Genre: Romantic Melodrama

Starring: Lee Yoo Ri and Yeon Jung Hoon

A young woman is wrongly imprisoned for the murder of her husband and gives up custody of her baby daughter to protect her.  Now, 10 years later, she finds the single dad who is raising her child.  Desperate to reconnect with the daughter she lost, she devises a plan to seduce the father and become her stepmom.  But when he discovers who she really is, will all of her plans be ruined or can she convince him to let her stay by their side?

Lie After Lie is suspenseful and touching.  If you like a good melodrama with some crime and mystery thrown in, you will like this one.  Unlike many of this style of drama, Lie After Lie does not ignore the romance or leave it hanging, but it also doesn't overplay it.  The relationship between the 2 leads is foundational to the plot but handled in subtle scenes rather than being the focus.  The true heart of the story is much more centered on a mother's love for her child.  So if you are looking for a light-hearted romance or fast-moving action, this is not it.  I give Lie After Lie 4 out of 5 ramen.
