Frankly Speaking I expected something else
I solely watched this drama because of the premise of having a news anchor who cannot lie, like in "Pinocchio". But the turn of the events wasn't exactly bad but I hoped for more (I guess you could say that's how it starts out in my head).
The first two/three episodes were very hilarious imo, The comedy was at its peak and set up the first encounter between our leads in a memorable way. And obviously the set up of how he gains his "superpower" and the role the FL plays in it all. Our ML story is multilayered and we get to see how he allowed people to walk all over him and let rumors' about his life go off the rails just so he can get to where he wants to get to be and finally not be as pathetic as he thinks he is. It's a journey of you rooting for him to survive every encounter because he has no filter. You get to see him grow, love, repair old friendships nd navigate his new found fame with his unfortunate condition. But most importantly, repair his relationship with his family. This was something that eluded me whilst watching which particularly gets emphasized more especially in the last 2 episodes.
This drama is a decent watch and does live up to the hype, sorta. I guess where we all were disappointed is how we walked in expecting him to suffer through struggling to lie as a news anchor at a day and age where false information is rampant but it just became about this whole dating show and first love out for revenge (honestly idk why, if it was said I guess I missed it, but likely a loophole). Lowkey, I also expected that he would use his "superpower" to his advantage to get the job he wanted and maybe have workplace drama around that, but ohh well. There's also a poor wrap up of side character plots, the supporting cast might as well be props. Literally because they come and go as needed, little to no personality or context whatsoever. But I guess since it has little to no effect to the watching experience, because you have little time to wonder about hanging plots, then we can maybe ignore it.
Hopefully by the time the drama ends we get to see ML achieve his dreams and everything tied up nicely. (Update: this is mostly true). The slice of life aspect of the drama really shines at the end making you heal alongside ML because he is finally at a healthy place with regards to his family and work situation.
