Okay, let me catch up on the last 4 episodes (I've had to put my K drama obsession on standby briefly) and I'll comment more in depth. But from the few bits that popped up on my social media feeds and what I've read on Dramabeans (and on many many Beanies' walls), I feel you are truly onto something here:
I did enjoy this too, same as you. Sure, Deuk-Chan's character should have been done better, the writers tried to wrap up all the characters' development in one episode which to me was unnecessary. Eom Ji couls have stayed obsessive, Solhee's parents could just continue to be estranged. I started this because of the murder mystery in the first place as I wanted to find out what happened, and I think it is interesting that they tried to tackle the truth vs. lie paradox here. If this had been just a fluffy romance then I would have walked away, but still, I did enjoy the OTP's sweetness and how their relationship was shown - clearly they are right for each other.
I cannot believe I watched the last two episodes of this. What did I think was going to happen--that I would continue to suspend disbelief and somehow compartmentalize the terrible bias of the Deuk-chan arc? I was wrong. I wasted that time.
Anywho, as said I was never too into the story in the first place so none of the conclusions were particularly satisfying or impactful to me. Eom Ji's final unfinished/unsent text seemed (to me) that she really may have been suicidal but she still wanted to let Do Ha know whatever happened to her wasn't on him. I feel sad that the company is officially over but it's nice that everyone was able to move on. People in dramas are almost ALWAYS more forgiving and understanding than I am which makes my cynical, jaded self roll my eyes even if *technically* that's the more mature response. At least everyone fessed up to their actions and took responsibilty.
I don't know how I feel about her giving up her liar hunter business but it's also like whatever.
I got my bean, and that's the good part (with Seo Ji Hoon). But we nearly forgot to watch this week's episode... it tells you how much we were interested in the (non)-plot. I'm not even angry at this drama to have devolved in such a bland mess with candy good ending for all.
If I were to rewrite this drama, I would've liked DoHa's Mom to have done more for her son.
I didn't like that SolHee's Mom got a slap on the wrist. She is still her money grubby self especially when that PD told SH's Dad that he could earn a lot of money for the spicy ramen. It would be nice if he got the business going on his own or with another woman. Then he earned a lot of money to rub it in his ex's face. Then SH's Mom end up with a man who conned her back.
Deuk Chan was awful for hiding the truth for so long. If he really wanted to minimize the harm to DoHa, he should've given himself up sooner. I guess then we don't have any topic for 16 episodes.
Instead of reconciling SolHee's parents, the last episodes shouldve been focused on giving more direction to the leads's careers. More of DoHa's songwriting, SolHee arc about choosing to llom T the good in people is all nice and all.
But she could also find another purpose for her gift to help ppl example, aboiding to be wrongfully accused for a crime or something.
Hyun Min is so pretty, I dont care that he cant act LOL. The last two episodes were pretty much fillers. The story ended with the first part of episode 15.
I wouldve definitely preferred to see more of the shopkeepers and less of the parents.
This was a good watch, regardless
I love this exchange, and I love this idea, but... I've never watched Gilmore Girls! I watched the first episode and very strongly disliked it ? Yikes sorry!! I dropped this way back in ep 5, but I've still been following along with the recaps and comments. I'm sorry to hear that it's fizzling in an unsatisfactory way with a lot of the subplots. But I also feel vindicated with my early drop, lol ? I hope it ends well for you guys!!!!!
The issue with this one is not the inclusion of the murder mystery--that was there from the beginning. It is, as @attiton says, that these last two episodes almost totally lost the focus on the liar hunter, the key to not only the fantasy but also the larger significance of the show! (Also in my opinion what was most enjoyable about the show.)
My Lovely Liar
Rom-com with heart fluttering otp moments with a side of Luni's Tarot Cafe client "cases that we get to see and experience". I'm here for it! 12 episodes ideal length but at a stretch even 16 episodes.
Definite no-nos all points elaborated by Seon-ha for remaining episodes.
"Antonio Banderas Bee Sting Face" put him in jail and throw away the key. In jail counseling recommended. "Slime fraternal behavior (our sus crime bros)". Couldn't care less.
4 episodes left. I hope DoHa will help Ethan and his brother with their careers. Maybe start his own music label away from Deuk Chan.
I sure hope we get to see more of SolHee's cases or maybe a career shift?
Mok Sol Hee is a young woman who has become quite cynical over the years because of her ability to detect lies. However, she's thrust into a mystery upon learning that a murder suspect is telling the truth regarding his innocence. Until this point, the lead character thinks of her ability as a curse rather than a gift, and the story in general tells of her transformation into a liar hunter.
