Mr Honesty (2020)

MALE CEO WHO HATE LIES MEETS MISS LIE

Updated!! watching it in 2023. Romance 10/10 , annoying characters 10/10, last few episode dropped the rating from 9.5 to 8.5. Those side characters are way too annoying, and the fact that the male lead got mad at her...


I enjoyed this drama for the most part, up until the end, the end kinda ended abrupt ( will talk about it later)

Story: Male CEO absolutely hates people to lie, so he insist on tell the truth all the time which sometimes truth can hurt. Female lead is the opposite, she likes to tell more white lies. ( male lead had an traumatic encounter with a lie and vow to never lie again) The two meet after the male lead exposed her cheating bf and also made her lose her job. She ends up applying to the male lead company. They start off on the wrong foot, because he is finding that she always lies. The female lead helps the male lead talk and try to get clients for his architect company. Slowly the two fall in love, and his truthfulness starts to change her, and her white lies start to change him. She also helps heal the male lead and second male lead's broken friendship.

The female lead doesn't lie to hurt people , but she does white lies because she doesn't want to hurt her family, but also because she is scared to face the truth. With the help of the male lead, he encourages her to be herself and not to be scared or think she is a small potato. Through her struggles , the male lead sees that not all lies are bad.

Romance: this was one pair that was oozing with chemistry. every kiss was very cute and passionate ;) The way the male lead expresses his love for her is a little too much for my heart to handle. ( heart flutters) Seriously loved all the scenes.
I kinda skipped over the second male/female pairing love story lol not at interesting to me .

Annoying character: there was one lol , the female partner who liked the male ceo. Doing too much tio try to ruin the leads relationship. Please dont be a b....

Ending: not going to spoil it, but i felt like it could of wrapped it up better. I felt there was some unnesscary/ didnt make sense plot development towards the end.

Overall: I really liked the meaning and messages behind the story. its not bad as other review said. Also cute female lead, hot male lead, nice chemistry too.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good show. Not a great show at all. Should not have been 31 episodes, seriously. It has a pretty interesting story when you read about it, it's based off a manhua, which from my experience, shows that are, happen to never disappoint me and honestly, the chemistry between the main leads is wonderful and outrageous and it literally makes your heart swoon. It starts off with a girl that's just trying to live her life and make a living but things never happen to go her way, she tells a little white lie to make it through life here and there, but honestly, who doesn't? Then you have a rich male lead who happens to hate liars due to a past trauma and honestly, then it ends up your average CEO and assistant drama from there, which is never too bad. But then there's WAY too much going on in it. The second male lead is stupid and annoying and you just want to punch him in his butt chin because he's seeking some whack ass "revenge" you end up thinking the second female lead is gonna be awesome, a great friend and etc but she turns into a dumb obsessed with the male leads type and I HATE that, she deserved her own love story, not whatever stupid story they wanted to toss in. Then you have our great female lead, with a STUPID family that's useless and pointless and they honestly could have missed me with that part of the story tbh. But thank god for our male and female lead, the saviors of the show, if it wasn't for their relationship and romance, this show would just be a dump, but they really do make it up for the pointless, I cannot stress enough, pointless drama. Especially towards the end, talk about pointless. lol.

The acting was great, the ML was good at what he does, his emotions, his acting, the way he freely talked, this was meant for him. The female lead was clueless, but sweet, innocent and naive but she does it great, you know what I mean? They clicked, the chemistry was there, the kisses were amazing, the whole relationship really just made the show for me. I loved them, I loved these two together. As far as everyone else and the rest of the story? Didn't care for them, at all. I liked the best friend, the little sister, but everyone else can KICK ROCKS.

The music was fantastic, worth listening too and really fitting.

Overall, I just can't put myself through to watching this drama again, I'll probably rewatch any scene our main leads are in and their romance factors and watch every kiss or just cute scene with them but the WHOLE show? Miss me with that tbh. I felt like I was watching some kiss and slap Thai drama, I was like "WHAT KIND OF THAIANESE DRAMA AM I WATCHING???" Overall, I'm glad I watched it. I'm happy to push through because it was so romantic in those aspects and they made me click with them. It started slow, got draggy and those are downfalls. But the COUPLE WAS AMAZING. SO 10/10 FOR THEM, 8/10 for every other POS that made me mad in this show.
