Sweet Lie on AllMovie

Just how far will a determined, semi-obsessed young woman go with crazy tricks and Machiavellian schemes, to win back her first love? Such is the question that this sweet-natured romantic comedy from South Korea attempts to answer. The beautiful young Ji-ho finds herself seriously down on her luck, without a committed relationship or a job. Fate, however, intervenes when Ji-ho falls into the path of a car that just happens to be driven by her first and most heartfelt love, Min-woo. Sensing that opportunity has fallen into her lap, she feigns amnesia (the "sweet lie" of the title) and thus convinces Min-woo to take her into his home. This, in turn, gives Ji-ho the convenient opportunity to aggressively attempt to work her way back into Min-woo's heart sans his knowledge.
