This Monday was the premiere of My Lovely Liar (Korean title Useless Lies) on tvN with the time slot being lower in ratings compared to the more high profile Sat-Sun drama slot. The first episode got 2.589% which still is lower than its predecessor Delightfully Deceitful got which was 4.551%. The reviews are mixed but nothing too strong either way. Kim So Hyun has uniformly good feedback for her acting but Minhyun was mostly thought of as not strong enough in both his dialogue and his performance. The chemistry though seems to be there but there were also complaints about the first episode being slow and draggy. Like I said, a mixed bad with the good and bad reviews kinda neutralizing each other. I haven’t started watching yet as I’m sorta lost somewhere hopefully not forever and can resume other drama watching soon lol.

It’s clear following My Lovely Girl from the very beginning that this screenwriter was interested in manufacturing a narrative platform around the world of Korean music entertainment and song producing. I can’t feel anything organic to the story that was … Continue reading
I don’t hate My Lovely Girl because that’s too strong a feeling for a drama so utterly incompetent. It’s basically handicapped and hating on the weak is not a particularly decent thing to do. At this point I think the … Continue reading
My Lovely Girl jumped the shark with episode 12. Maybe SBS did the drama a favor by preempting an episode last week so the end of this episode isn’t what the audience holds onto for an entire week. Tomorrow we’ll see … Continue reading
I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through the remaining 5 episodes of My Lovely Girl. There will indeed be five more episodes as SBS has confirmed that the drama is ending on schedule next week but next … Continue reading
I’m tempted to send a trans-Pacific holler to the screenwriter for My Lovely Girl and ask the lady if she’s gone mad? Sure she’s written some middle-of-the-road fare like Can We Love, Dr. Champ, and Scent of a Woman, but … Continue reading
Even Shi Woo’s dippy new hat-and-bowl cut look can’t dim my affection for him. He’s officially my favorite character in My Lovely Girl, and with his story line this drama rises and falls on the only interesting aspect remaining. This … Continue reading
My Lovely Girl is headed towards it’s finale stretch and still the drama delivers only the feeling of “that’s it?” whenever the end of an episode rolls around. Oddly I can’t pinpoint exactly where things are being dulled down, much … Continue reading
This episode of My Lovely Girl was so static that the bore factor went through the roof. The entire episode was spent on Hyun Wook and Se Na pining for each other without anything else of importance happening. The only … Continue reading
