While nothing will ever be as good as the Japanese version, they did a great job with the casting and the story. It fell short in many ways (not as emotional, for starters) but managed to hold its own. Worth a watch. I will forever be disappointed that we didn’t get a kiss though. Whatever.
This drama is such a joke. I was prepared to give it a decent rating until I watched the last episode, because despite the fact that I believe the whole second half of the series was seriously flawed, I really enjoyed the premise and the beginning. But the last episode? I was shaking my head towards the Drama Gods the whole time asking, "How can this be?" I think "Average" is now more than fair. This was such a waste of some really good talent. And granted, Lie to Me has it's moments, even later on...but mostly those are just Kang Ji Hwan trying to hold the whole thing together with his (sadly) impossibly cliche and boring character. I was really impressed he manage to bring any life into Ki Joon and I'm fairly certain that if anyone else had acted the part, I wouldn't of even bothered finishing this drama. Well, anyway, there's my rant. Watch at your own risk!
Cute, breezy watch. There is a good mystery and a sweet couple. The writing and acting seemed a bit amateurish which is why it only gets a 7 from me, but it’s short and fun so it makes for a nice filler or transition drama.
Uge. Awful. Used every spy-drama cliche in the book. No chemistry between the leads. Acting was mediocre at best. No clue why I bothered finishing other than it had so much potential that just never played out. Don't waste your time!
Surprising that that drama was 24 episodes...even more surprising was how they managed to pull that off without things dragging horribly or getting boring. Grated, I still think a typical 16 episode run would have been sufficient but regardless it was enjoyable. Jo Jung Suk stole the show, as always, and I’m a fan of pretty much everything Gong Hyo Jin does. They had good chemistry and were the driving force that kept this train going. I could watch them just be adorable together for another 24 episodes and forget the rest.
Started this drama forever ago, and finally finished after a long break. It can’t even begin to compete with “Kill Me, Heal Me”...another drama that had a veeeery similar premise and aired at the same time, which was unfortunate. However...HOT DAMN Hyun Bin is still so freaking gorgeous and sexy. I teetered more towards being annoyed with Han Ji Min than liking her which was also really disappointing. Couldn’t fully get on board with the couple(s) or their chemistry. In the end, I decided to just ogle Hyun Bin and enjoy the eye candy
While at times annoying, it was cute and sweet, although in the end—ultimately forgettable. It’s definitely worth a watch, I just don’t think much of it will stick with me. The character dynamics are somewhat unique and the plot twist was great though, which makes this show stand out amongst so many others that follow generic plot lines.
This drama...was okay. It was a little over the top and filled with "Seriously?!" moments but it managed to keep me hooked with a bit of charm, humor, and trolling episode cliff-hangers. I won't put it on my re-watch list but I wouldn't necessarily not recommend it either. Depends on what mood you're in.
I loved this drama so much when it was airing and fell head-over-heels for Chun Jung Myung...
Not to brag or anything (okay totally bragging cuz I'm gushing...) but I got to meet him face-to-face when I was in Korea. He was shooting a commercial at a bar one of my friends owns. We spoke like 3 words. Swoon. Just as adorable in person!

But the story...the story...
