Don't Lie To Your Lover (2020)

Toute la vérité ? Rien que la vérité ?

Le plot est intrigant : la rencontre, puis la relation, enfin la romance entre un architecte (rigide) détestant le mensonge, et son assistante (pauvre mais chaleureuse, généreuse, pure.... et menteuse). Elle ment, pas pour tromper, mais parce qu'elle ne veut pas blesser les gens, manque de confiance en elle, ne sait pas dire NON.

Ce CL est excellent. Ils sont beaux, talentueux et développent à l'écran une réelle alchimie. Leurs moments cute, de tendresse, sont vraiment ce qui maintient tout l'intérêt du drama.
En effet, quelque soit le mérite des acteurs, les personnages secondaires manquent d'intérêt ou de cohérence :
- la partenaire (love triangle) passe abruptement du comportement de "meilleure amie+ partenaire compétente" à "la peste acharnée prête à toutes les magouilles", puis à la "traitresse qui veut se venger d'avoir été éconduite" , pour revenir (en une 1/2 journée) au droit chemin et au repentir... Crédible , NON !
- le SML qui veut se venger d'une faute +/- imaginaire commise par son meilleur ami 13 ans plus tôt. La psychologie de ce personnage est confuse, complexe, pas très crédible. Je plains l'acteur qui a dû interpréter ce personnages.
- Le CL2, très cliché, entre l'amie intrépide et le jeune stagiaire (carrément puéril :( )
Etc.

Les obstacles sont assez banals : rivalités entre firmes, plagiat, harcèlement... Heureusement on échappe au "white truck of doom" et à l'amnésie :)

Le ton est léger. Les OST sont bonnes. Cependant, la narration est assez lente, s'attardant parfois longuement sur des scènes/personnages inutiles ou sans intérêt.

Conclusion : de très bons acteurs, un CL très mignon, mais une histoire mal écrite.
Morale de l'histoire ; le monde n'est pas noir ou blanc. Tout est +/- gris...

MALE CEO WHO HATE LIES MEETS MISS LIE

Updated!! watching it in 2023. Romance 10/10 , annoying characters 10/10, last few episode dropped the rating from 9.5 to 8.5. Those side characters are way too annoying, and the fact that the male lead got mad at her...


I enjoyed this drama for the most part, up until the end, the end kinda ended abrupt ( will talk about it later)

Story: Male CEO absolutely hates people to lie, so he insist on tell the truth all the time which sometimes truth can hurt. Female lead is the opposite, she likes to tell more white lies. ( male lead had an traumatic encounter with a lie and vow to never lie again) The two meet after the male lead exposed her cheating bf and also made her lose her job. She ends up applying to the male lead company. They start off on the wrong foot, because he is finding that she always lies. The female lead helps the male lead talk and try to get clients for his architect company. Slowly the two fall in love, and his truthfulness starts to change her, and her white lies start to change him. She also helps heal the male lead and second male lead's broken friendship.

The female lead doesn't lie to hurt people , but she does white lies because she doesn't want to hurt her family, but also because she is scared to face the truth. With the help of the male lead, he encourages her to be herself and not to be scared or think she is a small potato. Through her struggles , the male lead sees that not all lies are bad.

Romance: this was one pair that was oozing with chemistry. every kiss was very cute and passionate ;) The way the male lead expresses his love for her is a little too much for my heart to handle. ( heart flutters) Seriously loved all the scenes.
I kinda skipped over the second male/female pairing love story lol not at interesting to me .

Annoying character: there was one lol , the female partner who liked the male ceo. Doing too much tio try to ruin the leads relationship. Please dont be a b....

Ending: not going to spoil it, but i felt like it could of wrapped it up better. I felt there was some unnesscary/ didnt make sense plot development towards the end.

Overall: I really liked the meaning and messages behind the story. its not bad as other review said. Also cute female lead, hot male lead, nice chemistry too.
