When you Lie to Me...I Pronounce You Husband & Wife!

     When is a lie the only way out? ...according to Gong Ah Jung (Yoon Eun Hye); when you've had enough! Not only is she unappreciated at work, has a nonexistent love life, but her first love was taken by her "best" friend Yoo So Ran (Hong Soo Hyun)! (Who Gong Ah Jung has to see on a regular basis! UGH!)

     The only thing that will put Yoo So Ran in her place is if Gong Ah Jung can find an even better husband, not that Yoo So Ran thinks that is even remotely possible(ugh!); but a hero in shining Armani comes into Gong Ah Jung life by the name of Hyun Ki Joon(Kang Ji Hwan)...yum!


1st meeting
     Gong Ah Jung is desperate! She tries to bite her tongue but Yoo So Ran takes pleasure in making Gong Ah Jung miserable and jealous. When she finally backs her up into a tight corner Gong Ah Jung can't take it anymore and bursts out with the biggest lie to shut her up...that she is already married... to Hyun Ki Joon.


The Housewarming Party
      As you can guess all hell breaks loose(HA!) and the comedy flows to every corner of this drama. Gong Ah Jung gets Hyun Ki Joon to help, after some serious negotiations, and assures him that it is all short term.


Surprise Visit
Brother where art thou?
     To make matters worse Hyun Ki Joon's  baby brother Hyun Sang Hee (Sung Joon) is trying to help Gong Ah Jung for his own purposes and is interfering with his brother's would be love life.

     Writers Choi Yoon-Jung and Kim Ye-Ri show that even the biggest lies we tell our loved ones can be forgivable through love, laughter, and trust. 

     Directors KimSu-Ryong and Kwon Hyuk-Chan displayed great talent in scene progressions, close-ups, and holding on to the silence to create a truly spectacular visual feast. Lie to Me is endearing and heartfelt and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
