I agree with everything except this, "In a mature drama with older actors that aren’t new to dating or relationships there’s an expectation that the romance will be appropriate to their age." That's not true, just about in most romcoms from Kdramas and Cdramas no matter what age group they all act like teenagers in love. They have 30 to 40 year old virgins never been kissed and still living with their parents. When they go near the ML or FL they grab their chest wondering why they have an elevated heart rate, smh. It's funny and ridiculous at the same time.
Lie to Love should have been like Refresh Man regarding the whole plot with betrayal and such.. thx god in Refresh…
Yeah i think in Refreshman it wasn't really revenge but more making life harder for her so she could learn and become better. In Lie to Love it did begin as revenge but it didn't really last long, maybe only a few episodes because she discovers early on the ML is innocent.
A good watch, i would've given it a 10 if there was more romance. A romcom where the romance begins on episode 12, smh. I know it's a hate to love relationship but that's still too long. The hate should've ended around episode 5, then from 6 to 9 they start to like each other and 10 to 12 become a couple. Instead they had it 1 to 10 hate, episode 11 start to like each other and episode 12 a couple. Not enough romance for a romcom.
Episode 12 onwards. Just hang in there. I finished the drama already.
There wasn't enough of those scenes, they were very rare and few and far in between. It was like one step forward and two steps back. There was no progression until episode 11. Not enough romance for a romcom.
Ugh, I keep getting worked up just thinking about this drama. Another scene that pissed me off was when Guang…
Lol, love this comment. I loved this show, 10/10 for me, but yeah i understand your frustrations. What made me upset the most was the FL keeping the son away from the farther, even when he came back into their lives she still didn't let him know he has a son.

Yeah I'm on episode 14 so it's good now, but it shouldn't have taken that long. A romcom where the romance begins on episode 12, smh.

Where's the romance? I'm just over half way and there's none. Isn't this meant to be a romantic comedy? I'm getting ripped off. They should add the tag slow burn romance, if the romance ever comes.
One of my all time favourites. I never saw blackface, they probably cut that part out by the time i watched it.
Yeah those were some funny moments when the ML was getting jealous about the headband and repeating the SML name. You're flying through it, it gets better when she realises he has feelings for her, you're not that far away.

The SML and FL work in the same industry, so when they're together it's more work related, but it's the usual SML using work to get close to her and the FL is oblivious to it.
Yes the SFL being nice is unusual but i think it worked out great for this show, it's refreshing and for me made the drama better.

Love triangle is between ML, SML and FL. The SML pursues the FL but she never likes him, he tried to confess but the ML intervened and confessed to her instead.
There's a smaller love triangle between the ML, SFL and FL. The SFL is his secretary, she likes him in secret but she's really nice and even helps the FL to be with the ML.
It's not dark, toxic or anything like that, just your typical light, fluffy, ML caring for the FL Taiwanese drama. I gave it a 10 if that helps.
