Lie to Me (2011)

STORY:
Quite confused why this drama has more low scores than high for i actually liked it. Yes i am disappointed that she lost her quirkiness once he fell for her but you quickly forget and still smile with them.
The brother had me worried with his feelings but thankfully they did not have him acting upon them again. The aunt was at times too noisy and just a hater and the fact she befriends the one that took her man still has me questioning the relevance within the show. Literally just concetrate on the main 2 characters because the other supporting actor's relevance is not important and just makes the show longer for no reason


ACTING:
They was not outstanding acting but they did their job

I have literally just finished watching the very last episode of this drama, and to be honest, I am somewhat--no, I am VERY infuriated, for whatever reasons.

The drama was really good at first. It was really great at the beginning, honestly, and I hoped it would have a satisfying ending.

The story is nothing original, and it's just like most romances out there, which isn't a surprise, thought at least those romances managed to keep the interest level going. Being a standard romance, the first half was still good, until maybe the tenth episode. The entire plot was completely predictable, though.

The acting was really good, and I loved all of the characters. They really did a good job portraying them. I loved Sang Hee, and really hoped his character would develop more and cause some tension as a rival, but nothing really happened, and that was a HUGE letdown. Still fuming about that, considering they really kind of just shoved him in the story then dropped him.

I wasn't fond of Yoon Joo, but she was still lovable. She had more potential for story progressing, but nothing interferes with the two mains, apparently.

As for the last six episodes, they were boring. It was repetitive over and over again and nothing new happened. Why? Because they were already so in love with each other, that whoever it was writing decided NOBODY would ever interfere again.

So the others just gave up. Bye Sang Hee, and Yoon Joo. Well, Sange Hee gave up long ago.

Anyway, it really was very, very boring until maybe the last ep. Nothing crazy happened except maybe that episode, where there was some tension that I enjoyed. Of course, we all know that happy endings are a must, but I was rooting it the other way.

The ending was really, er, okay. It was too typical, but what can you do?

Ah, overall, it was good until the tenth or so episode. I really wish they had actually, you know, had Sang Hee do something.

Wouldn't rewatch it, except maybe some scenes from the beginning.

I enjoyed watching this drama, but have some critique for it.

Story:::
The story line was okay, it was understandable, and probably is the first marriage-contract-dramas I've seen. It was funny at certain points. Followed the typical drama story evolution (if you watch a lot of dramas you know what I'm talking about). Truthfully, I expected much more conflict, but it was an easy-going no misconception drama.

Acting/Characters::
Acting was well done. Character were well portrayed. However, there was a sudden change in the main Chaebol character that bothered me a lot. People don't tend to change personalities on a whim, which is what happened here. They attempted to show that he developed into a easy-going fella but they didn't do it well enough. However, the main lead actress maintained her character very well and the character was developed well enough to let the viewer know what was going on. She was good :)

Music::
I like the OST. The songs matched the moods, unlike other dramas where they're playing happy music at the saddest situation smh...Anywho OST was good and music was well placed.

Rating:

8/10

Y'know, I really actually enjoyed this drama. The story was very unique, as unique as a kdrama can be, I suppose. It was enjoyable and I was actually surprised quite a few times. Every time they walked away, I honestly thought it would be the last time. I could have done less with the crying, but that's a kdrama cliche I've just gotten accustomed to (I mean, come on, I Miss You is one of my top 5 dramas so..). Eun Hye is one of my favorite actors, as well, and after watching this a second time (as it was one of the first kdramas I watched a couple years ago) I have been dazzled by Kang Ji Hwan. I think he's one of my favorite actors now, to be honest. The other aspect I liked about the show was there was no single evil entity, but a few different 'antagonists'. The difference between Lie to Me and other kdramas, though, is that I didn't particularly feel like any of them were just cold and evil to the bone, y'know? They pissed me off, and frustrated me, but they were understandable - I like that in a drama. It's refreshing.

The acting was pretty phenomenal. Course, with Eun Hye, it was bound to be good, but Kang Ji Hwan brought his own spark and charisma to the show. If I had been a fan of both actors before they made the show, I would have been enthralled to hear that Eun Hye and Ji Hwan were going to be in a drama together. It's kind of like how it was with Shin Hye and Min Ho before Heirs came about. I fell in love with this drama all over again.

Don't get me started on the music. I was so in love with the OST for this drama. I sang along everytime each of the songs came about, even the more melodramatic theme song. They were all beautiful and awesome, and I'm definitely going to be adding a few of them to my soundtrack. Kang Ji Hwan and Eun Hye sang my favorite song in the drama, and I'm glad they did. You can't miss Eun Hye's cute voice (thanks to her previous girl group days) and Kang Ji Hwan's adorable voice. They're both very talented, charismatic people and actors and it really shines through in this drama. I hope they can do a drama together again in the future...

I gave this a high rewatch value because I watched it again and for the most part, it's pretty comical and light-hearted. There are some deeper, more melodramatic scenes, but the cute moments (and those kisses, oh god) were enough to fill my cuteness quota for the month.

I would 100% recommend this to friends, especially ones who haven't seen many kdramas. It's a good gateway show!

Lie to Me started out very well, but slowly degraded and became boring and without substance. I really enjoyed this drama from Episode 1-10 and there are quite a few memorable scenes, but after Episode 10, it seems like the writer of this drama seem to throw "sense" out of the window. Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan are terrific actors, but this drama did not exemplify that. This is one of the few dramas where I had to skip through the episodes, and I rarely do that. ): This drama may appeal to a minority of people, but to me and quite a few people I know, this drama is definitely disappointing. On the bright side, I hope to see YEH and KJH work together again, they have GREAT chemistry!

Thank God (or w/e deity u pray to) that I got to finish watching this drama. I loved the story of classic rich boy meets poor girl, falls in love, and does everything he can to woo her. I love that the outside influences were not as annoying in this drama like in others I've watched. Their discontent was felt but it didn't have as much effect on the relationship of the leads. I particularly enjoyed the fact that Hyun Gi Joon stuck to his guns in his feelings toward Gong Ah Jung. No wavering for that man. Even though I did not really like him that much at first, he really grew on me after I realized his whole demenor was a front b/c of his position in the company. I loved watching him grow into a more expressive person b/c of Gong Ah Jung's influence on him.



Well I have to say that most ppl will love this drama but others may be bored b/c the story is very similar to other dramas. I look at it like re-reading my favorite book only I find something new that happens that I did not catch b-4. So it makes the story interesting and fresh everytime I read it. But I guess in this case watch it.



I recomend that others watch this drama. It is sweet and funny at times.
