The Liar and His Lover (Season 1)

The Liar and His Lover (2017) is a Korean romance with a comic touch you can watch online on iFILM. At its center sits a gifted composer who buries his real name behind someone else's.

Kang Han-Kyeol (Lee Hyun-woo) writes hit songs but keeps his distance from fame, mining inspiration from the voices of strangers. Then he hears Yoon So-Rim sing — played by Joy of Red Velvet — and can't shake it. She falls for him without knowing who he really is, and every meeting becomes one more small lie that gets harder to hold together. The closer they get, the more the truth will hurt.

Directed by Kim Jin-min from Kotomi Aoki's Japanese manga, the show runs on music: live sets, the recording studio, the band where So-Rim tests her own voice. It's a quiet coming-of-age story about honesty rather than a high-stakes melodrama — easy to recommend to anyone who likes their K-dramas soft and unhurried.
