By the way the art in the drama is kinda nice huh? 3) New / Different set of characters It feels as if the games in the drama have been edited here and there to suit the drama more. Another obvious difference is during the recent Liar game reborn’s musical chairs game where the game played out slightly differently. While I do not recall the exact details, I do believe both games played out differently in the 2nd half of the game but landed in the same resolution. In the manga, Akiyama did not go berserk (unlike the finale of Season 1 in the Drama version).

However, some games do play out differently. The first major difference is noted at the Contraband game where both teams try to smuggle across different countries. The games are all identical, with the same rules and such. But again, the experience is mostly the same. (Though there are minor differences sometimes like shifting of some lines and stuff to different characters). The games are the same, the script is the same. 2) Some games play out differentlyįor most part, the manga and drama are totally identical. (though I do offer my opinion and recommendation) 1) Both mediums feature their own version exclusive gamesįor the record, this “taboo” game never happened in the manga. I’m gonna just highlight the main differences real quick. I don’t like to be really detailed and I’m doing this yeah, I’m writing this from memory/impressions. The point of this post is not to document but rather go for more of a brief write-up/after thoughts kind of feel. But if you don’t mind being spoiled, then go on ahead. The following content will contain spoilers and I do recommend that you have at least read or watched Liar game to proceed.

My purpose here today, however, is not to review the liar game series but to do comparisons on both mediums (Manga versus Live action) and put forth a recommendation on which medium is the superior one. Liar Game is the type of series that is overwhelmingly intellectual and even puts “smarter’ series like Death Note to shame. And of course, if you’re a fan of game theory and/or psychology, you’re in for a real threat. It’s definitely one of the smartest shows ever. If you haven’t heard of this series, go watch it now. I think most people have watched the drama adaptation but not the manga so I crafted this (hopefully) helpful post for you guys.

Liar Game, if you haven’t heard, is a Japanese drama / live action that was adapted from a manga written by Shinobu Kaitani (also the author of One Outs). With the Korean adaptation of Liar game coming out in a couple of weeks, I’d figured there’s no better time to talk about this.
