| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezWhile not perfect, Love, Lies is a worthy discovery of a time and culture in Korean history not often seen on western screens. Its fine acting, heady romance and truly gorgeous visuals make it a pleasure to watch. |
| User ReviewAnne LThe film, despite its engaging plot-line and attractive cast, is clumsy and stilted at times. Placidly beautiful main actress, Han Hyo-joo, lacks the range to pull off the scorned woman role convincingly; at times, it even feels like the two actresses who play So-yool and Yeon-hee should swap parts. Still, the movie was engaging in its exploration of history and the dynamics of female friendship. Tears were shed at the finale, and the chemistry between Yoon-woo and Yeon-hee is palpable and electric enough to elevate the film from being a thoroughly tepid melodramatic affair. |
