Listen "49. A Life Built on Lies"
Episode Synopsis
We all lie whether it’s to achieve a goal or a white lie. But some people lie more often than others and sometimes it gets out of hand. Like Tom Ripley in Patricia Highsmith’s novels, some even enjoy the thrill of it. In history, there were famous people who turned out to be pathological liars and there are many books and movies about this trait of human being. Korea also had a few public figures whose life turned out to be all lies. It’s similar to Anna Sorokin, whose story is made into a Netflix show Inventing Anna. The fictional character in this week’s Korean drama is also Anna although that is not her real name. She is despicable yet evokes sympathy. Is it because she is not a psychopath liar or because we secretly wish we could live the life we want by lying and never get caught?[Movies and TV Shows mentioned in this episode] Through the darkness(2022),Island(2022),Single Rider(2017),Squid Game (2021),Mr. Sunshine (2018),Hospital Playlist (2020),Prison playbook (2017),One Spring Night (2019),The Heirs (2013)
