If you want a Korean drama that mostly stays in the romantic corner from start to end, for a Korean drama, that is, you could do much worse than Lie to me. The story's central theme revolves around the female protagonist, Kong Ah-Jung, who's a government worker at the Tourism Board, ie a not very glorious job, and the rich and eligible bachelor Hyun Ki-Joon, who is the president for a great hotel company. The key moment which drives the rest of the story, is when Ah-Jung, pressured by her married peers, lies to them that she is married to Ki-Joon. Admittedly, it all starts of as a misunderstanding (of course), but then you can guess what happens along the way. The 16 episodes is handle with just the right amount of drama and humour and romance, and the clumsy and charming Ah-Jung is really heart-warming, and I like how the female star is allowed to be portrayed all along as a more whimsical and "real" character than you could expect from the often superficial Korean media. Also, they actually let one of the "bad guys" (no, I wont say whom) to evolve during the story in a way that you don't see to often anywhere in the world in these kind of romcom's.
