Trillion Game (2023)

Trillion Game delivered a fast-paced story that left me wanting more.

It’s one of those rare times I wished a drama wouldn’t end because it was just that good. Watching this felt like riding a rollercoaster—an exhilarating experience from start to finish.

One of the things I loved about this show was the talented cast, who brought the amazing characters from the source material to life.

Ren Meguro was a revelation as Haru Tennoji. Before watching this show, I had seen him act in Kieta Hatsukoi and As Long as We Both Shall Live. Typically, the characters he plays are gentle, which undoubtedly suits him perfectly. So when it was announced that he would be playing a character completely opposite to his usual roles, I was intrigued. I knew I had to watch this show as soon as it aired.

From the moment he stepped onto the screen, he stole the spotlight and captivated audiences with his charm. Even my aunt pointed out how much she loved seeing Haru’s mischievous smile. Casting him in this role gave him the opportunity to showcase his range as an actor.

Gaku, played by Hayato Sano, was another incredible addition to the talented ensemble. While detailing everything I loved about Gaku would risk giving away too many spoilers, one thing is for sure: he was the perfect partner-in-crime. I also loved how we got to see his character grow over time.

And let’s talk about the women in this show! Mio Iwata was sassy and fearless. It was impossible not to love her—she had beauty, brains, and an impeccable sense of fashion. The tension between Kiri and Haru was such a delight to watch whenever it came up.

Rounding out the Trillion Game trio was Riko Fukumoto’s Rinrin, who I believe served as the story’s moral compass. Her portrayal of a president striving to do what’s best for everyone, despite the challenges, was admirable. You can’t help but root for her and the rest of the team.

I also believe that the show was pretty straightforward with its goals. After the first episode, the audience was given an idea of what seemed to be the show's endgame: reaching the trillion-dollar goal by following a roadmap. What everyone was really here for though, was seeing how Haru, Gaku, and Rinrin would make this goal a reality.

Even though it sometimes feels like you have to suspend your disbelief (because not everything can be solved by the power of friendship), there’s something so compelling about giving in to that illusion even just for a bit.

Long story short, Trillion Game is a drama that you do not want to miss. By the time it ends, you would want to hop on a time machine to go straight to 2025 for the movie release.

Ain’t that usual kind of game we see from mainstream shows

Love everything about this show. I learned a lot just by watching the tension and plots that the story has to offer. Both of the main characters are loveable in their ways. Their combination was too powerful; one was intelligently clever in technical and scientific aspects while the other one knew how to play with someone right on top of his palm. I swear, their pairing is cuter than some mainstream romance series out there!

Meguro Ren is a beast. Never in my mind would I imagine that the actor who played so gentle and sweet in Kieta Hatsukoi could be badass and playful in this drama. This is the first Sana Hayato project that I watched and I am already loving him. At first, the story of this show is something about a deathly kids game based on its title but never expected it to be more realistic and indulgent. It allows me to be interested in how a successful business works, the cycle of stocks and investments, marketing the business, and many other things.

It was a roller coaster of a challenging journey that started with a trivial game plan, to starting their start-up company and making it well-known in the world of business. AI was already a very good concept of a company but then, they are the most selfish person in the world, and they also win the gaming and media industry. I swear, watching them win every time was a sparkling event through my eyes. If a second season is possible, I am looking forward to how they will counter the upcoming big challenges and the new game plan that Haru and Gaku is about to untold during the epilogue.

Will make you crave for more...

The Imperfectly Successful Startup
A thousand points for the way they portrayed the journey from zero to hero with their startup. Portraying everything out into the screen gives the perfect reality check needed about startups. Let's be honest, many don't survive such races with the 'bigger players' in the field. Startups get taken over and crushed, even about that, they gave us a glimpse of that part in the evening. But the way our leads kept fighting their battle till the end without giving up is so damn satisfying.

The Toe Curling Romance
There is barely a moment of physical intimacy, despite that, the nerve-wracking chemistry between Haru and Kirika is undeniable. "Their eyes speak louder than words." They are both the prime example. And the way it is so beautifully captured.... one of a kind that leaves you craving for me. I have heard people saying he/she is stubborn, I want to show them this is what stubborn means. The Perfect Stubborn Couple.

The Acting 😌
•Haru, is a cunning beautifully drafted liar. This was so perfectly put out, he's smart, cunning and calculative moves and keeps on adding the surprise element every episode. There was no better person to portray him than Meguro Ren. In the first episode, he surprised me with the perfect transition while switching languages, and the way his eyes spoke when he was watching Kirika through the glass of the building spoke volumes. I knew then choosing this was a wise idea.
•Gaku, the sweet intelligent kindhearted fighter. It was his belief in Haru that gave him strength initially, but the success fueled him with a lot more confidence even though it is too slow and the present scenes where they show him as the president shows the growth. One of the reasons we need next season, to see him completely confident with his decisions.
•Kiriko, she ATE and left NO crumbs, her moves, her wardrobe, her shoes and her eyes. She's an Icon. From the moment she marks Haru and Gaku in the interview to the moment she walks up to support rebuilding Trillion Games, every moment she is on screen she will make you question your thoughts about the situation and surprise you with an even more stunning move.
•Takahashi, the perfect impression of honesty. The first and foremost decision which I felt was the best by Haru and Gaku was hiring her. Her character growth was the best among all of them. She grew confident with her honesty and strength.

Can watch it again a Trillion Times!!

This series fucking blew my mind. every single episode was so damn interesting and worth the time. I am so glad I watched this. So so glad. What a brilliant cast, bg music score and cinematography. I don't think I will be able to forget Haru and Gaku anytime soon. Meguro Ren's acting and face is a masterpiece. Loved them.

Kirihime was brilliant. Rinrin annoyed me at some scenes but she was a great balancer for their company. I am hoping for a s2 I kinda miss them already. A great adaptation with a spectacular cast and their acting on point. You think something, Haru has planned it all for months ago. He is so damn good. Gaku is an introvert but his split personality acting is always so damn hilarious.
