Da-jung pays off her fathers’ debt and returns to school, and Woo-jin has peace and friendship– the two things anyone needs to move forward. Sung-hoon– who did not die, yay! –will recover. Bulldog and Actor Gu are able to return to their professions. Da-jung won the game, but true to her word, split the cash with the others. The epilogue was pitch perfect, giving every character a fitting resolution to their own arc. In that moment, Liar Game gave a perfect middle finger to that particular idea. Then he saved the guy who killed his mother. Woo-jin spent 11-and-a-half episodes saying that people are only out for themselves. Woo-jin figures out what happened and shoves him out of the way. He has succeeded in going back to the one memory that has dominated him, so what else does he have to do with his life? Yet, he doesn’t die. Fine with the trauma to Da-jung, fine with the fact that PD Lee will likely end up in prison, and most importantly, fine with death. Do-young knows she’s going to kill him, and he looks fine with that.
And she, unknowingly, has a genuine bullet. Da-jung, still loyal to Woo-jin, turns her gun on Do-young. What cemented this drama as incredible was when the actually loaded gun got fired. That said, it did allow Da-jung to claim a large role in a finale that would have otherwise been dominated by Woo-jin and Do-young. Maybe if they’d mentioned her “summer at camp” more, it would have worked better. I’m unsure about the reveal that Da-jung was with Woo-jin and Do-young at the orphanage, though. It’s very clear that Do-young has been becoming more and more unhinged as the game has gone on, driven to get back to the last moment where his life made sense. I love how when Do-young starts gloating, everyone immediately realizes that he has gone off the deep end. We don’t know who has it, or who each person will be aiming at. Woo-jin has turned on a distraught Da-jung in order to save her father, Da-jung is see-sawing on who she wants to shoot more, and Do-young is smiling like a kid in a candy store. The chilling factor is amped up for the final round of the game: Woo-jin, Da-jung, and Do-young are completely isolated from both the crew and the other contestants. The game transforms in an instant to a very chilling reality. As much as I know there’s no danger, it’s absolutely terrifying to see everyone pointing guns at each other. It’s a variation on Russian Roulette, played with real guns and blank bullets. The game itself is easily the most terrifying thing all series.
They lose, but they prove that there’s more to them cast fodder. We get to see Bulldog and Actor Gu compete against Do-young in the Losers Resurrection. I can’t remember the last time a show left me with such a sense of satisfaction while simultaneously sequel begging.Įpisodes 11 and 12 are just brilliant. The final episodes managed to dance over those lines like they were nothing.
#Liar game japanese drama episode 11 series
Yes, All of Them.įor a series like Liar Game, there is a very fine line between a finale making sense and being predictable, and between being shocking and being believable. I got the shakes waiting for new episodes.
Liar Game has got to be one of the most amazingly addictive series ever created. In this suspenseful drama, we experience the same desperation, frustration and hope that this young girl goes through as the true motive of the game is being revealed.Dear sweet 5-pound, nine-ounce baby Jesus. You’d be shocked how ugly people could be when it comes to greed. She’s too honest to win such game, but with the aide by a genius con artist, she survives each tournament. An ordinary college student, Nao Kanzaki (Erika Toda) is suddenly pulled into this crazy game where you compete how well you can lie. You have to beat your opponent otherwise you’ll be in debt.
