A very rare gem

I went into this drama expecting very little from it and came out very happy and content. In short this is one of the best dramas I have ever watched. The story was very good and the drama never even for a moment got boring for me.

The plot was very well made. Even though the name and concept is Pinocchio the drama doesn't rely on it too heavily to move it forward instead it's just a trait that makes the interactions with the female lead a bit more dynamic and fun to watch. The concept of Pinocchio was there, but it was by no means overwhelming like other dramas where these type of unique syndromes are overused. The plot is more aligned towards the concept of news reporters and their search for truth in the mass of lies. This drama has some youthful feel to it. It's also very emotional. But they made it very balanced and this was one of the biggest reasons for this drama being so good in my opinion.

Every one of the casts, main leads and support, did amazing job and made the drama so much more enjoyable. The dynamic between the main leads was cute and beautiful and they made it look like that they were really in love. The romance was big part of the plot but it didn't seem overwhelming or forced. Even though the relationship between the two leads was a bit unique but their acting made the awkward situation very ignorable.

The supporting roles had good character development and made it feel like they really grew as the drama went on. The supporting characters also had good screen time and their interactions were more than just being there for comedic relief, they had their own purpose in the drama.

The one thing that was lacking in this drama is music. The music in this drama wasn't very noteworthy but I actually didn't notice the lack of good music before writing this review. This goes to show that when the story and overall drama is good you don't need flairs to fill up the flaws.

It was unexpectedly a very very enjoyable drama and I liked it very much. I regret not watching it before but am also happy that I watched it now when good dramas are so rare. If anybody is reading this review and is wondering whether to watch it or not then please watch it. I hope you like it.
