Incredible start, What the H*LL happened?
I gave this 6/10 1 point for each of the first 6, really good, episodes. Whip smart, tight, and a very enjoyable infidelity-revenge Drama. By Episode 12 we get a CGI snake thrown through a window!An argument could be made for giving it more for the sheer novelty value of its massive implosion. It's as if Leonardo sketched Mona Lisa, started the painting, then got his drunk pet baboon to finish it

It is a watchable short modern drama about infidelity and revenge.
We All Lie is a modern drama about infidelity and revenge. It is a watchable short drama with only 16 episodes. The script is alright from episodes 1-14; the last two are stupid and predictable. The acting is C-rated from the entire cast. The main CP's acting is not great. Tan Yan Yan acted better than the FL.Synopsis: Su Li, a well-known screenwriter, thinks she has a wonderful husband and marriage. However, she gets an anonymous message telling her that Zhang Shu Heng has been cheating on her, with her best friend no less! After confirming that it's true and filled with pain and hate caused by such a betrayal, she decides to divorce him... until she becomes aware that he has no assets. Rather than being fooled twice, first by being cheated on and second by giving him half her net worth, she postpones the divorce. Yet this begs the question: how will Su Li get her revenge?
My Reviews:
1. It is a watchable short drama in which the 2nd FL acted better than the FL.
2. The acting of the entire ensemble is C-rated at best.
3. The main CP's on-screen chemistry is okay, and their acting skills are mediocre.
4. The last two episodes were not needed. It should have ended when she got her revenge.
5. The plot is nothing special. It is repeatable in many modern Cdramas.
Overall, it is a watchable. I give it a 6.0 rating.

Strong start, then the need for schemes took over
I got hooked, and really enjoyed the first 6 episodes.The story was strong, and the acting was superb.
Then, the crazy plots kind of took over, and what could have been a really good, gripping drama became a more “run of the mill melodrama” with mischevious people and one plot after the other.
The acting of both the FL and the 1st ML did impress me, which was one of the main reasons why I didn’t drop this. The other reason was that I was curious what kind of ending they would give the story.

Betrayed and Heartache
There will be part II. Just not finish yet and always forgiving for FL protagonist. Anyone who wanted to watch this, please wait first the to finish the part 2 as there's a heartache on this. And it was about relationship cheating man who is not well satisfied with 1 woman in his heart. If anyone is not good on emotion and had heart failure this drama is recommended at all. But anyone who is tough enough and able to accept the heartache this drama will be recommended, however, as mentioned, please wait the the part 2 in order to fully satisfied to watch this type of heavy drama. The wedding of a friend has had cheater husband.The wedding planner is not a beauty at all and secretly has relationship with the mistress. Not good,,,,haisssssss!what a cheater!Was this review helpful to you?
A Tale of Betrayal, Strength, and Second Chances
I read a lot of comments and a few reviews before watching this, and I’m actually glad I decided to dive in anyway. Everyone has their own taste when it comes to dramas and movies, and this one turned out to be much better than people made it sound.The drama as a whole was really good. Sure, there were moments that dragged and a few scenes that needed a little extra energy, but nothing that ruined the ride.
The female lead surprised me in the best way. I’ve seen her in supporting roles before, but never as the main lead. It made me genuinely happy to see her finally getting her moment. Her character went through betrayal after betrayal, yet instead of breaking, she stood her ground and fought for what was hers. That strength made me root for her every step of the way.
The male lead, on the other hand, was a bit overbearing at times — but honestly, that felt like the writer’s intention. What disappointed me was how he got pushed to the background in the last four episodes. We barely saw him again until the very end, and even then it was quick.
There were moments that had me laughing, especially when she was juggling everything without the others catching on. And then there were moments that made me mad, anxious, and wondering what life was about to throw at her next.
The ending was excellent — clean, strong, and perfectly set up for the next season. Now I just hope they don’t leave us hanging too long for Season 2.

The drama really lie to me.. that it was a good revenge story
"We All Lie" is a revenge story. Su Li is the main character, a famous writer that basically has the perfect life, but everything changes when she discover that her husband is cheating with her friend. Her rage can't be controlled, so Su Li makes a revenge plan, to make the people who hurt her suffer the same way.Su Li's plan seemed fun, but since the moment she gets Shu Heng arrested, the drama quality drops completely. Wei De's character is unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the story, it was kind of ridiculous to put a love interest for her so suddenly, when she just lost her baby and with her ex-husband in jail, even that Wei De was planned by Ying Ying.
Subjects don't last one episode, Shu Heng found out too soon about Su Li's revenge plan, I wanted to see her fooling him for much longer, that took the fun out of it.
No comments to the scene that Ying Ying's plan was discover by everyone and she lost her mind and try to stab Su Li with a scissors! HAHAHAHA'
I always loved a good revenge story, but the drama development is flaw, is too rushed, they couldn't really appreciate the story line. The revenge is over so fast, we barely have time to enjoy it.
In conclusion, "We All Lie" was a drama that had some good moments, but lost the change to be better.

Will she or won't she succeed?
We All Lie offers a gripping dive into infidelity and revenge. He Hong Shan’s Su Li is at once vulnerable and resolute, matched by Li Zi Feng’s charismatic yet culpable Zhang Shu Heng. Tan Yan Yan adds layers as the best friend-turned-adversary, fueling emotional stakes. Cleverly placed anonymous messages and shifting perspectives sustain intrigue, with each cliffhanger propelling you forward. Though the last two episodes feel rushed, the series overall maintains suspense and keeps viewers glued to the screen.Was this review helpful to you?
