“Love, Lies” plays upon the decaying dichotomy orbiting the two women as they vie for love and validation against dignity and betrayal. Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 10/31/2020

Though let down by its routine love triangle narrative, Love, Lies has a lot going for it, and is a superior and really quite gorgeous-looking Korean period drama Go to Full Review Diva Velez TheDivaReview.com 06/15/2016
3.5/5
While 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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

May 23 A very sad and a heart breaking movie... See more harsh c 09/24/2021 Watchable story of a woman triggered by jealousy into sociopathic behaviour. The acting seems melodramatic at times, but not as bad as the handful of Korean films I've previously seen. The main theme paints a negative picture of love which didn't resonate with me, so I wouldn't recommend it, despite the fact I watched it to the end. See more 07/30/2016 The 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.
