REVIEW:
The Liar Game is one of those dramas which, if you start, you will never be able to stop. It's an addiction like crack. The series is composed of two seasons, totaling 20 episodes, and a finale. The whole synopsis is enough to get just about anyone interested. Although some of the secondary actors were less than appealing, I have to contend that they were just trying to illustrate the crazy characters that were illustrated in the script. Overall, this is a drama that will always make you want more. Even if you don't think that you would like this kind of psychological thriller, I urge you to give it a whirl. You will be glad that you did.
