I would be really excited if Liar Game was remade for BBC America.

It would be cool to blend the scariness of the Japanese show and the reality TV show take from the Korean version. Liar Game doesn’t have anything culturally specific driving the story so that’s a huge issue removed. For example, when the jokes or story hinges on use of formal and informal speech, or other customs specific to South Korea and it’s key to moving the story along…it just doesn’t work well. Mostly I’m against these remakes because some of the things K-drama fans enjoy about the TV shows and some of the conventions unique to them just don’t work for an American audience. Whenever I hear of a western network or production company planning to do a remake of a K-drama or a J-drama, I’m always skeptical or flat out adamantly against it.

It’s far more creepy and mysterious because Liar Game is not happening in public, but being run by a (so far) nameless organization operating in the shadows, toying with the desperate or greedy participants. The Japanese show has two 13-episode seasons and a movie. It slightly alters the original Japanese manga storyline by making Liar Game and reality TV show that’s broadcast and emphasizes the psychological aspects of gamesmanship. The Korean Liar Game is 12 episodes and is just about to end. Currently I’m watching both the original Japanese and the Korean versions of the show.
