Lie detector and Major Maserati sponsership
First of all it might seem very childish to mention it in the review but the cars used in this show were absolute beauties .. Maserati is my dream car and watching the various models running in this drama made me excited on different level ..HOPE SOMEDAY I CAN BUY MYSELF A MASERATI CAR.Moving forward to more detailed review .. the story was basically very straight forward a girl can detect lies ( not the real truth) so the supernatural element was very limited to play with. Of course ! When i started watching this show I was anticipating her to use her ability in crime solving and stuff on regular basis but perhaps the writer wanted something else so he made her into a private lie detector or lie hunter who works freelance for money. Okay! fair enough! But for majority of the plot her ability doesn't direct the plot in any impactful way made me think what really is the purpose of adding this element...either way in the end her ability saved the day for ML and everything came together. The Twist in the end was something unpredictable for me.
The characters written are light ... I mean no character is overpowering things are going in cycle .. there is no serious villain for that matter ..each character has its own story.
Cast is decent .. ML is good actor but he can really work on his physique he looks malnourished. The scenes where he had piggyback the FL were painful to watch .. he needs to increase his protein in take and hit the gym ASAP. The second in my opinion was far more handsome, adorable , manly and strong. FL is without a doubt a supercool actress .. I am in love with her since bring it on ghost ..she is such cutie yet acts so mature ( 2-in-1) side cast is equally amazing .. a big SHOUTOUT to the actresses playing Cassandra and FL's mother both are my personal favs . Chemistry between leads is fine ..more to the soft side than passionate.
BGM is just okay nothing fab.
Overall it was a delightful show ..worth one time watching ( I will not rewatch it )

It started off as bland but then when you started to understand why things happened the way they did, it started getting interesting. Especially the murder mystery embroiled between the characters and trust me, when the real murder was revealed it actually got me by surprise. cuz I NEVER saw that coming!! and the reason behind it is something no one could have guessed! That's why I said, things get interesting when you know why they did to why they did.And a [rose] for Kim So Hyun, my baby is getting better in her acting with each of her projects. [heart] [heart]

My Lovely Liar: 12/21/2025 -12/23/2025
I actually really liked this show, I thought it was really cute and the romance was really good. It wasn’t too fast paced but also didn’t take forever for them to get together. The side plot was also very relevant to the story and was very fitting though at times it felt stressful. Though I do gotta give it props because it worked really well. Also, the plot twist was really surprising even though it made sense. My only complaint is that at the end it did feel like they were dragging it out a little, but I was perfectly fine with that cause I liked the show. Though this did cause some boring scenes in the last two episodes, mainly the last one.Was this review helpful to you?

If you don't have anything else to watch.... check this one ...
the premise of the story is interesting.... a girl that can hear lies and how can she cope with that.In a world where we are in constant "please others" mode... lying is a giving. So you can imagine what kind of life this girl has.
But as a smart woman... she had made a business out of it.
Here I thought.. GOOD FOR YOU! she is not a victim...
Of course, she meets the ML and there is something strange with him.. (typical.. he is the exception to the rule).
I liked that she behaved very normal with him... even though he is super famous and used to have everybody wanting something from him.
She does not need him... that is a big difference.
their romance started with a sort of friendship and moved quickly into something else... that was nice.
the story itself was OK.... It kept me interested until the end...
I took points out because the end was a bit blah....
SPOILER HERE
she decided not to profit from her gift and stop using it as a business... I do not understand why, instead of evolving with it, she quits it...
her romance with ML was cute / a bit childish too. Again one of the many k-couples that have never kissed anyone else, and behave like teenagers, even though they are 30 year old.
Overall.. it is an OK story... if you have nothing else to watch, it is OK.

They delivered what they promised, an breezy full of butterfiles romcoms with a twist of mystery!
I understand that people may have two different camps in seeing how Min Hyun’s acting on screen but I strongly, I repeat, I STRONGLY, believe he delivers what Do Ha/ Seung Ju is supposed to be as a character. His awkwardness but direct personality shines through his acting. He perfectly portrays how years of distrust actually shaped him as a person and that is why trust is really the currency that he responded to, underneath he is still a shy and direct person. So Min Hyun, if you ever come across to this comment section, believe us that YOU DID WELL!The plot twist from Deuk Chan’s motive is not really the best shot, it would be more intriguing if the pas GF was really killed herself and everyone was just doubtful of Seung Ju because of the circumstances and easily dismissed all of his background an track records. It is a hard situation and therefore really intriguing to explore.
But setting aside the above, kudos to the production team who breaks all the KDrama rom com trope that I did not like: Miscommunication between the leads!!
Kdrama romcom usually spends a lot of time just to make us frustrated of why the leads does not have an open and honest conversation and deals with it cool headed. They like to throw the typical trope - I love you so it’s better for you to stay away from me, kind of thing which is so 2010 man.
Here they spent less than 2 episode of some quick truth checking and our main leads back on track without any presumption and annoying will they wont they thing which can easily drag the drama. That’s how big trust and open communication are placed in the front and center theme of this drama.
Few more details that I love as decades long of a Kdrama fan here: They did not make the ML good at cooking! ? well he did his best but the thoughts and effort that counts! Not everyone has to be perfect! And the FL is so confident and far from a damsel in distress type of girl which I love.
I do figure some gaps in writing and my guess is bcs they added some details on the spot. It may be unpopular opinion, but I ADORE THAT APPROACH. It is so refreshing and that is what makes this drama extra special! How often you see the NG scenes are actually included in the final cuts, the casts and the director must have the same braincells that their humor works.
So again overall if you are looking for an easy breezy romcoms that will give you butterflies - and not the kind of I am a rich heir and therefore I am here with all my staff to save you kind of thing - go watch this! They really have the GREENEST relationship in a KDrama land where you both know you need each other and you placed trust and communication as bridge to keep the relationship healthy.
They promise us a romantic comedy with a dash of mistery, and sure thing they delivered it!
So an easy 8.5/10 from a kdrama fan here!!

A Fun, Cute, & Easy Watch
She can “hear” people’s lies.He’s a murder suspect in hiding.
Being neighbors should be interesting…
These 2 are adorable. I love how their initial unease & distrust of each other grows to a deep love built on the trust they’ve earned in one another. 💝
They carry deep wounds {horrible moms, exes drama} so they don’t let anyone fully in. But they start to reveal their pain & secrets to each other. And it’s just so satisfying to watch their love help heal their hearts 😍
Their antics in trying to solve the case made me actual laugh out loud, their pain made my heart hurt, & their devotion to one another made me swoon. 🫠
They’re genuinely good people. They have strong morals & stand their ground to fight for what’s right, even if it means they stand alone (though now that they’ve found each other, neither will ever be fully alone again…) 💕
My only dislike is the delulu SFL & SML. Like, take a hint (L I S T E N when they say N O!), grow up, & get your own life. 🤦🏻♀️

Good till it became a drag
The show did start off with a bang. The suspense factor was really there which I loved. The way the show made us believe that the ex k worded herself just for us to find out she was actually murdered.The romance factor I feel was so comforting and cute. I do wish we got more of it than the suspense part sometimes but other than that it was actually so good. I think I loved it even more since I love the two main actors in it.
The only thing I feel made this show kinda meh at points was the random scenes with other characters. Also the plot twist of the best friend liking Do Ha was good but like at the same time kinda was just thrown out there. This also made it a weak point on why he killed the girl (even if it was unintentional). Like come on really that is why you did what u did. Just cuz she was gonna expose him to Do Ha is ridiculous and insane to me. I wished it was a more shocking reveal to be honest.
However, I did find comfort in the main lead’s relationship and made me want to continue watching for that.

What I like most about this drama is this there’s a lot of plot to keep it interesting till episode 16 The chemistry between the leads to is so good
And the way all characters executed their role is so perfect (especially the side characters)
I’m so impressed , I’m pretty sure majority of the viewers here won’t expect the show to be this good and interesting I’m suprised too hope they keep up the pace

Its a good story line, but is long.
I think the the idea of the story is wonderful, but it almost drags out at the end. The "twists" aren't that good, they're a little predictable and not shocking/story changing. I think storylines like these need more unpredictable twists, more interesting. Though I haven't finished this, I find it has lost my attention, not as fun to watch anymore. Overall I think it's a good drama, just not the greatest, I feel this genre or sub storylines needs crazy twists which it did not have. I felt some of the side characters were unneeded or annoying. This is just my opinion and I haven't finished it so please don't hate!Was this review helpful to you?

Once the I realised the Biggest Lie I had to Drop This Sorry Tale
This story is based on a huge flaw.I am dropping this At Episode 8 because of a huge gaping plot anomoly or more like character anomoly that renders it totally dissatisfying. It just hit me at end of Ep 8 that the FL is a huge hypocritical liar and the story should not exist.
I feel so bad for the 2ML, the reason they broke up was purely the FL unwillingness to tell him her secret and so get a clear answer off him. Its not how she could trust him if he couldn't tell her this big secret? Its she is literally lying to him by omission every single day of their relationship. So he is just a noble idiot but she is a liar who, rather than sharing her secret to save the relationship, just breaks up with him. Then, she blames him for cutting her off. When he is just trying to get well to go back to her.
So now that she is honest with ML, it's all ah that's nice they trust each other this is why he's better than 2ML no no no she just lied to the 2ML but doesnt to the ML SHE was and is the problem.. It's just too silly. If she gets honest with 2ML 3 yrs ago he obcs gets honest with her and boom their beautiful love continues they get married have babies.
So its actually farcical that when the 2ML hears that she can hear lies, he didn't explode and say WHAT THE HELL!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO? WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE ME EXPLAIN? YOU THOUGHT I WAS CHEATING OR SOMETHING WHEN I WAS BREAKING MY HEART TO PROTECT YOU. BUT IT WAS ALL A JOKE CAUSE YOU KNEW I WAS LYING BUT COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO TELL ME!! AND WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THIS HUGE LIFE AND RELATIONSHIP ALTERING SECRET?? AFTER WE WERE MARRIED WTF YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LIAR OF ANYONE EVER!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME. Etc etc
So now I feel this whole show and anything that happens now will be tarnished, and I just can't feel happy for the FL for the shitty way she has treated and is treating her ex BF.
She should be married to him. Instead now he and we have to watch her doing with a new guy what she wouldn't do for him be honest!!!!! Specifically at end ep 8 she says you dont have to explain why you apparently lied about killing someone I believe you and trust you so much I dont even want to know why it seems your lying or what it's all about.
She couldn't trust the 2ML the guy she agreed to marry for not telling her why he was going away for a few days!!! We also have to watch 2ML being all nice and understanding about it. At the very least, can't he call her out on her unbelievable hypocrisy. Who writes these glaring plotholes.
Am I making any sense? I think I am.

If I say I like this drama very much, you can hear a ring bell.
I don't want to lie. Starting is very good, but when episodes continue I feel they try to push something. The story starts very unique and mysterious. FL has her own story, ML is mysterious. TheyBut I can't feel the chemistry between FL and ML. They can show their feeling very well I think. Kim So Hyun was amazing in School 2015. But nowadays her acting doesn't improve. She can't show the character's feelings very well. Sometimes I feel she just reads the lines. They look like siblings or friends.
Also, supporting characters are so annoying and just put in the story because of the screen time. I don't understand why they are in the story. They are sooo extra to get closer main character. I just skip them.

The plot feel flat halfway through
I only stopped at episode 10 after I binged watched it in one go and after I slept it off, I am thinking of picking another kdrama.It's a shame really how it started good despite some issues. It has potential but I knew already from the first episode that this will be a letdown in the end. The directorial seems very good with action scenes but was hasty, ill-paced and shifty with the other scenes. There are scenes that left me confused if my app was bugging as the next scenes and pictures are just introduced so suddenly and sometimes I just felt that they should prolonged some scenes and shorten some. It really felt like it had a newbie director.
For a serious tv series, it sometimes pull some excessive scenes to build up the plot which was sad because the plot only has one main plot and it's disappointing as there could still be areas that the story can grow and with more plots to developed.
The reason I watched this one despite its lack of hype after it finished airing all the episodes was because of the two main leads which I am both a fan of. They are really the reason why I had stayed for ten episodes and after the revelation and resolution of MLs past , I just don;t have a reason to continue anymore. Firstly, I think the script and direction has made their character hard to portray justifyingly. They are both good actors but they are given a stale characters. Hwang Min Hyun's character was mostly wearing a mask all through out episode 8, couple with his messy hair, it's really hard to like him as I can see him just a random person without seeing his face and it's hard to see his emotions and feel for him. Kim Soo Hyun's character was boring, it was given some back stories but it felt shallow.
The plot also were only focused on MLs past and they were milking it all throughout. That reall made me disappointed how the writers ability was just that much and the director can't even suggest to elevate the story and made the plot more than just a single plot that can be resolve in a few episodes without putting so much filler scenes in between just to add screen time and to finish the whole 16 episodes.
I really miss Legend o the Blue Sea and Goblin's plot progression as I hardly find it in Kdramas nowadays, they made so much potential and they exceeded what was expected by creating so many plots, and interesting one too, all through out the end.
