To quickly summaries the way I feel about this drama all I can say is.... I have rewatched this an unhealthy amount of times.
I specifically remeber getting into Asian dramas and seeing “Pinnochio” as a new series. It first caught my eye due to the otherworldly sort of cover because I thought it was a fantasy drama, which I hadn’t watched any of at the time. So I decided to give it a try and forgot everything I thought about it beforehand within the first few minutes.
From the first episode until the last you never know what’s going to be thrown at you and no matter what it is you’ll keep watching. The frustrating parts will fuel you to finish the series, and the warmhearted parts will hold you in place, reminding you of the good things within all the choas.
A “quick” note on the actors. Of course five years later I am now familiar with nearly every actor and actress in this drama however when I first watched Pinnochio that was not the case at all. Now I’ve watched so many other shows with each actor/actress I can say, each and everyone of them are just amazing. Lee Jong suk is great at every role he plays, it’s like he has a sixth sense for great roles. His character Dal Pol is very complex and gets pulled and pushed around in every conflict but he still powers through it. Every emotion is perfectly reflected in his eyes, body language and facial expression. The love for his “dad” and restrained love for his “niece” as well as his heartbreak when he finally connects with his brother are all so well done. I could list a hundred scenes that just blew me away but that’ll take a while. Each actor/actress bounced off of each other perfectly, creating great conflicts, humorous pairs and great family dynamics. Each character is unique and are driven by different things which the actors/actresses do very good to make clear.
In all honestly I can’t remember the OST at all but that’s because it’s been a while since my last rewatch and most of the time the music falls on deaf ears haha! Beside goblin and School 2015: Who Are You I cant remember any songs from anything I’ve watched so my opinion on the music will stay neutral :)
Overwall, this is an absolute classic and a must watch. I dont think it’s suitable for new kdrama fans as it’ll probably become boring to some however it is definitely crazy to not give it a go at some point!
