I like those dramas that also have small complete stories in it every one-two episodes, and that stories are short, so that they finish within one-two episodes and don't pester me through all the drama. Wow yeah. I mean the reporters cases. I like it that they are also a bit detective. And I like how they solve the cases, the characters do have common sense. And that's so rare in korean drama that I just fell in love for the Pinocchio.
Lacks..
There is a tradicional love triangle in the drama. I'm tired of it. I'd like to see a drama where heroes would fall in love with more that one person and be okay and happy with that and wouldn't need to choose only one...
And that family bonds that bring so big hardships to the characters... is just an absurd. And the greater absurd is how they still respect this bonds and obey to this absurd.
LJS is emotionless in this drama, like as if he forgot how to act. He just stands, walks, poses here and there, stares, makes big eyes while a trouble scene, and that's it. Though his character is interesting.
All characters are okay or great. There is no any single character which I hate too much.

The only thing that touched me here is the Brother relationship well, heart wrenching enough... Another monotonous acting of LJS....
I love romantic comedies, but this one I felt eerie and awkward.... I just don't know why PSH always looks being raped/forced on romantic scenes....
The only scene that has impact on me is that: they were doing undercover with the expensive bag... I was thinking that time, I wish they also make news why Prada, Chanel, LV etc are expensive.... hahahah..
Music score, Okay... But nothing left remarkable OST (and that's what Im looking for a Kdrama!)...
The acting is anime-like, some boring and dragging moments, that I'd rather do some house cleaning while my TV is on tuned in to this show..
Well, bravo to PSH and LJS tons of fans, that they joint force to put this on top... But im not re-watching it again....

I personally think that this drama would be better if they would have been able to make sure that this drama was more able to understand.The story is good its just that the acting was a little to much for the whole story and not serious enough to give you that good drama
The music was great and very nice to listen to and the only thing that made me drop this was the first few episodes.

The twist and dynamics of the characters are amazing. Super addicting to watch.

Once again my only issue is the dragging of the plot at the beginning of the end.
But what a great main couple, as they both hold their own!

But since i have watched healer, i think healer is better.
However, pinocchio also has a good plot. the main brother's acting is good, park shin hye acting needs to be improved here. I don't know what to say anymore aside of preparing yourself to watch this with tissue paper to wipe your tear in the beginning of the episode.
Anyway, very recommended!

Everyone is connected within six Degrees for separation- mathematics of Fate - Kevin becon
This show brilliantly exposes the harsh and ugliest sides of our society, showcasing how humanity can sink to new lows for selfish desires. It resonates deeply, especially in a world where social media can turn into a dirty game.But amidst the chaos, there is this beautiful relationship between an adoptive father and son that had me in tears(almost ten times!) This father’s unwavering love, refusing to dissolve the adoption, highlights a bond often overlooked in real life, where adopted children can feel discarded as soon as biological kids enter the picture.
Lee Jong Suk shines in his role; this was my first time seeing him as a lead, and I was thoroughly impressed. I adore male actors who can cry real tears instead of the exaggerated “I’m pretending to cry” faces. Major credit goes to the scriptwriter for weaving the story together like a stunning necklace, with suspense unfolding gracefully in every episode.
the comedy sprinkled throughout, ensuring there were no dull moments. Kim Hae Sook and Jin Kyung delivered exceptional performances, adding depth to their conflicting roles.
One more highlight was the opening soundtrack—it’s an absolute banger! While I did find the title misleading, as Pinocchio herself had little to do with the main story, it didn’t diminish my enjoyment. Overall, this show is a perfect 10/10. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mix of heart, humor, and thought-provoking themes!

The plot was very interesting for this drama. It was SOOOOOO SAD and amazing how everything went and the truth behind everything. I feel like I wanna watch the news everyday now lol. Overall it was sad but VERY INTERESTING.
Now there love story was just........unbelievable. How everything went to be and how they were destined to be together. It was so cool. LJS and PSH did an amazing job for everything. And not only them but everyone else as well. They were perfect ????????????????????????????????
????*WARNING*WARNING*WARNING*????
I fell for LJS in this drama. This is the 3rd drama I've watched with LJS in and my heart already fluttered bc of him when I watched "doctor stranger" but I was.....ummm......denying it bc I didn't wanna betray my oppa(someone) but I just couldn't. And u wouldn't call this betrayal right???? It's just.....um......I'm sharing my love yo one more person. ????????????. SHARINGS CARING. As u all know.

Light on the tropes, but alot of crying, Some romance. Good Character growth
I watched it & I bought the dvds (which is rare for me.) Awkward, unimpressive start that was heavy on the drama.I was pleasantly surprised that the story had the characters showing depth, introspection & evolvement. There was just enough romance ( & a happy ending) & I was glad to see that the side characters didn't create extremely uncomfortable love triangles (or leave you conflicted about them not being chosen by the leads.) There also was not a load of K-drama tropes. Nor did they throw an endless pile of set backs to keep the story going. A few times I felt boredom setting in but the story mostly progressed at a good rate & I really liked the resolution they gave the characters. The soundtrack did not stand out. The acting was decent. The actor's chemistry was OK. You will want a few boxes of tissues nearby....when the guys cried it was more convincing than when the girls cried. (and there is alot of crying !)
the soundtrack really could have been better.
the ending was too abrupt.
