O Mentiroso e Seu Amor (2017)

Drama bom, porém com pouco sal.

The Liar and His Lover foi um dorama bem monótono, digamos assim. De pontos fortes, temos a trilha sonora claro. O drama tem como tema principal música, então obviamente a trilha sonora seria muito boa. Outro ponto que temos que concordar que foi bom, foi o "limpa vistas". Ô pessoal bonito esse viu! Os produtores pegaram três obras primas e fizeram eles correrem atrás da protagonista só pra gente sofrer e ainda por cima, ver os bunitões sofrerem de coração partido.

Do elenco, eu só conhecia a desaguada da Hong Seo Young, desculpa amiga, nada contra você como atriz, mas seus dois personagens que assisti, não me descem... e o Song Kang, lindo e maravilhoso. Gostei do elenco, porém, não me aproximei dos personagens tanto assim.

A atuação também não é: Óó que atuação. As cenas entre o casal foram lindas à principio, mas depois foram ficando escassas. Também senti exagero nas cenas melodramáticas e aquele ponto né: o casal secundário foi mais emocionante que o principal. Alguns dos personagens secundários mereciam mais tela, e até os principais não foram tão explorados. Enfim, poderia ter sido melhor, mas não foi ruim. É como disse, foi bom, porém faltou umas pitadas de sal a mais.

Aqui estou eu fazendo resenha de uma drama q nem sequer terminei. Mas, dropar dramas eh algo que raramente faço mesmo que não esteja gostando, por isso resolvi resenhar um pouco sobre os motivos que me fizeram abandonar O Mentiroso e Seu Amor.
Logo no primeiro episódio achei a história chata e sem muito potencial, e eu estava completamente certa.

Antes de começar a crítica de fato, eu gostaria de falar sobre o nome do dorama (O Mentiroso e Seu Amor) que dá a entender que as supostas mentiras do protagonista influenciaria todo o andamento da história, o que nem de longe acontece. Ok que ele inicialmente esconde a verdadeira identidade mas isso nao faz diferença quase nenhuma e depois que ela descobre quem ele realmente eh o título perde completamente sentido. As pequenas mentiras que são contadas não tem peso algum no - lento - desenvolvimento da história.

O enredo se desenvolve e evolui muito - muito - lentamente, os conflitos que acontecem nem merecem serem chamados de tal de tão insignificantes que são, todas as questões que surgem ou são resolvidas em 10 minutos ou se arrastam inutilmente por 2/3 episódios. Não tem nenhum grande acontecimento que faça uma real diferença no andamento das coisas, nada que movimente mais intensamente a estória. Ainda por cima 90% do enredo são de cenas com pouca ou nenhuma importância.

Honestamente, não consegui nem me envolver com os protagonistas, são personagens chatos e sem grande complexidade. Se os personagens em suas individualidades já não são lá grande coisa quando estão em casal fica ainda pior. Sem química e forçado são o melhores adjetivos pra defini-los.

Entretanto, tiveram pontos positivos que me fizeram assistir até o episódio 10: os personagens secundários. Achei interessante a ideia do grupo ficcional Crude Play, especialmente, o Chan Yeong bem como a YuNa, foi por eles que eu tentei dar uma chance pra novela. Mas mesmo esses personagens não foram capazes de me fazer terminar de assistir.

OBS.: como eu disse, nao chegei a terminar o dorama entao talvez minha resenha esteja incompleta em relaçao as demais, essa foi so minha opiniao mesmo.

Story
The story was slow paced & really boring. It did progress, but it progressed quite slowly which was a drop for me. There wasn't even much of a story. I usually do love music genre dramas but this one didn't intrigue or interest me in any way which was disappointing. I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't find myself to sadly.

Acting/Cast
As many know, Joy is from Red Velvet and this was her first drama. I didn't really have any high expectations because I do know some Kpop idols aren't really experienced in acting. Joy, however, was quite decent in her role. I don't get the hate that was being thrown at her for her "rubbish" acting - It wasn't that bad. Lee Hyun Woo was also adorable in his role. The problem was the chemistry between both of them. I didn't find the bond exciting or anything, it was merely boring and unrealistic.

Music
The OSTs for this drama are really sweet to listen to. I just finished the drama & I will definitely download them. I guess for me, this was the only good thing about the drama itself.

Rewatch Value
I hardly rewatch dramas unless they were exceptionally excellent. So in this case, I definitely won't.

Overall
If you are struggling whether to watch this drama or not, I'll say give 1 or 2 episodes a try. If you don't like it, I suggest dropping it because it doesn't get better. But if you do like it, keep going! Don't let my review discourage some of you because everyone has different tastes :) Hope my quick review helped! x

Go in with low expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised. This drama is a relatively light watch that is easy on the eyes and ears.

As someone who hasn’t read the source material I can’t really comment on how this drama lines up. It did well to get so far with a limited amount of plot. At times the writing feels a little awkward but not enough to stop watching.

I liked that compared to the Japanese movie the main couple were closer in age and by the end So Rim was an adult.

The cast were very attractive and did surprisingly well with the script they were given.
I didn’t feel that there was much chemistry between the two leads, fortunately the friendships within the bands and the secondary couple make up for this.

The most enjoyable part of this drama is the music and the relationships between the characters. I found the songs would get stuck in my head for a few days after watching.

All in all a reasonably enjoyable show to watch with catchy tunes.

To be honest, I see a lot of people that are not pleased with this drama, but I totally loved it!
It wasn't anything WOW and it wasn't anything Ew, it was a really good drama! just that!

The story for me was amazing^^. I love these kind of plots that have to do with Music.

The acting was pretty good, nothing is wrong with it, just some times maybe, they were overreacting with their facial expressions I think. but it wasn't bad. it wasn't done a lot. very few times.

The soundtracks were supreme! i loved every single OST , especially "I am OK" which was kinda the "main" ost from what I understood!


The rewatch value goes to Zero, cause I only find dramas rewatchable when they got some kind of action inside, Well this drama of course doesn't have action xD. so I find it pointless to rewatch it.

Maybe some of you may thing that my score is "TOO GOOD" but, I don't find anything weird with the drama. That's why, and its all personal preferences of course so #peace!

Reasons i watched this? Hyped with the Gfriend Cover at the beginning xD.

I loved it!

I do see a lot of bad reviews but I also see good ones. Just like some others said I would say it’s a feel good drama! I absolutely love music and the kpop world so I love these kind of stories! It’s so fun to see the other sides of things. Th relationships between the friends were great and so fun to watch. It was just really cute and I loved the story. I did not watch the original movie so I can’t compare. I would rewatch it again when I’m just looking for something to see and I don’t want to look for something new. I didn’t find anything wrong with it! I also loved the music as well!

The story is a checklist that contains all the usual teen drama tropes. It does not excel or improve on any of the boxes but man did they go out of their way to fill them.

The cast wasn't terrible but had a horrible case of miscasting. The male lead was more suitable for the cheerful friend rather than the brooding male lead. The female lead did not do terrible but will be remembered as Joy from Red Velvet rather than an actress judging from this performance.

For a music drama none of the songs featured made me open a new tab to look for them.

How I made it through the first time amazes and depresses me at the same time. No rewatch value.

The Japanese movie adaptation is light-years above this drama... and it's not that great.

I think if you go into this thinking its going to be just like the source material you will be disappointed -- as it appears from the previous reviews left here.

As a stand alone however, I thought this was a great feel-good drama, that gave the right balance between romances and character developments. There was a lot of main characters who each had their own stories to complete so although it may have felt like it was moving slow for the progression of the So Rim and Han Gyeol lovestory, I think it did well in demonstrating that a story about two people isn't just about themselves but all the people around them and their own lives. For 16 episodes, TLAHL nailed it.

The best thing about this drama is the chemistry between all the male leads -- their relationship was so beautiful to watch and completely natural. Not just the Crude Play boys but also between So Rim's childhood friends -- bromance was everywhere and it was lovely to watch!

The music was sweet and addictive although I wish they had more than just the 2/3 songs, especially towards the end/final episode I hoped we'd get to hear Chan Young's new song as a big finale. Regardless it was really catchy and used well throughout.

If you're looking for a light, sweet and 'leaves-you-happy' drama this is definitely worth the watch! Don't expect any deep plot twists and dark underlying tragedies but a more slice of life musical with a great cast.

This was a feel good drama for me. Most reviews say kind of bad things about it, but I think it was wonderful. It was even paced, not too fast or too slow, and the story line was good. It may not have been deep and dramatic, but it had the right amount of emotions and conflict in the right places. It's a slice of life drama - as I would have expected since I saw the Japanese movie years ago.

The romance in this was real. Others may say the couple didn't have chemistry but I think that's missing sight of what a true relationship is about. Chemistry is one part and that fizzles eventually. This couple had substance and caring between them, were willing to understand, to stick together, to grow together. This is a depiction of a real life couple interaction. They were eager to hold hands, to kiss, to be together and that was one thing I absolute loved about it. There was none of that 'hesitant to touch each other to stand too close' that often happens in kdrama. This was a real couple and the story showed it very well. No separation or dramatic fights here, just caring and understanding for the other person's feelings and perspective. How many kdramas give us that?

The above alone is why this deserved the 8 star rating.

Then there is all the relationships between the characters, all the curves and jagged edges that makes no one a villian and no one perfectly good either. They all had their little problems projected onto one another and they worked through it. This is a reflection of real life. I liked it.

Their acting was very good. They are largely new to this and no one is perfect from the get-go. If you expect perfection from new artists without giving them a chance to gain experience... well that's just unreasonable. They performed admirably for being a relatively new set of casting. I liked all of their acting a lot. Especially the two leads and the male lead's apa.

The music... I hope it wasn't the focus of the show and that the romance / friendship was. The music could have been better. It;s quite forgettable, not as passionate as I thought a top composer would produce - except that first song.

I liked this a lot.
