Lie To Me: Episode 10 Open Thread
by javabeans
Weecap!
Both sides have acknowledged their feelings for each other, so to keep the drama going for another three weeks, Episode 10 introduces a grab bag of manufactured conflicts. Warning: Don’t think too hard, or head hurty.
So Ah-jung acts demure on her mat-seon, Sam-soon style, and Ki-joon drags her outta there, Sam-shik style. She admits she likes him, and asks him not to like that other chick. His stance: I don’t like her, but I don’t want to hurt her, hence I will hurt you, the one I do like…. He asks if she could like him if he were so wishy-washy as to renege on an old commitment. No, I’m sure she loves ya because you’re wishy-washy about your feelings. Ugh, this is the Full House conflict that drove me batty. It’s like the opposite of having your cake and eating it too. It’s…purposely buying your cake, setting it out to look at all day, and then giving it away and watching someone else eat it.
Manager Park rips Ki-joon a new one for his stupidity (yay!) and tells him to grow a pair, and that trying to let Yoon-ju down easy will hurt her more. Yoon-ju does her share of crazy by announcing her wedding, without telling her groom. She lets that drop in Ah-jung’s lap triumphantly.
Ki-joon tries to explain that it’s a misunderstanding, and tags along on Ah-jung’s work dinner, buying out the restaurant and toasting her co-workers from the next table over. She gets drunk and drops her phone, which he picks up and returns, but not before recording a video clip where he calls her “Ah-jung-ah,” which she listens to on repeat.
So-ran’s Catty Crew buys friendship rings, and So-ran buys one for Ah-jung. Is reconciliation in the picture? But no, Jae-bum drops by and gets all handsy with Ah-jung (hands of concern!), and So-ran sees and misunderstands.
Ki-joon offers to wait until Yoon-ju has gotten over him before starting with Ah-jung. Sure, why not? We need the conflict, even if it’s nonsensical. Yoon-ju apologizes about lying about their wedding, but says she may never get over him — will Ah-jung wait for him forever? You two geniuses are ignoring the more pertinent question: Does Ah-jung know she’s waiting? Ki-joon instead asks for “some time,” because he just can’t cut the cord. JUST BREAK UP, YOU LILY-LIVERED WUSSYPANTS.
Sang-hee sulks, drinks, and throws a hissyfit over falling for another girl his brother likes. His tortured broodfest is horribly uncomfortable to watch. Sorry, honey, you’re super cute but you’re not nearly a good enough actor to pull this off, cringe.
Ah-jung plans some big tourism conference — at a World Hotel resort, natch — and who should show up but Chairman Chen? Oh god, this old chestnut? AGAIN?
She worries that she might be fired — another colleague was let go because of the messy handling of his personal relationship, and civil servants are apparently supposed to be free of any and all scandal, not that this makes any sense, but hey, we need more false conflict! So Ki-joon promises to divert Chen and scrambles to intercept him, only Ah-jung (of course!) runs into him first. Chen is like, Hello there Mrs. Wife! And her minister boss is like, Uh, Wife? They wait expectantly and ask if she’s married or not.
Ah-jung is torn — tell the truth and preserve her job? Or say she’s married and save Ki-joon’s investment? The power of love compels her to lie and say she’s married, only that’s when Ki-joon appears and announces, “No. I’m not married.”
Wha—? Are you a Noble Idiot, or just an idiot? It’s hard to say.

January 1, 2014 at 12:01 AM
nope, it's ok! and i dont understand why a lot of people are hating on him. Sang Hee was really sad in the beginning bc of the whole love of my life is about to marry my brother, which is some pretty hardcore emotional issues, so he freaks out when he's DRUNK. and then runs away probably bc he couldnt face going to the wedding or couldnt face his brother after breaking up Ki Joon and Yoon Ju. i dont think he meant to maliciously break them up, he just happened to be drunk and said more than he should have/intended to say. which is why when he eventually returns, he supports Yoon Ju and Ki Joon even though he still has some lingering feelings for her. and meets Ah Jung first. they get along really well. and i ship them together, even though sang hee deserves better bc their relationship is just one-sided. all he does is help her and all she does is go for his brother. which causes a whole repeat of love triangle drama. ay yi yi.
and on a side not, the actor for Sang Hee is actually a pretty good actor. just bc you don't like his character doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad actor. also it could be a mix of factors such as lines, bias. but if you watch Shut Up Flower Boy Band, which is a newer drama, he's really good in it.

Haha....I can see this happening, they think they might be related-Ah-jung's mother was the long lost sister of one KJ's parent (pick one) who was kidnapped as a child and never heard from again.
But really it turns out to be a mistake/misunderstanding, Ah-jung's mother wasn't a lost sibling, so they're not related.
Rina
June 8, 2011 at 7:10 AM
Following your suggestion that SH isn't really KJ's younger brother, what if SH is really KJ's cousin. SH (or KJ, it can work either way) the aunt's child out of wedlock and her family forced KJ/SH's parents to raise him as their own to avoid scandal.
If you want to make it makjang, maybe the aunt was pregnant by married man and affair was ended when he discovered she was pregnant.

As Dramabean's Yoon Eun -hye's #1 fan, all I can say is that I am utterly pissed off at the writer and PD.
The problem seems to lay in the fact that they are banking in the fact that YEH is a best seller, and by that I mean that even when the show started to “suck” really hard, the shoes, purses/hand bags, cell phones, and clothes, that she wears they have been selling out in Korea.
But honestly the Chemistry between our OTP is the only thing that has keep me going on with this drama, I can honestly say that the story line is worst than “Take Care Of Young Lady.” The other problem that I see is that even when being “Loyal” is one of YEH best character attributes, seems to me that people are taking advantage of that, while she commits to do a drama or movie, the people who invest in her persona do it only for the money.
I do hope that she will made wiser decisions in the future, since this the drama story lines have not work as good for her in the last 2 dramas.
What a waste of talent!!!!! YEH Fighting!!!!

Their "chemistry" is their only saving grace. This is starting to..or rather almost falling into the MSOAN trap. God forbid, if it falls any deeper- I'm pulling out!
It seems K-drama's fantasy "contract marriages" never works out and divorces good storyline, but only close success I could think of is Full House (though I finished that drama with a frustrated facepalm ._.)
So disappointed with the "Lie", it suppose to be central concept of the show, but now its...I dunno. Kinda feel cheated, they sold me something else! Anyways, just glad that its YEH & KJH are the ones who selling it to me~

The whole "don't think too hard" is a cop out.
It's not like one had to think too hard for rom-coms like MGIAG or "My Princess" (much less "Best Love" or "Coffee Prince") - I mean, c'mon, they're rom-coms - but the others, at the very least, had some good writing and witty, fun dialogue and interesting characters, and weren't some "paint by numbers" scripted K-drama.

Even though I still love YEH and KJH, I feel pretty sorry for them, getting caught in that.
phew, I was about to rant on how bad the show is, and how I feel happy JB&GF dropped it (though I admire you for sticking with weecaps ! Props), but I shall not.

This is one drama that I will remember only the leads and the kissing scenes and say "not a complete bad one"
the thing is with amaizng leads and such a great story... they really could have had a awesome drama.
Anyway no matter the out of place writing of this drama, until now, am not regretting my time watching it!
And I really think YEH has some magic ability to not make one bored and no matter how bad the story goes, she takes me into the character. Watching for her!

Word on YEH's magic ability. You give a drama a chance precisely because it's YEH, but because of that chance you get sucked into YEH's charm and chemistry.
How gratifying it will be when she finally picks up a worthy project. If she has this much chemistry with Kang Ji Hwan, then I sorta wished she was cast as female lead in Hong Gil Dong....at least that wasn't as much as a hot mess.

It pains me a bit to admit that LTM is a hot mess. Hawt mess. Hawt. On fire. Flaming. Inferno of a mess. I had such high hopes for YEH after the disaster that was her last drama. Maybe it's time for her to go on another drama hiatus; she may be due for a few more insanely pretty photoshoots across Europe. Poor girl. She can't seem to catch a drama break post-Coffee prince.

YEH's acting has not improved much ever since coffee prince.. her acting is always over exaggerated sometimes and it's not the first time seeing her stumble awkwardly/act clumsily around the guy she likes/wake up with messed up hair and bleary-eyed and generally being a confused messed-up wreck. in fact her depiction of the character feels like something i've already seen before many times in her previous dramas! it's really time for her to work on her acting skills instead of just looking pretty

I think it's kinda fun that JB's gone with the informal thread thing,so I don't mind the wicked commentary. It's more like she's just one of us pleb commenters, and she can just say what she really thinks now that she's freed from writing formal, full recaps with more er... understanding criticisms. I hope people don't hate, because this show is just slightly bonkers, and JB deserves a little outlet for fun via making fun of...
MSOAN would have been hilarious if JB and GF had decided to write recaps like this.
though the leads are very good looking, and the the chemistry is rawr, the plot is WTF and I'm glad the girls aren't wasting there time with serious recaps.. waste of their talented selves (waste of a lot of talent this drama, isn't it?)

I'm curious to see how they're gonna fill the next 6 episodes? cos to be honest, there's no more plot left really... they're gonna have to throw a major development in here, or it's just gonna be,
KJ: she's my girlfriend, who I WANT to marry, sorry for the confusion Chinese Guy.
AJ: yay! but wait, you're totally still with YJ!
JY: I'll never let you go KJ!
SH: why does nobody ever like meeeee? *sobs in corner*
cue lots of angst montages and misunderstandings that don't do anything to advance the plot.
KJ: I've grown some balls! JY, I'm so over you, move the fuck on already! AJ I love you
AJ: I love you too!
SH: noooooo!
YJ: I'm available
SH: screw that. you're old news, bitch. go back to france cos this family is OVER U!
that's like not even enough plot for 1 episode... I would not be surprised if there was a coerced into cohabitation scenario, or an equally cliche drama trope. sigh

"Lie To Me" is such a hot mess that i can't walk away (i'm Masochist apparently lol) ,
i'm so disappointed by this drama and "Romance Town" but i can't drop them for some reason, so glad that "Greatest Love" is amazingly fun and addictive.

I know you don't talk about So Ran in here, but that situation made me sad. I know you kind of don't get the friendship but i honestly like it so much. i mean, i feel like the reason So Ran was like that was because she didn't know how to have a friend really.
i don't know. this drama is a mess, but i love it.

It is the classic "frenemy" relationship. They were friends, but the little green monster -jealousy- ultimately tear them apart one wanting what the other has. So-ran stealing Chae Bum because AJ, I think, personally was the more successful student and the close sunbae/hoobae relationship they had. Then, after she stole him, her marriage, to her surprise, was less than perfect, even downright terrible but she (So Ran, that is) couldn't lose face to AJ or anyone and acts that she has the perfect marriage because she couldn't be a failure after doing such a horrible thing to her friend. This, in turn, makes AJ jealous, bringing out her insecurities as to the reason she wasn't the one Chae Bum wanted, she blames So Ran for stealing him because well lets face it, a true friend wont go after the guy you told her you liked. So Ran is actually the most insecure woman in this drama.
Just ranting a little, just a theory...

"Does Ah-jung know she’s waiting?"
LMAO..couldn't agree more. Everyone assumes that she is gonna wait but did she even confirm it? Yeah we know the girl loves Ki Joon but that doesn't mean love requires you to wait around for the idiot to man up &handle his business already while you wait around like an idiot too. If he ain't gonna clean up his mess (in this case Sang Hee's mess) then any girl will get tired of waiting &go. Let him come after her for a change &just say screw it, screw being mr.Nice &tell the other chick "deuces"
Anyways I love Manager Park. She's the only one telling it like it is. She knows Ki Joon is being an idiot so she is laying it in him to "man up, grow some balls &let the trick go already"
Ki Joon love you buddy but seriously you saying that ya'll aint married in the end is just gonna get Ah Jung fired anyways. Noble idiot award goes to Ki Joon but I still love you :)

I love Manager Park's scene too, lol.
What I like most about this week's episodes are different girls calling Ki Joon for the same reason of giving him a much-deserved grilling! Park and Ah Jung over random phone calls, So Ran showing up at his hotel, even Yoon Ju called him a coward to his face... think we're just missing the Aunt's one (coming soon!).
When Ki Joon and manager were in the elevator and Ah Jung walked in, I keep wishing Park was going to give Ki Joon a smack at the back of the head in the privacy of the elevator, after Ah Jung gets off without a word... and then not having to explain why :D

Man!.! thumbs up for manager Park jiyoon for telling Kijoon to grow some spine and tell Yoonju already!
and Yoonju, i can sympathize with her though, the man broke up the engagement b/c of his brother opposition and therefore, you can't really blame her for getting the man back. if you love a person its not easy to let go right away and see him love someone else. im pretty sure some of you experience that. you have that jealous feeling every time you see your ex-boyfriend holding hands with other woman that you feel like you want to get him back!
but then, announcing that your getting married to him without telling the groom was too much.

This is seems to be the site to bash Lie To Me, but I won't do that because I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It's light and has cute and romantic moments.
Some other shows just have too much cute moments that it seems that they are really just watching the drama for the funny not really the story....
This one, I'm watching for the OTP and now the story.....

June 7, 2011 at 4:13 PM
I wouldn't so much say bash..rather frustration? I mean, the whole premise of the show was suppose to be about "contract" relationship/marriage depicted from accidental lies and rumours. Fun premise right? But thanks to the writer, we're sold on nothing.. the turning point of this drama has nothing to do with the original concept, the "lie" itself does not hold the plot together.
I mean, I don't want to nitpick everything, I love rom com dramas as any girl (though I'm an avid K-drama fanatic >_>) but I do require my dramas to have solid writing and plot. At first I used to get easily (and cheaply) sold on leading (handsome, yummy) heroes and pretty cast with lots of chemistry, but episode after episode you'll realise these episodes are useless if they don't have solid writers. Its the reason I've recently stopped watching My Princess, Playful Kiss, I am Legend etc etc.

Actually more recent example would be Baby Faced Beauty, after 4th episode I wanted to bang my head in fustration. 1st episode was good, I was immediately attached to it but by 3rd, I felt like releasing my frustration on the wall. Dear Mr BFB Writer, we understand Jang Nara's pitiful character, seriouly we do. But could you please move the story on? The fear of exposure of the "Lie" prevents the story from move on and developing, its annoying when it happens in every episode I've seen so far =_=;
/ends pointless rant. lol.

June 7, 2011 at 5:41 PM
BFB turned itself around pretty well. I was like you, absolutely frustrated with the spineless So Yeon. But the story is developing quite nicely. The lie was a little dragged out, but understandably so because SY has to keep lying in order to make her short-term goal come true. After it came true, it was exposed and SY's character grew because of it, her wrong doing is something she has to overcome now, and it even spurred the story on to the redemption premise. The romantic relationships took on another dynamic too with their age difference now "reversed."

I was about to respond to this comment earlier, but I guess Appie wrote pretty much exactly what I had in mind. It's not bashing, it's expressing an opinion. And seems that the more LTM progresses, more of us viewers are realizing that the story has nothing to offer besides a handsome cast being dragged into this dreckitude of a drama. Oh, and a few very hot, food-named kisses.
I too, am frustrated about LTM. I'm not forced to keep watching, sure, and I'm not the kind who sticks because of the hot actor I lust over, but I truly enjoyed the first 6 eps so I keep watching waiting for...a miracle to save the plot at this point I guess... :(

i think i'm the same with you. I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW. probably because I'm in love with YEH (one of my favorite actresses). but most likely because i haven't seen enough dramas (at least constantly enough) to notice the bad writing, or story development.
However, i do roll my eyes at some occasions...like "didn't they JUST have this problem?!" -__-
but i DISAGREE with the comment saying this drama is WORSE than 'mary stayed out all night.' That drama was just... when mary got kidnapped, i was just like, "what am i watching."
but yeah. the chemistry between the two lead here is flamin'. seriously, more fan service thanks.

LTM wasting the OTP talent.

June 12, 2011 at 9:55 PM
I was disappointed with MSOAN, but i feel that atleast in that drama, I could see why the characters liked each other or saw the development of a "relationship", no matter how silly the plot became.
In LTM, I don't even see why AJ and KJ even like each other or how they developed a connection. It seems purely physical, like two people just wanting to hook up, like wanting to date and the whole intensity of them liking each other seems so unfounded, even the first kiss with such intensity , where did it come from?
Also, a minor point but wasn't KJ a bit OCD? And why does it seem he's not anymore?
I don't see how SH all of a sudden likes AJ so much when he hasn't even been around AJ in like a few episodes. When she comes into the cafe and sees Yoon Ju and then leaves, SH doesnt even go after her to see whats wrong or makes sure she stays.
This drama keeps making me scratch my head, feeling confused at times, but I don't usually leave dramas in the middle, so I will keep watching, hoping things, like the writing and directing, will change!

YEH and KJH kiss scenes are up there where I place "pretty close to getting me pregnant."

I have a question. Is Kang Ji Hwan a good actor, or is he just hot?
I feel like his acting is quite wooden, and that the expression in his eyes is always the same. I don't mind a subtle acting style (like Jung Il Woo in RoI) but with KJW I'm always too aware that he's acting, and never feel like he IS the character.
He has a massive fan-base so I figure I just have a strange perspective :S Thoughts?

i think he's both - a good actor and good looking actor - its true he looks 'wooden' here but i think its the roles he plays..... have you watched 90 days time to love? it's been a while since i watched it but i thought his acting was very natural and not 'wooden' at all (obviously i'm a huge fan of KJH!) :)

Try watching Hong Gil Dong . I swear that guy just carried that whole show. (Or it may be that Jang Geun Suk was so terrible in it that KJH ended up looking amazing.)
Maybe good writing (HGD was Hong sisters) elevates his acting skills?

Agree here! I'm watching Gil Dong as a side drama, and he's pretty good as the childlike Robin Hood-esque thief! I'm sure it's the character in LTM that, since has nothing going on, is portrayed that stiff. I mean, so far we know almost nothing about Ki Joon as a person, what he thinks or feel, nothing!! He's an empty character that stares with the same expression and Kang Ji Hwan seems to be doing the best he can on this one...

June 7, 2011 at 8:24 PM
Hong Gil Dong is a good idea. It's the only Hong Sisters drama I haven't watched yet, but I always hear mixed thoughts on the ending, and although I have no idea what happens, I've been too scared to watch it!
Capital Scandal has been on my "to watch list" for a while too, so I guess I can KJW it up.
I liked him okay in Coffee House, where I think his "blank eyes" worked well with his crazy character. I don't mind characters that aren't overtly emotional (like his character in LTM) but I don't feel like he pulls it off too convincingly.
I AM picky about actors though. I have a hard time watching Pirates of the Caribbean because Orlando Bloom flares his nostrils too much and Keira Knightly never stops posing her lips. Hopefully KJW wins me over!

Dude... same thoughts... he's super wooden to me, and i kind of keep sinking into thinking he's the cold chaebol character... and then he'll do something weird/undignified/cute and i'll be like huuuh? because it's seems really out of character for how he is 90% of the time.
(I don't know why it bothers me so much, but the flashback scene where YJ shows him her wedding ring on the roof and they're laughing and hugging for about 100 years too long is just extremely off-putting to me...he looks so fake, and they're laughs are unnatural...)

Sorry to hear that Tamtam. There are other dramas out there which may catch your fancy.
If you're in period - try Dong Yi or SKK.
Or 49 days, Secret Garden.
Or Winter Sonata ( A Bae Yoon Jung/ Choi Ji Won tandem), which I've considered THE drama no one should miss).
A truly good one, great acting and a good storyline is:
SPRING DAYS. Made in 2005, 3 great actors were in it - including newly released from Military duty - Jo In Seung.
Enjoy!
