many questions. It makes you want to continue watching until you know the answer. And sadly, one episode isn't enough to answer all those questions. Although at the start, the strategies are dumb (as well as Nao) and predictable, but as it progress, it gets complex. So I suggest you give it a try even if you're too smart that you can predict all what's gonna happen. 

Akiyama and Nao's different personalities creates an amazing chemistry that makes the series more interesting. (Although Nao's stupidness will make your face swollen because of numerous times of face palms.) And there's a pinch of romance there. *smirks* (I think) Also Akiyama's hotness will really make you wonder why there's no romance written on the genre. (^\\\\^) Moreover, the antagonists will really annoy you and I think it's good, because it means that the actors are portraying their characters well. Actually, all of them are really good actors.

Here's a really funny scene from the series <--click br="" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;">
Recommend? OF COURSE! It's really cool (especially Akiyama). 

Watashi no Koibito Review and Thoughts

Watashi no Koibito (My lover) by Sakisaka Io
[Watashi no = my, Koibito = lover]

Genre: Romance, Family, Comedy (there are moments), Drama, Shoujo, School life

Status: Completed

Chapters: 8 

Synopsis:
Emi has a pretty sister that gets many confessions. One day, Emi received a call on their telephone and it's a confession to her sister. Instead of answering, she hanged up. Coincidentally (nooo, it's destiny! (^з^)-☆), he met the guy and he's the same class as hers. 

Illustration: ★★★

The illustrations are not exceptional.  When Emi changed her hairstyle, I didn't recognize her! I thought it was her sister. (T ^ T) Maybe, I'm just stupid. But it's good though!! I love how the mangaka draws the tears when it's about to fall. Also the illustrations aren't crowded so it's easy to read. Junta isn't attractive for me but who cares, I still love it. These are examples! I removed the dialogues for you. (^.^)

This is from the extra chapters.

It's not ugly like my drawings. Who am I to compare my drawings to an amazing mangaka? (._.) I can only draw stickmans. Actually, I'm a fan of Sakisaka Io's works like Strobe Edge! And since she's just starting the time she illustrated Watashi no Koibito, the illustrations are not as excellent like Strobe Edge and Ao Haru Ride,

Plot: ★★★

When I saw it at first, it didn't catch my attention, because the mangaka's style isn't my favorite (I have favoritism (^_^)v so I skipped it (regretssss), but yesterday I stumbled upon it. Unconsciously (and because I don't have anymore mangas to read), I read the synopsis and it really catched my attention. One thing is because it's not usual, getting a confession that is supposedly for your sister and instead of telling it to her, you hung up. Who would do that? Not me, for sure. I will tell it to my sister immediately. I don't know why the guy continued to confess even though he doesn't know if it's Emi's sister who is on the phone. What if it was her mother? I can't imagine the embarrassment! Or maybe it would have been Emi's mother and Junta love story. Ahaha~ （＾∇＾）(disturbingg) Anyway, I was curious what was going to happen so I continued reading it. Andddd I had no regrets reading it, because it doesn't only tackles romance but also sister relationship and other things. Personally, I can relate to it. I'm not attractive like my sister, and she always gets compliments I'm just a potato!! （ ;  ; ）The characters are very relatable tho~ And because I watch too much manga and dramas, I was able to predict some of the scenes. But I LOVE THE ENDING SO MUCH. May be, it could have been better if the mangaka added some scenes before it that clearly shows Junta's feelings. It was not enough, okay?

Recommend? Yes if you like a short manga that will make you smile and cry. (yuzz I cried) And besides, it's a work of Sakisaka Io!!!
