My Lovely Liar Episodes 13 and 14 Musings
Yoon Ji On did a great job portraying the complex emotions and motivations of Deuk-chan in My Lovely Liar.
Concealing his true intentions, viewers were made to believe that he was just protecting his younger brother. Thus, it was a good twist executed to wrap up the main conflict of the series.
It was also a good call to incorporate same-sex attraction in the story especially since obsessive love was considerably highlighted in the narrative.
The blast from the accident looks heading in the direction of Sol-hee also freeing herself with her strange ability.
Rightly paced, My Lovely Liar has covered all the bases before its finale week. It just needs to frost the story more with sweet moments from the main leads! And we’re definitely ready for them!
