Lady and the Liar (C-drama, 46 episodes)

The drama is good only because of...

- The male lead character, Bai Zheng Qi, also known as Bai Lang (White wolf). 

He is a powerful, seemingly cold and well known businessman in Shanghai. His character is charismatic, and his devotion to his only true love, Jiang Xin will make every (woman)viewer fall for him.

He was previously surrounded by several women, however after meeting Jiang Xin and falling in love at first sight, his dedication was admirable. His cold heart seems to be melted when he meets the kind Jiang Xin. However, his selfishness ultimately caused Jiang Xin to pay a very high price..

- The Hook. 

You want to know what happen next, because of the villain character who is the second female lead. Her acting skills is good, but her character is too evil to be true :( Or rather, too cruel for me to digest it well.

To be honest, the only reason I hung onto this drama was because of the male lead. He was very well portrayed- always coming to the rescue when the female lead got into trouble.

I wouldn't recommend this to viewers who don't like watching...

- A lot of characters' die in a drama, because this drama has a really dramatic script with too much innocent victims and unjust deaths. My heart got really heavy towards the later episodes because too much deaths were happening in this drama. I also didn't like thinking about who will die next.

- A female lead that is downplayed to be WAY too naive, kind and dumb for the drama's own good. When I say this, I am not kidding. She is always trying to act based on emotions and 'kindness' to the point where her actions come across as unrealistic and sadly, dumb. And because she is deeply loved by Bai Lang, he is always the one being dragged in to save her. Of course, we love scenes where the hero who happens to be a charismatic and good fighter saves the day. However, her actions are sometimes quite unjustified in the drama..

-Loopholes...
There were several loopholes to the development that makes you question how the scriptwriter came out with the plot.

Plot: 3/5

Acting: 3.5/5

Hook: 4/5

Overall: 3/5

This whole drama is a wild storm.. in good and bad ways.
