i hate UMI!! i dont think that my first impression on her will change because of this new drama.. i dont want her to be with shota..though there are rumors that the two of them are dating..and i hate that!!!GGGRRR!!
For the love of God, the actress's name is Toda Erika! Umi is just the name of the character she played in HYD2. There is a difference between the two!
That said, I'm really looking forward to Liar Game tonight. I can't wait to see Matsuda Shota in a role other than Soujirou - even though he looked absolutely horrid on the Iitomo Spring SP. If done well, this drama can be really good. I hope it doesn't turn out like the cheesy mess that was Kurosagi.
ETA: To the people who have read the manga, is there any romance between the two leads?

^ Exactly. Her name is Toda Erika. She wasn't born Umi, intent on destroying Domyouji and Makino's relationship. LOL...and why should you 'hate' it if they were together?
I'm really looking forward to Liar Game, since Toda Erika and Matsuda Shota are two of my favourites It's good that there will be Chinese subs, but even so, they're sometimes very inaccurate cause they go in for speed instead of accuracy, and I would really like someone to pick this up for English subs... so I'll keep on hoping!
As for Japan's copyright laws, I agree with dragonpoetry that it would work if Japan would only see the benefits of hiring good people (possibly fansubbers) to work on their TV serials and produce high-quality subtitles that can be bought legally, but, as usual, the industry isn't half as smart as the viewers...so...we'll just have to wait and hope they wise up soon ;)

The plot sound interesting, so it cant be too bad
i'm looking forward to this drama~~(Mainly Because of Toda)
First notice her in Engine, but she was great in Gal Circle & Death Note...
But the cast seems kinda weak...I mean just having Erika in it...
Same thing happen to "Akane" with just Maki Horikita starring in it, a horrible 8.72 rating, but the main reason is probably becos of the boring plot(even thou that was also based off a manga)
Even thou, dont really like shota, but i am really looking forward to see him wearing that funny wig~! =D

Just saw it on Tv,
Hidden:
It watches likes kurosagi, but with weirder lighting and ambience. The shows flow is a little weird, but okay. After the first ep, I am on the fence on this one, gonna have to see where it goes from here, but yeah, feels like something done before.

First game is your very normal swindling that we are all used to and that you see in Kurosagi, but when you get to game 2 and game 3, the games become very unique and intersting. Game 1 << game 2 and game 3.
Hidden:
Game 2 is a minority game (people vote, minority votes win, people who voted with majority loses).
Game 3 is a majority game (odd number of people has 5 votes each, after 10 rounds, all people win except for the person with least votes, oh you get a check book too to buy and sell things).
Winners have to go into the next round. Losers... well they are in heavy debt. You have to pay half of what you won to get out of the game, if you want.
The process of winning is what's fun to watch. Lots of psychology. Lots of teaming up. Lots of betrayals.

yea...personally, I did just rename it to the Toda Erika Show or something along those lines. Take her out of the equation, I'm guessing viewership will drop by 90% lol.

do they use the same puppet as in the english movie SAW?? lol..
i think this movie has some "SAW" elements in it.. in SAW some random people are put in the game where they have to try survice.. in Liar Game.. erika randomly gets money and plays a game... also the puppets are similar!!

I saw the first episode.. and I thought it was pretty good..
It did have that Kurosagi feel to it (which I stopped watching after the first episode), but I thought it was a lot better and I'm looking forward to watching the next episode.

I just finish watching the first episode. It was much better than I thought it would be. I was only watching this for Erika Toda, but the story is quite engaging. The show is pretty low-budget, but the story make up for it. The show is very fast and doesn't waste too much time on details which might be a problem later on, but for now it's good. Hopefully we will get full 45 minutes from here on out. Good start.

12.3% is an incredibly high rating. This show was aired on 11:10PM on 45 min new timeslot. Not the hottest time for getting ratings. Go Toda Erika!
Hmm, not that incredibly high... (Afterall Saturday, is a new time slot for Fuji drama)
But its definitely not a bad rating at all(since its at 11)~
Hope the rating will be raising~
btw, joudan jyanai got 19.4 =.= Was a little disappointed, expected higher...
