[REVIEW] LIE TO ME

Ok talk about cute! This drama is so refreshing. Even though the plot is pretty cookie cutter, the production team sure picked a great cast. Each performance is believable and keeps the series from being too goofy to handle. Instead you get really fun characters and a silly story about a guy and a girl who get tangled together by a lie gone wrong.

If you haven’t already been watching the drama Lie To Me is a simple enough story. Gong Ah Jung, a Ministry of Culture official, mistakenly lies that she’s married to Hyun Ki Joon, a hotel manager from an affluent family. Their relationship is further complicated when Ki Joon’s ex-fiancée and a close friend of his brother’s, Oh Yoon Joo, reappears in his life.

As per usual, there is lots more going on in the drama but I will not delve into spoiler territory. I will say that though the story is simple enough it’s really perfect if you’re the mood to laugh and have your heart warmed. Being that it’s on 12 out of 16 episodes the story I only getting juicier. I think what I like most about the drama is that it does a great job at making seem real. The ‘villians’ in the story are more comedic than evil so instead you get havoc causing lies. Time and again I find myself thinking “Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive.” In short Lie To Me teaches us a moral…if your going to lie think it through! And of course as in all Korean dramas, love triangles abound. Old flings, puppy love, and even some two timing…all the makings of a classic!
