Wow i love how it has different feel with the japanese one.

I love the cast except Lee Sang-yoon. The trailer hasn't convinced me that he fit for the role. He still doesn't look like a genius scam artist to me. Just look like a bitter person. I don't know, please prove me wrong. Maybe Matsuda Shota just leave too big of impression for this role to me.

But I definitely watching this show. So excited.

personally i think that shin sung rok should be the main guy if they followed the Japanese drama closely. but then perhaps the game master is much more creepy compare to other version and that is the reason shin sung rok got his role

oh yeah
please..please they have awesome ost/music background like the variety show The Genius Game

I'll be honest, the preview isn't that good. I just hope the first episode proves me wrong. I'm not feeling Akiyama-san. Kim So Eun looks the part but her acting isn't on par w/ Toda. That mask looks horrendous. I miss the "Saw" parody mask from the Japanese version as it evokes creepiness and instill fear onto the players. It's mysterious yet

It seems different than the original version .... Least the Mask isn't as creepy lol.... I really love Matusda Shota he is a awesome actor(if u haven't seen any of his work I suggest hana yori dango and Love Shuffle) The only thing I saw Lee sang hoon in was angels eyes ( Actually I started at episode 4 and I dropped it at episode 4) hopefully he does well.... no high hopes.

I became a huge Shota fan because of Liar Game so I'm a bit apprehensive about LSY and now that the video previews are out, I really wished that it was SSR who was cast as Akiyama-san.

Please show, have an epic OST just like the original version and also a really awesome opening credit.

Going to tune in on the interesting concept alone, but really in it to watch kuni omma's && shin sung rok's performances, and the pretty that is lee sang yoon's dimples.

WHUT?

There is no Jigsaw in this..?

Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh....forgive my incoherent state but....I want this to succeed so much....

I'm really excited about this. I love love love the premise.

I'm interested to see how they handle the Kim So-eun character. I had to stop watching the jdrama about six episodes in because I just could not handle how dumb she was. I think the premise of a girl who trusts everybody is interesting in a dark fairy tale kind of way, but it really bothered me how the male lead had to swoop in every episode to save her. I get that the show was an exploration of whether positive qualities of kindness and trust can survive in this modern world, but it was just painful to see the female lead completely incapable of taking care of herself. That said, there's a lot that I loved about the show and was kind of torn when I stopped watching.

Looking forward to seeing how kdramaland re-interprets the original!

After watching the long trailer, I don't have a problem with any of the actors - I can see all of them as their characters, including Akiyama. The only problem I still have is that I simply don't see how the Liar Game is going to work as a TV show, without the threat of being used for human experimentation.

Also, I hope they don't have Akiyama wrongfully accused and a victim of some kind of corporate conspiracy or something, and turn the story into some kind of quest for personal revenge, because then it would just be like every kdrama ever, and not like Liar Game. (Akiyama's revenge is already in the past. That is what he got put in jail for.)

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that the jdrama was NOT the original - it was also an adaptation (and not an entirely faithful one) of the brilliant manga! I hope the production team remembers this even if the commenters don't.

hmmm..... I'm just gonna think of this as the love child of 'liar game' and 'the quiz show 2'.

Kim So Eun is lovely so I look forward to her.

I really hope this drama proves me wrong and that it will be AMAZING. Please prove me wrong because I'm currently still on the fence about it. The preview looks okay but I'm still not convinced about TV Show/Reality Program format it's doing.

I really like this series. I looking forward to this remake.

I just worried on something.

this maybe spoiler, but one of two biggest mysteries is what is the true form of LGO.

Why LGT becomes TV Show? It will be alright? Will the show be like The Quiz Show series?

wow the stills are pretty convincing.

Hmm what I don't get is the reality tv show set-up..... I doubt it's meant to be like that? But then again, if it makes it more fun and thrilling, by all means! The Japanese one was really good although Nao grated my nerves - thank god there's always Akiyama-san to save the day! So I'm at least hoping that everyone got their characters right down to a tee and we are all set!! I like all three leads, so I'm patiently waiting for the premiere!

I want that mask.

I hope this drama does well and puts Kim So-eun on the map. I remember 2009 when she did BOF and Empress Chun Chu and I could've sworn she would be the next best thing because she was enchanting in such different roles. It even affirmed my belief when she won Best New Actress next to Lee Min Ho's Best New Actor in the same awards ceremony. I ended up noting her future projects and told myself to see if they were good enough to go on my watchlist. None ever did. But no- - Park Shin-hye and all these others came and rose much, much higher than her after that era. KSE took crappy drama decisions (daily drama, really? weekend drama as second-lead or drama with much older love interests...?) all sub-par been-there-done-that predictable plots (except Horse Doctor, Princess Sukhwi was one of my favorites!) But I have higher hopes for Liar Game. One of my favorite Japanese dramas. I think this is a bit of a different adaption, so I'll watch this one religiously and cross my fingers the Koreans eat it up.

Am lost as to what it is from reading through posts but if all the beanies are going to watch it I guess I will also.

It won't have a romance? Ooh, if there will be English subs, sign me on! (Japanese original didn't have romance, which I loved)

Is it me or Kim So Eun just looks so DIFFERENT here compared to Boys Over Flowers? Her nose looks really manga-ish!

I'm not a big fan of Lee Sang Yoon but I think he's handsome and he has decent acting ability. Plus he has cute dimples (although seeing his role in this preview I don't think I should count on seeing those that often...)

I haven't watched the Japanese version, but I think good that I have not. Comparing it with the original is betraying yourself because the first one you see always has an order advantage. It has had your emotional investment which works against your otherwise impartial and more charitable judgment of the remake.

Pooooooo, I think Kim So-Eun was so so so much cuter before her nose job. I think her natural prettiness was definitely part of what made her attractive. I can't stop staring at her nose. I know, I know, it's her life and her face and she's an adult, but those are just my two cents.

Back to the actual show--I like that the Kanzaki Nao character in the Korean version doesn't seem quite as dumb-innocent/happy-go-lucky (for example, when the old lady was asking for help, part of her wanted to just be able to pass her by, but she couldn't bring herself to do it because of her compassionate heart).

That being said, oh man, I miss Matsuda. He IS Akiyama, and he was a huge part of what made the show so awesome to me as a viewer. Not really buying LSY's character... I don't think it's just the look; there's a level of coolness (coldness?) and mystery that Matsuda gave off that I'm not getting from LSY.

Having this all be a part of a big televised broadcast is on one hand a very interesting twist, but I kind of like the sinister and underground feel of the liar game (like, the actual game) in the Japanese version.

lollllll no. not here for any of this. the premise that the game is a TV show cheapens the entire concept of the liar game and it just doesn't feel like it's as high stakes as in the original japanese drama. they bound the heroine to the game through a /contract/? instead of massive amounts of crippling debt? and we're supposed to believe she's so dumb that she didn't read it all the way through, i suppose, which i'll buy but that still makes the whole thing feel less dangerous, and i'm afraid i can't get past that point to get truly invested in the drama. a villain with a face also doesn't make it more scary, no matter how smug he looks or how he threatens the leads - the saw masks were better, when the game is presided over by a force so malevolent in its total impartiality.

also, the whole matsuda shota not being there thing, on top of the fact that they don't have CAPSULE for the OST... no.
