The lead actess in this drama is Lee Da-hae (이다해) plays the role of Yoo-rin, a compulsive liar who finds herself pretending to be the long-lost cousin of Gong-chan, played by Lee Dong-wook (이동욱) in hopes of helping his grandfather recover from a terrible illness. Yorin and Gong-chan try their best to keep the lie a secret but it is not an easy lie to keep. But Gong-Chan's ex girlfriend, a professional tennis player Seo-hyun comes back to Korea and wants to get back with him and Gong-chan's cousin Jung Woo, Gong-chan's cousin, starts to like Yoo-rin which just makes the whole situation more complicated.
How will Yoo-rin and Gong-chan handle it? And what will happen as they begin to develop feelings for each other but have to act like cousins?
I won't spoil the drama for you but I'll tell you what I liked and disliked about the drama.
Liked:
- It wasn't a typical Korean drama storyline. Yes, the lead guy is a über rich guy. But the general story line where they pretend to be cousins is different to other Korean dramas I've watched which is what I loved about the drama.
- The random busts of comical scenes
- Lee Dong-wook ;)
Didn't like:
- Yoo-rin's excessive lying. There were points of the drama that I was just shouting 'just stop lying!' But that might just mean Lee Da-hae's acting is great and she plays the role really well.
Rating: 8.5/10
I'd definitely recommend this drama.
