Lie to Me Episode 1

The most anticipated korean drama Lie to Me, started airing its first episode 9th May 2011 on SBS. This is the first time we'll be seeing Yoon Eun Hye back in a romantic-comedy TV series, after "Take care of the young lady",(aside from the cameo role in Personal Preferences).

From the short synopsis I've read, this looks like just an ordinary Kdrama, rich man and a commoner met accidentally, hates each other from the start and then will eventually fall in love.What I want to see is the chemistry between them, and we all know the fresh and charming face of YEH always creates excitement to the televiewers.

I'm happy to be able to watch the pilot episode (mon and tue) with english sub. Episode one starts of  by introducing the leading male start to audience. Hyun Ki Ju, with all that fashionable suit and look, enters a luxurious hotel. He meticulously checks every details, from, glasses to plates to equipment and even the uniform of hotel staff. It is noticeable that the employees have this anxious look on their faces, waiting if the boss would react or not to what he sees. They were on the verge of preparing the hotel for a wedding. All of a sudden, the bride to be went over the hotel, sobbing, claiming she saw her fiance enters the hotel with a girl. The receptionist doesn't want to give information about the room number but Ki Joon tells them its ok. They went to the room, but then the bride got cold feet and decided just not to bother. But Ki Joon rang the bell, and the groom opened the door complaining about the hotel's bad service, then the bride barged into the room with 2 of her girl friend. Ki Joon left and ask to settle everything after 10 minutes.

Next scene would introduce us to our lovable female lead star. Gong Ah Jung works for Department of Tourism. She organized and planned an event for the Unitd Nation foreign ambassadors visiting Korea. Everything was running smoothly until a bee hive accidentally fell of a tree causing the bees to go wild and went on attacking the rest of the guests. The almost perfect occassion turned out to be a big mess, when everyone got stinged (including her) by the bees sudden attack. Her manager made her responsible for what happened. Feeling down and frustrated, she went to a bar to grab a few drinks. She was trying to compose a resignation letter using a table napkin, when she met  Hyun Sang Hee. She went on and venting out all her frustrations and her plan of giving the resignation letter to her manager using the table napkin.Meanwhile, Ki Joon rushed over the bar when he heard that his brother was there. When Sang Hee saw a glimpse of  Ki Joon, he walked out of the bar and escape and jumps into a friend's car. Ki Joon failed to chase him.

Ah Jung suddenly realizing her resignation letter was with  Sang Hee, she tried to ran after him but she was too lated. Since she consumed a handful of beer, she suddenly she was choking, grab unto Ki Joon until she fell down. Ki Joon brought her to the hospital. He paid for the expenses, and Ah Jung promised him he will pay him back when she got her bag and things from the bar.


The next day Ah Jun went to the salon and met an old friend-turned-enemy Yoo So Ran and her husband who happened to be Ah Jung's first love.  Ah Jung still cannot forget the betrayal they did to her. Yoo So Ran, was talking things about the past and their friendship, then sunddenly, the question of her being married was brought up. Since So Ran's unkind remarks gets into Ah Jung's skin, when her phone rings, she pretended the person calling was her "Yeobo" (honey/darling) and pretend she's already married.

She went to the hotel to pay Ki Joon. Ki Joon was with a blind date. While waiting for Ki Joon, she accidentally fell off the chair and spill the tomato juice over her. She pretended to faint since the situation is already embarassing. Ki Joon carried her and brought her over the hotel room, not knowing that  Ah Jung's old classmate saw them together.  On the hotel room, Ki Joon refused to take her money but still she left the money and went out of the hotel and pretending that she's not well and telling the guest how worst the hotel is.
After this incident, her former classmate meets up with the rest of her old friends and saying that she saw Ah Jung being carried by a rich handsome man who looks like her husband. The rumor about Ah Jung getting married secretly to a Chaebol spread quickly.

Ki Joo was playing golf when he realized about a rumor of him being secretly married. He suddenly remembers  Ah Jung as his primary suspect.

Although this looks like a common drama, I guess through the course of the story it would get interesting.

Episode two... on my next entry.
