Liar Game 2

A very good sequel; LG2 was able to improve its mistakes from the first one to even be more captivating and thrilling to watch. I have been reading the manga and LG2 stays true to the manga for the most part with some changes to the plot and characters. There will be a movie to wrap everything up and I can't wait to watch it.

Toda Erika: She has been improving so much since her character was annoying in the first one but her honesty and naivety have grown on me. Her character has also become a little bit more realistic. 5*****

Matsuda Shota: He is still so smart and suave. I don't have any complaints on his acting and I'm glad that his character has flaws since he seems to be too perfect and smart to be true in the manga. 5*****

Suzuki Kosuke: He's a lot less annoying and a lot more likable to watch in here. I like the character better in the manga, but it has nothing to do with his acting but rather the script. 5*****

Kikuchi Rinko: Her character doesn't exist in the manga (or at least not yet...) and she was interesting to watch. 5*****

Toda Erika+Matsuda Shota: They are cute together and I hope they end up together in the movie. 4****

OST: These are all instrumental songs but they fit well with the drama. 4****

Rating: 5***** Definitely a classic.
