Clare Henney: Lie To Me

12:00 PM | | Posted by Clare Henney

I finally got to finish the Korean drama Lie to Me starring my favorite, Yoon Eun Hye. The story of the drama is about two people who lied about being married because it had benefits for them both and they end up falling in love with each other. The story is simple and when I think about it, a white lie that gets blown out of proportion can happen. I’m just not sure if a rich and popular bachelor like that would ever go with the scheme the way the guy in the story did.

As usual, Yoon Eun Hye is very lovable in this show and she has her cute and funny moments that people love watching her in. As for the leading man, Kang Ji Hwan, he does come off as handsome and conflicted as his character should be but I think he fails when it comes to having comedic moments. I think he tries too hard to be funny and that’s why he failed to be funny.

I wasn’t too happy with the way that the story ended. I felt like they were forced to end the story because it was going on too long already. That whole finding herself part near the end in Jeju Island felt dragging and kind of brought down the story a bit. I wish they could have made a more exciting, less cheesy ending. But that’s the thing with rom-coms lately: they find it hard to come up with a winning ending.

I hope that Yoon Eun Hye can come up with a new drama again soon. I’d love to see her do another rom-com…or maybe a full-on drama. It would be interesting to see her do that.
