My Lovely Liar

Korean Drama " My Lovely Liar " is a fantasy romance about a girl who can detect lies and a man who is done lying.

The drama starts off strongly, with the main couple getting to know each other and a love story slowly brewing, with enough adorable moments to support the light atmosphere. The mystery of the male lead's past was another factor that kept things interesting for a while, confusing the viewer as to what was his true intentions.

However, towards the ending, things started getting messy. Sure, the romance was cute and the couple had chemistry, even though the love triangle was underdeveloped and unnecessary, but the mystery wasn't handled nicely and it got chaotic. The use of many cliche tropes as well as boring twists didn't aid at all to make things better. The final episode, in addition, felt like a filler rather than an actual conclusion.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast, and the fantasy element was managed nicely.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I'm actually very surprised how ratings go on most k-dramas and how some very good storylines are underrated. I immensely enjoyed the mystery throughout. I wasn't bored and found each character played well. The actors did a great job. Some dramas like family by choice, love next door are so overrated and the fact they have a higher rating truly upsets me. This k-drama deserves much love compared to a lot of others, that are hyped without any reason. I will totally recommend anyone to watch it. The fact that I could watch it in one sitting itself says it's a good plot. You cannot do it with most of the kdramas.

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.

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 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.
