Lie to Me: Afterthoughts

So, Lie to Me is over and the writer managed not to drop the ball in the end. The show itself was meh at best, which begs the question, did the writer ever really have the ball to begin with?

Obviously, I'm probably being too harsh a critic. Everything can't always be blamed on bad writing and we often use the writer to keep the flak away from our favorite actors. In the case of LTM, the writing was the overarching problem (and it was too late to be fixed by the time they changed writers in Episode 11), delivering a haphazard and clunky plot, but the actors can't all hide behind that.

Lie to Me

 

So, May ushered in the start of a new series from SBS called Lie to Me, which stars Yoon Eun-hye (Coffee Prince, Goong) and Kang Ji-hwan (Coffee House, Fireworks). Owing to the fact that this was YEH's first leading role since the disastrous Take Care of the Young Lady (a.k.a. My Fair Lady), it was highly anticipated. The beautiful star-studded cast wasn't a detriment either. I figured I should weigh in with my two cents before the show ends its run.
