[Discussion] Lie to Me

I always like when the girl ends up with the obvious choice, but at the same time I tend to feel horrible for the guy that's left in the dust. They're usually my favorite character in whatever drama or movie it is.

I'm torn because I'm rooting for both the men in this one. ^^ I don't usually do that. I usually just pick one and feel sorry for the other one.... or completely despise them dependent on how annoying they are.

Upper Stratosphere levels of confliction for his second lead character (the way he's written and acted). With Sang Hee I just think.."aww poor boy. You need to go back to liking Yoon Joo...Now lets get to the Ah Jung/Ki Joon scenes, thanks!"

Yeah, I think there are too many fillers still and only 6 episodes to go.

That was an interesting end to episode 10. I must admit that I'm not as enthusiastic about these last two episodes as I was about the previous ones.

Ack, I just can't get behind the Sang HeexAh Jung coupling. =( Not because I dislike Sang Hee. Far from it---I love him my Silk Chocolate. I just don't believe the actor who plays him. It might have been built into the script since day one that he falls in love with Ah Jung, but the actor never convinced me either in his actions or in the way that he delivered his lines that he ever thought of Ah Jung as more than a friend. And that temper tantrum he threw in episode 10? Came off as more petulant than lovesick, as if Ki Joon were taking away his favorite toy, not his love. And his pouty hiccups, which I guess were supposed to be sobs, made me cringe. I don't mean to sound so harsh; I just don't know how to cushion all of that. =/

Yeah, a lot of the conflict in this episode felt really contrived, especially towards the end. I was kind of blown away by Yoon Joo's audacity, lying to the aunt that she and Ki Joon were going to get married. THANK GOD, the aunt has Manager Park levels of common sense and nipped that problem before it got too angsty. I was confused a bit by that final conflict. I guess for some reason if Ah Jung had admitted to being married to Ki Joon, she would have jeopardized her position. So Ki Joon took the fall for her and placed his own business at risk? But doesn't Ah Jung come out looking like a liar anyway? She already told her boss that she was married, which Ki Joon contradicted, so, um, he basically called out Ah Jung's lie in front of some important people. And now Exec. Chen knows that both Ki Joon and Ah Jung lied to him. And so... Where does that leave us? Does anyone have any ideas as to how this might get cleared up? Or what Ki Joon's rationale was here?

**also, I suppose how this will be cleared up is supposed to be our cliffhanger for next week? Or one of them. Its almost as if I'm not sure I want to analyze the plot too much or things start to feel...not as great as they are when I'm watching.

I just want to look at the couple, get excited about their chemistry, point and say ...oooh Pretty and Hot! Is that so wrong of me?

I think Ki Joon's going to take the blame for the lie, saying it was his idea in the first place and she just played along for his sake (or something). If he had let her keep on lying about their fake marriage, he would have had everything to gain and she everything to lose. Viewed in this light, his declaring that they are not married in front of everyone when she was hesitant in confirming it one second before, only reinforces the idea in everyone's mind that she did it out of good-will; in other words, he's going to declare that she lied to help him and not because she's a liar.

At least that's how I would resolve the thing, lol.

I hope so too!

I'm going to join everyone in thumbing this up hardcore. Also, if you need a recommendation for your application to the Korean Dramas Scriptwriter Association, I would write an impassioned one.
