Lie To Me: Open Thread? Vote!
by javabeans
So the recapping verdict is in: Miss Ripley in, Lie To Me out. Girlfriday and I are satisfied with this choice, inasmuch as we know our physical limits despite wanting to cover every drama ever. (Okay, not every drama. But a good chunk of ‘em.)
However, we realize there’s still a crapton of you online, right now, possibly maybe still waiting for the recap? And we realize that sometimes you just need a place to say your piece, vent, squee, fight over my man, et cetera. (By the way, he appreciates the love, but he’d like you go away now. Trust me, it’s what he wants.)
SO. We tossed around the idea of creating Lie To Me-specific Open Threads to discuss the respective episodes. (Caveat: We aren’t going to start doing this for every drama. We’re only opening this idea up now because we do feel bad for dropping one that was in progress.) Truthfully, we don’t know if this is even a good idea, or something you’d want. Ergo: Vote time!
*(Even though it’s a futile endeavor, as he is deeply faithful to JB.)

Its brilliant thanks for the blog info, I kindda agree with the view can't believe that Mary Stayed Out All Night was completed, but Lie To Me dropped :-( But I guess there are so many drama's out there at the mo its been tough for the ladies to even choose which to recap. I do think Lie To Me is being dropped just when I am finallly invested in it now at episode 7 and 8, might it have been better to decide after 7 and 8...

The drama landscape during Mary Stayed Out All Night was very different; you can't really compare the two situations. JB has said before that her choice to recap or not recap a drama is not necessarily a comment on quality.
Ree
May 31, 2011 at 7:49 AM
Thanks... I'm reading her recap right now.
Honestly, Mary Stayed Out All Night was bad, but I loved reading the recaps because it actually made the drama bearable. Even though LTM > MSOAN, I respect JB and GF's decision to stop recapping. They're so swamped right now!
When MSOAN was airing, there was basically nothing else going on (beggars can't be choosers). LTM is a just okay drama. The chemistry b/w the two leads basically carries the drama though (and the hot younger brother).
But other than that, there are too many characters and their stories going on. Seriously, Ah Jung needs family AND friends AND coworkers AND those people at the restaurant and all of their stories??
Plus, with Best Love, Romance Town, Baby Faced Beauty, and City Hunter, and now Ripley airing... I think JB and GF should have time for their own lives. Thanks for all the recaps ladies~!

Err hum, Dramabeans said before recapping the dramas, she would chose after which one to keep when she saw which drama she liked the best to recap, so you are bing rude. Is not the end of the world. You can watch for yourself or read in others blog DUH. Ripley won't have much chance because everyone is already full with BL, LTM.......

I hated Mary too, but they finished it because there were not a lot of other dramas that they were recapping at the same time. They would probably have dropped it if it were a contender in this month of May. They have jobs and lives too, and they clearly stated that they would pick and choose the ones they would recap for the dramas from May since there are so many.
Also, I think they are far from being bias. JB LOVES Kang Ji Hwan and also likes Yoon Eun Hye. The fact that she stuck to recapping for a good chunk of episodes even though she didn't like it, proves just that.
They also may weigh in on the drama once in awhile after a few episodes, so I don't know what the big deal is. Two other sites are recapping the drama. http://koalasplayground.com/ is a good example. And she has great insights.
Personally, Lie To Me is really hard to watch. The story is meandering to say it nicely, and most of the characters are uninteresting. I think I did a lot of forgiving because the two leads are so great and I can tell they are trying really hard. But what's up with all the fan service crap already? Are they trying to boost up their ratings in any way possible? Yeah the scenes are hot, but the characters' actions don't really make sense to me. It's not getting better to me and we are already at the halfway mark.

I agree Mary Stayed Out All Night was crap, but I still would recommend people to watch it, because otherwise they would not be able to find amusement in the comments made on this blog regarding that drama. And they would also not be able to appreciate the visits by "the cast" to this blog. Those were really memorable.

May 31, 2011 at 3:47 AM
I'm not sure the word "bias" is well-applied here, since javabeans' and girlfriday's opinion is what always decides which dramas they will recap, for good reason.
As for why they finished MSOAN and not this? I don't want to speak for them, but I'd imagine there are a few reasons.. MSOAN had hints of something better for a while, and it also went crazy in a pretty entertaining way (so I hear at least.. I didn't finish it myself).
I'm sure if they knew Lie To Me would be disappointing (for them, though not necessarily for you/us) they would not have recapped it. At this point, there is no point in their wasting time to recap a series that doesn't interest or delight them, or provoke thoughtful commentary.
Perhaps most importantly, there are way more dramas out than time in which to recap them. JB and GF are choosing the dramas that most appeal to them, which is totally their right.

May 31, 2011 at 5:16 AM
Hmmmm, how about YOU write the recap then?
I don't know whether they are being biased because if they are, would they (especially JB) choose LDH over KJW? Or a melo over a rom-com? I don't think so!
Anyway, I feel sad about this too but I can fully understand the girls' limitations. Besides, they're not the only ones recapping LTM and Ms Koala's recaps are also funny. So let us be thankful that there are people who are willing to do things for us FOR FREE, but be respectful of their choices.

I feel the same. JB & GF are the ones recapping it, and they didn't feel the drama since day one, so I don't really blame them for dropping it.
LTM plot-wise has been "blah" or rather lack of, but there is chemistry amongst characters. I guess watching it would be better for that reason since we're zero in the plot department =/
Anyways, I hope Ripley works out since they sacrificed their beloved "husband" Kang Ji-hwan (well, not fully sacrificed since we will get LTM open thread lol).

I can access Dramabeans at work where the internet is better, but video sites are blocked. Last resort is either taking time every night or on weekends to go to an internet cafe with a DSL connection that is better than mine, or borrow a copy from others when it's done. This is why the Dramabeans feed on my blog [I hope that's okay] is titled "Because my ISP is so mean it won't let me watch K-dramas on the web."

May 31, 2011 at 8:04 AM
That's a little bit harsh. Not all the dramas that she has recapped were starred in by idols. In fairness to Ockoala, she tries her best to give readers what they want. Let's just say that she has a different taste in dramas, is less objective, and fangirls a little bit too much specially about OTPs that she likes. I actually liked going to her site before because she was the only one who did the recaps for the YouTube episodes of Playful Kiss (and the biases weren't as blatant then). But after the intense love for MSOAN...*sigh*...and yeah, some dramas that I like she simply does not get...
Maybe we're just spoiled with JB & GF's writing style that we're expecting other bloggers to be like them. Just respect other recappers' efforts.

I agree, and I actually think this is an interesting idea... I don't know how it will work, but it would be great for those really hardcore watchers to have a place to squee with others. I hate it when I'm watching a drama and there's no-one to discuss it with. SO glad I got my friend into kdramas!
It'd be cool if you could set a time to watch it and people could comment in real time... but that might get horribly confusing and convoluted. Plus, I imagine an epidemic of 'squeeee!' comments like you get in Viikii's discussion tabs.
But yeah, this is a pretty fair decision, imo. Recapping looks HARD, yo. I barely have time to read them, idk how they find time to write them. Magical time-space-awesome powers only go so far.

there are at least other 2 sites that do recaps for this drama, and you guys need to rest so i'm all for dropping this from the recap list:)
btw omg it's been a very very long time since i saw the "recapped series" box (thing, whatever you call it) full... i almost feel like crying xD

I truly respect your decision and I hope Ms Ripley turns out good. One of three has to be a huge hit right? The cast is really great too - KSW for one. I will be watching for him.
I love LTM but it's easy enough to find other outlets to vent and subs come out amazingly fast as well since YEH fans seem super dedicated to her IMHO :) But I think an open thread would be interesting just to read people's comments and thoughts :)

JB/GF,
Thanks so much for your efforts. Totally understand that there's a limit to how much you can recap so I'm all for the open thread. Appreciate your recaps / comments on LTM thus far!
Please continue on the rest, such as City Hunter etc!
Will follow faithfully on those!
No disrespect to JB/GF here...

As much as I love Kang Ji Hwan (don't worry javabeans, he is all yours, I reserve my grabby hands for Gong Yoo, Won Bin , and Song Seung Hun lol.) and Yoon Eun Hye, the plot and writing is adversely proportional to the chemistry of the leads, which sadly even my love for the two actors can't keep my interest in the drama. Ripley so far has the potential to be good after some editing tweaks get fixed and the OST ups its game (sadly I don't think any OST will be as epically awesome as the Que Sera Sera one ).
I think an Open Thread is awesome because even if the story leaves a lot to desire I think the OTP is worth spazzing about, and you never know, maybe just maybe the later half will be better and I can see people needing a space to talk about it. Also like others have said there are other sites that are recapping Lie To Me so there is definitely other resources for the LTM loyal watchers.

I totally agree with you and I was SO disappointed with the first 6 episodes (well the first episode seemed promising but then things went down the drain) which is more than a whole third of the entire series. I was ready to give up on it after last week's episodes but I gave yesterday's episode a try and was pleasantly surprised. It was the first truly cohesive episode and made me connect with the 2 main characters... I think it's a good sign that the production has realized their error in handling the story and promised to focus more on the romance and our main couple, although it's very late in the game. Better late than never, I guess but I dunno... we'll have to see.
I've been looking forward to "Miss Ripley" for a while, so I'm glad you guys decided to stick with it :) Especially since you're the only ones that seem to be recapping it while several bloggers are recapping "Lie To Me"
But when it comes down to it, I simply respect your decision even if it had been the other way around. I'm amazed at how many recaps you guys are managing to keep up with already every week! Thanks so very much~ It's greately appreciated <3

Thank you for recapping Lie to Me. It must be hard work especially you don't really like the drama which I gathered from your recaps. Anyway, you did a good job recapping it! THANKS! Hope you make the right decision!

So when the disappointment of having LTM dropped simmers a little... can we talk about --
What the heck is going on with Sang Hee??? So moody. Did he actually think playing fairy godmother meant he could also be Prince Charming? Or is he now starting to ship Ki Joon and Yoon Joo?

May 31, 2011 at 3:49 AM
Exactly!
Does he still like Yoon Joo? Or is he falling for Ah Jung?
Or is he just jealous of his brother and any girl that happens to draw his attention?
Why was he angry seeing Ah Jung and Ki Joon together?

I'm a little bummed as well, but only because you've been spoiling up by recapping so much lately and I'm getting used to having it all.
You two take care of yourselves first, us later. Feel free to neglect Kang Ji Hwan (or any of the eye candy you're hoarding). The rest of us will gladly take care of him in your absence.

Ladies, please keep recaping LTM. i actually like it and don't think it is boring at all , and we are almost at half of it and Miss replay just started, we are not invested in it yet. and what about our kang ji whan???? we love him he is our hubby (jb and gf).

Hahaha your comments about Kang Ji-hwan are the best.
I think is a good idea. Im going to keep watching Lie to Me just because tomorrow (well in a few hours) I want to see that kiss and because Im already watching it and for some reason i want to finish all the May Dramas that Im watching. Lie to me Its not super super bad so I can keep with it. I think that recapping Miss Ripley is a good idea. I dont know if it is going to be bad or good, but its not a rom-com and of all the rom-coms out there Lie to me is the weakest, Miss Ripley is a good change.
At the end of the day, its your decision.
Just one question: are you going to participate in the Lie to me Open Threads ( I mean, a little comment here and there)? Please do it! At least once! I would love to read that sonet that javabeans wrote for Kang Ji-hwan.

I guess I voted wrongly on the open thread as well - it should have been a "NO" - I thot I was voting for the recaps to continue! Bummer!
So here's a no to Open Thread but a BIG YES to recaps!
Thank you!

i think that's because there are way too many dramas for JB and GF to recap recently so they have to choose! but when MSOAN was airing, JB and GF did have some time to spare for recapping it..
too bad for LTM cos it just happened to be aired along several (relatively) more interesting dramas :/

Probably because unlike with LTM, there wasn't so many dramas promoting at the same time when MSOAN was airing. In this case, there are so many dramas that started promoting in the same month each with a set of solid actors that you really have to choose which ones to recap.
