Why Are You Watching Lie to Me?

• Really. Since I started viewing dramas maybe it Pinoy, Korean and taiwanese. This is my first time that I am anticipating what will happen to the lead stars after every episode. Suprisingly, I have been looking for every site for previews, Thanks Koala.

  • Completely agree with you! I think LTM is the perfect cure for spoiler-phobia. :D

• Because the OTP is INSANE. The kind you want to happen in real-life insane.

  Plus, the characters, even with their own personal quirks and such, act like I would have. Heck, even what I say in my head becomes a line of dialog. Which makes me wonder sometimes if there is some sort of psychic bond they have with us pitiful fools.

  I'd go on, but I don't know how to explain drooling and staring (LIKING drooling and staring just sounds... wrong). :)

• one name, 3 syllables.

  Yoon Eun Hye

  • I totally agree mate.. I love her on screen!! she just rocks it, in every scene!! :) also, her chemistry with KH is good!! It makes it so much better to watch!!

  • Love your witty and unpretentious response! Very well-put!

  • love ur comment...

    thank you!!!

    Yoon Eun Hye all the way

  • Love your witty and unpretentious response!!!

    YEH, as DB describes her is a veritable DRAWING MAGNET!

    • there really is nowhere id rather be when YEH is on the screen and nothing else id rather do than watch her act her guts out. Episode 8 sealed the deal for me tbh.

• Hey Koala...

  Thanks for the article... I love LTM and I am glad to see ur article. I find LTM fresh and humorous - tbh, i think its the acting that makes me want to watch it .. .I lauch like crazy whilst watching it..
  There have been alot of shows which are very famous, popular and hit which I cant bear to watch again!! But LTM is amongst those shows that are, simply put, fun!! :)

  Also, i like the pace of the show - its not too slow or too fast - the only episode that annoyed me was the one where she was looking for a house to do the party and it was obvious that she would land up in his house.. other than that - i am curious to know how the story will pan out ... and i cant wait for it!! :)

  Am glad to know that the ratings are good.. Hope the wirters keep the momentum going for the last 8 episodes!!

  Thanks for your lovelly post. I enjoyed reading it. Post more of your thoughts as well!! ;)

• It's so simple and straightforward.... it's because of KJH and YEH!!!

  • I second that!

    • i third that! :)

    • i fourth and fifth and sixth that!!! ^ o ^

• hmm, thats hard!! I wasn't that enthusiastic about LTM when it first started but then the chemistry between the two leads just began to sizzle and before i know it... I was hooked!! I love the sometimes playfulness of ki joon and ah jung and sang hee although he has been mood lately. I just hope that this drama doesn't drag out the conflict too long and ki joon gets his head on straight or else i might need to have to give him a good talking too!! >.< I think i will continue to suffer until tuesday and this episode comes out with subtitles, although i will undoubtedly resort to watching it without them, although i dont understand a word of korean, if the waiting becomes unbearable!! Moooooonnnnddaaayyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I don't know why I'm checking every available site every 2 hrs for some news, any news about LTM; not even during Joseon crack was I like this and I was majorly addicted to Sungkyungkwan Scandal, but I was able to function somewhat on the days when SKKS wasn't airing. Truthfully, LTM's storyline isn't the most original and the writing is subpar, but the reason I tune in every Mon /Tues is to see Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan's chemistry. How is it possible that two people can see so well suited for each other? I think I'm going to need for them to date in real life and settle down with cute babies and I say this without an ounce of jealously or hatin', that is how much I like these two.

• First I watch this drama because the leads are my favorite actors in Kdrama...n after I watch the drama I become addicted to their chemistry n their charming...I don't see AJ n KJ here but I see YEH n KJH love's life ^.^ this is the first time watching drama that making me crazy all the time...

  • I agree with u

• it's entertaining and the leads looks so good together. when YEH cries, you can really feel her pain and when she laughs , you laugh with her too. she totally captivates you.

• well...as u said before, so I would say "I've breathing this week with LTM"
  For me:
  1. YEH & KJH really great being in one drama together (esp. the kissing, hohoho)
  2. The story...at 1st I would say we could predict where would it go...but after ep 8...there are so many storyline we could matching on it, so it makes me really curious where it would go
  3. last but not least is... I always love to see the guy would chasing after, struggle, and become 'lil crazy also childish to get the girl (like in SG). In LTM cases I really hope it would happen in next epi.

  Maybe if I take my no. 3 reason, someone would say I also have to love seeing Best Love, but I don't know why LTM is much more attract me then BL (however I also like BL)

  • Honestly, while I do enjoy the drama and like the OTP immensely, I really don't see why it's SO popular, so I'm glad you addressed the topic Koala (as I am in some severe need of clarification). I liked it in the first couple of episodes, but it just doesn't have the same emotional pull for me as, for example, Best Love. I do like how the story's at a huge climax now following the, (as m2 you kind of say yourself) quite boring/ predictable nature of the first 7 episodes. But apart from that, I found the kisses kind of, oh I dunno, sort of TOTALLY RANDOM. I get that they were in the whole moment of the thing and everything, but still, people, demonstrate some self-control! Your relationship is not developed enough (as can be seen with HGJ's choosing of the ex-fiance over AJ) for two make-out sessions! (Not that they weren't nice). And so, up until perhaps Ep 8, I really didn't get why everyone was so hooked on this drama. It's only now that it's getting good... (And I mean, 1st on Mysoju? Really?! How the heck is Best Love at no 7 in comparison!?! >.<) Oh and btw, "lil crazy and also childish" is like Dokko Jin's middle name!! :D

    • I know there have been a lot of issues with LTM, and to be perfectly honest initially I didn’t even see the chemistry between the main leads, in fact I though Ah Jung & Sang Hee had a far more intense attraction – but that all started to change by episode 6’s dinner. Did you see the preview of the 2 school kids featured at the ending credits of Ep 8, they are Ah Jung & Ki Joon – as per their name tags. Given the little tidbit of the 2 kids, I’m beginning to understand why in episode 6 Ki Joon stared at Ah Jung so intensely when they talk about her history. Why Ki Joon the uber stick in the mud, becomes so attracted to her that he throws down everything and kisses a chick he barley knows in front of a bunch of strangers, even though he’s still kinda inlove with his ex-girl. And here is the revel … its because she and him are the same, da da da! They both lost their parents when they were young; they both took on a lot of responsibilities early, Ki Joon more so than Ah Jung (He’s like Sang Hee’s father and she was kinda like a little mother). However because she still had had her father, she still had some fun. Also they both were very focused, hard working and responsible in their youth – and since they share a common history, she gets him and he gets her. Plus with eachother they kind of get to have that childhood they never got to have when they were young – that’s what Ah Jung brings to the table, she’s fun and she make Ki Joon fun too. I got hooked by episode 6 – feels like that’s when the writers woke up and everything started moving … before that I was thinking it was a shame that Ah Jung was falling for Ki Joon, cause she has so much more going on with Sang Hee.

    • PS: Love Best Love, it is a perfect show on every level. It’s just one of those shows that takes its time to sizzle but you know its gonna turn into an inferno. Its rating have steadily been increasing, its only number 7 on Soju now cause it releases before ‘Lie to Me’. Right after it releases it usually in the top 3, then LTM and all the other drama’s with similar release date are uploaded and BL gets moved down. There are a couple of days between BL to LTM releasing, but many days between LTM to BL releasing.

    • Oh okay, I totally thought the little kids were Sang-hee and Yoon Joo (on account of the whole childhood friends thing)! Oooh, that makes an interesting plot point. And thank you for clearing up the mysoju-ness! I realise that Lie to Me has a huuuuge internet/ international fanbase (as can be seen here) but I still didn't get how Best Love, with it's really good ratings and the fact that there are like zero faults in its storyline/script/actors/everything, could be so low down on the list, so it makes a whole lotta more sense now! :)

    • oh and, HOW CUTE IS SANG HEE. I was also totally invested in the Sang-line (lol, had to throw in a Best Love reference somewhere ;)) And probably still am I little bit, what with Ki Joon's recent shocking display of bad character.
