hm.
now, i knew i would like this to an extent from the get-go. it's why i wanted to watch it in the first place.— i originally planned to watch this drama last year, the moment it aired...but i forgot all about it. today, i feel extremely bad that i missed out on this gem when i could've been up to date with it. alas, i'm here now. && i dunno if my review is going to make any sense, fair warning.
— it's hooky, & the story is really promising from episode one. it doesn't take long for everything to turn upside down, & i'm a firm believer that the side arcs of this drama were as equally engaging as everything that was happening with our main characters. i liked the pacing, & i also liked how everything was revealed to the viewers, one by one. i don't think that the romance was written badly at all, but i do think that the chemistry, or lack thereof, between the two leads is what painted the final picture of the main dynamic for me...let me explain.
— it got overshadowed by the bat-shit crazy circumstances they found themselves in. there's plenty of scenes & opportunities (romantic per se) that could've been utilized to strengthen their bond, instead of dumping heavy layers of trauma on top of them at all times. there were moments where i just wanted something lighthearted for the main couple, but the universe just wouldn't freaking allow it. to add onto this, i felt extremely bad for kang-min. what could've been a path for his own individual story & finding his own happiness, he was used as a mere puppet for the bigger picture, & his character did nothing to deserve such treatment. he's an interesting character, & i hoped we'd get more of his individual arc...but oh well, not everything can be perfect.
— this drama doesn't get enough credit for completely giving into fan service & giving the most clear, satisfying ending for all of those people who like happy endings. everything was settled, & every single character was shown at the end. it's a breath of fresh air, being able to experience the climax in full. all in all, there were parts that could've been better, & i felt discouraged & disappointed somewhere around ep.13, but the last two episodes saved the entire drama for me.
A GEM.

Visually speaking this series is beautiful. From the actors to the sets to the wardrobe. The production and cinematography was very well done. Even the OST was nice and never felt repetitive. The actors also did a very good job and I have no complaints from their performances. This series however fairly lackluster. It is a beautiful story that is wrapped in very neat packaging but for the heavy subject matter it did not move me as much as I wanted. The plot moves in a predictable pace with conveniently placed side characters to fill in gaps of knowledge and a realistic albeit boring ending. There isn't anything that really excites you about this show. It is cute and sweet and the main couple is very healthy for each other, and I do truly appreciate this healthy relationship since toxic ones are more often showcased nowadays.
It is a nice show to watch and I enjoyed it to through till the end but this will fall in the pile of shows that are okay and nice but won't leave an impression on me.

A lovely drama that has a great story line progression
It's a great story first of all. The plot is genuinely very unique and the plot twists are majorly unexpected (atleast on my part) and it's incredibly interesting too. I loved how the storyline progression was slow but still had a lot of info going on. The acting once again, was absolutely incredibly awesome. The cast have put together a great show that is very entertaining for sure. The music is not outstanding or anything but it is certainly good and very mysterious... Which suits the plot very very well. Personally I wouldn't rewatch but it's probably worth it. Overall, a lovely drama with an incredibly beautiful plot. 🤥💲👩🏻💼🏘️⚽🧑🏻💻🩸🩴Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Good Enough
Korean Drama " My Lovely Liar " is a fantasy romance about a girl who can detect lies and a man who is done lying.The drama starts off strongly, with the main couple getting to know each other and a love story slowly brewing, with enough adorable moments to support the light atmosphere. The mystery of the male lead's past was another factor that kept things interesting for a while, confusing the viewer as to what was his true intentions.
However, towards the ending, things started getting messy. Sure, the romance was cute and the couple had chemistry, even though the love triangle was underdeveloped and unnecessary, but the mystery wasn't handled nicely and it got chaotic. The use of many cliche tropes as well as boring twists didn't aid at all to make things better. The final episode, in addition, felt like a filler rather than an actual conclusion.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast, and the fantasy element was managed nicely.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Nenhuma mentira foi dita nesta resenha hihihi
Achei a proposta do roteiro super legal e original. Os primeiros episódios foram o que me pegaram de jeito e me fizeram dizer "é, esse aqui eu preciso assistir". Depois de algum tempo, comecei a achar tedioso a história porque tudo girava em torno no assassinato da ex namorada e o casal principal ficou muito sem graça, porém, resolvi terminar porque estava perto do final e que bom que fiz isso!!Quando que eu imaginaria que o plot twist seria não o fato que o assassino era o empresário dele, mas sim, que o motivo pelo qual ele fez aquilo era por estar apaixonado pelo DoHa 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Minha cara ficou no chão com isso! Gostei como trataram tudo e não demonizaram um personagem gay por ele ser gay, mas porque ele cometeu um crime. A história me prendeu legal a a partir disso, gostei como cada personagem secundário teve seu momento de destaque - que foi pequeno, o que é bom.

Lovely, unique, messy
I like the first a lot more.The story kinda of dragged a lot at the end. They didn't set up the viewers to be invested in the mystery part of the plot so I was only interested in the romance and the characters.
So the show should have ended 1 episode after they got together in my opinion and the killer should have been the father, that way the plot wouldn't be messy. ( too much )
Also I feel like they were trying to create a sense of community/ found family ( I don't know how to explain this well) like in those small town dramas
But I don't think it worked well here as we didn't know the stories of the individuals nor did we need to. So that's another thing that made the drama messy was too many unnecessary characters.

[heart] [heart]
It started off as bland but then when you started to understand why things happened the way they did, it started getting interesting. Especially the murder mystery embroiled between the characters and trust me, when the real murder was revealed it actually got me by surprise. cuz I NEVER saw that coming!! and the reason behind it is something no one could have guessed! That's why I said, things get interesting when you know why they did to why they did.And a [rose] for Kim So Hyun, my baby is getting better in her acting with each of her projects. [heart] [heart]

If you don't have anything else to watch.... check this one ...
the premise of the story is interesting.... a girl that can hear lies and how can she cope with that.In a world where we are in constant "please others" mode... lying is a giving. So you can imagine what kind of life this girl has.
But as a smart woman... she had made a business out of it.
Here I thought.. GOOD FOR YOU! she is not a victim...
Of course, she meets the ML and there is something strange with him.. (typical.. he is the exception to the rule).
I liked that she behaved very normal with him... even though he is super famous and used to have everybody wanting something from him.
She does not need him... that is a big difference.
their romance started with a sort of friendship and moved quickly into something else... that was nice.
the story itself was OK.... It kept me interested until the end...
I took points out because the end was a bit blah....
SPOILER HERE
she decided not to profit from her gift and stop using it as a business... I do not understand why, instead of evolving with it, she quits it...
her romance with ML was cute / a bit childish too. Again one of the many k-couples that have never kissed anyone else, and behave like teenagers, even though they are 30 year old.
Overall.. it is an OK story... if you have nothing else to watch, it is OK.

They delivered what they promised, an breezy full of butterfiles romcoms with a twist of mystery!
I understand that people may have two different camps in seeing how Min Hyun’s acting on screen but I strongly, I repeat, I STRONGLY, believe he delivers what Do Ha/ Seung Ju is supposed to be as a character. His awkwardness but direct personality shines through his acting. He perfectly portrays how years of distrust actually shaped him as a person and that is why trust is really the currency that he responded to, underneath he is still a shy and direct person. So Min Hyun, if you ever come across to this comment section, believe us that YOU DID WELL!The plot twist from Deuk Chan’s motive is not really the best shot, it would be more intriguing if the pas GF was really killed herself and everyone was just doubtful of Seung Ju because of the circumstances and easily dismissed all of his background an track records. It is a hard situation and therefore really intriguing to explore.
But setting aside the above, kudos to the production team who breaks all the KDrama rom com trope that I did not like: Miscommunication between the leads!!
Kdrama romcom usually spends a lot of time just to make us frustrated of why the leads does not have an open and honest conversation and deals with it cool headed. They like to throw the typical trope - I love you so it’s better for you to stay away from me, kind of thing which is so 2010 man.
Here they spent less than 2 episode of some quick truth checking and our main leads back on track without any presumption and annoying will they wont they thing which can easily drag the drama. That’s how big trust and open communication are placed in the front and center theme of this drama.
Few more details that I love as decades long of a Kdrama fan here: They did not make the ML good at cooking! ? well he did his best but the thoughts and effort that counts! Not everyone has to be perfect! And the FL is so confident and far from a damsel in distress type of girl which I love.
I do figure some gaps in writing and my guess is bcs they added some details on the spot. It may be unpopular opinion, but I ADORE THAT APPROACH. It is so refreshing and that is what makes this drama extra special! How often you see the NG scenes are actually included in the final cuts, the casts and the director must have the same braincells that their humor works.
So again overall if you are looking for an easy breezy romcoms that will give you butterflies - and not the kind of I am a rich heir and therefore I am here with all my staff to save you kind of thing - go watch this! They really have the GREENEST relationship in a KDrama land where you both know you need each other and you placed trust and communication as bridge to keep the relationship healthy.
They promise us a romantic comedy with a dash of mistery, and sure thing they delivered it!
So an easy 8.5/10 from a kdrama fan here!!

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.

What I like most about this drama is this there’s a lot of plot to keep it interesting till episode 16 The chemistry between the leads to is so good
And the way all characters executed their role is so perfect (especially the side characters)
I’m so impressed , I’m pretty sure majority of the viewers here won’t expect the show to be this good and interesting I’m suprised too hope they keep up the pace
