More, more, more from Lie To Me

171 April 26, 2011April 25, 2011

by javabeans

We’ve got a bunch of new stuff from SBS’s upcoming Lie To Me, including a teaser video that gives us our first glimpse at how Yoon Eun-hye and Kang Ji-hwan end up fake-married. Hint: It’s all her fault. (In the preview, she’s the one calling after him, “Yobo!” — the endearment reserved for spouses — while he mutters under his breath about the trouble she’s caused. Hee.)

Yoon plays Ah-jung, a lower-level civil servant with an everywoman kind of appeal — you know, the bumbling, lovable heroine so frequently seen in K-dramas, which Yoon does particularly well. (The blue-tracksuited stills all come from flashbacks into her days when she was studying to take the civil servant exam.)

On the other hand we’ve got Ki-joon (Kang Ji-hwan), a hotel CEO from a chaebol family who is decidedly NOT pleased about getting caught up in Ah-jung’s lie linking them together. The way he tosses her unceremoniously on the bed reminds me of the grumpy character he played in Coffee House, and I suspect Ki-joon will have that same contrast between his exterior chic hottie and his true inner crankypants.

Pictured below Kang in the following stills is new actor Sung Joon, who plays Ki-joon’s friendly, positive, honest younger brother Sang-hee. I’m guessing big bro missed out on all the nice genes, which went to easygoing friend-magnet Sang-hee instead. At least that’s what all the drama promises; it’s hard to pick out his supposed free-spirited good cheer in the photos below, where he’s looking more like the spoiled brat we’d expect of a rich younger-brother chaebol heir.

Then there’s the cameo from Danny Ahn (Runaway Plan B), pictured at bottom. Since he’s playing Ki-joon’s good friend, I suppose that makes him another Richie Rich type, but I find it cute that he looks more like an absentminded professor.

The drama premieres on May 9. My advice: Fill up on your sleep now! You might find yourself falling way short once the new lineup bursts onto the scene and overtakes our lives.

The Ramen Hair was a stipulation in the International Hotness Distribution Act which protects the equality of hotness among actors and actresses from different countries. In section 4.12 of the International Hotness Distribution Act:

"A nation which unfairly claims its share of admirers across the teenage and noona population must find a way to reduce the appeal of its performers, either by producing really sucky dramas with androgynous leads (see Section 1.1.2: The Making of MSOAN), the positioning of excess facial hair (see Section 1.1.3: The De-hot-izing of Cha Seung Won), or other undesirable styling which renders the actors/actresses on the same level as Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt."

I draw your attention to Section 1.1.4:

The lack of ramien (and any other type of) hair in aging stars -

Unfortunately among the aging stars, there exists a minority who suffer from a lack of hair on their heads, which may affect their confidence, hotness and star appeal among their viewers.

To ractify the problem, said stars are encouraged to try out ramien hair transplants.

The procedure is simple, cheap and painless.
CAUTION: KIDS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
Purchase a cup (or two if balding problem is dire) of ramien, apply a generous dash of UHU glue on pate, break off ramien into separate strands and stick onto pate immediately. In seconds, our senior stars will see the difference.... curly ramien locks, in a natural bright yellow hue.

Here's a revamped song for us:

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Reaper Ramen Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor drama addict, and I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it...

Correct grooming and maintenance of Ramen Hair Transplants now revealed!

1. Use of fruit- or vegetable-based shampoo and conditioner most preferred to encourage growth
2. For added bounce and shine, smooth with some olive oil...extra virgin is best
3. For darker highlights, spray some soy sauce
4. Don't forget the chili flakes and pepper bits for some texture and zing

sorry, guys! missed all of you, too. my youngest brother passed away three weeks ago. our family mourned his loss. will share more about this most "inspiring" and "insightful" event that our family has experienced in the coming OT :-)

for now, all i can say is death is good and reminds us of how short life is and how precious are the times we are given to share with our family and loved ones.

and you, guys, are like family to me, too. cant resist this ramen-hair craze going on here. you all made me laugh hard, thanks thanks thanks :-)

great to be back ;-)

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am glad we can bring some light. As stupid as we are, we do try.

I really am interested in your story, and am looking forward to hearing it on OT.

Lots of hugs and love, Samgetang!

samgetang, I'm so sorry. My brother died this winter and loss is truly a mixed bag.

pipit

April 26, 2011 at 7:25 PM

@Samgetang

Welcome back!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just told Jomo basically the same thing a few days ago when she asked how do we feel about 50.

Yes, death is a sure thing that'll come without warning. So, I just want to live my life and fill it with things that I won't regret when I reach 50 (If I'm blessed to reach it).

Thinking about how death could come at any moment always reminds me to be more patient, more loving and more accepting about people close to me.

And, yes again, death is in a way a very good thing. It serves as a very good reminder.

YY

April 26, 2011 at 7:51 PM

Oh Sam, so happy you're back! We missed you. So so sorry about your loss...*BIG BIG HUG* Feel that? With you in your pain. My mum died years ago and I still miss her every day. Life is transcient, but love and memories last for eternity.

April 26, 2011 at 8:33 PM

Samgetang,

My condolences to you and your family at the loss of your youngest brother.

It's good to read hope and optimism in your comment. Living our lives with the loss of those we love can be a very difficult time.

You have my humble prayer support.

YY

April 26, 2011 at 11:03 PM

Hm....can we substitute all 4 with organic homemade compost?
It's certainly fruit and veg based.
Duno about the bounce but it'd certainly add shine.
It'd certainly darken he he
It'd certainly add texture LOL

Imagine the smell as ramen haired grandpa struts slow-mo in the wind. All the girls would swoon. No kidding.

April 26, 2011 at 6:25 AM

This is the best teaser I've see out of 3 May dramas so far. I'm still waiting for 3 others.

Something that's interesting about this drama is the female character. Unlike the traditional Chaebol romance stories, she is a level 5 government employee. So it's not a rich guy, poor girl or rich girl, poor guy story. The guy is mega rich but the girl has no worries whatsoever with her prestigious career.

I don't think I've ever seen Chaebol drama before that had a female character so well off interacting with a mega rich guy. It would seem that more people would empathize with her if she was level 9 or level 8 employee. Being a level 5, she's already in top class in Korea and how will see two high class characters interacting. Most interestingly, I'm curious to find out why they insisted on making her an upper class character. It will be interesting.

Required fields are marked *

annie

April 26, 2011 at 11:14 AM

Is level 5 considered upper class? Interesting, I had no idea. I thought she was on par with a Shin Mirae.

But the stills of her from that event-gone-wrong show that maybe she's a bit of a klutz at work, so that's her flaw?

Required fields are marked *

hahaha

April 26, 2011 at 5:50 PM

Hi Laica. Levels 5 is considered a high position. Levels are as follows.

Level 1: Central Directors of government agencies, senior (vice head) level or head judges, senior managing level prosecutors, metropolitan area mayors, regional governors, Heads of committees, Central Head of police, Central Head of Police in Seoul, Central Head of Police Academy, Military officer with stars (generals), and etc.

Level 2: Managing directors of agencies, upper level ranking judges, ranking prosecutors, smaller city mayors, senior managing level for fire department, and etc.

Level 3: (Non general) military officers, directors of police force, fire departments, managing director of minor committees, Public prosecutor, and etc.

Level 4: Principals of elementary school, Chief of Police (brancy), lower level judges, Chief of Fire department (branch), and etc.

Level 5: senior level police officer (vice chief), lower level military officer, regional school principals, officer for government position, manager level at revenue services and etc.

Level 6: Vice principals at school, low level senior professional military officers (non military academy grads), regional vice principal or managers.

Level 9: police, military soldiers, fire department employees, and etc.
____

For levels 9 to 8, you need 2~7 years to be promoted.
For levels 8 to 7, you need 3~7 years to be promoted.
For levels 7 to 6, you need 4~11 years to be promoted.
For levels 6 to 5, you need 5 years of experience and testing process.

So for her age, she took an express lane to become level 5. It means she's extremely intelligent, and passed a very difficult test. She has a solid salary and great benefits deal.

Hope it helps.
