Usually, I wasn't really bothered about writing anything for any drama. Well, it seems that the only reason is you have to watch them to find out, isnt it?
Today, would be an exception.
Well, from here onwards, I will be writing about my thoughts about the episodes of Liar Game.
HENCE, SPOILERS AHEAD. DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPOILT YOUR DRAMA.
In episode One, we were introduced to the heroine of the drama. Well, her name is Nao. Her character was played by Toda Erika. Toda Erika had appeared in Hana Yori Dango 2, Death Note the movie, and Nobuta wo Produce. Hence, she is, I could say an experienced actress. The character she played is Nao Kanzaki, a naive and gullible girl. Well, more accurately described she is someone who will return 100 yen (which I think is a very very small amount) to the policeman. Someone that gullible and that naive shouldn't be involved in anything that involved lying and manipulating.
The otherwise happened.
One day, she saw a black box in front of her door. Throwing cautious into the air, she opened the box only to discover that the box contained about 100 million yen. (that, my dear, would be a huge amount) Later on, she found out she was invited to participate in a devious game, the Liar Game.
The Liar Game was very interesting, in my point of view.
Firstly, we were introduced that the first round of the game could be won by cheating 100 milion yen from the other opponent. The rules are very simple. First of all, you received 100 milion yen. Then, by opening the black box, confirmed your participation in the Liar Game. Well, our dear naive and gullible Nao opened the box.
She had to stay in the game.
Worse still, she had to cheat from her opponent to win the game.
or the worst that could happen was she was cheated.
There is another pivotal rule i had forgotten to mention.
you just have to pay back the 100 million yen they lent u.
Later on, she found out that her opponent is her former teacher. Guillible as Nao is, she ran to her teacher and asked for help. Her teacher persuaded her that he will safe keep her money until the deadline arrive, which is one month later. Naive as our Nao, she handed the money over without any question and returned happily home. At home, the Liar Game secretary send her a letter informing her that she had just lost her 100 million.
Shaken, she returned to her teacher house, just to overhear that her teacher is actually cheating her her 100 million. Desperate, she seeked help from the local policeman. The policeman, took pity on her and suggested her to seek help from the professional regarding this.
This, my readers, was where our hero came into the picture.
Matsuda Shota, playing Akiyama Shinichi, our hero in this drama had handle a role in Hana Yuri Dango. Well, a dashing guy, I might add. Anyway, Akiyama Shinichi is a professional swindler and he was prisoned once. He is someone with some past, I guess. At first, he decided to not help Nao but changed his mind once he saw how gullible Nao is. If you ask me, I have no idea why he would help her. I would be ... like indifferent. Well, if he didnt help her, we wont have our drama. so, i will shut up now.
He confirmed the autencity of the existence of Liar Game.
In a very short time, he came up with a plan to get back the 100 million cheated. In addition to that, he will also get the teacher's share of 100 million.
of course, with the condition that he takes half of the win.
Akiyama, then proceed with his plan. he asked Nao to watch over her teacher all the time, to put pressure in him. observing his opponent behaviour, he speculated that the whole 200 million yen is in the house itself.
The whole month was spent on, watching the teacher.
The teacher soon got paranoid and started to wear himself out from the mental pressure he was placed onto.
Nao, like her teacher started to panic as time appeared to be on her teacher side.
Finally, Akiyama told Nao his speculation. together, they decided to plan to find out the exact location of the money. They put up a hoax fire and tried to force the teacher to show the exact location of the money. When the teacher didnt leave the living room, Akiyama found out that the money is in the living room. They showed their true colour in front of the teacher, telling their speculation that made the teacher to be careless.
Unfortunately, the teacher suddenly laughed and showed a large safebox.
The teacher confidently replied, they will never get the money.
In return, Akiyama just chuckled and reassure that the safebox is never a problem to him.
Nao only managed to look at Akiyama uncertainly.
The teacher just stopped laughing.
and we have the end of episode one here.
my thought?
it is slighty expected. i meant the episode. but i think it had a good start. it would be something to look forward too.
and my credits, to the staff that made the music and environment. it is a bit thrilling.
