Useless Lies (2023)

Masterpiece at first and what the hell happened ?

Firstly to be fair the concept is good

First&second episodes where phenomenal and started with nostalgic feeling of 2016 era, this feeling continues till episode 6.

after the sixth episode… omg they literally dragging the ML story and focusing on his storyline !! while forgetting the FL ability!! they could make good stories by using her ability …

but, I love both actors and their chemistry is topnotch that why I will continue this kdrama and pray to NOT waste FL ability anymore and STOP dragging the CASE bcz this a rom-com not crime drama writers so PLEASE stop this nonsense.

Cute and interesting.

Been a fan of Kim So Hyun for long and I know her capabilities as an actress, my first thought is that I'll watch the drama because of KSH but after watching the first five episode I've come to realize that the drama itself is quite interesting to the fact that I've been frustrated waiting for the last 2 episode's release.
There are some storyline flaws but its not that noticeable, the characters acting were quite good though i felt sometimes that theres something lacking(justmy opinion).
the soundtrack is quite good and the story progression is also commendable for it will make you feel a bit uninterested at first until you find yourself hooked with it.
Can't wait for the next episode.

Lovely - if I say so it is!

It was one of the best shows currently airing and a breath of fresh air. The plot of pretty simple really - FL can hear lies in real time and ML is overly cautious of people.

I enjoyed figuring out the mystery behind the ML and the whole what-happened or who-dun-it scenario. Though I figured it out relatively quick, it didn't seem obvious to others so it's a decent mystery.

Watched this for Hyung Min Hyun. His role is similar to that of Alchemy Of Souls where he is a quiet and decent guy who falls in love. We get some nice action sequence initially as well and I hope he does such roles in the future too. I also enjoyed his cute comedy.

Kim So Hyun - I loved her line - if I say so it is. I started using it in real life for fun. I liked her strong yet soft personality. She has empathy for others. The leads had good chemistry.

I love mix genres that mix romance with mystery and if you're like me you might like this as well.

The OST is nice and there are lots of different songs included since it covers a music company and Min Hyun plays a songwriter.

Exciting and sweet

This drama is so exciting, I can't stand it anymore, always these breaks in between, 5 days off, you should really binge watch it. I'm so curious......

I find so many suspicious there (the mother, she never shows, that she loves her son and does everything for her politician career / the CEO and his brother / the brother of
the ex-girlfriend who is aggressive and violent)

But I really like how great the FL + ML are. The act with each other so honestly. This is so different from all these other K-Dramas where one misunderstanding follows the next.

I loved ‘My Lovely Liar’.

Hwang Min-hyun (Minhyun) singer/songwriter of the K-pop group NU’EST and actor from the big hit Korean Drama ‘Alchemy of Souls’ (which followed Live On) is putting out only his third drama. The early buzz is that this drama will make him a household name. It is fortunate that he gets the main lead with the little star maker, Kim So Hyun (Love Alarm). She is a former Korean child star, who can do little wrong in picking good Korean dramas and making her costars shine. ‘My Lovey Liar’ got off to a slow start, because this star power rich Korean drama needs a lot of set-up time. However, the chemistry between the two leads took off all of a sudden by the end of episode 2, heating up the place. I loved My Lovely Liar and I viewed this drama real-time.

The drama is quaint and engaging. It is about a young lady who can hear lies and she has turned this into a profitable business. Her love interest is a music genius with a mysterious and dark past. There are a few surprises in the story, which takes the action in surprising directions. Give this one a try.

My Lovely Liar

Sol Hee was the female lead who heard lies and came across Do Ha who does not lie. Sol Hee never became whiny or annoying. I loved her interactions with all the cast. Her friendship with the tarot reader & her bodyguard was so sweet & funny. I even loved when she had scenes with the second male lead who was such a cutie. I will admit they would have been great together, but I was firmly on the male lead side. I love how the SL never became hateful or obsessive instead he applied the concept of "if you love her, let her go" to his situation. I really hope I see more of the actor. As for Do Ha, I felt so sorry that he was a victim of so many people being so obsessed with him... all he did was be kind, caring & handsome while minding his business.

Of course, I picked this drama up for Minhyun because that is my WannaOne/NU'EST guy & I definitely inhaled My Lovely Liar. It was super easy to binge. The unique plot caught my attention right from the beginning. So, add the unexpectedly amazing chemistry of the leads, humor, great supporting cast friends, and OST with the twists and it is a great overall drama. Also, I did not feel as though I was left hanging by the ending because the ending was so complete and satisfactory!

Minhyun reminds me so much of Eunwoo with his looks. He gave me my much-needed Eunwoo fix, but he & Kim So Hyun were so great together.

Definitely recommend 8.5/10

The same recipe repeated all over again this time with a human lie detector.

Ok so this is my first time writing a review even though I have watched at least 80+ kdramas. But because I have so much experience in watching I thought I should write this review.
So let's start.
1.Acting- I have seen the fl leads work before but at that time she was a teenager so I can't say if she has improved or not but this role was good I liked that she wasn't all cutesy not that I have a problem with those characters but it was fresh seeing a more mature lead . The ml I have never seen him act and it's safe to say I don't want to again.
2. Story- it's just same like nothing new and oh god that plot twist I saw it coming from miles ahead. It's just they added something new with someone who could detect lies.
3.Characters- Are awful like god those mothers and no that's not how mothers are it's just that most kdrama now gives you mommy issues. And these characters don't know what consent is like the fl takes the mask off the ml. The salad cafe lady just barges into the shop even though it's prohibited and don't even get me started on the ex gf like she was fucking obsessed and I was glad that was the reason ml decided to break up and what's wrong with that brother when your sister needed support you tell her to just make a guy her dream and then she becomes this obsessed dies and then you go out to hunt a suspect. GREAT.
4. Music- I honestly got so bored with the story that I mostly skipped it.
5. Chemistry- wasn't Chemistrying like I couldn't feel anything out of them no romance nothing even there kisses I skipped.
6. Overall- don't waste your time it's not enough romance not enough mystery and they literally just always have to make bi/gay characters the villian if you want to watch something a little bit better but the same formula go watch crash course in romance.
Atleast they have better chemistry.
Or give it a try if you like to waste your time just because the title sounded good.

This drama is a cute drama for me overall. At first it has the romantic comedy genre, but with the hint of suspense thriller into it. I like thriller dramas and I like romantic comedy as well but I think this drama is a decent one. I am not into it as much as I would want, maybe because I watched this one ongoing with other big dramas like Moving that the impact of this drama seems lesser.

The actors in the drama are also familiar faces. I have seen them in other dramas, and they are good here, not the best acting but I like it. It's a fine drama with somehow a cliche ending. I would still recommend this one.

Worth a watch.

Overall enjoyable. Cute rom-com with bit of humour, some mystery and some fantasy. A must watch. One of the very few dramas I watched this year. There are times, I felt bored too. But not a big problem.
Definitely a bang comeback of KimSoHyun. She is getting more and more adorable. Cutie bunny?❤️.
Although i have never thought this before, but in this drama HwangMinHyun resembled more like ChaEunWoo. Particularly with the mask on.
Perfect couple. Both are unrealistically beautiful. ??

SeoJiHoon. He and kimSoHyun looked good together. I want them as the leads in anther drama. Sorry LeeKangMin. In this drama, it's solhee and doha for me

But I think It could have been better if its 10 or 12 episodes. 16 episodes, felt draggy. I lost interest in later episodes and resumed only after all the episodes aired. So that I could skip some scenes finish it soon.

Like many, I am also surprised.
Expected JoDeukChan to be the culprit from the very start. But this twist is more shocking.
I wanted to hate him. But how could I hate him now.? He was in love.
he didn't plan to kill her from the start. I don't think he used him to get rich by keeping seungJu beside him, but it's the only way, Doha would stay by his side.

JoDeukChan tried to make seungJu and EomJi to breakup by creating misunderstandings.? Well there was any scenes to claim that it was true.
So many repetitive scenes of them drinking as a group only.
But i can't believe ChoiEomJi was toxic until the very end. Her brother fueled her obsession more and more. Although I felt bad for her
family background, that doesn't make her toxic behaviour justifiable. In the end, her fate, she brought it upon herself. JoDeukChan just went there to check up on seungJu. But she ridiculed his feelings for seungJu and Enjoyed it which actually triggered him.
But that also doesn't justify DeukChan too. He Should have surrendered regardless of anything. But He decided to hide it as if He wanted to be by his side by any means..! ? And that's why he hid the murder. I am sure he was also tormented as much as SeungJu. SeungJu clearly did not kill her and felt guilty thinking she killed herself because of him.
Totally different with deukchan. With or without intention, he killed her. And keeping the evidence of murdering someone beside you all the time. Feels more terrifying. ? Was there any single moment he felt happiness. Unrequited love, failed marriage, spoilt family member, a successful carrier which he is not sure of when it's all gonna end.
I feel very sad for JoDeukChan. Having Love for someone when it will be unrequited forever. ? He can't even confess his love to the person he likes in the first place. ?? Like, confess and if rejected, get over with it! ☹️
Syaon. Although i disliked her at first. But came to like her a but in last couple episodes.
Jo Jaechan is just spoilt brat.
I really hate SolHee's mother and SeungJu's mother. Both are toxic parents.! ??
And I absolutely hate that they made solHee's mother look innocent. She was going around Swindling people. She even did it to her daughter all the time. ??
I am really happy that finally doha's mother is ruined. She is too cunning and selfish.?

Solhee' father. It would have been better, if there is not a character of him in the first place. Like he died early or found another woman. Him ending up with MokSollHee' mother felt rubbish. ? The actor who played the father, I recently watched him in Miraculous Brothers and thought he got another good role again. But he should have rejected this one.
I thought 3 men liked the same girl at first and got entangled somehow. ?

Fluffy romance but thriller part was quite disappointing

The drama is a decent watch if you like fluffy romance. The ML and FL are cute and very complementary in their personalities. They meet again and start to learn about each other, trust each other and the dating stage drags to arrive but there is obviously something between them. SML is not too clingy, and he has his priorities. SFL is childish so no worries from this side. There are also 3 secondary romances that were not so interesting for me, but I believe that some others will enjoy them.

The thriller part is interesting and intriguing at first. Because there are little infos and the mystery has huge consequences on the ML. But when the truth starts to unveil, the victim gained little sympathy but more pity from me. The final twist is surprising because it follows an unexpected and unusual path for kdramas but it also looks cheap and lazy writing. To put all this on one sided feelings and accidents…

The drama suffered from the characterization of the ML. He was way to nice always saying sorry and full of good intentions… to the point he looked bland to me. He also had little good impact on the others and he barely contributed to the solving of the mystery. I loved the FL. She brought light and fun to the drama with a great personality dealing with ML, SML, clients, her parents, employees, rival… SML Is my fav ML. I liked how he dealt with his personal issue and how he did his job despite the uneasy situation. The culprit was also a complex and interesting character with good intentions and very bad actions.

Overall, it was ok but wish the ML was stronger or maybe it was the lead male actor. His acting was below par compared to the other lead actors and especially the SM lead actor. It showed. But I wish him the best like to the others. 7.5/10

This Drama: Good or Bad? All Based On Your Preference/Experience When Watching

I would say 80% of this drama revolves around ML's (Do Ha's) life, 15% is about our FL's (Sol Hee's) and the 5% is for other nonsense (examples: bad mom scenes, psycho bro scenes). I didn't have a problem with the story plot idea, it's more of how it was presented that caused issues for me when watching. Certain weeks, I'm okay with the flow of the episodes while there other weeks where I was like, "when will this plot progress or why did I felt like nothing significant happened?". I'll be honest here, our leads supporting each other got me through this drama because there are just way too many annoying characters in this drama. I can handle maybe 1 or 2 annoying characters but this one had a ridiculous amount.

Story wise, it would've been 2 stars for me, but I bumped it up to 3 out of 5 stars because of a great last week of episodes and everything was wrap up pretty well. Good plot ideas, but they just stalled it for too long on the mystery part. First 12 episodes were mostly ex-girlfriend's psycho brother searching for and wanting to kill Do Ha. Where was the search for the real killer during those episodes? It didn't even happen until psycho brother finally went to jail. I hated this writing because they just wasted a potential of this character. The brother could've been searching for clues on the truth instead of just plotting to get revenge on someone who was innocent. Heck, even have him believe Do Ha didn't murder his sister and they team up together to search for the truth with the help of Kang Min & Sol Hee. We finally get some progress for a week, followed by going back to Sol Hee's story. This just felt like a wasted potential for me, despite having a great ending.

Speaking of Sol Hee, I wished the writers would've made her powers more useful for the mystery of this drama. Instead, we just get random scenes of her using her powers for work related reasons. I mean this is okay because she does slowly learn about her usage of her powers, but I felt like this was a waste and it just felt out of place.

The only saving grace about this was that our leads were supportive of each other. Once they got together, they stuck through it together, helping each other out. I'm glad there were numerous cute scenes together for our leads because everything else was a mess.

Acting/Cast wise, I can see where some people have a problem with Min Hyun's acting. There are certain scenes where I felt like he could've been more expressive, but that doesn't mean he's a bad actor. He does have his strengths in other parts of his acting. Luckily for me, I'm not really critical on acting, just as long as they don't say their lines in monotone blank less expression. For this category though, I mostly rate it based on the characters in this drama and like I said, too many frustrating/annoying side characters. I'm glad their screen time were limited but boy when they showed up, I just get frustrated with them.

Music wise, I like it but for some reason didn't remember it being played as much. In fact because of this, I don't even remember much of the osts.

If I wanted to rewatch this again, it'll definitely be from when our leads get together and then just the good and cute moments. Otherwise, just a 1 time watch for me.

This is one of the dramas where you don't want to ask "how was this drama?". There are just so many opinions. I say just give it a try and see what you think. I gave you my perspective, but hey you might like it or you may not.

Era para ser mas não foi

Esse drama começou tão bem, logo me interessei por ele, com uma premissa nova e refrescante pensei que poderia gostar; e sim gostei muito dos 7 primeiros episódios, depois foi só ladeira a baixo, eu relamente queria que o drama focasse apaenas nas histórias de mentiras que a protagonista tinha que descobrir e não que focasse em romance, pois foi um tiro no pé essa aposta.

O romance foi terrível, os protagosnistas não tinham nenhum tipo de quimica, o protagonista masculino era totalmente inexpressivo, e protagonista também não ficava atrás, como um amigo daqui disse dois pedaços de madeira tem mais quimica que esses dois . Eu tinha vontade de adiantar toda vez que tinha cena romantica em cena .

A atuação estava péssima em relacão aos protagonistas principalmente o masculino , o homem parece uma pedra de tão inexpresivo .

Devo deixar claro meu desgosto pela mãe da protagonista feminina , Deus que mulher despresível, não me venha dizer que ela era assim por determinados motivos que para mim não cola, para mim deviria ser presa ou ter um final bem solitário para pensar nas merdas que fazia. Meus olhos doiam quando ela estava em cena.

Tinha uma ótima premissa mais a execução foi péssima. Mas não é ruim ao seu todo, foi bom para passar o tempo e como eu disse o inicio foi realmente bom.
