Pinocchio Episode 3 Reactions
8 years later
1.We open to Dal Po/Myung who has a vivid dream that his family is alive, but it is clearly not real because In Ha is there as his niece. In the real world, In Ha tries to wake him up but he snuggles against her skirt, causing her (in my opinion) to overreact by bashing him in the head. (This has to be a cultural difference in Kdramas I consistently see girls hitting guys whenever a guy unintentionally brushes against them I don't know if this is to show she is so pure she defends herself by beating on anyone who might smear her honor or what but it is annoying).
2.Elsewhere, assistants to Manager Song (In Ha's mother) learn that Manager Song has a daughter who made it so far in interviewing BECAUSE Song is her mom. Everyone was shocked she had a daughter. She is known for being ruthless.
3.Back at home, Da Po it seems has a reputation for being a Cassanova (because he is in love with In Ha). He leaves to take her to her interview (its a secret to her father but she is interviewing at the same place her mother works; she's so excited). Dal Po forgets his wallet, and her father finds her photo inside (they relocated to the city FYI because their farming business failed, her father runs a taxi service and Dal Po is the driver).
4.Meanwhile, we learn that Manager Song is extremely popular and is on her way to becoming the primetime news anchor. Her personal assistant is very critical of her because while she is known to be legendary and extraordinary, he dislikes the fact that she does anything to increase her ratings, including twisting the truth by exaggerating how bad things are. He believes she is the reason their station has a bad rep.
5.Meanwhile, In Ha gets a hairstyle--she wants to look like her mom. She receives a text from her mother--the first one after 13 years of her one-sided attempts to contact her--and she is so excited and happy she bursts into tears. (It should be noted that Dal Po has slandered her mom to her for 13 years, making her angry and telling him he needs some evidence first)
6.In a flashback, we learn that Dal Po gave up a chance to attend college so In Ha could (the family could only pay for one) because he said he wanted to enlist in the army. In the present, her father realizes this must be related to his feelings for In Ha....
7.Meanwhile, In Ha is interviewed by a few people, including her mother. She is excited and is any comment related to her similarity to her mother makes her excited on the inside. But very quickly her mother fails her, proving to the others that a Pinocchio cannot be a reporter because they cannot lie. She makes her undergo a test (an undercover scoop) which humiliates In Ha and hurts her. She fails the interview and waits all day before she sees her mother. She calls her phone and confirms this cold woman is her mother, and tells her she has wanted to talk to her for 13 years.
8.Her mother hugs her, and she immediately is happy--only to whisper in her ear an apology and tells her that she has not thought of her once in thirteen years. Ouch.
9.Outside, a devastated In Ha texts Dal Po (who watches her) that everything went well. He respects her wish to be left alone but later picks up her mother as a faire. He reveals his connection to In Ha, as an adopted uncle, prompting her to demand he let her out...
10.In Ha returns home, takes all of her books and leaves....
Side Note: Dal Po bumped into a car. It is owned by his older brother. he leaves his number. His older brother texts him and tells him not to worry (a co-worker tells him he is stupid) and his brother overhears a group of drunk men, one of who points out that he lied to them about the fire, and the chief, to protect them (it's the factory owner and real fire setters from 13 years ago) but one of them is burned and they go to the hospital before they can talk...
11.Dal Po tells her mother, essentially, to watch out because he is going to prove her wrong (and basically get revenge) she still does not know he is Myung
12.He returns home, gets his wallet, and her father keeps the photo telling him his girlfriend would be jealous (Dal Po plays dumb; I feel like her father is sending a message to keep this relationship platonic)
13.Everyone panics because they cannot find In Ha. Dal po is triggered because of his mother, and he finds her. They agree to be reporters together (he also read all of her books).
Side Note: She called a guy, who I do not know, and yelled at him for hacking her phone and sending the message, pretending to be her mom. she hangs up as he apologizes to a dead line
Side Note: a random wealthy boy, whom she's been texting for a while, is interested in meeting her ( I don't know how he knows her)
Comments: I think it is interesting that Dal Po who is so interested in honesty lies to everyone in this series. I am interested in her mother and wonder if she is interested in protecting her daughter from becoming a ruthless person like herself.
My other issue is how Dal Po came to arrive at the conclusion that he wants to become a reporter. Why not help In Ha achieve her dreams? Why wouldn't a studio think it awesome to have reporter who couldn't lie? It's like a gimmick? Trust our news, our reporter can't lie! See gimmick. Sold.
OK. I'm done. Because I really enjoyed this episode.
It's hitting all the emotional buttons. From the truth of In Ha's mom finally revealing itself to her. Though I'm sure she knew something was up. She was probably more upset with herself then her mother. To the amazing interactions between In Ha and Dal Po. They not only have chemistry, but they're so easy with each other. I love that In Ha doesn't see Dal Po as a love interest. She does truly think of him as her Uncle. But then I love how Dal Po keeps up the act of just being an uncle, and hiding his pining for In Ha.
What will her father do? He's added up all the fact. Will the mysterious fake mom texter be a contender for her affection once he meets his Pinocchio girl? (What an adorable rich mom!! She's cute. Not evil.) And I only mention wanting a love triangle because it's obvious with dramas anymore, and this is the people who brought us the love triangle from I Hear Your Voice. Um, how could I not be excited about that.
All these weaving stories! How many brush ins will the Dal Po and his brother have before they meet? Will the brother solve the mystery of their father and the true events. How will all this characters meet and interact with out knowing? It's just an amazing setup and I love it. While I'm not overly thrilled about Dal Po becoming a reporter, I will hold back my reservations. Things are adding up nicely and I do love the idea of Dal Po getting his revenge by becoming a reporter. It's kind of cool.
