Reviews
Good Enough
Japanese Drama '' Game no Na wa Yukai '' is a psychological thriller-mystery.The drama is quite short, thus the story doesn't have the opportunity to properly develop and have a smooth progress. Therefore, everything happens rushedly, and it is difficult to believe the connection between the two main characters and the dynamics of their relationship.
On the other hand, the twists were unpredictable and the ending was nicely handled.
The performances were enjoyable as well by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.
