Truth Episode 1
Truth Starring Choi Ji Woo and Park Sun Young
A beautifully written drama about the nature of truth and love, Truth is the story of a deadly rivalry between two women. Lee Ja Young (played by uber hallyu icon Choi Ji Woo of Winter Sonata and Stairway to Heaven) as a poor, good-hearted student squaring off against her wealthy, ruthless classmate Lee Shin Hee (played by Park Sun Young of The Sons of Sol Pharmacy House).
Lee Ja Young and her father live in the basement of one of her wealthy classmate's families, for whom he works as a chauffeur. Although poor, Ja Young is a bright and driven high school student who consistently tops her class, sparking the jealousy of mediocre student and classmate Lee Shin Hee, whose house Ja Young lives in. When the college entrance exams roll around, Shin Hee's family, headed by her father a powerful senator, use a mix of bribes and threats to force Ja Young and her father into agreeing that Ja Young will take Shin Hee's test for her. As a result, Ja Young cannot take the test herself.
A year later, finally at college, Ja Young meets Jung Hyun Woo (Ryu Shi Won), the handsome and charming heir to a major company, who begins to fall in love with her. Unfortunately, Shin Hee has her sights set on him, and flies into a jealous fury. One night, the three of them go out for drinks, and on the way back, they get into a terrible car accident. Shin Hee, sitting in the driver's seat, wakes up while everyone else lies unconscious. She quickly switches places with Ja Young so that she will have to take the blame. In the wake of tragedy, the truth is blurred yet again...
A brilliantly layered exploration of lies and loyalty, Truth is considered a classic among Korean dramas, and was hugely successful when ai red.

Nicely paced and not too heavy on the emotions...not yet anyway! That guy is such a user and jerk. Loser! I hope the lead girl Ja Young finds out ASAP and dumps his sorry ass!

A great drama filled with mixed emotions. Choi Ji Woo is one of my favorite actresses and she doesn’t disappoint. The drama has some surprizing turns. It kept me interested throughout. Definitely recommendable!!!

It is a good drama. The story line is a little different. It is worth watching. If it had ended any other way I would probably regret wasting my time. However the writer gave a good, unexpected ending which the characters and story deserved. It was better than many of the newer K dramas.The acting was very good.

It felt like I was watching Stairway to Heaven all over again but with different actors except for the lead actress. It's a typical kdrama storyline where the main actress gets stepped on/abused by another female and at the end she stands up for herself to reclaim her man. Although I've watched these types of dramas many times, I still enjoyed it, mainly due to Ryo Si Won and his undying love for his woman.

This drama truly represented the worst and best of Korean dramas. Throughout the drama I was constantly annoyed with Ja-young never standing up and letting others walk all over her. This of course seems to be a mainstay in many Korean dramas but I hate it! What it all comes down to is that if she had spoken up in the beginning none of this would have happened! It came to a point that I had no sympathy for Ja-young since she wouldn't help herself. The rest of the drama had all the familiar things we come to know as a korean drama-I'm sure it seemed more amazing when it came out 10 years ago but now its only semi interesting and you should be able to find better things to watch. Just a note-I initially thought that the drama was older then it was due to the outdated styles. Korea is so behind in the times.
