| In the year 2018, Mok Sol-hee, a liar hunter and a fan of Manchester United, successfully finds out who passed the information to her client's rival gang. While heading to Gwanghwamun, she passes by a pedestrian (Kim Do-ha as will be later found out) who is holding a blood-stained jacket. The next day, she meets Do-ha on the bus but does not remember him and helps him ward off a man that claimed he was cheating on her girlfriend. Do-ha is surprised that she believed him he did not cheat and Sol-hee tells him that she can hear lies. Then, five years later, Sol-hee solves another case and now has its own café where she meets her clients, as well as a coworker Cassandra and a bodyguard Baek Chi-hoon. Do-ha is now a famous music writer constantly wearing a mask that only his closest co-workers have seen in person, including Sha On, who brings him the award he won. A reporter manages to take a picture of him and find his home, forcing him to move to another apartment. Coincidentally, there is another man wearing a black mask in the new neighbourhood harassing women at night. This leads to a misunderstanding and just as Do-ha is about to have his mask taken off, Sol-hee announces he is not the right person. Do-ha remembers her. | ||
| 2 | August 1, 2023 | |
| The real harasser is found. Do-ha is relieved and starts asking Sol-hee if she remembers him. For her to recognise him, she hints that he should take of his mask, but he does not and just leaves. He, however, now lives the next door to Sol-hee. Sol-hee's mother is a con artist, and Sol-hee constantly destroys her plans. Do-ha is also a pianist in a jazz club, where he does not wear a mask, but sunglasses. At night, Sol-hee watches a football match and also wakes up Do-ha. They both watch the same match, however they are fans of different clubs that play in the game. Their food gets delivered at the same time and only then they realize they are each other's neighbour. The next morning, Chi-hoon accidentally damages Do-ha's car while trying to take a picture with it, but Do-ha did not mind it that much. Deuk-chan, the CEO of J entertainment for which Do-ha works and a close friend of his admits to Moo-jin the rumour that Sha On is seeing Do-ha, which Moo-jin records and then blackmails him to send it to news media unless he can meet with Do-ha. Sol-hee sees Deuk-chan and Do-ha together in front of the complex and thinks that Deuk-chan is a creditor since they switched cars. Next day, Moo-jin comes to Sol-hee as a client so she would help him prove that Do-ha is a liar and plagiarises other songs. However, Do-ha only speaks the truth, which makes Moo-jin angry, forcing Do-ha to drink alcohol, and at the end, spraying a can of coke into his face. Sol-hee, however, did not see his face as she was hiding in a secret compartment. As Sol-hee comes home, she finds Do-ha drunk in front of the building. Because of the coke stains on his shirt she finds out he is Do-ha. She wants to help him, but her temptation to remove the mask wins over. | ||

| Do-ha wakes up as Sol-hee tries to put the mask back on and is initially very concerned, but later does not mind that much as she still does not remember him nor tells him that she knows he is Do-ha.

Then, a strange man appears, asking Sol-hee to use her phone and give money for the cab. Sol-hee, knowing he speaks the truth, helps him while Do-ha thinks she is mindlessly helping anyone.

Sol-hee's mother comes to Sol-hee's apartment hoping to get money, and Do-ha overhears everything. Do-ha also overhears that Sol-hee is going on a blind date, not knowing this is a date of one of her clients. During the date, Sol-hee reminds herself of a time when she used to date Kang-min, but they later broke up because he lied to her. After the date, she goes to the jazz club where Do-ha plays. She gets drunk and raises her voice when one of the former client's dates finds out she was not the relative she was claiming to be then. Do-ha steps in, but he forgets to put on his mask.

Reception edit
Pierce Conran of South China Morning Post gave the show a five star review, while praising the chemistry between the leads. He also added "the show plays around with people's expectations, and it's a cute fantasy drama."[29] Joan MacDonald of Forbes praised the cast performance, saying: "Kim and Hwang make an appealing couple in the fun fantasy drama, while exploring what it means to be honest".[30] Tatiana Hullender of Screen Rant opined that "Korean dramas have increasingly seen global success with dystopian and supernatural genres, such as in shows like Netflix's Squid Game and Hulu's Moving, romantic comedies have always been the bread and butter of the industry, and the show gleefully continues this tradition, albeit with the fantastical twist of protagonist Sol-hee's ability to hear lies". During its time of airing the show, quickly became Viki's most-watched program worldwide.[31] Bhavna Agarwal of India Today gave the show a five star review while stating "The romance plot is organic and the chemistry between the leads is palpable, both So-hyun and Min-hyun share a visible comfort onscreen and their individual character arcs are also intriguing."[32]
