Being with Eun-Young, Hyung-Woo is able to express himself and open his mind to the world. Eun-Young, on the other hand, marries Hyung-Woo for money and revenge, but with time starts to love Hyung-Woo.

Hyung-Woo's step brother Jung-Woo (Kim Yu-Seok) was born as the illegitimate of Chairman Kang. Jung-Woo first dated Eun-Young, but later left her and married the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Between Jung-Woo and Eun-Young there was also a son.

Even though Hyung-Woo's mother bribed Eun-Young to marry her son, Mrs. Shin kicks Eun-Young out. Because of this, Jung-Woo becomes ill and Jung-Woo's mother is forced to bring Eun-Young back.

Jung-Woo decides to take revenge against his stepmother and blames her for his father's death. Na-Gyeong (Lim Ji-Eun) is Jung-Woo's wife. She had an affair. After she finds out that she is pregnant, she learns of the past relationship between Jung-Woo and Eun-Young. Na-Gyeong also suffers a miscarriage. Na-Gyeong blames Eun-Young for the miscarriage ...

Park Min Apr 09 2023 2:23 pm The usual makjang route without anything new or interesting that would stand out. Which would be fine if it weren't 160 episodes. Aside from the repetitive nature of the genre, they were including a lot of necessary fillers that were meaningless. Apparently the writer was struggling too, especially with the autistic main lead Hyung Woo. He was introduced briefly and had some screen-time in the first 30 episodes then he almost was never on screen other than once every 5 episodes until they brought him back for the last 30 episodes. I guess writing for an autistic character would require more effort.

Sylvia Casarez Oct 19 2017 2:28 am I've just started watching this drama. It can be a little slow but u have to stay committed once u start. What has me committed is the young son of the Dept. Store owner. He's slow in speech and u may think he doesn't understand but I'm certain he'll snap out of it. At least that's what I'm hoping for. And I'm certain he wasnt born this way. The peoblem arose from his mother her drinking & taking her anger out on him after her husband left her. Will b interesting to see how it unravels ... yep a luv triangle..Since its 2 brothers in luv w the same woman. The actors as always have been picked to play the right part. Excellent acting...my opinion..u may thk differently. Most dramas of this type go totally all out w magnificent homes, clothing,the scenery. This one isn't.

Yukino Feb 10 2016 9:07 pm Love this drama very much.

nats Jun 07 2012 1:55 am jung ok died in final episode,yeong woo and eun yong live happily with bian

Vee Jan 29 2011 8:58 pm I'm American and just watched all the episodes back-to-back. This drama is AMAZING. I am in grief right now. To the other commentators: someone dies, but it's not who you think. You'll be crying the whole time, make sure you get some tissues. My eyes are so red right now. I want to know if this show won any Korean Emmy awards? It should have, if not. This is the craziest, best, most emotional drama I have ever seen. Wow.

mina Jan 27 2011 8:51 am Not many & not very famous :) But they are good.

mina Jan 27 2011 8:45 am Anyway there are so many nice Korean dramas. Better than every drama that we used to watch. I think White Lies was good drama. But I hope Farsi1 broadcast better Korean drama. My name is Sam-Soon & Couple Or Trouble were so amazing. Farsi1 used to broadcast 2 or 3 Korean daily drama. But now they are broadcasting Mexican drama more than Korean drama & they are broadcasting extended Korean dramas. If they want people to remain their viewers they should listen to viewers' wants. Next drama is BY MY SIDE. It's 144 episodes (25-30 min) & there are many famous Korean actors & actresses acted in this drama. It's good drama.

maziar Jan 26 2011 3:20 pm Can someone tell me whether or not Hyeong-Woo and Eun-Young got married finally? Did Jung-Woo marry Na-Gyung again? It is awful if it is the case!!!

maziar Jan 26 2011 3:14 pm Dear bibi:

Hi. Are you sure about the last episode? it is completely different from what I saw today on Farsi1 TV network!! I will appreciate if you can display. Thanks.

Somebody Jan 26 2011 12:06 pm @Aida Surrealist

Do you still need the soundtrack ?

setareh Jan 24 2011 4:00 am Me and my family are so curious abt the final epis. sad to know that Hyeong Woo is gonna... but all in all it was one of the best korean dramas on Farsi1.

zari Jan 20 2011 2:04 pm love this series white lie

AiDa-Surrealist Jan 19 2011 7:08 am Hi can anyone please give me a link for downloading the soundtrack of white lie which is playing in the ending credits of each part of this series... or helping me to know the vocal of that song PLEASE i would be sooooo thankful.

farid Jan 15 2011 3:40 am hi,its a very nice serial. i love kang jang woo so much.

amir Jan 05 2011 6:26 am my wife loves white lie so much , white lie is best drama ,i like to know what is kimchy?

bibi Dec 31 2010 11:29 am this is for karen Moore. the final episode is funeral of Hyeong Woo. Eun Young and Junwoo take his ashes to the see and spread it over the sea. She cries her heart out and make everyone cry. You can watch it on youtube. white lie/korea but I suggest don't, it is nerve wracking. Are Korean films like Indian films end in death and unhappiness. I have watched the final episode in USA version, I am hoping that this version doesn't end in Huwung. There were other characters in the story that deserved death, but the director wanted to stage war on the viewers nerves.

morvarid Dec 18 2010 6:12 am I love this film , and I think kang-hyung-woo is the best actor in this film. , and i like the song of this film.

Gaga Dec 09 2010 2:44 pm I Love white lies,, it touched my heart.. it is a delicate movie,, but is it like here in Korea that mother in laws are bossy an daughter in laws should work at home and make food and breakfast? or it is an old custom

marjan hejrani Oct 18 2010 12:13 pm please tell me what happned in last episode of white lies

Karen Moore Sep 30 2010 7:45 pm I loved White Lies, however, I did not see the final show. I had to work and no one would change schedules with me. Could you please tell me what happened in the final episode. I would greatly appreciate it. I know that Hyeong-woo was in the hospital not expecting to live after his mother pushed him over the ledge, Jeong-woo was going away and giving Eu-yeong their son, and he was getting a divorce. Please tell me what was the final episode. Thank you
