My Lovely Liar

Drama had great potential but they didn't execute well. The main storyline was great but the supporting character's storyline was just there to occupy time for the episode. It felt like lazy writing to me. If they made the other character's plotline more relatable, it must've made the series more of a masterpiece than it already is. Other than that drama felt dragging after ep 7, if the episodes were cut down to 12 rather than 16 then really I'd be more satisfied. Regardless, the drama explores the point that the main characters had serious relationships before they met each other. It didn't hesitate to deliver the message that loving someone doesn't have to be your childhood crush or your first love. You can fall in love again, maybe with the right person. Also giving the message of communication is the key, don't assume things of your own both leads did that and faced big consequences. In the end, lying isn't a good thing but rather than just looking for honesty or truth, you should understand other people's perspective, which was my biggest takeaway from this show.

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.

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.

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.

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.
