Had some potentials...
The amount of inconsistencies and plot holes was unbelievably grand. Rendering it exceedingly challenging and distracting to keep watching. Any semblance of suspense that the drama attempted to create was overshadowed by how easily predictable it was. However, Lee Yoo Ri pulling through as usual. Overall, it still passes for a sleepy watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Overall a good decent drama
This drama is kinda ur classic good characters who meet in the most unrealistic but fateful way and the evil characters who will stop at nothing to harm the main leads . It was a good drama tho dont get me wrong, most of us know by what i mean when i say unrealistic 😠thats what kdramas are but thats also what makes them fun. It was heartwarming to see a mothers love and also a fathers love i really liked how their romance built up and how they fought together. The downfall of the villain was nice to see AHAHA THE PLOT TWIST WAS INTERESTING I HAD MY SUSPICIONS ABOUT IT, it wasnt totally predictable but uk watching enough kdramas can start to make u foresee plottwists half way through looool.Was this review helpful to you?
A drama not to miss!
The drama is definitely underrated given the amazing story and powerful acting.I was looking for dramas to watch when I got absolutely interested after reading the plot summary of the drama. I had high expectations and it definitely exceeded them.
The FL is a strong woman who can do everything to be with her child and protect her. Bearing her own emotional scars she is willing to overcome all difficulties to reunite with he daughter. Loved the mother-daughter story. Absolutely loving and the highlight of the drama. The relationship had its cute and sweet moments along with some bitter revelations.
The romance between the leads was good. I feel it was just right to fit in the story.
Not just the maternal love but we can also enjoy the father-daughter love in the drama.
The drama was full of suspense. The pace of the story was just right. It had plenty of moments that would make you emotional (some happy some sad).
The characters were well written and the actors did an amazing job portraying all emotions. I absolutely loved the acting Lee Yoo Ree. You can feel her pain, anger, and joy. Go Na Hee also did an amazing job.
Definitely worth the watch and rewatch as well!
A fantastic drama and one of my favorites!!!

must watch
Enjoyed watching this drama since the first episode, never got boring to me with no filler episodes. The actors all did an amazing job I didn't cringe once, what sometimes happens to me with some kdramas. They all conveys the emotions really well. Really good story line full of suspense and unpredictable plot twists. Good from start to finish. I do wish we could've. had at least one full episode of the family just living happily after everything got revealed, the last 30minutes felt a little bit rushed.Was this review helpful to you?
Hidden gem!
I finished watching this piece months ago, but just got a time to write a review today.Lie After Lie is a hidden gem. If you're a drama lover and long for a drama speaking about family and love with some touch of action and thriller, this one is for you!
What I love the most about Lie After Lie is the message this drama tries to deliver that in the end, justice will be revealed.
All actors and actresses involved are superb! I still remember clearly it caused me pain to wait a week long for a new episode. I was that crazy about Lie After Lie! Seriously, this one is a must-watch!

The Title Of This Drama Says It All (SHORT REVIEW, SPOILERS)
Here, we have a different kind of family secret drama.The secrets are dark, really darker than usual, in my opinion.
This show was nearly perfect, especially the performances. I was in awe of the child actress’ acting skills.
But one thing irritated me, and it’s the things Ji Eun Su resorted to do to get close to her daughter, rather than telling the truth. She literally endangered everyone, especially her beloved child. I cringed the entire time she conned Kang Ji Min. Real life doesn’t work that way, but I’m not here to lecture anyone. I’m glad that they at least showed through the child, that there were so many lies, that even she didn’t believe half of what the adults around her told her. You could see her confusion and disappointment.
This production was overall really well executed. And as much as I couldn’t stand Kim Ho Ran, her fashion sense was IMPECCABLE, down to the hairstyle, accessories and makeup.
If you’re highly sensitive / an empath, you should know that unless you’re willing to close your eyes a few times since a couple of scenes are quite gory (that’s what I did), you should really pass this one.
Lastly, I’d like to thank the team for the ENDING. I really thought it was going downhill in the last episode. After all, it’s a KOREAN melodrama, and they’re good at telling tragic stories. But it was pretty nice. A beautiful surprise. And for that alone, it was worth watching.

a family-oriented meloromance drama with mysteries
a family-oriented meloromance drama that deserves to be hyped up. note that if you're not into that kind of drama, it's not your cup of tea. it's definitely a good one that it never deserves bad reviews. at first few episodes i kinda find the story boring and i have no idea where this was going to lead me to but here i am, enjoying it more than i expected. i love this drama because i find it amazing how a mother loves and protects her daughter that she would go through all the troubles just to be with the daughter. Lee Yoori potrays that mother character so flawlessly and i can't help but to sympathize with her. it's also Yeon Junghoon's comeback after awhile and he definitely has a thing to pick a good drama! i'm looking forward to see more of him in romance dramas. i really really love that sweet vibe he has that i forgot that he was mostly villain in his previous projects. also i want to talk about the romance between the two leads because it's so warming to me. both have their own scars making them afraid to start a new relationship but they try to trust and rely on another. + shoutout to Kang Woojoo (her real name is Go Hanee) she's such an amazing talent despite her young age and she's also so lovely! i cant wait to see her in more dramas in the future.Was this review helpful to you?
Unexpectedly good
I've had this drama on my list for a while to watch but never got around to it. Every time I read the synopsis I kept thinking I wouldn't like this drama and since it didn't receive the same love that other popular dramas that were released around the same time had it went straight to the bottom of my list. But I was so wrong to leave it there until now!This drama has everything you need from a drama. There was suspense, drama and of course romance! From the very beginning, this storyline had me hooked. It touched on a lot of topics that we don't often see being included in other dramas like adoption, relationship abuse, wrongful conviction and more, which is why I think this had a lot more impact.
Here are just some more reasons as to why I really enjoyed this drama:
1. Stellar acting from all the cast they really helped bring this drama to life. They way they helped the characters develop was amazing and the characters relationships made way for some really heartwarming moments
2. It has great cinematic appeal!
3. There were quite a few twists and turns that I didn't expect coming that really added to the story
4.. Watching Kang Woo Joo (Go Na Hee) and Ji Eun Soo (Lee Yoo Ri)'s relationship blossom was really the highlight of the drama for me and the emotions that they conveyed left me feeling teary-eyed on occasion.
5. I really enjoyed watching Ji Eun Soo (Lee Yoo Ri)'s in particular and the journey this character goes on is really inspiring. Although she was released from prison with a vendetta I enjoyed how the character grew and realised the people who originally put her in prison weren't worth it, which gave us the chance to see glimpses of her finally enjoying her life.
If it's not on your list to watch I would highly recommend giving it a go!

Fast paced, doesn't drag
I enjoyed this show because it kept moving forward. The show focused on the main story. Male second lead was a breath of fresh air. Flash backs were brief and to the point. If anything, I wish we would have seen a little bit more of the FL's married life. I didn't have a good sense of what her relationship with her mother-in-law was like prior to the death of her husband. I can't say I 100% buy all the emotional responses of the characters, but it wasn't over-the-top enough to bother me. Romance was low-key and sweet. Overall, a solid watch.Was this review helpful to you?
the cast did great job specially the actress even though her voice was so childish but every time she cries god i get so emotional.
the final episode was great.
its so weird why did the mother hate eun sou I'm not so convinced with the reason it was so weak.
i really hated the way Jung Hoon mother treated his ex wife she was so mean.
Ho Ran played the villain role so well i wanted to punish her in the face.
after all it was one of the best 2020 drama's

Frustrating but good
This show man was frustrating at times but soo good.. was getting tired of the sick daughter plot but in the end, it became one of the key points and it became a tearjerker in the end. Man, I am so glad that mother-in-law got what she deserves and everyone's speculations were correct the bodyguard this whole time was her older son and only son. The son that was married to Eun Su was her adopted son and she didn't want that to be found out in the end. In the end, the truth came out Won Joo found out her mom was Eun Su, she even already knew she was adopted but didn't want to say anything. The ending was so beautiful and pure.Was this review helpful to you?
