My Lovely Liar (2023)

Good till it became a drag

The show did start off with a bang. The suspense factor was really there which I loved. The way the show made us believe that the ex k worded herself just for us to find out she was actually murdered.

The romance factor I feel was so comforting and cute. I do wish we got more of it than the suspense part sometimes but other than that it was actually so good. I think I loved it even more since I love the two main actors in it.

The only thing I feel made this show kinda meh at points was the random scenes with other characters. Also the plot twist of the best friend liking Do Ha was good but like at the same time kinda was just thrown out there. This also made it a weak point on why he killed the girl (even if it was unintentional). Like come on really that is why you did what u did. Just cuz she was gonna expose him to Do Ha is ridiculous and insane to me. I wished it was a more shocking reveal to be honest.

However, I did find comfort in the main lead’s relationship and made me want to continue watching for that.

Once the I realised the Biggest Lie I had to Drop This Sorry Tale

This story is based on a huge flaw.

I am dropping this At Episode 8 because of a huge gaping plot anomoly or more like character anomoly that renders it totally dissatisfying. It just hit me at end of Ep 8 that the FL is a huge hypocritical liar and the story should not exist.

I feel so bad for the 2ML, the reason they broke up was purely the FL unwillingness to tell him her secret and so get a clear answer off him. Its not how she could trust him if he couldn't tell her this big secret? Its she is literally lying to him by omission every single day of their relationship. So he is just a noble idiot but she is a liar who, rather than sharing her secret to save the relationship, just breaks up with him. Then, she blames him for cutting her off. When he is just trying to get well to go back to her.

So now that she is honest with ML, it's all ah that's nice they trust each other this is why he's better than 2ML no no no she just lied to the 2ML but doesnt to the ML SHE was and is the problem.. It's just too silly. If she gets honest with 2ML 3 yrs ago he obcs gets honest with her and boom their beautiful love continues they get married have babies.

So its actually farcical that when the 2ML hears that she can hear lies, he didn't explode and say WHAT THE HELL!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO? WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE ME EXPLAIN? YOU THOUGHT I WAS CHEATING OR SOMETHING WHEN I WAS BREAKING MY HEART TO PROTECT YOU. BUT IT WAS ALL A JOKE CAUSE YOU KNEW I WAS LYING BUT COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO TELL ME!! AND WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THIS HUGE LIFE AND RELATIONSHIP ALTERING SECRET?? AFTER WE WERE MARRIED WTF YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LIAR OF ANYONE EVER!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME. Etc etc

So now I feel this whole show and anything that happens now will be tarnished, and I just can't feel happy for the FL for the shitty way she has treated and is treating her ex BF.

She should be married to him. Instead now he and we have to watch her doing with a new guy what she wouldn't do for him be honest!!!!! Specifically at end ep 8 she says you dont have to explain why you apparently lied about killing someone I believe you and trust you so much I dont even want to know why it seems your lying or what it's all about.

She couldn't trust the 2ML the guy she agreed to marry for not telling her why he was going away for a few days!!! We also have to watch 2ML being all nice and understanding about it. At the very least, can't he call her out on her unbelievable hypocrisy. Who writes these glaring plotholes.

Am I making any sense? I think I am.

A Simple But Cute Relationship

I'd like to point out that their relationship isn't as extraordinary as in other dramas, but rather simple and adorable. The plot is primarily based on the trauma of the male lead and some of the trauma of the female lead. Kim Do Ha was traumatized by his girlfriend, who possibly committed suicide. As a result, he was arrested because they believe he is the murderer. At one point, he appears to believe he is a murderer because he was responsible for his girlfriend's death. He has become a well-known songwriter and has distanced himself from the public eye as a result of that case that occurred many years ago. Now, let's talk about the trauma of the female lead. Sol-Hee's trauma was caused by her mother, she discovered her mother was conning people to make money when she was young. When one of the people her mother conned met her, the female lead realized she was telling the truth and helped in finding the money. When she discovered the money, this person ran with it. For many years, she felt indebted to her mother because of this. Her power may appear to others as a blessing, but it is a curse to her. She can tell if someone is lying but cannot tell why they are lying. She couldn't date for very long due to this power, and also the reason why she and her mother don't get along well. The relationship between the male lead and the female lead began when he moved next door due to reporters wanting to know how he looks. At first, their relationship was simply that of neighbors, but they slowly came to know each other better. He would always hide his face from people and she accidentally helped him because of her powers. She thought he was strange for hiding his face, her curiosity got the best of her and she took down his mask to see how he looks. She later discovered he was the famous songwriter Kim Do Ha before he told her because of work (it's a job where she gets paid to tell someone if someone else is lying to them or not). He eventually gains confidence in showing his face to the female lead.

Another Kdrama grossly overrated on this site. As I write this, it is 8.6/10 with over 1000 people accumulated. Like really??! Male lead actor looks like Cha Eun Woo's 2nd cousin and the girlies fall like a puddle on the floor. I don't get it!

No one notices how sub-par the writing is? No one notice how confusing and similar the fl lie/truth bells are? No one noticed all the chance meetings that take place to a ridiculous degree? Leads end up in the same apartment building (apartment b. Is huge with an elevator for several floors, but ml moves right next door to fl. What are the odds? Plus their balconies happen to be side by side). Fl wishes to see ml and magically he happens to be walking right in front of her store. Ml gets out of car at the exact moment fl is leaving apartment building. Fl happens to stop by at a jazz club ml regularly plays the piano at and of course this is the night he's there. No one in a city would run into each other like this. Heck they wouldn't even run into each other like this in a small village. Leads have been in Seoul for 5 years and managed just fine to never cross paths. But suddenly to drive the plot forward in this story they by chance come across each other daily?? Wtf? Also, the cliche Kdramas refuse to let go of where ml and fl know each other in the past is beyond over the hill. This is just lazy writing plain and simple. You have to turn your brain off with a lot of these shows I swear...I mean you know it's bad when you got the female lead legit hopping like a bunny in front of the male lead.

Who is the actual "LOVELY LIAR"?

First thing first is I have enjoyed watching this amazing drama over the pass 8 weeks,
I never would have thought my Mondays & Tuesdays would come alive each week.
The story is unique with the female lead Sol Hee can hear lies but what I found funny
she tells lies as well to hear them lol. The Male Lead Do Ha is a Composer, adorable and a
sweet heart that lives in fear as he was framed of killing his ex. The CEO made him hide from
everyone and never been seeing in public or while composing. Even via Video conference he
hides his true identity. When Sol Hee met Do Ha she noticed he never tell lies which complicate matters
when she tried to figure things out after he told her about him been framed for a crime he didn't commit.
For the first time, Sol Hee heard a lie after Do Ha's subconscious part of his mind believes he killed his ex
but said "I did not kill her" in his sleep.

Over the time she figured out why she heard that as a lie and remembered her ex told her something
that she heard it as a lie and in fact it was because he had cancer and he was protecting her from
going through the sorrows of his health. She then realized Do Ha was telling the truth so she finally believed him
as not been the killer and they worked together in hunting the actual culprit. I won't spoil everything as it would
not be fun to watch knowing everything. This part of the Drama is a bit complicated to understand while watching
It is best to find out who killed Do Ha's ex while watching! I admit that I guessed who it was but got
confused a couple of times and thats what made the story enjoyable because the writers makes the
viewers play detectives along the way lol. Awaiting last 2 episodes to find out who was the Lovely Liar!

Update!!!!
After completing the entire series, I updated my overall score at 9.5/10 because they should have kissed
after the proposal or at the last scene. I loved episode 15 with the scene the female lead finally called him Oppa!

If I say I like this drama very much, you can hear a ring bell.

I don't want to lie. Starting is very good, but when episodes continue I feel they try to push something. The story starts very unique and mysterious. FL has her own story, ML is mysterious. They


But I can't feel the chemistry between FL and ML. They can show their feeling very well I think. Kim So Hyun was amazing in School 2015. But nowadays her acting doesn't improve. She can't show the character's feelings very well. Sometimes I feel she just reads the lines. They look like siblings or friends.

Also, supporting characters are so annoying and just put in the story because of the screen time. I don't understand why they are in the story. They are sooo extra to get closer main character. I just skip them.

The plot feel flat halfway through

I only stopped at episode 10 after I binged watched it in one go and after I slept it off, I am thinking of picking another kdrama.
It's a shame really how it started good despite some issues. It has potential but I knew already from the first episode that this will be a letdown in the end. The directorial seems very good with action scenes but was hasty, ill-paced and shifty with the other scenes. There are scenes that left me confused if my app was bugging as the next scenes and pictures are just introduced so suddenly and sometimes I just felt that they should prolonged some scenes and shorten some. It really felt like it had a newbie director.
For a serious tv series, it sometimes pull some excessive scenes to build up the plot which was sad because the plot only has one main plot and it's disappointing as there could still be areas that the story can grow and with more plots to developed.

The reason I watched this one despite its lack of hype after it finished airing all the episodes was because of the two main leads which I am both a fan of. They are really the reason why I had stayed for ten episodes and after the revelation and resolution of MLs past , I just don;t have a reason to continue anymore. Firstly, I think the script and direction has made their character hard to portray justifyingly. They are both good actors but they are given a stale characters. Hwang Min Hyun's character was mostly wearing a mask all through out episode 8, couple with his messy hair, it's really hard to like him as I can see him just a random person without seeing his face and it's hard to see his emotions and feel for him. Kim Soo Hyun's character was boring, it was given some back stories but it felt shallow.

The plot also were only focused on MLs past and they were milking it all throughout. That reall made me disappointed how the writers ability was just that much and the director can't even suggest to elevate the story and made the plot more than just a single plot that can be resolve in a few episodes without putting so much filler scenes in between just to add screen time and to finish the whole 16 episodes.

I really miss Legend o the Blue Sea and Goblin's plot progression as I hardly find it in Kdramas nowadays, they made so much potential and they exceeded what was expected by creating so many plots, and interesting one too, all through out the end.

WHEN ASSIGNMENTS WERE ACTUALLY DONE.

I for one would say I personally had zero expectations of this drama. Like ZERO. One for the reason I was skeptical if they could actually pull off this plot like a strong woman did.

like dear, You're throwing In ROM COM and thriller into the same room. LIKE LITERALLY TWO OPPOSITE GENRES. and second for the fact I was skeptical about the FL

so I went into this drama with zero expectations. I had no Kdrama to see so I was like Ok. Piss me off Mr drama. and I was completely blown away. Like Away ?

I started with ep1 when it aired and dear... I was impressed. Because EP was literally what was need to GRIP the right audience. I always emphasis on dramas having a solid 1st EP because most viewers won't stick around for ep2 to see if it gets better. But this drama actually UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and did the job.

that ep one was a mixture of what was needs. comedy? thrill yass please. the overall flow of it was just right. and the characters setup was actually necessary. Unlike drama who waste time on UNNECESSARY plots. This drama actually brought to us what was needed from day one.

And that end of ep1 had my jaws...On the flaw. I was crazy excited. And ep2 didn't disappoint at all! Like.. It was on point! A perfect follow up and blend to it all.

and so far I can actually says it's following the genre of ROM com and Thriller Come together. And so far doing it well. And for people saying this drama doesn't know what it wanted to be...Dear it's literally a Romrom thriller or so. do you ASSIGNMENTS before watching lol.

Another reason I was skeptical about this one was the FL. Seriously School 2015 was her only drama I actually liked. and I was skeptical if she could do well here..But I'm honoured. she is actually doing so well. Like well enough to pull off the script and character.

Her character and context of a lie detector is actually well done that I'm curious to see where it goes. ( Hopefully not bad) And ML, If you loved him AOS, you'll love him here. because it's pretty much similar character set-up. and I can say he was born for such roles?.

The plot itself has a lot of potential and good potential to be a wow plot. I actually find it pretty much interesting. And the idea of a lie detector FL was funny and interesting to follow up. and The Ml Mysterious personality is one suiting follow up.

The support characters, I'm surprised have actually been given a Benefiting and suiting introduction to the story. And they're good too here

But my favourite character remains The FL driver, Like hahah. Give him more Screentime and we're ok?? An ideal Fan boy he is

Overall the plot execution was actually done well. and I won't say a 100% perfect EXECUTION but it was done JUST RIGHT FOR WHAT WAS NEEDED.

So I'm basically looking forward to where this one goes because so far it has my attention for more.

if you're hesitant about this one, I suggest giving it a go. because it's actually good. if you're up for such genre mixture, don't hesitate. it's actually good here. but if you're not sure what Genre it is, please do some research or watch strong woman to see what to expect.
