Pinocchio

The first thing I wanna say is I really liked the fact that this story is created based on the journalism which is very hard to do now in this era. I found Pinocchio to have unique story line, compared to most of the Korean dramas. It was a very interesting to watch this show as it holds truth at the core of the story. The story shows us to what degree are reporters responsible for the facts they represent and the consequences the general citizens can suffer for the reporters. It shows clearly with great impact the reality and truth behind the media and news world, the power of words and how assumptions with no solid evidence can destroy someone's life completely. The drama is all about honesty and justice and how a band of reporters willingly investigate and report only the truth. This is one of the good facts that we all will want to watch pinocchio to bring justice in the journalism department. In addition to it, there’s nice intense chemistry between Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye and it makes the audiences instantly love this couple. Their love also shows the realism that everyday people go through. Their love shows the struggle of couples in terms of acceptance in society and the family. The way the writer represents the villains give pleasant surprises to the audiences and make them curious about the show. Overall this show is satisfying, lovable, interesting. <3 <3 <3

Addicting!

It's been a while that I've been so hooked on a kdrama as I was on Pinnochio. It has everything you might need good actors, good storyline, nice music and interesting plot.

There was a bit more preaching than I would like there to be and as per usual there were quite a few of the kdrama cliches but they were handled rather well.

I loved both Park Shinhye and Lee Jongsuk here but I think their chemistry was a bit lacking, they felt more like good friends rather than lovers, but this could be said to be due to their characters circumstances.

What I loved the most were complex family relations and respect the characters had both for themselves and for the ones they loved. There was a fair bit of drama stemming from lies but it was a good kind of drama, the FML refreshing honesty set the tone for the whole show and did not allow for the usual miscommunication issues between the leads, which I found to be a breath of fresh air amongst all the other kdramas.

I very much recommend the drama for everyone, but especially for Park Shinhye haters - she's cute here, her character is lovable and she adds great value to the character and whole show with her acting. And I dare anyone to complain about the kissing - both leads do a good job at it!

I see countless positive reviews out there and to an extent i too agree with majority of them but no matter from what angle i see through the plot of the story seems too hyped up to me

The only reason i was able to enjoy this drama to its fullest was because of the amazing cast who brought life to scenes which otherwise would have been bland, the character dynamic and the plot thickening was all fantastic. Even though in the end my heart was not full and satisfied, i still left with a lot of good memories and had a great time.

Once in a while there comes a drama which makes me think and appreciate life, There were some great lessons which were told to you or rather punched you in your face making me gloss through.
It was more of a character driven drama in my opinion rather than a plot driven. as the limelight were the complex relations of the characters with one another
Honestly i was bored seeing that they covered only news which were related to one others family members being the culprit it was disheartening

All in all the story itself is something that is not extra ordinary but the people associated with it are which indirectly makes this a must watch drama

Note- please excuse me if you think this was rude i have no intention of making it so.

Totally worth the watch, there’s was no overly cliche plot or stupid/annoying characters.
Probably the best series for LJS and second best for PSH after you’re beautiful.
Characters are funny and adorable.
There’s really no evil second lead or wavering leads, they were pretty solid in who they liked.
The grandpa and dad of in ha are hilarious they make it so much better.
Kind of slow at times but overall pace is great along with acting.
I didn’t like how dal po in a way blamed in ha for her mother’s wrongdoings like bruh really that’s just too much.
Anyways I still love my fav otp darling couple. 10/10

Cara... Pinocchio é simplesmente maravilhoso.
O elenco é simplesmente incrível! Cara... Shin Hye é linda e uma excelente atriz e junto com Jong Suk, os dois arrasaram... Shin Hye atuando como a In Ha foi incrível, aqueles soluços que ela dava a toda vez que mentia, além de ser engraçado, era fascinante. A personagem dela com certeza foi a melhor das melhores! E o Dal Po (Jong Suk)... cara, que personagem de da dó no inicio e no fim torcer pra que ele não vacilasse e fizesse as coisas corretamente (foi lindo)... Esses dois fizeram um espetáculo de perfeição!
Claro que o reconhecimento não irá só pra eles dois, como também, para a Jin Kyung (Song Cha Ok). Ô atriz linda e phoda!! Aquelas últimas cenas dela, foram incríveis! Ela trabalhou muito bem! Soube fazer &amp;quot;Fato e Impacto&amp;quot; (se é que me entende?!)
Yoo Bi (Yoo Rae), Young Kwang (Bum Jo) e Gyun Sang (Jae Myung), que excelente trabalho de cada um... Yoo Bi fazendo da sua personagem a mais cômica da série. Já Young Kwang fazendo a personagem dele um mimado que com o tempo teve que amadurecer para que as coisas fossem corrigidas, por fim, Gyun Sang, puts... a personagem dele foi o que mais me emocionou, carai...
Claro que tem mto outros personagens bons, mas esses que listei acima foram os que mais causaram e fizeram da série phoda e perfeita demais e por isso merecem meu reconhecimento, tanto para as personagens que fizeram, como também pela bela atuação... Escolheram perfeitamente o elenco. E por isso, mais uma vez dizendo... Pinocchio deixará muitas saudades <33

When I first started watching this drama, a friend of mine told me she had read some suggestions on how this drama was disappointing and I have to say, on first episode there is a long flashback that should have been shorter, yet it is essential for the whole plot. The story is well done, its well thought and there isn't any rush or any slow moment ( you know those moments in dramas where nothing happens and you're just there screaming because the charas are too 'ugh D:' ).
I was addicted since episode two, I watched the whole drama in two days because I couldn't stop. Plus, I like how they didn't focus only on In Ha and Deal Po/Myeong relationship, even if they were main characters and all ( one of the best couple on dramas that I've ever seen ) but also in family boundaries. How the love of a son can be strong and how the brothers loved each other unconditionally. it was really beautiful. And funny. And so so romantic. I highly think everyone should watch this drama!

Lies are Lies and I love how the screenwriter imagination in producing such a crazy way in ones lies. As always Lee Jong Suk is excellent as Ki Ha Myung. LJS is just a great actor all around and takes every character he plays in making that character his own. 20 episodes that kept me focused and not skipping or fast-forwarding scenes. He had great chemistry with leading lady Park Shin Hye. PSH is also a great actress and I loved how she made the hiccupping so real! Wouldn't it be great if truth can be told in this manner so you can tell who lies? I also felt good about the storyline with how they took down a few people who murdered again for power. I was very empathetic to the two brothers. Revenge is never good but someone didn't learn their lesson. As I always say, the storyline wouldn't have been a great storyline without the other main, support and guest actors/actresses. I was happy that LJS was able to do some martial arts but would have loved to see more.
