History Series / LiarGame

* BookEnds: The first season of the drama ends with Nao asking Akiyama again whether being foolishly honest is a bad thing, showing that [[StaticCharacter she hasn't changed at all]] over the series -- although she's certainly changed others.

** Note this only applies if you're looking at the first Liar Game drama; its popularity has now spawned a Liar Game 2 and a finale movie, where Nao is acknowledged to have grown.
* ChessMaster

* GenderFlip: Fukunaga is a transgender woman in the manga, but the adaptation plays her as a cis man.
* ManChild: Fukunaga
* RetCon: In the first ten episodes of the Drama's first season, the LGT Office is vague and mysterious, just like in the Manga, with no leader in sight. The eleventh episode [[spoiler:plugs a man named Hasegawa into the role at every turn, rewriting the reason why Nao and Akiyama were even thrown into the Liar Game. And THEN, the second season reveals that Hasegawa wasn't even the creator of it; he just invested a lot of money, despite the first season stating specifically that he was, Leronira coming to him for instructions.]]

* EnigmaticMinion: Eri. She starts off quite an unremarkable minion to the LGT,[[spoiler: but at the end of season 1 it's strongly hinted she's a ReverseMole. Then in season 2, she's (at least) nominally back on the LGT side.]]

* GenderFlip: Fukunaga. He's male in both versions, but in the adaptation, he is no longer a transvestite and no longer identifies with being female either.
