Lie To Me: Episode 12 Open Thread

EPISODE 12 WEECAP

At the Jeju resort, Jae-bum arrives to declare himself lost without So-ran, who’s moved by his admission that her departure sparked suicidal thoughts. Peas in a pod, these two. They think they’re Ike and Tina, but they’re really Spencer and Heidi.

Lurky Yoon-ju calls Ah-jung for a drink and tells her all about why she broke up with Ki-joon the first time and asks if Ah-jung knows what it feels like to have your first love stolen from you by another woman. Oh god, are they really going this route to make Ah-jung feel bad? Okay then.

Ki-joon comes clean about his marriage lie (again) to Chairman Chen, only this time he believes him. Chen walks out of the deal and starts chatting up Great Hotel instead, and this is our Big Conflict for the rest of the hour. Yeah, it’s just as exciting as it sounds.

In cuter news, Ki-joon and Ah-jung start dating like a real couple and he calls them a needle and thread, which might be a cuter metaphor if one of those things weren’t stabby. They do coupley things that go duly noted by a sulky Sang-hee and a bitter Yoon-ju, but at least the former is more mature than the latter and tells her to Let. Go. Already. Dammit. So the older brother got the brains, and the younger brother got the balls?

Ki-joon finally musters the wherewithal to cut ties with Yoon-ju, explaining things in terms of Fate. Because of Fate, he loved someone he shouldn’t have loved, and had to break up with someone he couldn’t bear to break up with. So Fate is doing shit you don’t like? He tells Yoon-ju it’s her turn (to obey Fate, or do shit she doesn’t like, same diff), and declares that he loves Ah-jung. Ooh! And also, errr what? This couple is totally trying to sell the love angle, although I’m only seeing lust. Not that lust is bad. Kang Ji-hwan and lust? I am there. It’s just…let’s call it what it is, shall we?

Ki-joon surprises Ah-jung at home with a meet-the-dad ambush, which are two terms you’d think he’d be wary of putting together. Dad sizes up the boyfriend in the traditional Korean way: Drinky duel! Shots, glasses, and bowls of soju later, both men pass out and then insist they won in the morning.

Now it’s Aunt’s turn to change her mind (again) and push Ki-joon towards Yoon-ju, ’cause conveniently, her congressman stepdad happens to be chummy with Chairman Chen, and they need his association to save the hotel. Aunt is totally giving me whiplash — I like Yoon-ju! You can’t marry her! Wait, never mind! I’m not telling you to marry, just get in good with her! This is business, not personal!

The stress of hearbreak sends Yoon-ju to the hospital, because this writer has been watching way too much Sam-soon and thinks this is adequate conflict. Aunt orders Ki-joon to her bedside, and he goes, but she thinks he doesn’t, and gets all pissy.

Ah-jung is put in charge of a tourism event/traditional cultural performance which is selling poorly, then all of a sudden sold out. She’s proud of herself until she sees Ki-joon sitting there in a mostly-empty theater, and guesses he intervened. Bicker, bicker, make up.

Aunt gives Ki-joon one last chance to get in good with Yoon-ju’s stepdad and sets up a dinner. Ah-jung’s feeling crappy because her boss has found out about her marriage lie and warns her not to mess up again. So Ki-joon’s big decision: Business or love? Ah-jung or Yoon-ju?

We’re not really surprised by his choice, are we?

"since Coffee Prince"

She means dramas after CP. Goong was before CP. And she wasn't bad in Goong, but she wasn't that good either. *ducks for cover*

Required fields are marked *

Goong was in 2006. :) Coffee Prince is more recent (if you can still call it that) since it was in 2007.

I agree with Aiden that YEH hasn't made anything great since CP. I even watched her most recent movie, My Black Mini Dress, and thought it was horrible.

Note that I am not criticizing her acting, which I didn't think was bad when she started, and which has steadily improved. But the dramas and movies she chooses.. oof.

Lucky her though, I believe she's still the highest paid Korean actress and still reigns as a CF queen -- all due to Coffee Prince. Because no matter how bad the drama, she still manages to pull in solid ratings, which is what really matters to the networks.

OMG yes, I'm not a hater, but My Black Minidress was the worst Korean movie I've watched in the last 2 years! :(

I totally agree with you! CP was her last saviour, everything after that was..well ..sortofacceptable?

And I also agree with you about My Black Mini Dress, it was one of the most anticipated movie on my to-watch list, and it was so disappointing! Much as I love YEH, I hated her character, I just couldn't connect with her. I have to blame the scriptwriter & director, story had no meaning, characters were annoying than appealing, awkward resolution in the end, it so horrible I can go on and on!

Omg can't believe YEH's recent projects is wasting her away T__T

0

Let's face it, unless you were/are a pre-teen girl, "GOONG" wasn't that good either.

"CP" is the only quality drama that YEH has done and not surprisingly, her acting was the best in "CP" (really helps to have a great script as well as a good PD who got the best out of YEH).

Have to say, YEH's acting in "LTM" hasn't been that great either (and I've liked YEH since her "X-Man" days).

While loyalty is admirable, it was a mistake for YEH to have been loyal to a production company that couldn't provide her with at least a decent script (I'm lowering the bar from good, since good scripts are hard to come by).

Yeah, I started to watch "My Black Mini Dress", but it was simply AWFUL (good to hear I didn't miss anything by stopping).

I don't know, maybe YEH needs to get different management; one that is more adept at picking quality projects.

She can't ride the positive lift from "CP" forever; she's going to need another hit soon.

My understanding is that YEH has been under management by The House Company since September, 2008, and YEH owns that management company. This is just a guess, but I think YEH has final say on choosing her projects and unfortunately, no one in the management company can stop her bad choices.

0

Agreed. I watched Goong a couple years after all the hype because I didn't want to expect too much out of it. It was just okay. Not great.

And she really can't ride CP forever, people are going to start realizing that her shows aren't that great.

I don't think her acting is terrible it's the whole storyline and cliche lines that suck

Btw, instead of watching "MBMD", I highly recommend the 2003 film "Singles" starring Jang Jin-young (who was totally awesome in it).

MTE! I thought this would be decent to watch you know since there is at least KJH but noooooo, so disappointed.

@ Koala
Have you visited DB LTM open thread lately? There are so many antis and haters in that thread expressing how they hate and yadayadayada. The keep on bashing and ranting about the show for its flaws (which EVERYONE already knows) like a broken tape recorder. I know that the thread is to rant and rave but its more like the thread is for the haters to congregate to make fun of LTM. Even the weecapers are sarcastic and sometimes down right insulting when they weecap each epsiodes. It really dampen my mood whenever I go and show my support for the show. I know everyone is entitled to say their opinion but sometimes its just too much

@ Koala
wish the weecapers over at DB had just dropped the show instead of wecapping it in such a disrespecful way. I clearly know they have the right to express their feelings, but one thing wrong with that is how it influences those who don’t have a mind of their own. So, theey fall in line and criticize a show that isn’t even the worst show out there. The show clearly has issues, but I have never watched a show or read a novel to experience real life. I want to feel good in a silly and fun way and LTM gives that to me. If you don’t like it, don’t watch and simply keep your negative opinions to yourself, that’s what I believe. It trully breaks my heart to read DB weecap of LTM and the comments that follows. They don’t realize how they influence others. I respect DB for their work, but I wish they will refrain from continuing with works they clearly have no interest in and leave it for those who will give it the heart it deserves.

@ Koala
I don’t visit DB site anymore even when they started an open thread. The thing I don’t understand is why people hate watching LTM and yet they spend time watching it, just to criticize it, or bashing YEH? I’m for one who if I don’t like a particular drama, I don’t even waste my time watching it and then spend effortless hours bashing it. Don’t these ppl has something better to do?

@ Koala
exactly.. i used to enjoy reading their past drama recaps.. but after all the bash-LTM-weecaps.. it’s kinda painful to go visit that site anymore.. it’s as if it’s only catering to LTM-haters..since they were kind enough to ‘consider’ LTM fans by not completely ‘dropping’ it.. then they should have been considerate ‘enough’ to write objectively.. since it is read by pro&anti LTM…if a first time drama viewer goes over there and read the weecaps.. they probably wouldn’t want to even TRY watching the first episodes… i should know, coz I sometimes try out new dramas based on its recaps.. it’s not at all done objectively.. just way too much sarcasm sugar coated with humor.

@ Koala
Im on the same boat with all of you.. DB just post the weecap just to vent her frustrations in LTM and that post create an anti fan for LTM..Those people who dont have their own mind and just agree to whatever DB negative comments are so disappointing…For me,if you dont want it, dont watch it…and dont make a recap or a stupid full of negative and low blow weecap…

@HATERZ-CAN-SUCK-IT!!!!!!!!!!

My Dear Friend!

This time I am going have to take OKoala's side.... You may not know but OKoala is an "Old timer," around this blog and even tough you are not implying that OKoala is the instigator, the way you construct your post it implys that, she may be in to the bashing of Dramabeans, along with her fans.

In the same way that JB and GF do not have control over the minds of the people that post in their blog, Okoala has no control of what people post in her Blog, so I will be the first to give her the benefit of doubt.

She also has been a guest blogger her at Dramabeans, and she is very well like by JB and GF and a lot of folks here.

I do hope that your post was not intended to Okoala down, but I do understand that people have different opinions, and in public forums feelings do get hurt, but I will be the last to blame her for what other people write in her blog.

P.S My intention was not offend you at all.... : 0 }

Thank you for your kind reply, however I must disagree with one of your points. Although Ockoala may not be verbally bashing JB and GF like her fanbase, she does not make an effort to cease the negative comments directed towards DB. Her evident inclination to ignore these kind of posts neither encourages nor discourages ppl from making such comments. However, in my honest opinion, her indifference indirectly adds fuel to the fire.

I read one of Ockoala's LTM recaps some episodes back and she did comment on this matter and urged the LTM fanbase to be reasonable and not take the "criticisms" in DB to heart. So she has not been indifferent to the issue, contrary to what you have observed.

Like most people here, I have been following LTM mainly because of the awesome chemistry between YEH and KJW. Plus YEH is one of my favorite Korean actresses.

@Amg1 - totally agree with you. It's best if we leave other sites out of the story. Everyone is free to have an opinion. We are of no standing to judge who's right or wrong. I love Ockoala's recap as much as I love JB and GF. Thus, I hope @HATERZ-CAN-SUCK-IT can respect every individual here and there at Ockoala's.

No offence intended.

I agree, the writer should not waste time weecapping LTM iits just meant to annoy fans with sarcasm. Like many who are still watching & love to hate it... like swallowing ones puke or spilling it out their stink gut.

But there are people who thrive on annoying people, they are those who want to see people miserable.
Some of these haters have contributed to the demise of some showbiz people who have fallen victim to their hate campaign.

I understand that the dramabeans recaps and comments on LTM are problematic for many of LTM's loyal fanbase at other sites, however- the discussions and criticisms are (as far as I know) being kept on the DB site. A site which is completely optional to read. If someone prefers to read positive, supportive posts- then do so.
However, it's not fair to ask the people who differ in opinion to keep their opinions to themselves. Or to suggest that they, as people, are somehow lacking because of their opinions. Disagreement is fair and good. Personal attacks are not.

Let us keep the friendship of LTM brings us. No backstabbing, no negative comments - if you can't stand it just don't watch it, very simple. Maybe there's a reason SBS change the writer, maybe it's time to change it to make it more interesting. I hope both DB and Koala visitors will take it easy. Peace.

I only open DB just to see how far it has streched.. I mean seriously why are you guys still weecaping LTM? I can see you have no passion whatsoever towards this drama, so like, what's your point?

Aforementioned, I can say whatever I like.

If you can stand watching it then dont watch it, people. It's as simple as that.

Going on and on about how much the show sucks and dissapoints you? Well, look for other shows to watch or even better produce your own drama tv show!

LTM is NOT the worst drama series. I have seen worse.

I agree that MSOAN got the nonsensical factor that makes it enjoyable in a MST3K sort of way, but the positives in Lie to Me are 1. the lead actors and 2. characters who at least physically act like adults (though not always mentally or emotionally).

The story is a bit all over the place, so I'm curious abt how the drama will end. At the moment, this episode feels like an episode 14 or 15 sort of episode, so I'm curious abt what will happen...

Technically, yes. In terms of writer's abilities--no.

MSOAN had a seasoned writer/writers sucking together. This has just one writer who is a n00b who doesn't know what they are doing.

The thing is I think they hired KJH and YEH, because they are known for being good at turning around crappy scripts and making them at least watchable. (Exhibition of Fireworks. for example)

Writing-wise, this is worse, but waste of talent overall--that goes to MSOAN.

I cry here because I really wanted KJH and YEH to have a good script where they can bring it, but this writer is so afraid of everything that you end up with nothing--there is no follow through. It's a waste of a good cast and crew yet again. I think this proves that there is no cast and crew in this world that can rescue a crappy script.

Agreed they should have gone the Idol drama route from the start, just USE the two leads and forget the rest, as much of it only distracts from the reason anyone is watching the drama each week and that is of course the leads. As for the aunt anyone who watch two k-drama could see that coming a mile off. Family before love, business before love, how can a real man give up his career for the sake of a 'mere' girl and so on.

i think ep12 has some improvement too. i was still cringing much throughout ep11 but i really like the cutesy moments in this one. there was some heartfelt tenderness in the hug at the end, although it's totally nonsense that he would choose to run to Ah Joong instead. the chemistry is still holding up. it's still enough to get me going, strangely.

I'm not sure Ike and Tina is such a "glamorous" couple either. Beyonce and Jay-Z would've been a better comparison. JB you're showing your age ;) I keeeeed.

It's when shows like Mary Stayed Out All Night, and in many ways this show, go totally off the map with the dumb and unbelievable plot "twists" like this that give those MadTV parodies of Korean dramas with Bobby Lee some credence.

Whups, the dialogue from MadTV's "drama" got cut out:

I really have a strong dislike for Yoon Ju.
Not in that, 'other-girl' (#2nd leading actress) kind of way but something about her just grates on my nerves.
Like her emotional scenes just aren't emotional. I can see that she's putting on a show. I don't feel that she is a 'real' person with 'real' feelings.

Yeah I know she's a character, but I feel no connection to her.

I agree that the story is already dragging. I want to kick Yoon Ju and Sang He out and just focus on the love birds. They both have big issues.

I also didn't know that they changed writers! All I know is that they changed the director.

Oh well I hope they can still salvage this but hey I LOVE the main characters so I'll keep watching til they give me some HEA!

I am just wondering what they are going to fill the next 4 episode with. Most drama there is a big conflict that's getting built up and it needs to get resolved but I just don't see it here.

Even with the Chairman Chen conflict, it's not really do or die with the deal. Yea it sucks that World hotel might not get the deal but really?? It's not like the hotel is in danger of going under.

And let's say KJ's aunt throws him out, it's not like there was some scheming back-up that could take over the hotel. So I just don't see how in the end his Aunt coculd really replace him

The Sanghee and Yoonju angle at this point is basically a joke, I can't think of any big thing they could do at this point to jeopardize the couple.

So the question to the new writers is can they create a believable new conflict/angst in 4 episodes?? I hope so!

Can't wait till next week!

I'm preferring to think of LTM as a throw-back to early Hallyu romcoms (like the ones with Jung Da Bin [RIP]) where a lot of the conflict is so trite and contrived but you still really need to know how it resolves itself. It's nostalgic that way.

But I still do think they need to up the stakes on the hotel thing. Maybe have Sang Hee as a successor-rival a la Lovers in Paris? Because the whole suck-up-to-Yoon-Joo thing is what drove me batty in those romcoms (you know, male lead being forced to be with second lead because of "it's for the good of the business").

Wow, that totally makes sense that the writers/director got changed. There were a lot of silly moments in this drama, and the last ep that I watched (ep 11) was completely beyond unrealistic. At this point, I only hope the story gets better b/c currently I'm definitely not watching for the plot!

So the storyline is more a sad circling story circle, round and round again? It's painful reading the plot "progression" in the weecaps alone; I don't know how many of you manage to devote two hours weekly to this. Mad devotion I surmise for YEH and/or KJH. Or maybe it's for the same reason I still read the weecaps... the rubbernecking phenomenon... can't.. tear.. eyes.. away..

Substance-wise, I feel like there was only enough material for a 2-episode special, if that.

I read somewhere E13-E14 will be the cheesy topping every romantic is hungry for. Hmm~ I'm kinda craving cheesy pizza right now if it amounts to anything.

This episode is about KJ growing bigger balls proportion it to the size of his brain. Or, if you'd rather prefer an idea SH is shrinking his balls and growing more grey matter. Which ever floats your boat.

Dang, Santa Claus has left the building! Maybe such topics like balls and brains best be avoided by such a machismo as St. Nick.

I planned on baking cookies and share my nieces' milk for Santa's next weecap, however I guess he got the memo I'm not much of a baker, more of a lover.

*ducks and cover* Mrs. Claus might bring her whole posse to kick my arse very soon for indecent proposals. Don't kill the chef! I can't bake, yet I make crazy good pho and some.

Seriously, why is everyone bagging on the drama and those of us who do like the Drama so much? I'm not even certain half of these people have even watched it. I know OT is an outlet and we're all sorts of frustrated with the Drama's shortcomings, but geezzzz, do you just sit and whine and complain and hate all the time? If you don't like it-fine, no one's forcing you to like it. But why do you feel the need or the entitlement to put Liars down for liking it?

You have as much right to express your love for Lie to Me here as any other commenter has to express their frustrations with the drama. One comment about why they think the drama sucks doesn't mean they 'sit and whine and complain and hate all the time'.

I don't think javabeans is twisting the plot so if people comment on how ridiculous and cliched it sounds, their criticisms are valid.

Why waste your time, if you don't like it why bother? Aren't they contradicting their own selves.

It's simple. Because there are those of us who haven't given up yet, and am disappointed every time we got our hopes up by the few relatively "good" episodes. Not everyone sees things in black and white. I think it's safe to say this drama falls in the gray area. I have defended this drama a couple of times, at last it completely bombed on me the last two episode.

I can speak for those of us who like some aspects of LTM, but are finding that the negative outweighs the positive. That's why whenever the drama didn't deliver, we voice out our disappointment. It's like when your fav go-to restaurant changed their recipes 50 different times. Ya feel me?

Oh, I totally feel you. I still love watching it because it's still well, really watchable (kudos to YEH and KJH). It's not yet a total trainwreck and I'm saying this because I watched every. single. episode of My Fair Lady and gah, that was really painful.

I'm really hoping that when all THIS dies down and we're few months along the line, I can rewatch it and go "Hey, this is really fun!" like I did at the beginning. Imma save this up for when the melo-season starts (autumn? winter?).
