On September 6, the TV series "Lies of Lies" can already be watched in two episodes. This sixteen-episode TV series, after two episodes of the plot, can already let the audience peep into the leopard. This TV series starring Li Youli, Yan Zhengxun and Li Yihua and others is ostensibly a big war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law around children, but at a deeper level, it is the great motherhood that women show in the face of survival dilemmas.
"Lies of Lies" spreads out the plot in a suspenseful way, presenting too much sadistic content in the world, and then, the tone of the entire TV series eventually leads to a love story for children. Obviously, the ultimate thrust of this plot is still Hugo's "Les Misérables". If Hugo's "Les Misérables" is a religious way to confront the misery of the world, then the TV series "Lies of Lies" elevates love to a religion.
In the premiere of the play, the heroine played by Li Youli woke up and found herself lying in a pool of blood. And her husband has been stabbed to death several times. In the heroine's mobile phone records, the police found her diary of wanting to kill her husband, and found a record of how to kill her husband in the search records. These pieces of evidence were eventually submitted by the prosecution, and the female protagonist was convicted of homicide.
As the plot deepens, the heroine begins to recall this incident. She is pregnant and faces the domestic violence of her husband, who comes from a chaebol family. When the heroine hid out, the fierce husband still found the heroine and continued to commit domestic violence against her. In order to protect herself, the heroine pulled out the kitchen knife, but was violently beaten by her husband. In the end, the heroine was unconscious, and the next thing was not known at all.
Who killed the man who was in the midst of domestic violence became a mystery. The deceased was the son of a chaebol family, and the mother-in-law of the heroine controlled a super-large consortium. Therefore, the mother-in-law played by Li Yihua cannot accept the sudden murder of her son, and begins to mobilize her own strength to take revenge on her daughter-in-law who is already in prison.
At this time, the daughter-in-law is pregnant and eventually gives birth to a girl. The mother-in-law played by Li Yihua began to use her relationship to unite with the prison guards to persecute the heroine in various ways. The male protagonist, who is pregnant with justice, appears as a journalist and tries to visit the prison to understand the real situation at that time. The chaebol mother-in-law uses the prison guard system to obstruct it. Therefore, the truth on the heroine's side has not been known to the media.
On the other hand, the heroine's father began to help his daughter defend her rights, hoping that the hospital's medical staff would stand up and present evidence to the court that the heroine's husband had committed many acts of domestic violence against the heroine. However, the chaebol mother-in-law played by Li Yihua, powerful and powerful, directly destroyed the hospital's medical records and organized medical staff to testify in court. In the end, the case of the second instance of the female protagonist was rejected, including unjust imprisonment.
At this time, the heroine has given birth to a child and began to raise the child. However, according to the law, she can only raise the child for a maximum of 18 months, and later, the child is sent to a social welfare institution. The chaebol's mother-in-law appears and demands that the child be taken away and that the child become an adult under his own cultivation and can become the heir of the chaebol. Faced with the fact that the child has been living in prison for a long time and has asthma, the heroine is forced to give the child to her mother-in-law.
Time flies, the heroine is released from prison, to see the child, but found that the mother-in-law has sent the child to a place that no one knows. The chaebol mother-in-law believes that the heroine killed her son, and she should also let the heroine know what is the pain of losing her son. The content of the first episode of "Lies of Lies" ends abruptly here.
Later in the plot, the heroine begins a journey to find the child, and finally finds the child's whereabouts. In order to become the mother of the child again, she began to fall in love with the child's adoptive father, and eventually the truth was also true. With the help of the male protagonist reporter, the murder of the husband of that year gradually surfaced.
For this "Lies of Lies", the opening plot can be described as "Les Misérables". In the face of the domestic violence of the children of the chaebols, in the face of the revenge of the mother-in-law of the chaebols, the heroines are in a state of weakness, and their children have also become the targets of retaliation, and who killed the children of the chaebols is still a mystery. Even the chaebol family can destroy the evidence in the hospital, control witnesses, and contact the prison to persecute the female protagonist, transfer away the male protagonist (reporter) who wants to track down the end, and so on.
These sadistic contents, in the first episode of the plot, a brain thrown to the audience, I don't know if the audience can withstand the ruthless destruction of this fate. In the subsequent plot, the temperature of human nature begins to return. The heroine's love for the child, the male protagonist's pursuit of justice and truth, etc., have eventually become an effective force for love. If in Hugo's "Les Misérables", the ultimate confrontation with Les Misérables is religious love, then in "The Lie of Lies", it is this typical Korean drama love that fights Les Misérables.
However, in the past Korean love dramas, there are few such in-depth reality touches. This time, Korean TV dramas have taken the road of Korean movies, no longer superficial male and female love, but to raise love to the height of fighting against "Les Misérables". At the same time, such a story of who killed the children of the chaebol is full of suspense, and it also lays the necessary story preparation for the narrative tone of the entire TV series. With the deepening of the plot, I don't know what kind of surprise "Lies of Lies" can bring to the audience.
