But still I don't say I hate Lie to Me, in fact I love it. I'm little bit down about this episode too but still this drama is not yet that finish it just about to end, we don't know that we might be shock in the last 4 episodes left, so no prediction yet. We might be little bit down by this episode but in the next episode, you don't know what will happened, just like in the first few episodes many people are so disappointed to Lie to Me but they able to pull up watching it by episode 8, so don't give up yet complain when the drama is ended, that's only the time you can say something on the drama. You're just encouraging some people who are not yet watching this to not watch this anymore.

Ok, there's something that has been bugging me for sometime about this drama. Can someone please enlighten me with facts about Korean dressing? I just don't get the stylist and his/her choice of wardrobe.

I mean, seriously, in one earlier episode, Ah Jung only wears a shirt and nothing else underneath! (Or at least that was what it looked like) And why would she wear something so informal to do a presentation to international guests in ep 10? Wouldn't a suit be de rigeur in major events like that?

And don't get me started on the hair! YEH's hair colour is such a loud colour right now, and we are supposed to take her seriously as a civil servant? What possessed the stylists to give her a haircut with the new fringe that makes her look so dorky?

Am I just really not with it when it comes to fashion?

I really love dramabeans and respect the opinion. I respect their taste eventhough I disagree with them sometimes.

But this weecap thing is getting ridiculous. I meant the comment section. It's not doing any good - not constructive or anything. Perhaps ita better if db let this drama go.

Ok, before posting some comments, I would really like to make myself clear to avoid some misunderstandings.
I am fan of Lie to me. I mean I really-really like it. However, I also do really like the weecaps veeeery much, cause its just what we all loved in this place. Being witty, with plenty of humor, and no fear to express any kind of opinion.
That being said, I want to state that I (1) Neitther have problem about javabeans and girlfridays opinion about Lie to me (cause its THEIR own goddamn opinion in THEIR own site who THEY made popular, because THEY say what THEY think and like ) and (2) I have neither any problem with people that bash "Lie to me" cause (a) everyone is entitle to an opinion and (b) I cannot act like a policeman in a blog that its NOT mine.(If something is bothering me, I just don't pay attention to it.)
My game, my rules.Their game, their rules. Simple as that.

What I really want to say, is what I find paradox about the whole negativity that "Lied to me" have received. I, too, find flaws (I don't consider it as the best drama ever) that happened to be (at least for me) unnecessary storylines of older people, too much screen time of secondary characters,etc, but yet, I find the characters way more humanly than in many other drama. For sure its not nothing that we have never seen before, neither is something extraordinary good. But its as good as an average rom-com could be.
I don't find any extraordinary wtf (or any extraordinary at all) twists or scenes in this drama, either.At least not that much that would make me dislike or get bored to it . The Lie happened for normal reasons, the lead couple struggled with their feelings smoothly and almost, I say almost, all the relationships made sense.At least for my POV

The reasons of the negativity problem (as how I see it) is those:
- Bad ratings. I have seen waaaaaaaaay worst dramas (acting-wise, plot-wise, popularity-wise), and yet the negativity wasn't that high. For example, Boys over flowers was a baaaad plotted drama, yet, it had receive zero negativity, at least compared to ''Lie to me", and compared to the ''love'' that it received.
- ''Follow the majority''. Its a know phenomenon that many people follow the majority. Sometimes they agree, but they never bother to comment or express their opinion, because "its not a trend to do it", at least for that drama, and other, ''have'' to follow that idea, because... most of people do... they should be right, right?
- Prejudice. If so many people say its bad, then its bad. ("Omo, omo, Javabeans doesn't like it, if she doesn't, it should be crap, right?" -> no offence javaneans, I adore you :)).
I admit that I have done it myself lots of times. I didn't want to watch "world's within" (even if Binnie was in it), cause i have read some bad reviews (waste of talent, boring drama) and when I gave it a try, I really sweared to myself of being so foolish.I realised that I trusted someone's taste,instead of mine. (For the record, I found worlds within so realistic, heartwarming and humanly, that really made me ''feel'' together with the characters).
- Prejudice while watching. Having heard or read all the bad comments, people rarely pay attention to the actual developments in one drama. Its not an assumption, its a fact.
- High expectations and sadness about the critical reception of a drama. Take as example ''My fair Lady''. In every category, it was way more inferior than Lie to me. Plot, acting, popularity. Yet, even if it DID really get negative comments, it wasn't as much as it is for ''Lie to me''. Why? Because Lie to me has BOTH Yoon Eun Hye and Kang JI Hwan (Oh hawtness) ! And after the My fair lady failure, people desperately wanted a Drama for Yoon Hey, to be such a big hit.

All of them together make ''Lie to me'' a boxing practise bag, a scapegoat.

Well, that's my rant. Its a little bit nosensial about what this has to do with the weecap, but I just want to say it ;p . After all, its an open thread about the drama, right?

I d love if people won't get angry with the ''negative'' commenters cause its just their own opinion in a blog that is personal, and not forum-like.If Dramabean's bloggers have no problem with that, why should we? Let the girls handle this blog, as they know best, and as they like.

The only think I really have to ''fight'' about with Javabeans is Kang Ji Hwan. ♥

well, everybody is entitled to their own opinion... so whatever... i am still watching and will keep on watching this drama till the end.

whatever you say... I JUST LOVE LIE TO ME TO PIECES!!!!!!
.... their chemistry is awesome!!!!

I think, negative comments exist in this blog only 'cause i've been visiting others and see none of it there...

@ JB, GF and Santa Clause
Please get a "Blogging 101" book first thing tomorrow so we can all be spared your BLATANT DISRESPECT towards your readers! Your lack of interest in "Lie To Me" is glaringly obvious so please stop this FARCE of a WE-CAP/Open Thread—it's making me wanna puke!

YES, we all get it loud and clear; it's your blog blog blog and you'll blog or not if you want to; BUT, where will your blog be if not for your readers?

@Enuff
Yes, I agree with you all the way; JB, GF and Santa Clause, do us all a favor—Just drop "Lie To Me" altogether!

@ To all the negative commentators:
Who is forcing you to watch "Lie To Me?" Is someone holding you hostage to watch?
Note: Stop being influenced singularly by this blog; the writers (JB, GF and Santa Clause) have obviously lost their objectivity...

Actually the eps. in 11 & 12 are really sweet. It's romantic and it's trying to show the other side of KJ. I love it when he try to control AJ esp. when tearing up the contract. And I love it when he's being honest of trying to put the relationship on the right track when telling the Chen the whole truth of the phoney marriage. I love it when he tried to court AJ properly. I adored when both lovebird can't help missing each other. And I can't help liking that both of them really work hard. For me really, there's nothing not to like about LTM.

lol I feel like threads like this is just pushing people further from the drama. It's interesting to see so many people take the time to post that they didn't watch it but they're sure it's crap anyway from reading the weecap.

weecap or warcap????

They think they’re Ike and Tina, but they’re really Spencer and Heidi

LOVE IT lol

I say I'm one of Lie To Me fans. I'm not disrespecting the post of the people who are wee capping Lie To Me but if you really don't have interest in Lie To Me please just drop this kdrama. Some people will just influence to hate Lie To Me, as what you say I'll post korean dram IF I like to. So if you don't like posting this drama please drop this. I respect all your opinion and comments, I really do but it just hurts people who love Lie to Me. Getting disappointed of wee cap. For haters of Lie to Me if you don't like the drama just drop the drama and don't say and say negative comments, if you don't like it just drop it you don't have to shout to all people that you hate this or hate that because you are just pissing people off. For those people who really do like Lie to Me I recommend Koala, she loves the drama and giving enjoyable recaps and comments that many people love it. If you gonna check all her recaps in Lie to Me, you will see no NEGATIVE comments there, I swear. Because of her love of the drama. So I suggest to the people who are wee capping this if you don't LOVE this drama please and please drop it, it just really hurting many people.

Of course, it's ending soon, so might as well be it.
Hm, this drama is a bit of a daze for me. But I still love the character, but man! am I loving CITY HUNTER!!!!

Some people need to chill. It's a drama, just because someone else disagrees with your perception of the drama does not mean its a personal attack on you. So RELAX!

Aphrodite, I totally get what you mean about following the majority. I followed the majority into sam soon and was so glad I did, thats my number one! Then I followed the majority into msoan, thankfully I was smart enough to know that it was not going to work out with msoan. but point of they story is, everyone knows what thet like and hopefully is smart enough to do what they need to do and either continue or gtfo of there. I am not a lie to me lover. This was my most anticipated spring drama and it kinda left me hanging. I keep watching for the cute moments in the leads characters but ive pretty much given up from 4-11. Why do I read the wee caps? Im curious to see the chemistry between the leads and how my most anticipated spring drama ended up. Im currently skipping through every scene w/out our main leads. And for the ppl who arent satisfied with the wee caps, like you say, if you know you arent going to like what gf and db and santa says, dont read. Simple. Db and gf told us they didnt wanna recap it and offered options for us. I voted for the open thread as did countless others obviously. Open thread is here for everyone to spazz about how much they enjoyed it or how much they disliked it. I agree with you guys on the harsh comments like puke, vomit pee. I felt that was uncalled for but im grateful that the db team is still willing to do this even though they dont really like the drama.

"but they’re really Spencer and Heidi"

rotflmao

as much as i love myself some jb and gf wit and insight, i don't take cues from them to like or dislike certain dramas. our opinions differ greatly. some of the ones they've ranked lower, i would rank up. some of the ones they've ranked higher, i would rank down. in fact, city hunter is meh for me. =D merely tolerable as an action-romance drama.

seriously though.. this show is terribly written.

so be it if there are some of you who like it, and some of us who don't, and have been hoping for an ounce of legitimate progress.

the whole "i lub you" thing is ridiculous. yeah right. it's almost as bad as the cringe worthy metaphor from yesterday's episode.

jb totally socked it to this episode, her words bleeding fire.. and truth.

Many people are fighting because of this wee cap, relax people it's just drama as one person says. This is free world people, it's free to say something and it's up to some people if they get influence by hating or loving Lie to Me. For the fans of Lie to me, I know that if you hate another korean drama for sure you will say bad comments too so don't react to much, because we all just the same. But to those are insulting Lie to Me they are too much, if you really hate lie to me you don't have say that so worst...

Lie To Me is the ONLY May drama that leaves with a big smile on my face after watching it. A big smile that turns into frustration after coming onto this site and reading the recap (or rather weecap). I don't mind CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS, but when the comments are near bashing sugar coated by an attempt of humor, I don't find it funny. At all.

I've been following this site for several years now, and you usually write a lot of your thoughts at the end of the recap. I enjoy reading those comments for all of the other shows because even if they're negative, you analyse it well. You explain it sincerely and you back up your comments with constructive criticisms.

Anyway, I just don't understand why you can't find another recapper to do those weecaps. All of the other dramas have recappers who CLEARLY ENJOY the show that they are recapping. For example, yesterday's episode was really cute and had a lot of sweet moments between YEH and KJH, but as I was reading the weecap, it felt like the guest recapper (Santa Claus) didn't enjoy the episode. Or the show. A pleasant recap is one where we can feel the sincerity of the writer, because he/she LIKES the drama and the recap is a something that he/she does out of happiness.

Yes, I understand that this is your blog and you can write whatever you want, but as a reader I have a right for stating my own opinions and right now, I just feel that despite the good parts of the show, and its cuteness, all you can see are the bad parts. Lie To Me is very popular on the net and has a lot of fans. It wouldn't be THAT HARD to find someone who genuinely love this drama and would like to do the weecaps. Just out of respect for all the fans of this drama. All of the other recaps out here on your site are oozing of love, but this one just has hate, hate and more hate. Just saying.

thanks for the weecap..
i actually liked this episode too...as i did the last part of yesterday's episode...

i was hoping they'd just elope and get married....that will surely solve all of their problems...

i'm glad SoRan is now back with her husband, i think he just needed to lose her so that he can remember why he loved her in the past...i think it was good that somehow, AhJung played a role in getting them back together again...
now they just need Chen to sign up with them and get YJ to leave for Paris and everything will be back to better than normal for everyone involved...

What's happening in this website, they are all fighting and fighting, my only comment is please give a break in this drama, it's just a drama, okay?!

You I know I really don't care about all and all comments whether that be negative or positive, I don't care because I love this drama it's my own opinion period. Other than that I don't care less. Anyways thanks for the wee cap, even thought it just short, you still do your job on posting this.

This is the first Lie to me Open Thread I've read and commented on....This is not a fun place at all.

My suggestion is to stop complaining that cotton candy has no nutritional value people...or that your at the carnival while eating it ;)

Early on, I chose to accept Lie to Me for the drama that it is and since doing so I've enjoyed it immensely. It's a fun straight forward romantic comedy and it's not horrible like so many people say. Honestly, I think the people who rag the most on the show don't watch it and even if they do it's only to look specifically for things to make fun of.

KJH and YEH are really great actors (a number of seasoned actors too) and every once in a while they have really great scenes in Lie to Me. Like in Ep 12 when Ki joon tells Ah jung to tell him everything that's going on with her - its a totally cheesy unrealistic line that men never say (common in kdrama land), but KJH acted it out with such sincerity it genuinely made me smile :) It was such a sweet moment. Also there was lots of romance and cute interaction in the episode...

Anyway I just want to say that I enjoy and support Lie to Me. Others shouldn't shy away from enjoying this drama for what it is just because of the negativity in the Open Thread comments.

kang ji hwan needs guidance in picking a good quality project that ensure popularity and high ratings, maybe another hong sisters drama? I absolutely loved coffee house but that one had low ratings and went unnoticeable by the korean viewers. Well ratings don't matter to me as long as I like it but I care for kjh and i want him to be happy :( not that I know he's sad right now or anything....

wow...I went back and read some of the other Lie to Me Open Thread comments from previous episodes (I'm a masochist *shrug*) ...people are SO mean when they're anonymous.

I like LTM. Just for the fun of it.

I don't like this weecap of LTM. The tone of sarcasm is a killjoy. I'd rather just watch & decide for myself.

Some who love to hate & keep watching must have the swallow my own puke feelings or spill my stinky gut for all to share.

I'd rather spend my time reading an enjoyable weecap/recap than a sarcastic peecap.

Fans, anti fans, the media, netizens contibute to the making & breaking public figure. There are those who want bring down a drama by posting all kinds of hate remarks just because they thrive on other people's misery. They are also fans of dramas they want to keep on top.

There are haters who are responsible for the demise of some showbiz who fell victim to the hate campaign. Is their conscience clear when that happens? Maybe not...they just move on to another victim.

I am a LTM LOVER!!!! and yes! everybody have different opinions, but I think that the recaps HAVE TO BE OBJECTIVE. Bloggers: you can add your thoughts without murdering the drama itself... and as one of my favorite blogs says: Talk about a drama if you want to...
If you guys hate LTM this much, don´t do recaps!

Lie to me is awesome. The director presented the scenes as they should be…. simple and direct without embellishments . Korean tv viewers seem to be lost in this drama because of the absence of twists and turns subplots and sub characters diversions which are the daily fare of most Korean dramas. In Lie to me you have to savor the chemistry and acting of the main characters. YEH and KJH raise romance to a high level it leaves you giddy and thirsty for more. The way KJ courts AJ is the dream of many woman and KJH does it very well! For all, just enjoy Lie to me as a rare romance drama of YEH and KJH. Just enjoy, as trite as it may seem, love is a many-splendored YEH and KJH!

JB, Thank you for the weecap. I like it after reading it again. Its ok. I always prefer your recaps. My comments was influenced by some clucking headless chooks! Ooops! headless...but they can still cluck!

I'm still enjoying LTM.

i think the writers here are worst than the writer of LTM!!!
making a so called stupid weecap to gain attention,
i think db does not like yeh from the start.. so they just doing this to have more "anti-fans" here???
if you really dont like the story of LTM then stop ur recaps/ weecap just like other dramas that you drop!!!!
honestly ur just a cheap critics not to be respect at all.....

JB, why not recap or weecap one that you'd rather enjoy writing about.

LTM has a beautiful romance going on between KJ & AJ. They are still sizzling...that keeps me watching LTM with joy. No hate or sarcastic remarks can take that away from me. So fans of LTM.

I had watched all of KJH drama and movies and i am following LTM all for the fact it features KJH. It does not bother me the plot is shallow after all that's kdrama. The comments here are interesting tho and i enjoy the various opinions. Please try not to bash each other . : )

Honestly, I don't really understand why people get so worked up about these weecaps/recaps. It's just a damn drama, people. Some like it, others don't. Get over it, and if you love it and take remarks on its imperfections as personal attacks then don't read these entries or the comments. It's gonna be better for everyone.
I, personally, enjoy the weecaps as this is the way I usually watch dramas, even if I love one I surely won't let its flaws remain unnoticed.

umm..I'm crazy about Best Love, but if someone says they think the show just like puke/vomit pee, my response is "Wow, we sure have different taste".

it's true that writing recaps includes side comments from the writer which is always welcoming and amusing but when the writer starts writing doom/hate endlessly, the objectivity disappears. and when some respond liking LTM, some starts ranting and going out of bounds. Kdramas are not kosher blessed by a rabbi, in this case those who thinks they know more than the other (which is debatable). Like in any other story, it's ones preference. Do not castigate others simply bcoz you don't like a kdrama, it's hurtful, below the belt and irresponsible. Comments are ok but going beyond what's reasonable sets logic nowhere. let's be civilized.

btw, Okoala has always maintained positive and never have read her negate this site or its writers ever! so reading a comment that said otherwise just shows the netizen does not really know what he/she is talking about. just saying.

Lie to Me is still a good kdrama worth watching.

Yoon Eun Hye just give the nest hug EVER! very cute couple! :) ♥

why there are so may haters?..hmmnnnnnnn YEH fighting!

I have friends from different countries who like this drama and many of them want entertainment (for relief) after study/work. Some sort of story with beautiful/attractive and acting lead characters.

We are not Koreans but we learned a lot about Korea and culture through these dramas. Main common thing among the korean drama admirers (foreigners) is we like Yoon Eun Hye (from her songs, dances, X-man, dramas movies, CFs and more from her behaviour). Whenever a new episode is released we look for recap as we want to understand the episode. We donot bother what the writer`s comments are, how sarcastic the writer comments, other comments etc. We like YEH acting skills and we watch her dramas irrespective of comments.

Many dramas we donot watch though there is a story/popular actors as we do not like them. We dont even read recaps and comment there.

I am surprised why some read recaps and whine unnecessarily. Instead they can watch their favourite actors/shows.

Ben

Does anyone know the name of the song at the end part of episode? The song started when Ki Jun hang up the phone with Ah Jung

I guess I don't understand all the requests for "objectivity" from recaps here or on any other sites.

I mean, isn't a blog created for the specific purpose of posting one's thoughts or opinions? If you want objectivity, go to... I don't know... Fox News (always fair and balanced ;) ) [And before you jump all over me for saying that, I don't think any other news outlets in the US are any more objective than Fox... they're just easy to pick on because of their slogan.]

I think people post online to feel heard and understood, to feel that someone gets where they're coming from, and to feel that someone can identify with them. So whatever your opinion, it's validating to be able to express that freely, and know that others are hearing you.

God! Show really makes people angry...

The funny thing is the more the haters hate Show, and burst a vein in the process, the more the supporters love it. This is EPIC.

Oh, and lust? I've had many meaningful relationships based on less. *wink wink*

I thought Lie To Me was going to be the biggest drama of May but for me it ended up being an average drama, nothing new but still enjoyable.I guess a lot of people had high expectations for this and the dissapointment has left a bitter taste. Although I've only watched up until episode 8 I can see why some people love it but at the moment there are 4 other dramas I'm enjoying more than Lie To Me so I've kind of given up on it for now.

Anyway just wanted to say thanks for the weecaps they are so funny and witty.

I think this weecap/recap is a total failure of Dramabeans
blog, because everywhere people are fighting. There is no fun anymore if we start posting criticism and deconstructive comments. Keeping silence is much better for those who do not like the drama. Posting negative comments are actually bad and reflects your personality as a sick and pathetic person.

Just my pt of view.
