Long story short, I’ve now read the fanfic, and that has changed everything for me. Just as I was gathering my thoughts for this review, DDee posted this interview that she did with mywebfoot, who had written a fanfic, not for the drama’s lead characters Joo Joong Won and Tae Gong Sil, but for the drama’s lead actors, So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin. I did think So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin had good onscreen chemistry though.Īnd I was all poised to write a review detailing everything that I liked and didn’t like so much in this drama. There were a number things that I didn’t like so much, and felt could’ve been better. Much as I heard that many viewers enjoyed this a lot (like, really-really-loved-it a lot), I actually only sorta liked it. See, in a nutshell, Master’s Sun didn’t really do it for me, as a drama. So what does that have to do with Master’s Sun? It was context and perspective that totally changed the game, coz now I had something to tickle my fancy beyond the flimsy, almost non-existent story. But I remember with HD clarity the crackling, through-the-roof chemistry those two shared, and the super-hot, ad-libbed kisses they gave us. If you asked me now what the story in Lie To Me was about, I’d be hard-pressed to tell you, beyond the barest of details. I was glued to the chemistry that Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye brought to the screen though. I didn’t bother any more with the story, coz I’d already determined that that wasn’t going to make much sense. I changed my mind about dropping the show, and proceeded to enjoy the rest of the episodes. That put a whole different spin on things. The game-changer for me was the new knowledge that the two of them had basically ad-libbed a good number of the swooniest couple moments on the show. And yes, I’d noticed that they had excellent onscreen chemistry too. I was on the verge of dropping Lie To Me when I chanced on a whole lot of fandom squee over the chemistry between Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye. One could objectively say that it was a mess of a drama. Like, one moment our male lead Kang Ji Hwan really, really dislikes our female lead Yoon Eun Hye, and the next minute, he’s kissing her. Character motivations were similarly bemusing and felt almost random. Nothing really made proper sense, and plot points were strung together with the flimsiest of excuses.
I remember feeling completely underwhelmed and quite horrified, even, at the lack of cohesion in Lie To Me’s narrative. I know, I totally sound like I’m going off on a crazy tangent. This happened to me once before, when I was watching Lie To Me (2011). Could Ishak be next on the list, or is he the man responsible? Tracking down his more ‘unsavoury’ allies, Serena is shocked to encounter a familiar face: that of her grieving ex-partner, former Malaysian ICD officer Megat Jamil (Bront Palarae).Have you ever had one of those experiences where you were feeling pretty meh about a drama, and then something came along that completely changed the game? As Serena and Heri work together to catch the killer, their inquiries lead them to industrialist/kingpin Datuk Ishak Hassan (Wan Hanafi Su), whose prominent family and known associates all have some connection to the victims. Seeking answers, Heri finds a way to insert himself into the Malaysian investigation. Meanwhile, in Jakarta, for ICD Lieutenant Heriyanto Salim (Ario Bayu), the case turns personal when his brother is found murdered in similar circumstances. Called in to investigate, Singaporean International Crimes Division (ICD) officer Serena Teo (Rebecca Lim) takes charge of a case across the border where a family has been slaughtered aboard a luxury yacht in Johor.
