'Liar' is a story in which two men and women make completely opposite claims about one memory and collide fiercely toward the truth.

An intense acting showdown between Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyun-jin is anticipated. The two reunited for the first time in 10 years since 'Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim'. They signaled strong acting synergy.
In addition, Ok Ja-yeon (as Lee Hwa-young), Im Sung-jae (as Park Seok-gu), Kim Ji-hyun (as Kang Ji-eun), and Lee Cheon-hee (as Kim Hyung-su) appear. Ok Ja-yeon takes on the role of female prosecutor and detective Lee Hwa-young.
Im Sung-jae plays Park Seok-gu, Lee Hwa-young's husband and UDT officer, Kim Ji-hyun plays Kang Ji-eun, Kang Ji-sun's older sister and anesthesiologist, and Lee Cheon-hee plays Kim Hyung-su, Kang Ji-yeon's husband and Kang Ji-sun's brother-in-law, lending their strength.
