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.)

It's all about time -
I think they stay away from the longer dramas. Sometimes the recaps can get repetitive.
CYHMH is 30 eps or two 16-ers.
I have to say, though, CYHMY really has managed to avoid the lather rinse repeat of some of the longer shows. Very impressed with the writing on that one.

Just please don't drop Romance Town!
Personally, I'm more invested in Lie to Me than Best Love. And not too interested in Ripley...
But, since you two are human beings, I can't expect recaps on everything. Lately, I've just been refreshing this webpage since something new always comes up. Which shouldn't be happening since I can only imagine how much time it consumes.
And, just saying... we should probably stop taking your recaps for granted. Next time, I think it'd be better if you two choose on your own. You might get angry feedback, but I think you should recap a show you enjoy watching. You have the right to; after all it is your site!
Anyway, thanks for all the recaps you post up. They're really quality and sometimes draws me into watching a certain drama! Not to mention your 1N2D recaps pulled me into the adorable character of Tae-Woong :) Glomp. Off-tangent, but meh. He is always worthy of a mention!
Despite not being that interested in Ripley, I look forward to those recaps as well, and appreciate the work and effort you put into this! Gracias!

i'm happy with the decision. though i really like 'lie to me', i have to say, you can't really recap much (slow movement on plot). plus i'm not sure if i want to watch ripley yet, so the recaps will definitely help me.

I read the comments on the first few pages and I was pretty disappointed by everyone who complained or made immature, snotty remarks. These voluntary recaps obviously take up a lot of time, so if the recapper wants to quit, it seems obvious that it's his/her right!!! Not to mention, apparently there are other blogs that are recapping this, so it's not like readers will never be able to access Lie to Me recaps. If you like Lie to Me that much, I think you should watch it. Quite simple. If you wait long enough, it will appear on DVD/dramafever/etc.
I can't believe how people can act so rudely. Personally, I think Lie to Me is pretty boring. But it's a rom com with Yoon Eun Hye, so yes, it's inevitable that this will be popular. If dramabeans was a site that catered to readers, then yes, it seems obvious that Lie to Me should be recapped over Miss Ripley, since most readers prefer rom-com's to melo's. But dramabeans is run by drama fans that are, yes, INDEPENDENT human beings. It's their choice. They are free to choose to recap Miss Ripley over Lie to Me. I would also prefer recapping Miss Ripley since Lie to Me is pretty boring, in my humble opinion.
Anyways, I suppose I understand Lie to Me fans' disappointment. But again, there are other sources of recaps for Lie to Me~~
eep, sorry for the rant -_-"

While would you still mind recapping it if your not happy doing it...doing so will just turn your recaps bitter... writing should have passion....it should not be not an order and imposed...you should write out of love...much as i'm disappointed on you dropping Lie to Me, I can't do nothing but to resort to other sites to continue on the recaps...
so JB and GF just write out of love and not just for fan service bcoz clearly when you do that "it shows" and readers can feel the "coldness" in the writings...thank you though your site has been my "relaxing escape."

to JB and GF, THANK YOU for all the recaps you have compiled over the years. It's your decision to recap whatever drama you want, and honestly, we should all be happy with you providing this site for us all to enjoy. I know for me since finding your blog, watching k-dramas have been so much fun!
in regards to LTM, i absolutely understand why you'd drop it. It's a well used story line, and if it werent for the insane chemistry between the 2 leads, I would have stopped watching myself. I watched the first 6 episodes over the weekend and whenever they werent in the scene, i found myself wandering off. Thank you for keeping the open thread! I love the wee caps :)

I don't care about Lie To Me... They wasted such a wonderful title which was also used by Tim Roth and they don't deserve my pity. (Even if I may continue to watch it... Still have to decide).
But PLEASE, are you going to recap Baby Faced Beauty? Because I was going to let it pass but it's really funny, it'd be even more funny with some dramabeans recaps :)

I don't mind that you guys dropped Lie 2 Me esp when the only thing that made me watch it is the main leads. Just choose the drama that you want to recap. Reading how long the recappers do every review( I think I read it at Thundie blog?) made me to be satisfied enough to read your recaps.
However, can you guys make comments for Lie 2 Me when it's ended?

I watched Miss Ripley ep1 and it's quite interesting though there are some flaws ( which kdrama doesn't right?). So, I'm fine you guys dropping Lie to me since nothing interesting happening and I totally agreed that the reason most of us keep on watching is no other than KJH & YEH.
Thanks guys for the effort!

I admire you two although I personally want you to recap this because of my two favorite korean actor and actress were there, but I feel Miss Ripley will be a good one too and because you two are the best in recapping and there are so many good k dramas are airing right now I truly understand your decision. Thanks for giving your precious time recapping this and the other dramas. Take Care always. One more thing have you heard about the Hana Kimi Korean Version to be produced by SME? I was just curious if you're going to post news about that here? :p

I understand. When you recap a drama you have to enjoy it, and at the end of the day, you are doing this for fun, and Lie to Me can be a little bit frustrating to watch, there are times in which I just skip to the protagonist of how annoying it could be.

Haven't read MR but just love LTM. I kinda like the storyline. Not because of the actors but it is very entertaining. I can't stop smiling and laughing at the same time.

I totally respect your choice on which drama to recap, if people don't like it they can go elsewhere. Your site has been fantastic and your writing is great. I will continue to check your site for all the goodies that other blogs do not post.

You should give this drama more try..
It does really good! I admit that the starter episode is boring and cliche. But after the story get hotter, It just turns out into different level.
people should put more attention on it.
Or maybe LTM just on the bad timing to air drama, since their competitor is the hard one.
:(
But anyone read this. Please, just give it a try! You won't regret it. I promise you.
