Mok Sol Hee possesses a unique ability to discern lies, a gift she considers a curse. Because of this, she has trouble trusting people, leading her to cross paths with Kim Do Ha, who vehemently claims his innocence in a murder case.
My Lovely Liar has been building tension around the death of Kim Do Ha’s ex-girlfriend, Choi Eom Ji. Despite his claims of innocence, many still suspect Kim Do Ha of her murder. However, the truth began to unfold in the recent episodes. Cho Jae Chan, played by Nam Hyun Woo, confessed to the murder, revealing a love triangle that ended in tragedy. He claimed to have accidentally killed Eom Ji after she spurned his advances. As evidence, he presented a ring that matched one found next to her body.

The ‘My Lovely Liar’ plot thickens
However, Detective Lee Kang Min grew skeptical when inconsistencies appeared in Jae Chan’s story. With Sol Hee’s unique skillset, they discovered that Jae Chan was not the true culprit. Instead, the plot thickened as they unearthed a deeper conspiracy involving Jae Chan’s older brother, Cho Deuk Chan (played by Yoon Ji On), the CEO of J Entertainment and Kim Do Ha’s close friend.
In a heart-stopping moment, Sol Hee found a Polaroid in Deuk Chan’s office, hinting at his feelings for Do Ha. The revelation that Deuk Chan had feelings for his best friend, Kim Do Ha, was a twist few viewers saw coming. The drama reached its climax when Deuk Chan, confronted with the truth, suffered a panic attack and was apprehended by the police. However, in a desperate escape bid, he met a tragic end in a car accident.

Viewers took to social media to express disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. The revelation that Deuk Chan harbored an unrequited love for Do Ha for over fifteen years was a twist that left many speechless. This plot twist highlights a growing trend in K-dramas, where non-BL (Boys’ Love) series introduce queer storylines. However, the portrayals of these characters often end tragically, leaving viewers longing for more positive queer representation. – K-Pop News Writer
