My Lovely Liar

I understand that people may have two different camps in seeing how Min Hyun's acting on screen but I strongly, i repeat, I STRONGLY, believe he delivers of what Do Ha/ Seung Ju is supposed to be as a character. His awkwardness but direct personality shines through his acting. He perfectly portrays how years of distrust actually shaped him as a person and that is why trust is really the currency that he responded to. So Min Hyun, if you ever come across to this comment section, believe us that YOU DID WELL!

The plot twist from Deuk Chan's motive is not really the best shot, it would be more intriguing if the pas GF was really killed herself and everyone was just doubtful of Seung Ju because of the circumstances and easily dismissed all of his background an track records. It is a hard situation and therefore really intriguing to explore.

But setting aside the above, kudos to the production team who breaks all the KDrama rom com trope that I did not like: Miscommunication between the leads!!

Kdrama romcom usually spends a lot of time just to make us frustrated of why the leads does not have an open and honest conversation and deals with it cool headed. They like to throw the typical trope - I love you so it's better for you to stay away from me, kind of thing which is so 2010 man.

Here they spent less than 2 episode of some quick truth checking and our main leads back on track without any presumption and annoying will they wont they thing which can easily drag the drama. That's how big trust and open communication are placed in the front and center theme of this drama.

Few more details that I love as decades long of a Kdrama fan here: They did not make the ML good at cooking! 😂 well he did his best but the thoughts and effort that counts! Not everyone has to be perfect! And the FL is so confident and far from a damsel in distress type of girl which I love.

I do figure some gaps in writing and my guess is bcs they added some details on the spot. It may be unpopular opinion, but I ADORE THAT APPROACH. It is so refreshing and that is what makes this drama extra special! How often you see the NG scenes are actually included in the final cuts, the casts and the director must have the same braincells that their humor works.

So again overall if you are looking for an easy breezy romcoms that will give you butterflies - and not the kind of I am a rich heir and therefore I am here with all my staff to save you kind of thing - go watch this! They really have the GREENEST relationship in a KDrama land where you both know you need each other and you placed trust and communication as bridge to keep the relationship healthy.

They promise us a romantic comedy with a dash of mistery, and sure thing they delivered it!

Nothing amazing or unique about this romcom, but it's an enjoyable light watch with some crime elements and intrigue.

The show focuses on a woman with a superpower of being able to detect lies, which she makes a good living out of, but has affected her trust in the people in her life and she's isolated. She meets a man who is accused of a crime and similarly isolated, and hijinks ensue. It's a simple but interesting premise.

The main leads are likeable and both have well developed backstories. The show does a good job developing the plot at a decent pace, with some well written twists and turns. Everything comes full circle by the end, and whilst not a super deep emotional show, it does have some interesting concepts about lying, when and why people choose to do it and the particular effects it has on how the main character perceives the world and her relationships. The romance is cute and wholesome, and doesn't rely on tropes - the communication of all the characters is refreshingly honest which suits the theme.

Would recommend for a light watch, just enough problem solving and mystery to keep you interested, and pretty cute and fluffy as a romcom should be.

When I started watching this one after a recent deluge of rom-coms on OTT, I underestimated its simple plot-line about a woman able to tell liars. After following the initial 6 episodes I can't wait to watch how the drama unfolds and how the leads handle different situations pertaining their not-so-common lives (read: lies).

The story complicates with simple twists and unforeseen but predictable circumstances, presented in a charming and feel-good format. The scenes are as beautiful as the leads. This one is like an icing on top of all the rom-coms released this year, with believable and real characters, charming take on a love story about second chances. To keep the plot running, a hidden backdrop runs throughout, creating sufficient tension between all the characters.

The story actively deals with a few of the current concerns like that of mental health problems: why not to take them lightly, plagiarism in the music industry: how the more-established people exploit, underpay and mistreat ghost-writers and non-famous talented people.

It's a great blend of a sweet second-chance romance, good plot, mystery, and some good acting.

When I started the drama I literally have no expectations but this is too good to describe. The fast storytelling. The lead actor suspense. Beside the ex-lover's sad come back.coz I thought to go with my ex but after seeing his situation I willnot go to my ex. Really the drama's 6 episode made me fall in love...Besides the Ost Run-Woody was very good specially the 1st part of the song is very good...But somewhere how kim so hyun behaviour towards her ex that's broke my heart. But still the lead couple gives me butterflies,chemistry is just🔥. Hope the drama will be a great hit in korea&worldly.

Hwang Min-hyun plays a successful song writer but in the past he was linked with his girlfriends disappearance but his mother bribed a policeman to cover up his involvement. Kim So-hyun plays Mok Sol-hee who has the ability to detect people lying and runs a successful business from a tarot cafe. They had a brief meeting shortly after his ex girlfriends disappearance but meet years later and even though she does not remember, he does and is drawn to her. Over the series we see their relationship develop and with her help he seeks the truth about the event that he is convinced he is responsible for. It is an enjoyable series with great acting from the entire cast and and I really enjoyed the earlier episodes, sadly it seemed to run out of steam at the end.
