Editorial Reviews

How cute! I love the leads and their chemistry is sizzling. - Dramabeans

A little lie leads to a whole lot of trouble in the Korean TV drama series LIE TO ME. Korea's favorite romcom heroine Yoon Eun-Hye (Palace) turns on her charm in this sizzling romance of errors with Kang Ji Hwan (90 Days of Love, Be Strong Geum-soon).

Civil servant Gong Ah-jung (Yoon Eun-Hye) is bright, sassy, and very single a point that gets rubbed in her face by a frenemy who is determined to put her down. To save her pride, Ah-jung blurts out that she too is happily married! It's just a harmless lie until the rumor mill starts cranking and links Ah-jung with hot-tempered hotel CEO Hyun Gi-joon (Kang Ji-Hwan), whom she met under fabulously embarrassing circumstances.

English subtitles created by YA Entertainment.

Bonus Features: Interviews (18 min, English Subtitles), City Hunter Preview (30 min, English Subtitles)

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute but nothing much else January 23, 2012

By Anne-Marie Gilliland VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

The story starts with Ah-jung running into an old frenemy, So-ran. So-ran married the man that Ah-jung considers her first love. So-ran did so knowingly and upon seeing Ah-jung again, after three years, rubs it in her face. Ah-jung to save face pretends she is married. It snowballs however because she is later seen with Ki-joon and the insane gossip mill in this show marries her to him.

Eventually the pair draw up a contract to maintain the appearance of a marriage for a month.

Ki-joon has no idea how attracted to Ah-jung he is, it is pretty cute to watch. He has a great support staff too.(Two totally under-developed characters in this drama, me thinks, his secretary and a female bestfriend/ CEO of his company.)

Hijinks ensue.

This drama has a few things going for it.

Yoon Eun Hye is always so much fun to watch. It was nice to see her in a role as a mature woman and not the girl of Palace or the gender-bender in The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince. She reminds me of Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete Series. Both women are so great at pulling the audience into feeling what their characters are feeling. Plus there is some wonderful physical acting going on in this show (though Yoon's has been toned down a bit compared to some of her other antics).

This is my first time seeing Kang Ji-hwan in anything, however, I'm hoping it isn't the last. I really enjoyed him. His character was all over the place, as the stuff upper lip businessman and the smitten lover....

The chemistry between these two leads was amazing and the story pretty much road on the coattails of that chemistry. (which I am mostly okay with). There were times when smoke might have been coming out of my screen. This drama is worth watching for the awesome 'cola-kiss,' if nothing else. It is a moment that goes from totally cute and funny to serious and steamy, not to mention the camera work and direction in that scene are great.

The drama also has some great secondary characters. It has one of the best father-daughter relationships I've seen in a K-drama. The younger brother, Sang-hee, is pretty fun to watch in his earlier scenes and then gets sort of dragged down into melo-drama land, but it was nice to see him growing up a bit.

Unfortunately the story just sort of looses itself towards the end and characters have all sorts of reversals just to inject some "Dramatic tension" into the whole thing. Really, if they had just had cute frolicky dates I would have been a happy viewer. Instead the writers watered down the quality of the whole show with how they handled how to wrap things up. The tried and true: "I love you but I can't marry you...yet. I need to go far away and think and be tortured for a few episodes."

I didn't hate it, and parts of it are really worth rewatching, the middle few episodes where they are happily dating after the lie is exposed and before DRAMA happens. It could have been leaps and bounds better, considering how enjoyable seeing these two leads were I can't imagine how addicting the show could have been if it had been better written and plotted. (I am thinking something along the lines of The Greatest Love. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars This series was great... and i'm not even a fan of drama. January 14, 2012

By Heckler!

Format:DVD

I've never watched a Korean drama before, but for some reason this one caught my attention. It all started when i got an e-mail from another site and decided to check it out. Boy I'm glad i did! The entire series i kept rooting for Gong Ah Jung to win. It was very much like Snow White. A girl who is treated bad by her so called friends (well, one of them at least) and has to go through much adversity throughout life; especially her love life. Tragic to say the least. I won't spoil it for anybody, but this series has everything! Laughter, love, sorrow, betrayal and most importantly, characters you can really identify with! I found myself staying up well past my bedtime watching the episodes. Man i was hooked!! EPIC MAN!! Please do yourself a favor and check this series out. I guarantee you won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable March 27, 2012

By Laurie E. Giaccone

Format:DVD

This was such an adorable series. As with most KDramas, the storyline frayed a bit towards the end.

These two lead characters create an amazing chemistry and comedic balance that really just propels this series past ordinary. It was so enjoyable to watch how these two lives slowly changed due to one little slip up.

As far as favorites, for KDramas, this would be in my top 10 or so. For those of you who like romantic comedy, I would recommend this one and several others. Yoon Eun Hye is fantastic also in Palace and First Shop of Coffee Prince. (Save First Shop for the last, because it's her best)

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Watch Lie To Me Over And Over Again! June 3, 2012

By Kathryn S. Leon

Format:DVD

If you love romance, if you love comedy, if you are intrigued by the intricacies that a growing love can present, then you will love this Korean drama. Two characters that were never meant to be together turn into two characters that have to be together! Very addictive. What more can I say? You will love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful May 6, 2012

By Uenna

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

My daughter introduced me to this series, I was initially sceptical but went on to enjoy this throughly. What was most striking was the unusual story line, which was as funny as it was comical. The two lead characters were very well matched and both gave a delightful performance, the supporting cast did not dissappoint. The important life lesson here being -"what a tangle web we weave when first we choose to deceive"- this was very aptly depicted in Lie to me. To untangle the web of lies required humility and in this case a healthy dose of love and affection. It helped that in the course of the pretence and lies, cupid's arrow had made its mark on the two and this made for a very entertaining series. If you love Korean dramas, this is one for the keeper shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lie to Me - KDrama DVD April 30, 2012

By liliana

Format:DVD

To be perfectly honest, the first time I started watching this Kdrama, I didn't get beyond the bee scene...After watching Yoon Eun Hye in Goong and Coffee Prince, I decided to try it again. Glad I did. It's become one of my favorite lite entertainment dvds. There is a lot of chemistry between Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan, and the soundtrack has a couple of great tunes on it. Of course the Cola kiss scene is great, in fact this kdrama really bends the staid boundaries on kissing on screen. Its a nice change, without it getting overdone. The supporting cast was great, and the story silly but showed how lies, jealousy, avarice, and greed all lead to a slippery slope if you aren't careful. I think it was nicely done for the genre and plan to watch it again soon.
