A bitter sweet tragedy
Love, Lies was a beautiful tale of friendship, betrayal, and revenge. Honestly, I do not blame the way she chose to take revenge on her best friend and the boyfriend, as they were so wrong for betraying her and discarding her like an object.
The story itself is interesting because it doesn’t just highlight a friend who steals your boyfriend, but it’s a story of a friend who steals all of your dreams. It starts with stealing her dream of becoming the heart of Josen, then she takes away the respect of the singer she admires, then the popularity, and then the boyfriend. It feels painful because she was the one who opened a door for her friend when she was sold off, and after all this, she takes everything and leaves her with nothing. The worst part is the way the best friend was expecting her to still come and support her, blind to her own actions.
I don’t blame the way she decided to take revenge; I think the way her own best friend and the boyfriend were barely giving any thought to her really showed how much they did not care about her. It gave her this feeling of not being important and easily discardable, and those feelings are the ones that make a person take revenge and destroy it all.
The ending was so sad, and you can see how much being underestimated and discarded affected her. It is a bittersweet movie and a terrible tragedy for everyone involved.
Acting-wise, I really enjoyed them, but I wish some of the areas were a bit more prolonged to build a bit more buildup. But overall, it was a nice watch.
