Sol-hee loves truth but the world is not black or white. She didn't ask the truth, she just thought it's a lie, it's bad. But she's the biggest liar. She was thinking to marry someone who doesn't know her real activity. I understand her mother accusing her of ruining their family made her not ready to tell her secret. The mother is the worst. But it's different in this case. He was the man of life in theory and she lied. And she lied about the boyfriend (but at least it's to watch her with Do-Ha).

Do-Ha is the worst at hidding... He's obvious in eberything he does. But I like the fact he doesn't lie but just doesn't tell all the truth. I was surprised his real name wasn't seen in her research as the son of politician or the suspect in a murder.

Yunayaaa is worst in this drama. At least she was kinda funny in Shooting Stars. But suicide blackmail is bad.

I need a first role for my Ji-Hoon.

Why can't he just be a jazz pianist (who studied classically, lmao?). Why does this have to be 1/3 idol drama. I don't LIKE idol dramas*. 😂😂😂

I quite liked our second two episodes. They were both funny (oh that bizarre trampoline assist jump 😂) and heartfelt. The ML’s growth arc was clear from the get-go but I appreciate now the FL also has something to learn. I didn’t think our 2ML was suspicious in any way; I think his arc is gonna be sad, and so am I. (I can hear you laughing Seon-ha).

I thought we were going with “she fell first” awfully quickly so I liked the brakes on that at the ending. And it ties in nicely with FL’s arc re her abilities. And I don’t mind the mystery in this rom-com since they’ve integrated it from the get-go.

Show has nicely passed my four episode test.

I love the leads together. Not many shows have made me swoon, but this one has. The leads have something to learn from the other, and they are learning perfectly well. They are more like good friends right now, and I’m sure this is a good foundation for a solid relationship, whichever form it takes.

I agree with the recapper that there is something fishy about the policeman. He broke off the engagement, and moved away right after that without giving her any explanation. That is a deal breaker in my book, as well as hers or anyone’s, apparently. The thing ML said was also right, “Why is he trying to meet you even after you told him you didn’t want to meet him anymore?”. There is something unsettling about this person.

I never liked KSH before. Her work never impressed me. But this one, THIS ONE, I think she is so natural here. The ML might look a bit green for me, but for me he’s just perfect. Their chemistry is so good, something I think often lacks in many dramas these days. I look forward to their stories in the next episodes.

And yes, I love their conversation about forever love. If I’m not mistaken, the ML said he didn’t think one could love the other forever as there were a lot of uncontrollable factors. I think he has a good point there, though I don’t think I agree with him. What I want to say is that I agree with @elinor that this show is extending in interesting directions while is still able to keep the old school feels to it.

I’m liking this one so far. 😇😊☺️

I can’t say I really loved ep 3 and 4, I mean show me Minhyun and I will sit for an hour like rabbit before the snake or snake at the sound of the flute, but to me several things are not quite believable, Kim So Hyun being engaged and planning to get married, not really aligns with what I thought of her character, plus she looks no older than 20, I don’t remember how old she is actually, but so young, but ok, that getting drunk and getting in trouble and conveniently saved by hot neighbor, ok, it is every drama’s staple, I can live with it, also, I was gonna say I wish I had hot neighbor that had to be stuck in my apartment too, but then imagined that my apartment would be awful mess, I prefer not to 😂, Shaon the singer is so annoying, she is the one of the most famous solo singer in Korea, but she is so immature and spoilt, I wonder how she is still on the top, no matter how good are the songs Do Ha writes for her, she lacks any depth, plus with her being that famous I don’t think some thugs would approach her to date like it was shown, I liked the actress who played the mother, she was good, that’s an experienced actor to you, she had so much presence even in few minutes she was on screen, policeman boyfriend has not impressed me so far and I am definitely not having even a hint of SLS. Good thing is Minhyun of course, he might be green but he chose good drama that suits his character, and his acting is better that some other idol actors (L and Eunwoo, I am looking at you) and I don’t even want to remember the abomination that was Lee Sungeyol in Numbers, he just shouldn’t have picked up such a complicated character to play, so Minhyun is treading lightly, and I think it is very smart of him, and in the end, some more of me swooning over Minhyun, he looks so good in anything he wears, such a stature, such a posture, and he also can play piano and peal apples, such a treasure, his face is so interesting, like take it apart and nothing impressive, but damn his soulful eyes, damn his cheeks, ok, I will stop now, tbh I have never even been much of a fan of him.

I liked that they addressed the flaw in her lie detecting system. Once we recognize a lie, we assume the plausible opposite to be the truth. But a lie has many contexts & is rather complex than it appears to be.

Also, what got into Doha that night? He kept forgetting his mask lol. ( Ik it was for the sake of the plot, but he seems so accustomed with his mask that I wonder how come he didn't feel something was missing until she pointed it out.)

This show seems to have potential ( both in lead's chemistry & plot ). Excited to see where it leads to.

While a part of me does think the show is treading the line on possibly having one too many subplots, I am enjoying this quite a bit. Sol-hee and Do-ha (or should we say Seung-joo?) have such perfect chemistry and their every interaction is just lightning in a bottle. The scene at the restaurant... I was swooning by the end. Ugh, they're so cute!

On the other hand, I am not a fan of the second leads in the slightest. Sha-on, for obvious reasons. She's a grown ass woman and one of the country's top celebrities, but is obsessively infatuated with her colleague to the point of sabotaging her stage performances, going out in the middle of the night to stalk him, and then faking a suicide attempt. That's beyond entitled, bratty behaviour - it's criminal. Methinks she needs serious mental health counselling. As for Kang-min, idk. I can't say I find him outright suspicious yet, but I'm also not at all endeared towards him. While it's true that Sol-hee was apparently paranoid and unable to trust him, it's also true that he evaded all her questions and seemed to have done nothing to dissuade her of her assumptions and try to save their engagement. That, to me, is the real red flag in that relationship. Him showing up after years of silence and trying to manufacture a 'coincidental' meeting is just gross to me. I would feel angry and gaslighted if I ever found out a partner or ex-partner of mine did something like that. It feels creepy and violating to me and I don't want him around Sol-hee. And even without all that baggage, I just won't succumb to second lead syndrome here. Our leads are too damn good together. Sucks for Seo Ji-hoon, I guess, but that's the way I like it.

A rarity for me, but I actually rather like how they've incorporated murder mystery elements relatively smoothly. Yes, I know we all hate the unnecessary darkness forced into our romcoms, but this one (so far!! pls don't betray me, show) has made it into an integral part of the male lead's characterization and past in a manner that doesn't feel unnatural. Now, all the writer has to do is keep that up and my god, I hope against all odds that they do. I already love our OTP too much for it to not hurt me if the tower comes crashing down by the end.

So happy that the show is getting so much love here! I don’t know how else I can say that I am so in love with it right now! Haven’t felt like this since Alchemy of Souls S1!

I really love how all the aspects of this drama are no nicely interwoven and natural so even the cliches and tropey ones don’t feel forced. I love how FL seemed OP in the beginning but learned in these episodes that she still has so much to learn and I wonder what she’ll think of Doha now since she initially thought that her powers weren’t working.

Minhyun too of course! He’s just too gorgeous and we all know he still has a long way to go in terms of acting but I love how he suits the role. He’s been picking great dramas from AoS to this. He’s also confirmed in Study Group and I know he’ll kill the action scenes there. So excited for all the opportunities he’s getting!

I found these two episodes better now that the show has settled into the story and I do like the premise overall.
The female lead is great but I don't think the male lead has the acting ability to be the lead in a show quite yet (I'm probably in the minority from reading the reviews so far).
It feels very uneven in ability with the other actors and doesn't flow well at times.
I know the character is supposed to be a recluse, quiet, withdrawn and is dealing with trauma (half of kdrama characters are written with these traits) but it feels very wooden and lacks any emotional depth. It doesn't help when he takes the mask off as he doesn't have much variation in expression.
Good on him for getting the lead role in such a competitive industry. This may be another case like The Forbidden Marriage where the second lead outshines and acts rings around the lead. 

Phew. So relieved that I liked these two episodes. 60% of the drama is fun and those are the KSH parts!

The second lead looks good!

The interaction between the leads also got better. I like that he is the one who is affected by her. The little changes in him are nice to see.

He really needs to leave that Saoh (whatever that artists name is) because she is awful. No girl, blackmailing with suicide is just wrong.

I liked the jazz bar scenes. And the bar owner. And the tarot room scenes.

The ML still looks a bit stiff. But not as bad as the earlier episodes. Glad I can continue!
The premise of lie detection being flawed to form conclusions is interesting.

So she doesn't necessarily perceive lies, just the intent behind the lie. If a person believes themselves to be lying than they are. So she went to the older woman's place and asked her younger lover if he loved her, it was true because he was looking at someone else and saying it about her. When Seung Joo says he killed his ex, it is because he believes it. It looks like her arc is going to be learning to distinguish that context matters in lies and that two things can be true at once. Do Ha and Seung Joo being the same person. The fact that it didn't occur to her that it was a stage name is wild. I am really enjoying this drama, our leads have good chemistry. As for the 2nd leads, the 2FL is trash( I thought we left this in the past, but this and heartbeat are bringing it back), and the 2ML, with his beautiful sad eyes is I'm sure going to have some noble idiocy happening( because men get to be more nuanced than women, sigh).

I know some Beanies think the real murderer is Deuk-chan, but I really hope not because he’s one of my favorites! I really love the easy relationship he has with Do-ha/Seung-joo, and he’s really thoughtful about the things he needs and how to protect him. Plus, all MLs need a bit of teasing when it comes to their soon to bloom feelings for the FL. Also falling into this category for me is the jazz club owner, who I hope sticks around the whole show because he’s great.

That is in stark contrast to how I feel about Sha-on. Last week I thought she was just being annoying when she wouldn’t leave his apartment and started the whole dating rumor. But this week showed it’s actually a really unhealthy obsession. Does she not care at all about his desire for privacy? She must know that if reporters followed her to his apartment building the first time, they could follow her again, and yet she still drives around the neighborhood he’s living in trying to find him and attracting attention. I would feel uncomfortable having a close working relationship with a stalker too. I get why she feels like her whole career is dependent on him, but I hope she can learn to have a healthier relationship with him, and with her own body.

That proposal scene was so well done and super relatable honestly. It didn’t happen to me, but I know so many people who were upset with their boyfriends immediately before they were proposed to because the boyfriend was behaving strangely, or vaguely, or seemed to be dishonest about something small. And it was such a smart way to illustrate how Sol-hee’s power can be working totally correctly, but still be interpreted completely wrong. I’m also loving the exploration of what a lie really is, with Do-ha’s first ping of the show. It’s heartbreaking that he feels responsible for his ex’s death (that’s what I’m assuming it is - this is not the show that’s going to make its ML an actual murderer right?), and I bet the interrogation and constant accusations have done nothing to help that.

This has quickly become my favorite live-watch of the moment and I’m so impatient for Monday to come again!

Ok. This is a very niche comment that I expect most of you won't get. But when watching this show I often get the song "Hazard" by Richard Marx in my head. https://youtu.be/gdmHHoI9beM haha
"🎶I swear I left her by the river..."🎵
