I think I finally can maybe/sorta understand the set-up and execution of Lie to Me. It’s a story told in reverse, with our OTP getting “married” first before even knowing each other. From that premise, it naturally turns the tables on courtship and attraction. So the first declaration that Ki Joon likes Ah Jung comes not in the form of … Continue reading →
[SBS is releasing official spoilers pictures, which are added at the end of this post as new ones get released] We’re like T-minus 18 hours away from episode 11 of Lie to Me, and still no written or video previews have surfaced. I found myself subconsciously gnawing on my right arm like a beaver to relieve some tension, and then realized I … Continue reading →
So, yeah, I haz got the playground a new website design. Thumbs up or down? I definitely know we’ll all be giving a gigantic thumbs down (and maybe a certain finger) at SBS for being even stingier this week than last week in terms of the previews for the upcoming episodes of Lie to Me. I know some people are … Continue reading →
If Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye don’t want me to blow a fuse in my shippy brain, they need to stop looking at each other the way they look at each other in BTS photos and videos of Lie to Me. It’s not good for my mental health, and I’ve pretty much lost all ability to discern the … Continue reading →
I hate recapping even episodes of Lie to Me, because it’s a stark reminder that another long week of waiting is ahead. Unlike the ending to episode 8, which was truly an outstanding cliffhanger moment that spawned so many conjectures of what’s to come, episode 10 is less climactic. The drama is now all about the how and not the … Continue reading →
First off, the recap proper for Lie to Me episode 10 will be late today, cuz my baby boy Koala is graduating from Kindergarten so imma be busy with real life stuff. Might as well tell Best Love fans that tomorrow’s BL recap will also be late cuz my baby girl Koala is graduating from pre-school. Dayum they grow up so … Continue reading →
Good gracious, did the writer of Lie to Me have an epiphany today? Or maybe she got replaced by a writer with a bone-deep understanding of narrative drive and character consistency? Whatever the reason, episode 9 of LTM was DAEBAK from start to finish. It felt like a whole new drama. Not that I didn’t already love LTM to pieces, … Continue reading →
One of the most interminable weeks of our lives is finally over, and Lie to Me episode 9 is either going to make or break our insatiable craving for this drama. Will the drama go downhill? Will people refuse to admit the truth or talk to each other? Will Koala want to grab her pitchfork or will Koala grab Ki Joon for a … Continue reading →
LOL, I feel like I’m entertaining a mob of bloodthirsty pitchfork wielding protectors of Ah Jung. Which I’m all for, don’t get me wrong. Though right now Ki Joon deserves a slap at most, so everyone put down your sharp pointy weapons. I’ll explain briefly at the end of this post where I think the writer should take Lie to … Continue reading →
The video preview for episode 9 of Lie to Me is out. I have to run but wanted to quickly post it. Spazz away. Just so you know, I’ve dug a huge-ass hole in my backyard, and when I come back I am going to toss Hyun Ki Joon in it. Man be pissing me OFF.
Continue reading →Okay, I’m not going to add a new post anytime there are new spoiler pictures released for this week’s Lie to Me (episodes 9 and 10). As such, I’ll add an edit note on top of this post with a time stamp anytime I get any new updates. Capish? But if the video preview comes out I’ll make a new … Continue reading →
Since I started watching K-dramas, this might be the third time I’m living through a bona-fide online K-drama watching phenomenon. The first was Boys Before Flowers in early 2009. Next came You’re Beautiful in late 2009. A few dramas got really close to be a drama crack craze, such as Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Secret Garden. Some just had a good-sized and devoted … Continue reading →
Anything, something, is better than nothing, right? SBS released written previews for both episode 9 and 10, so we get a double dose of Lie to Me upcoming angst to whet our appetites. Unless the written previews say: Ki Joon gets on his knees and gets forgiveness, bitchslapping Yoon Joo a few times for good measure, and then Ki Joon … Continue reading →
