lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off

i don’t think i appreciated this drama as much as i could’ve when i first watched it in 2023. i only had true beauty under my belt at the time, which is hilariously sad, but after watching a lot more and getting familiar with what’s common in this genre, i appreciate my lovely liar wayyy more now. i especially liked how the relationship between 도하 and 솔희 is part of their healing rather than something that happens AFTER they’ve already healed. they genuinely helped each other grow, and i think all of the coincidences that brought them together made their relationship feel almost fated. i also appreciate the character arc with 솔희 in terms of her black and white worldview on lying. the drama just kept showing her that knowing someone is lying doesn’t mean that you understand why they’re lying or what the lie actually means. i feel horrible for 강민 now too ㅠㅠㅠ i fear if this was real life, 솔희 should’ve just gotten back together with him. however his storyline works well in terms of reinforcing the idea that lies can have good intentions. i think one of my only issues is the murder plot sometimes? i think it sometimes feels like it’s holding the story back, especially when the romance and the themes of truth and lies are much more interesting to me. overall, i wouldn’t say this is a drama that completely changed my life, but i think i can appreciate what it was trying to do more now than i did the first time around
