I initially picked up "Lie to Me" to see Yoon Eun Hye in a new drama. I was very excited and immediately fell in love with the show. The premise was a little rediculous but I loved how the story flowed and the character interactions.



If I were to review this show at the first 10 episodes I could give it great marks. It was really my favorite drama at the time. But once the writer change happened at episode 11 this show became one of the biggest disappointments.



In the beggining Ah Jung's relationshpi with Sang Hee was great and I couldn't help but root for him as a second lead. Ki Joon was a little cold at first and it seemed like it took a while for Kang Ji Hwan to feel completely comfortable in his role but once Ki Joon started to develop feelings for Ah Jung it was great. It was fun to see him jokingly tease her but still be a little cold to her. They also had great chemistry, the 'cola' scene was one of the funniest and romantic moments I've seen in a drama.



At episode 11 the whole show changed with the writer change. All of a sudden Ki Joon's character was nice and friendly and Sang Hee (as well as the secretary) seemed to be no where. The side stories/relationships changed quite drastically as well. The whole atmosphere, including the music, became lighthearted and brought back more of a 'comedy' feel. But it was a very different 'comedy' feeling than the first half.



I feel like I could go back and rewatch episodes from the beginning but as a whole this show was too much of a disappointment for me to ever consider rewatching. I loved the cast but the writer change really killed my love for the show.

Although they say this is a spin off from fated to love you it really isn't. Drunken to Love You is hilarious and there are funny moments almost all the time. Sometimes Taiwanese dramas seem to have a lot of melodrama in them, but this one didn't. However, there are some awful characters, occasional bad acting, and cliché moments but overall Fated to Love You is really likeable.

Now Rainie was awesome ! she seemed so very grown up and not like a kid anymore. Her crying scenes were really tear jearkers, and she really conveyed what the character meant. She is a really good actress. Joe Chang was really good as well but he did have a bit of an overacting bug, still you could really connect with him too. Tiffany Hsu was awful. Not only did it seem like the character was written poorly but her acting skills were the pits and she had no chemistry with Tom Price. (Plus she was annnnoying!!) The mother started out evil for like 1 episode but you will come to love her. You will see all kinds of reoccurring characters and if you watch it on Viki your friends will help pick those folks out!

Drunken to Love You has way less drama going on than Fated to Love you. However, with that said it seemed that Rainie cried just as much.lol. If you loved Fated to love you, if you keep in mind that this is a completely different drama you will like this too. I think both dramas had an innumerous amount of flashbacks and it seemed like there were new characters just coming out with no real purpose. Drunken had a lot of nice sub plots going on but none of them were as developed as the sub plots seemed to be in Fated.

This was a good watch it wasn't heavy with the drama, but it was funny and mainly cheery and had a really sweet ending. That you may not even see coming!

p.s loved the soundtrack.

So this is a drama based off of the Manga and Anime by Gosho Aoyama. Previously there had been 3 Specials, the most recent of which stars the same cast as the ones in this drama. I haven't seen any of those, but as an avid fan of the anime, I was eager to watch this drama. And to date, it has yet to disappoint me. While yes the storyline isn't the same (the anime is based off of when Shinchi becomes a kid, while this one is just stories of Shinchi solving crimes). But nonetheless, the cases aren't bad, the acting is pretty awesome (especially Shinchi/Ran/Detective Mouri). The music is decent. Overall those, this is definitely one of the better anime to drama adaptations I have seen.

Ok Lee Min Ho is 1 of my fave actors & he did amazing in this action packed drama. The story was awesome, full of conspiracy & intrigue. The fighting scenes were done really well. Only 1 fight scene seemed weird b/c it was confrontation in 1 place then set up fight scene in another (in a basement or something like that). I really enjoyed the relationships that were brought to light from beginning to end. The concept of revenge is hard to deal w/ & this story deals w/ it very well. The ending left me wanting a little more from the romantic stand point, but over all I am happy w/ how things turned out. Enjoyed watching it & I recomend others watch it as well.

Sometime ago I was on a Nishikido Ryo kick so naturally I placed this on my to watch list. It sounded like a good show but months past and I was never in the mood to watch something so Melodramatic. Until I read a review that said "Surprisingly Funny". I turned on the first episode to see if this person was pulling my leg and I was completely surprised.



The prevailing mood is hilarious as the siblings spend their time swindling people of their money. And even though these siblings have such a heavy past hanging over them their banter with each other is fast, upbeat, and hilarious. Nevertheless the story doesn't seem silly but has depth because of the serious and sad moments when the three remember their parents and the pain over their loss.



So it's not a lie, this drama is surprisingly funny. And cleaver camera work too, you can be watching one scene and suddenly realize in the background there's a continuation of another scene going on at the same time. Brilliant!



"I would recommend it to everyone who likes stories which leave you with a laughing and a weeping eye.." - and I second that.



(Lingering thought: Nino as Ryo's older brother was a bit hard to swallow at first but that's just getting nit-picky on my part)

wahh...from all the reviews on this drama, be it on this site or others it seems that not many people liked it. But i did. Why? many of you said Rainie`s voice in this drama was bad, her acting too, i didn`t felt this way, i actually liked her and acting like that i`m sure it wasn`t easy. It was something different from usual so it`s not bad. I felt that the dramas i`ve saw before all had something in common but not this one. At first i wasn`t sure if i`ll like it but i still gave it a try. For those who said that her voice was too high pitched i`m telling you to watch "Fated To Love You"; now this drama really had high pitched voices and fells really noisy (but it`s not a bad one).



Now about the story - it was a good one, not that complicated, funny, a bit strange with silly things but good and not too long with dragging on the story. What i didn`t liked are the last 5min of the show, i hoped of a little different ending. Acting/Cast - all of them played their roles great and the cast was great. Even though i`m used to see Rainie play with Mike He, this time acting with Pan Wilber he showed us a different Rainie a cute and silly one and they had good chemistry. Pan Wilber was really good in this drama (hope i can see more with him) and i think his kissing technique was one of the best. Music - kinda poor but not bad. Maybe when i`ll be bored i`ll re-watch it. So overall i gave it a 9 since i had fun watching and wasn`t bored at all.

There's action, to keep your adrenaline high, there's romance that will raise your heartbeat, there's humor that makes you burst out of laughter (for me episode 7 was the funniest, I sincerely laughed out loud) and there is Eric, the leading actor, the hottest actor I've seen, you'll fall in love immediately! If you like those dramas where the male is falling in love but denying his feelings at first, then this is a drama for you. I like the plot of course, but what keeps me coming back for more is this romance between the main characters. The OST is also good and suits the drama well. Don't think I exaggerated when I rated almost everything 10... I'm really amazed with this drama and recommend it to everyone.

Extra advice: wait until the whole drama is out, because you may feel frustrated if you have to wait for episodes to be uploaded, like me lol :D

The story is not out of the ordinary. However there was enough angst to keep me watching. The ending was a little too open ended for my liking.

The acting was exceptional because all the characters made me feel thier pain. Special shout out goes to Lee Kyu Han for his ability to portray a nice guy who can quickly change into a scary dude. I really liked him in smile you too. I want him in a starring role where he actually gets the girl though! I first seen Eric in Spy Myung Wol. I have to say I liked him in QSS even though he is a jerk for most of the time. He is starting to grow on me.

The music is hip and also emotional so it really went well with the scenes.

Rewatch value is low because the plot was not special enough for me to want to watch again.

Overall this drama is very good but was missing some things to make it spectacular...

So I was a big fan of the anime and the manga but I dont think I will continue the drama; why?

Because I think the drama is exactly the same as the anime.

The acting is exactly the same as the anime and manga,which is great!

The animation in the drama is great!

The character are exactly the same,which is awesome!

But as I said I watched the anime already and I think the drama feels a bit unreal,but very funny,but i think i will leave for a time when I miss the anime or the manga :)

But If you did not read the manga or watch the anime,THEN WATCH IT,ITS VERY FUNNY!!!

The only reason why I started watching this was because Ohno Satoshi was in it. But after watching the first story I can't help but wonder what the rest will turn out. Some of the stories does seem predictable, but I still can't help but to watch it anyways.



The only downside that everyone seem to have w/ this drama is that it was too short, about 10-15 mins long -____- But I kinda like it since it was sorta a break for me from watching a hour long episode.



I would recommend this IF you have nothing else to watch or you need a break. Overall, it's entertaining.
