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.

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.

Gostaria de ter visto mais da Mok Sol Hee usando suas habilidades para descobrir as mentiras, atendendo os clientes dela etc. Depois que ela se envolve com o Kim Do Ha esse plot dos poderes é meio deixado de lado e passa a ser algo usado só em prol do Kim Do Ha, o que achei uma pena. Poderiam ter explorado isso um pouco mais. Uma ideia legal desperdiçada.
Mas no geral é um drama divertido de acompanhar.

O que eu tenho reparado bastante na maioria dos doramas é que: não importa se tem a base da protagonista, ela sempre acaba sendo uma ferramenta para o protagonista na história. São raros os doramas, principalmente coreanos, que há o protagonismo realmente em cima da história da mulher. Digo isso principalmente porque quando há o plot final e o Lee Kang Min fala para ela ter cuidado, logo pensei: ela vai perder seus poderes. Dito e feito, mesmo que temporariamente. Sei que obviamente era um grande sonho dela em viver normalmente, mas senti que a moral era “a missão dela foi completada” por causa de um homem, sabe?Dito tudo isso, eu não acho que este dorama seja ruim, longe disso, abordou um tema diferente, há vários plots, seja com o Do-Ha e quem de fato matou a ex-namorada dele, quanto a construção do senso de pertencimento da Sol Hee e do Do-Ha com os personagens do bairro onde viviam. A química não é uma das melhores no quesito beijo, porém os dois contracenaram bem juntos e no dorama há várias cenas cômicas que nos fazem rir de maneira sincera.

It was fun and enjoyable!
***DISCLAIMER: These are just my thoughts while watching the show. We don’t have to agree and I’m not here to argue with anyone.***If you’re like me and you loved "Yul" in Alchemy of souls, Keep watching this drama for the best of Hwang Min Hyun. It keeps getting better and better. I genuinely started this not knowing what to expect and I found the first 2-3 episodes slow but as soon as you’re midway through, the twists will keep you hooked to the show.
Kim So Hyun is really a good actress. In this drama, both her and Hwang Min Hyun show a lot of chemistry and cute moments. The storyline is also pretty decent and they complement each other in this drama. Hwang Min Hyun shows a different side of his acting too… each episode I found his character to be really cute, soft and endearing. He’s like a little puppy who is misunderstood and wrongfully accused. It’s sad because you can see the weight for his past affecting him daily and holding him back from pursuing his musical dreams to the fullest.
At first I found Sol Hui’s ex boyfriend (Kang Min) annoying but I’m glad he actually cared about solving the murder mystery and not just persecuting Do Ha because he wanted Sol Hui back. I respected him when he told her he was no longer able to hang around her and be “just friends” and decided to leave her alone for good. I also enjoyed Sol Hui’s parents’ arc and how they found their way back to each other and rekindled their love/romance. It was sweet how he waltzed in and showed the other guy up for not knowing his ex-wife. I’m glad Sol Hui’s mom came to her senses and chose love instead of money and decided to live simply and happily with the dad in the forest. I liked the supporting actors as well – especially the bickering couple who are totally into each other but keep pretending like they’re not. They are so adorable and deserve to be happy. I also would enjoy a bodyguard romance spinoff with Syaon and Chi Hoon I think they’d be cute and the writers could incorporate some drama into a whole new storyline with Do Ha and Sol Hui as guest stars (maybe?)
Honestly, Ji On is different in this role compared to seeing him as selfless, justice serving “Ryung Goo” in Tomorrow. If you enjoyed his character in Tomorrow, let me just say you’re in for a shock if you decide to watch in My Lovely Liar. I thought the resolution / revelation of Eom Ji’s real killer had us going in circles. I can’t believe Deuk Chan did it, as in I did not suspect his character at all and they almost fooled me with his brother Jae Chan taking the fall. I thought the writers could have expounded more on his relationship with Do Ha / Seung Ju – how he fell for him etc. The also could have wrapped up the story by telling us what happened with his wife / the divorce and his relationship with his daughter especially now that he’s in prison. I feel like they kind of lost the plot with his character in that aspect.
It’s by no means the best rom-com I’ve ever watched but thats not the point! It’s honestly so much better than a lot of higher ranked dramas that aired this year. I personally liked the twist of mystery / drama in it. Not to mention the visuals of the leads and chemistry between them is an added bonus. It’s also so hilarious and will keep you laughing/smiling throughout. For me it’s a silly / fun rom-com with mystery, drama and a touch of fantasy to keep viewers engaged & question the true intentions of someone and their heart rather than judging them based on if they’re telling the truth vs a lie.
I gave it a 7/10 because it was light hearted and kept me entertained.
Give it a try!
:)

SIDENOTE:
To the person(s) trying to discredit my review and ratings, have a look on my profile and see my rating guide. I rate every drama the same way. It’s not rocket science and it’s also not my fault you are a bitter lurker who can’t understand people can have different opinions or tastes when it comes to dramas. When I watched this drama last year I was in the mood for it and the plot seemed authentic / refreshing. With more fantasy romance plots the tropes have become overused, recycled and unoriginal.
If you don’t like my ratings or what I have to say then stay off of my reviews or profile and be on your way! I absolutely cannot stand persons who act superior and like your rating isn’t credible just because they disagree with your opinion. It’s clear those individuals have an overinflated ego just because they have probably been reviewing dramas before I was even born or they simply lack basic respect or manners. I advise persons to tread carefully and not try to paint me / my reviews in a bad light just because you’re upset I don’t like a drama you “love”. These types of egregious behaviors are disgusting but far more telling about those persons than me. The drama someone gave a 10/10 and deems a "masterpiece" could very well be a big old 0 to me. We don’t have to agree, that’s life. Re-read the disclaimer and don’t be daft or disrespectful.
Thank you!

1Let down by a random plot
It seems that quite a number of dramas I’m watching at the moment have a lot going for them but are let down or even ruined by inadequate plot structure and this one is no exception.So what went right?
Well the first half of the drama worked well for me. The premise for this show was good and could provide plenty of opportunities for tension. It gave a credible necessity for the superpower which featured throughout the unfolding layers of the plot.
The driving force behind the story was well handled, of being wrongfully accused and the resultant lack of trust destroying a life. It created sympathy for the character, Kim Do Ha, played by Hwang Min Hyun, as he struggled to release himself from the hole he had crawled into. I liked his performance but I can imagine that it was just a bit too underplayed for some. However, I wasn’t very enthused by Kim So Hyun’s performance as Kim Sol Hee. I think an opportunity was missed here (either by the actor or the director, or both) to beef up the character a bit. Given her character’s background, she could well have shown more edge. The blandness didn’t help the chemistry between the leads which was tepid rather than fiery. I think the most notable performances came from Yun Ji On as Deuk Chan and Lee Si Woo as Syaon.
There was enough differentiation in the secondary cast to keep me interested but that leads me into a discussion of how the plot was handled, because as far as minor characters went, the cup runneth over…
Nothing is more unsatisfying than loose plotting that requires an army of insignificant characters whose only purpose is to pass on information, overhear conversations or create contrived meetings. Knowing characters are being introduced for these purposes alone really gets annoying. Their fragmented stories float around the central plot like misshapen asteroids.
It smacks of the writer having a problem with the flow of information because of a lack of forward planning, and rather than thinking creatively, just introducing a convenient character to solve the problem. Sol Hee’s parents for instance had little impact on the plot and could have been easily dispensed with. Then there were journalists, gangsters, shopkeepers, composers, security guards and on and on.
Getting rid of most of them could have helped to change the story from an XXXL baggy sweatshirt and trackies into a designer suit. There was a lack of sophistication and it simply wasn’t sleek enough to create and maintain the tension, slobbing around like it had all the room in the world. The plot was fairly predictable from early on but the playing out of it was padded with over-complicated details (such as the rings) which failed to convince and required uncharacteristic motivations.
The flow wasn’t smooth either, with false resolutions splitting the whole story into segments sandwiched together with filler episodes. It felt like a revolving door that was clumsy and repetitive in nature.
So it’s back, yet again, to my favourite saying: Less is more. The real skill in plotting is to weave something close fitting with a few characters. Keeping things tight so that the viewer is wrapped up and has nowhere to turn to escape the tension. Then occasionally loosening a belt to allow them to breathe, before cinching it up again by a couple of notches. OK, I’ll accept that’s a bit OTT, it wasn’t ever supposed to be Through the Darkness. But the principle still holds and it could have been a much better drama with a little more attention and an editor’s blue pencil.

Could have been as good as bong soon but turned into a disaster!
**Spoiler alert-a messed up love story between a girl (mom sol hui) who can hear lies and a guy (Kim do ha) who is a murder suspect!**
well the starting few episodes were actually good to watch and gave the series a head start. but guess what, unnecessary dragging of plots, too much filler scenes made it into something that made me only fast forward the somehow complete the show.
the episodes with neighbours are still tolerable but the episodes with Sol Hui's monther are absolutely boring and unnecessary and pretty irritating! just couldn't understand why on earth they spent so much time on Sol Hui's parents!
the unraveling of the murder case could have been way better.
the romance! where is the romance!!!! where is the chemistry between the leads! neither emotional, nor sexual tension I could see between the leads. the second lead was better at least there was visible love for fl in his eyes...
i wanted to like both the leads but inspite of being cute they are unlikable. FL' s reactions were pretty much same for all situations where ML was stuck in poker face. i tried, trust me I tried to like them but just couldn't.
I really expected this to be masterpiece like Bong Soon and considering the girl's power it had the potential but bad and dragged up plot, zero chemistry and nonsense murder mistery made it a disaster!!!
oh please... not gonna watch again!!!!

Didn’t know what to expect, easily got hooked.
When I first read about this drama, I wasn’t really sure what to expect of it. I have seen some dramas pull off the thriller and romcom combo before, but also some that haven’t been as successful with it. So, I decided to watch the first two episodes to see if this drama was any good.After completing episode one, I knew I would be waiting for the rest of the episodes to air and watch them as they come out. The first episode was solid and got me hooked onto the show. I was sort of expecting to have to watch two or three episodes for it to get good at first, but that was not the case.
The second episode did not disappoint either. I really am enjoying the plot so far, and can’t wait to watch the rest of the episodes once they air. If you’re debating starting this drama like I was, please watch it. If you like thriller/mystery dramas and romcoms, you’ll like this one.
I’ll come back to keep this updated as the rest of the episodes come out, but I don’t think my feelings will change on this one.

I don't understand why this is so popular
I tried. I really tried. I found the premise intriguing but the show just could not hold my attention. I do not feel any chemistry behind the leads. I find myself drifting off and doing other things while watching. There are endless scenes of people drinking, talking... It's all a blur. I dont think the male lead is bad in acting etc, I have seen worse, but he seems so bland and expressionless 🤷♀️At first, I thought it was me. I have watched really intense wuxia cdramas before this and I thought I needed something more intense. Then I realised that it is nowhere near the standards of my favourite like Another Oh Hae Young.
Pretty puzzled why everyone loved this, because there's very little that makes this drama stand out 🤷♀️

Useless lies after useless lies - a fresh premise with a weak wrap up
Sol Hee uses her ability as a lie detector for the wealthy. However, being able to hear even the smallest lie caused a lot of trust issues within her relationships, so she doesn't have any interest in dating until a mysterious famous songwriter, Do Ha, moves in next door. She's impressed because he never lies, but little does she know about his dark secret. *Trigger warning; The plot has a darker undertone as it deals with toxic relationships, self-harm, and suicide.Off to a strong start with instantly mystery with a sprinkling of supernatural. The premise is fresh & the leads are fun! The first 4 episodes are 100% binge-worthy! The writers are dropping breadcrumbs for multiple different storylines and I enjoyed. Sadly it's quickly become a drag with no suspense, only suspicion here and there. The reveal just happened like that... Unbelievable, underwhelming and anticlimactic. Useless lies.. -.- The Korean original title described it best.
The leads acting are just fine but I’m not blown away. The other character with whom I am emotionally invested is only the ex, because he looked ambiguous, but his story was just kind of brush briefly. The show also has funny moments, some are a bit over the top.
My persistently recurring issue; so many toxic female characters; Not only hysterical mothers, but I also think our female lead is inconsiderate, i.e. Why she's so bothered with his mask? “Have you not heard of COVID?". There are many reasons that he could wear a mask, why make it a big deal? I'm also not impressed by how they handle the male lead's backstory… I was waiting for a moment when they flesh-out these issues, but seems that the message is not fully concluded.

THIS DRAMA's COLOUR IS GREEN. GREEN FLAGS EVERYWHERE
This was such a breath of fresh air. So different from other kdramas and I have watched 150 of them. Intelligent and logical FL . ML was like a shy puppy . Both of them green flags. This drama has a love triangle but it so mature. THE BEST SECOND LEAD I REPEAT BEST SECOND LEAD in any k drama ever. Respects her boundaries, respects her bf , not a typical kdrama triangle plot. Also if you go to the drama without knowing any spoilers, you are in for a surprise. Like the plot will shock you a bit, that bein said it's a murder mystery too but don't go for just the mystery. It was so refreshing to watch , If you are in a mood for a happy ending romance kdrama, with no disgusting drama and green flags give it a chanceEsta resenha foi útil para você?
