Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma

As a child, Ki Ha Myung’s (Lee Jong Suk) life was torn apart by the media: his firefighter father was accused of killing his team members, and his devastated mother jumped off a cliff, trying to take Ha Myung with her. However, Ha Myung survived, rescued by an old man with memory loss who renamed him after his own deceased son. Now named Choi Dal Po, he grew up with his “niece” Choi In Ha (Park Shin Hye), a girl the same age as him who suffers from "Pinocchio Syndrome," which causes her to hiccup uncontrollably whenever she tells a lie. As adults, they end up hired as reporters for rival news stations, navigating the cutthroat world of broadcast news, and encountering ethical dilemmas and the tragic consequences of biased reporting while also working through their burgeoning feelings for each other and the dark secrets of their pasts.

The Can't Lie Team

After overcoming a difficult childhood, Jang Hye Sung (Lee Bo Young) finally succeeds in becoming a public defender. However, she sees her job purely as a way to make money, and tends to push people away with her blunt, jaded personality. Her outlook changes, though, when she unexpectedly runs into high school student Park Soo Ha (Lee Jong Suk) who claims he can help her. Soo Ha developed a strange ability to read people’s minds through eye contact after his father’s murder ten years prior – and teenage Hye Sung, who also witnessed the incident, eventually put the murderer behind bars. Though initially reluctant, Hye Sung allows Soo Ha to stick around, and his ability gives Hye Sung additional assistance in the courtroom. However, when Soo Ha’s father’s murderer is released, Hye Sung and Soo Ha are faced with their most dangerous situation yet.
