As always, Korea is the best when it comes to historical/political movies, especially that are based in true stories. It's mind blowing and emotional. This movie made me so hooked and immersed with the plot and characters. I cried and it gave me even more heartache when they showed the real life footage and info at the end. Salute to the heroes and survivors 🙌

I really find it funny in the scene where the female lead said she'll excuse herself from the project, then there's a boom sound effect and the second male lead looked up at her being shocked 😂

The second male lead is so annoying. He's a delusional, entitled, narcissistic guy who thinks he didn't do anything wrong. It's actually creepy how he deliberately put up their old photos and letters so his ex-girlfriend can see it. He's one step ahead of turning into a stalker. Even if he was sick, it doesn't excuse him for being a jerk and hurting the female lead. I'm so glad that the vice principal confronted him and told him to leave her alone. I hope the female lead will not fall for his sympathy card and instead, slaps him so his brain will fall back to the proper order.

You should watch "River Where The Moon Rises", her drama in 2021 where she played a warrior princess/assassin. Her acting is brilliant and it got her nominated for Best Actress in Baeksang, making her the youngest nominee at 22 years old. It's a historical drama so it's not that popular among kdrama fans and unfortunately, the actor had a controversy that made other people turn away.

I've watched Kim Sohyun's dramas since she was a child actress and honestly, romcoms doesn't really show her skills. She shines more in strong roles with emotional acting. Her next drama "Good Boy" has a good potential, it's a comic action crime drama where she'll play a shooter athlete turned police officer.

This. It's simple yet it could've been a good first love-second chance romcom, but they had to add the cliches just to keep the plot going and the fillers to make it longer. It probably would have been better if it only has 6 eps that focuses on the main couple's growth instead of adding other people.

Her character was supposed to be a strong woman who's vengeful for her father's death. Her teasers even includes her holding swords so people had high expectations. But eventually, her character turned into a damsel in distress while the second female lead was made to be better. Her character was poorly written and was treated like a side character. Also, Sohyun had to cry many times while filming which made her felt lost and didn't understand the worth of her character. Netizens also blamed and hated her due to her character. The writer was a newbie and it seems like she only used and fooled Sohyun. Sohyun didn't expect that the script would turn out differently and it mentally affected her as an actress. She experienced slump for the first time at 18 years old.

PS. Back then, there was a conspiracy that the writer probably favored the second female lead since she came from a powerful agency 😅

Yeah I've watched that drama before. The male lead's ability is mind reading while helping the normal female lead. But My Lovely Liar is different since the female lead's ability is specially focused about hearing lies and truths, it would've fit better in a court setting where justice should be served.

Thinking about this drama will always makes me sad... It's not because it has a bad ending, but more of the fact that it has bad viewers who keeps insulting this drama and especially hating on Kim Sohyun. I've been a fan of Sohyun since 2013, but sometimes I feel like a fake fan for wishing she didn't pick this drama. This drama gave her more popularity because of the Netflix trend, but it also just downgraded her career because of how mediore the script is and people hated her character so much to the point she's also being attacked as an actress. Someone even said they would boycott her. The hate she received while playing as poor Kim Jojo is even more extreme when she played a villain role in Moon Embracing the Sun. It's sad to see how some people are even calling her a bad actress just because of Love Alarm, when she's one of the top child actresses and she has proven to be excellent especially her peak with School 2015.

Actually, back in 2018, Sohyun was first offered to star in the Miss Granny remake, but the production was unstable so she declined it. And then Love Alarm came. Her career could've continued thriving if she only picked Miss Granny and Love Alarm didn't exist in her filmography. What a wasted opportunity.

PS. The haters of this drama are literally crazy. It's okay if you don't like this drama. But saying this is worst than Hitler is PSYCHOTIC.

Kim Sohyun has changed agencies for 3 times now. It's not about her agency, but it's just her picking the scripts. If she doesn't like something, she could've just refused it. But in the recent years, she really prefers romcoms since it's more fun and relatable to her.

She actually had a historical melodrama "River Where the Moon Rises" (2021), but it's not that known among kdrama fans. Sohyun was a great actress in that drama but she suffered due to the actor's bullying controversy. The same thing happened before in "The Emperor: Owner of the Mask" (2017) where she had a slump due to the writer's betrayal. That's why she's picking more romcoms with simple scripts since it's easy for her. Hopefully soon, she'll pick more strong scripts/challenging dramas that are also good for her health (her upcoming drama "Good Boy" might be great).

Oh I see.

Remembering this drama and the ability of the female lead is actually unique. She can know what is a lie and truth by the distinguish sounds she hears.

In the first episode when the female lead was a high school student, she was planning to be a prosecutor, but she gave up since she's not that smart and she's poor. So instead, she decided to run her own business as a "liar hunter" while disguising it as a tarrot shop. I like this drama, but I'm also a bit disappointed since the female lead's ability was kinda thrown away half through the drama.

I wonder what would it been like if this was a crime legal drama and the female lead is a prosecutor/lawyer... I think it would've been so much better and she can utilize her skills further. She can easily know who is lying among the criminals and victims. There's a defect in her ability because the lies and truths are not certain and it can cause misunderstandings without knowing the real reasons behind it. But all she needs to do is uncover it and find evidences, which is part of her job. I would love it if they make a spin-off drama about the "liar hunter" being a lawyer.

Kinda random, but I don't like how it's called "loser" when the male lead is the one who first falls in love, does effort to get noticed and stays loyal to the female lead. It's not an insult, but that term is not fitting at all. Also, it seems like some people don't like/getting tired of this kind of male leads because they're "simps", when actually, they're just green flags who are so much better than old typical kdrama male leads who are arrogant and in denial about their feelings to the point they would act mean to the female lead. Anyway, I just started hearing about this "loser" term in 2024 and where did that even come from?

Agree. I find the male lead bland because of his cold and aloof personality, which also makes the actor looks stiff and annoyed. That's why I don't feel anything about him even in romantic scenes. It doesn't feel sincere.

I like the female lead since she's so fun and easygoing, she just do whatever she wants. Her "oddball" nickname really suits her. But at the same time, I kinda find her annoying with how childish and dense she is (it's understandable especially since she was just a highschooler in love with the second male lead and her adult self is now more cautious). Some people are already expecting that she'll be very in denial about the male lead and I hope it won't be for long.

I like that the male lead is a green flag, but to be honest, he's just so bland and I don't feel anything about him. His romantic scenes doesn't feel sincere to me. His cold personality is boring and the actor is not convincing.

I don't like the second male lead since he's a red flag, but the actor is better and he's good at conveying his emotions.

I like the second female lead since she's mature and didn't try to ruin their friendship over a boy. She knew to let go of her one sided crush and accept the situation. I'm so glad that she's genuinely supporting her friend. But to be honest, it's bothering how the actress has awkward expressions.

A lot of exceptional kdramas/movies in different genres also gets lower ratings despite being "true masterpieces and pieces of art". For example, Mask Girl and The Wailing, but it's not the taste of most kdrama watchers/MDL users. Romcoms are just more popular and they get the most hype because it's simply enjoyable and eye candy.

Honestly, I find the second male lead so annoying. I understand that his character is supposed to be kind and optimistic, but that also makes him so naive and sensitive. I'm so glad that the male lead is criticizing him everytime he makes rushed decisions/wrong actions. He feels so childish, so he needs to be more mindful and toughen up.

Just my personal opinion... I like gentle nice guys, but I don't like guys who are "overly kind". It's good that you won't have to worry about them hurting you, but you'll definitely worry that they might bring trouble to you, especially because they easily trust and help other people. Due to their innocence and naivety, they don't know how to put boundaries to other people.

"The Auditors" is definitely one of the best dramas this year and it deserves more popularity. The cases are intriguing and people will learn about white collar crimes in this drama.

Serious stuffs aside, I like their chase scenes. I find it funny how the criminals are running away because they don't want to get caught especially when they didn't want to give the laptop lol.

I thought she was in her late 30s so while watching My Sweet Mobster, I'm amazed how cute and youthful she looks like. Her face is literally glowing. But I found out that she's born in 1990 and she's only 33 lol~ Han Sunhwa is really beautiful and I like her refreshing vibes.

The main cast is now confirmed. Finally! Sohyun is getting her well deserved drama with a quality script and senior actors. It's an action mystery drama and she's the only female lead. I'm already so excited for her badass character as a gold medalist shooter turned police officer. Sohyun is a phenomenal actress and I'm sure she'll slay this since she played many strong characters before (especially Reset, Let's Fight Ghost, RWTMR where she had action scenes). She's been starring in many romcoms in the recent years, that's why I feel even more glad that this is a non-romance drama that focuses on crime cases. And if there is a slight romance, I wouldn't mind as long as it doesn't dragged the main plot and Sohyun's character is not just used as a love interest.

I'm kinda surprised with the other cast though, since I thought this would be a youth drama about young athletes and Oh Jungse would be their leader. But I like that they also included older athletes and OJS is the villain. It's interesting and I hope this drama will be good!

Someone commented about Sohyun's hairstyle and I actually wished that she didn't have bangs for the adult part to make her look mature as a 29 year old in this drama. She looks cute as a student and she still looks the same as an adult. Usually in other dramas, actresses have different hairstyles by bangs vs bangless to distinguish their past and present characters.

This movie is like a lucid dream that made me feel hypnotized. I love it, the vibes and the ending that was almost to end.
