Y'know, I really actually enjoyed this drama. The story was very unique, as unique as a kdrama can be, I suppose. It was enjoyable and I was actually surprised quite a few times. Every time they walked away, I honestly thought it would be the last time. I could have done less with the crying, but that's a kdrama cliche I've just gotten accustomed to (I mean, come on, I Miss You is one of my top 5 dramas so..). Eun Hye is one of my favorite actors, as well, and after watching this a second time (as it was one of the first kdramas I watched a couple years ago) I have been dazzled by Kang Ji Hwan. I think he's one of my favorite actors now, to be honest. The other aspect I liked about the show was there was no single evil entity, but a few different 'antagonists'. The difference between Lie to Me and other kdramas, though, is that I didn't particularly feel like any of them were just cold and evil to the bone, y'know? They pissed me off, and frustrated me, but they were understandable - I like that in a drama. It's refreshing. The acting was pretty phenomenal. Course, with Eun Hye, it was bound to be good, but Kang Ji Hwan brought his own spark and charisma to the show. If I had been a fan of both actors before they made the show, I would have been enthralled to hear that Eun Hye and Ji Hwan were going to be in a drama together. It's kind of like how it was with Shin Hye and Min Ho before Heirs came about. I fell in love with this drama all over again. Don't get me started on the music. I was so in love with the OST for this drama. I sang along everytime each of the songs came about, even the more melodramatic theme song. They were all beautiful and awesome, and I'm definitely going to be adding a few of them to my soundtrack. Kang Ji Hwan and Eun Hye sang my favorite song in the drama, and I'm glad they did. You can't miss Eun Hye's cute voice (thanks to her previous girl group days) and Kang Ji Hwan's adorable voice. They're both very talented, charismatic people and actors and it really shines through in this drama. I hope they can do a drama together again in the future... I gave this a high rewatch value because I watched it again and for the most part, it's pretty comical and light-hearted. There are some deeper, more melodramatic scenes, but the cute moments (and those kisses, oh god) were enough to fill my cuteness quota for the month. I would 100% recommend this to friends, especially ones who haven't seen many kdramas. It's a good gateway show!
