Helwe w kezzabi - حلوة و كذابة

Review by: Chirine Yamout

The short:

Follows the life of Dalida, a pretty girl that constantly lies about her background, as she falls in love with famous singer Ramzy.

The long:

Another Lebanese comedy, that follows the life of Dalida, a beautiful liar, that lies about every aspect of her life, especially her background and where she comes from, which is a humble working-class family with 7 children. She wins a contest to have dinner with her favorite singer. While they both fall in love, it becomes harder and harder for Dalida to cover up for her lies which start to catch up to her. Just like most successful Lebanese series, the ending is summarized in a movie which shows as Dalida’s world crumbles, a plot twist that no one predicts. 

To watch or not to watch:

Of course, watch! This series is cute and funny, it also gives a small sneak peak on Lebanese society and the day to day life of the Lebanese people, with a pinch of Lebanese humor.
