Lee Min-ki (Beauty Inside) and Lee Yoo-young’s (My Fellow Citizens) upcoming political thriller, The Lies Within (formerly Everyone’s Lie), has released more still cuts of its main characters. The plot is centered around a woman, played by Lee Yoo-young, whose prominent lawmaker father suddenly dies. The husband that she married as a political alliance between their families also goes missing.
Despite the fact that their marriage wasn’t going well, she decides that she must find and save him. In order to pursue the truth, she jumps into the fray and runs for Congress. Lee Min-ki plays the jaded regional investigations detective who can’t pass by a suspicious death. Together, they team up and go after the hidden forces that have perpetuated these crimes.
The theme of The Lies Within is that “The greatest tragedy of this era is not the cries of evil actors, but the silence of good men and women.” When Lee Min-ki was asked about why he had chosen to take this role, he said that he liked this detective character because he didn’t have a great rank or extraordinary skills, and was a completely ordinary person. As such, the character is very human, and easy to relate to.
OCN Saturday-Sunday original series The Lies Within, co-written by Jeon Young-shin and Won Yoo-jung, and directed by Lee Yoon-jung, will begin airing on October 12.
