It is a watchable short modern drama about infidelity and revenge.
We All Lie is a modern drama about infidelity and revenge. It is a watchable short drama with only 16 episodes. The script is alright from episodes 1-14; the last two are stupid and predictable. The acting is C-rated from the entire cast. The main CP's acting is not great. Tan Yan Yan acted better than the FL.Synopsis: Su Li, a well-known screenwriter, thinks she has a wonderful husband and marriage. However, she gets an anonymous message telling her that Zhang Shu Heng has been cheating on her, with her best friend no less! After confirming that it's true and filled with pain and hate caused by such a betrayal, she decides to divorce him... until she becomes aware that he has no assets. Rather than being fooled twice, first by being cheated on and second by giving him half her net worth, she postpones the divorce. Yet this begs the question: how will Su Li get her revenge?
My Reviews:
1. It is a watchable short drama in which the 2nd FL acted better than the FL.
2. The acting of the entire ensemble is C-rated at best.
3. The main CP's on-screen chemistry is okay, and their acting skills are mediocre.
4. The last two episodes were not needed. It should have ended when she got her revenge.
5. The plot is nothing special. It is repeatable in many modern Cdramas.
Overall, it is a watchable. I give it a 6.0 rating.

Strong start, then the need for schemes took over
I got hooked, and really enjoyed the first 6 episodes.The story was strong, and the acting was superb.
Then, the crazy plots kind of took over, and what could have been a really good, gripping drama became a more “run of the mill melodrama” with mischevious people and one plot after the other.
The acting of both the FL and the 1st ML did impress me, which was one of the main reasons why I didn’t drop this. The other reason was that I was curious what kind of ending they would give the story.

"We All Lie" is a revenge story. Su Li is the main character, a famous writer that basically has the perfect life, but everything changes when she discover that her husband is cheating with her friend. Her rage can't be controlled, so Su Li makes a revenge plan, to make the people who hurt her suffer the same way.Su Li's plan seemed fun, but since the moment she gets Shu Heng arrested, the drama quality drops completely. Wei De's character is unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the story, it was kind of ridiculous to put a love interest for her so suddenly, when she just lost her baby and with her ex-husband in jail, even that Wei De was planned by Ying Ying.
Subjects don't last one episode, Shu Heng found out too soon about Su Li's revenge plan, I wanted to see her fooling him for much longer, that took the fun out of it.
No comments to the scene that Ying Ying's plan was discover by everyone and she lost her mind and try to stab Su Li with a scissors! HAHAHAHA'
I always loved a good revenge story, but the drama development is flaw, is too rushed, they couldn't really appreciate the story line. The revenge is over so fast, we barely have time to enjoy it.
In conclusion, "We All Lie" was a drama that had some good moments, but lost the change to be better.
