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!

10 years have passed, but it is still a fresh drama, that is absolutely worth seeing
The topic is more relevant than ever: the way journalists tell the news, always having the truth at heart and not ratings and the spectacularization of events, especially the saddest ones.The only criticism that could be made is the expedient at the basis of the story, i.e. stating that one person in forthy-tree cannot lie since every lie causes hiccups... Anyone of us knows more than 43 people and none of them have continuous hiccups, so the claim seems a bit extreme, or at least the statistical numbers a bit excessive for a story that wants to talk about reality. Despite this premise, the whole drama is told in a fairly realistic and believable way.
Both actors impressed me greatly. Lee Jong Suk is always a safe bet, but this time I found Park Shin Hye particularly good and full of expressiveness. She not only looked stunning, but she also did a fantastic job as an actress, defying a lot of the criticism she has faced in the past.
Special mention goes to... the best first NON-kiss in dramas, as well as one of the sweetest goodbyes between Main Lead and Female Lead
Second special mention goes to... the scenes between grandfather and Dal Po in episode 4. Very touching and full of humanity

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.

One of the best!
Initially started this series a few years ago, but the stress induced by Inha's mom prevented me from finishing it. Her character's malevolence had a profound impact on Ha-myeong's life, shattered by a few callous words.After enduring the intensity of Vincenzo, I convinced myself to complete this show, realizing it wasn't as stressful. Regrettably, I should have finished it earlier; the experience was incredible. The casting was spot-on, with Lee Jong Suk's charm and Shin-hye's excellent portrayal of Inha. Boem-jo's character gave off Kim Woo Bin vibes from The Heirs.
The unique storyline, weaving Pinocchio elements with the media, showcased the dark side of entertainment. It shed light on media manipulation, emphasizing selective exposure and collaborations with powerful figures to conceal wrongdoing. Ha-myeong's character development from a shattered life to an exemplary reporter was commendable. Inha's mom also underwent positive growth, choosing to be the reporter she aspired to become.
Jae-myeong's presence was pivotal, providing Ha-myeong the strength to persevere. I also liked how Dalpo's father told stories to Jaemyeong when Ha-myeong was still a kid.
Yearning for more scenes of Yu-rae and Captain Hwang, their adorable chemistry left me wanting 😩 Did Captain Hwang truly have feelings for her?

The way they show the corruption that exists in midia makes us reflect if we should belive when we watch TV. I really love the way that the main characters are so fair and also funny.
The romantic parts are short but really cute(the way they take care of each other)
Pinocchio also have comedy with my Lee Yu-Bi and others actors.
Even at the last episodes they surprised me.
That drama made me reflect about a lot of things but also made me dream a bit(not just about love but also about job(in my case)) and laugh...So in my opinion that drama is very complet and have a lot of emotions and good things in just 20 eps so they are amazing.
Pinocchio is my favourite drama and will be difficult to found one that make me feel this way.

Quelle déception...
Il m'aura finalement fallu des semaines (si pas des mois) pour arriver à la fin des 20 épisodes de cette série.Si le pitch de départ est intéressant (une fille soufrant du syndrome de Pinocchio et qui ne peut donc pas mentir, qui souhaite devenir journaliste), l'idée est finalement plutôt reléguée au second plan et très peu exploitée.
S'ensuit une succession d'épisodes plutôt fades (hormis quelques bons passages de temps à autre, mais en quantité nettement insuffisante), qui tombent dans le larmoyant (au final, tout le monde pleure à tout bout de champ, ce qui a eu le don de m'agacer prodigieusement). Même l'actrice principale, que j'ai beaucoup apprécié dans "Memories of the Alhambra" ne parvient pas à éviter le naufrage, même si c'est elle qui s'en sort le mieux.
Les personnages secondaires ne sont pas beaucoup plus intéressants, emmêlés dans une intrigue sans grande envergure.
Je ne suis pas du tout contre un drama qui exploite habilement les émotions mais nous sommes ici en présence du stéréotype de ce qu'il ne faut pas faire (enfin selon mon avis personnel, bien entendu). C'est plutôt surjoué, prévisible et assez décevant en fin de compte.
Bref, une grosse déception me concernant (même si je suis encore tendre avec la note finale car je n'aime pas descendre un drama par plaisir) et donc une série que je ne recommanderais personnellement pas :-(
