Pinocchio was the first kdrama that I've ever watched and made me realize that I've been missing out all my life.
I have to admit that at first I had to get used to things a little bit but from the moment it happened I did nothing but enjoy the show. The characters were amazing and interesting. Some of them are still very high on my list of characters that i like the most. The characters were given some pretty nice development which I'm very greatful for. The story was amazing as well. Although It didn't explain everything that I'd have wanted to know but aside from that I can't really complain.
Not long after I finished it, I made a friend watch it with me. It was her first korean drama too so thanks to Pinocchio, both me and my friend became huge kdrama fans. I'd sincerely recommend this drama to anyone who finds the summary even a little bit interesting.

new healing method dropped???

Damn, I had no idea you could heal someone's finger by sucking on them :0 .....Would recommend! ... the show.. not the finger sucking... D:

No, but seriously, this show has some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. It made me wish I was an artist so I could capture how beautiful everything is! I couldn't help but stare at everything. It really stole my heart. I loved all the bicycle scenes, scenes in Hira's house - and as painful as it was I thought the scene between Hira and Koyama, talking out their feelings was.... 10/10 chef's kiss.

As for the story and the characters; I guess I got exactly what I was expecting. If you watch japanese content you can guess what's waiting for you in this series. Although in the last episode, I got the impression that there's more to this show than I thought. Seeing things from Kiyoi's perspective really changed things for me. It showed that eventhough the two boys are in love with each other, they see reality, themselves and each other very differently. It was very refreshing thing to see the way Hira's idealized reality and Kiyoi's colder, more rational reality crashed with each other in episode 6 until they both finally saw each other what they really were. Unfortunetly, that is where the show ends and I don't feel like they got together in the healtiest way possible but I'd like to think that they will both improve and will have an amazing and long lasting realtionship with each other. There's always room for improvement imo!!

For now, that's all!<3

A satisfying ending to their story

Not going to lie, I was super nervous about this movie because I didn't know what to expect. I really wanted to see their relationship mature and I'm happy to say that I got just that. Even though Hira still isn't the most confident person, this movie showed us that he has potential and that he can become a King too! I thought that was such an important moment and I loved that Noguchi played such a big role in that. There were a lot of cute and hot moments which is always a nice addition but for me, the other interesting part was that they don't fight with each other like they did in previous seasons. It shows a lot of growth and I fully believe that they can only get better at communication at this point. There was still angst between them but that's to be expected, in my opinion. We can't have a movie without angst, right?
And lastly, I want to mention how incredibly wonderful the cinematography was! They just can't miss. They said we are going to make the most aesthetically pleasing movie and they did it like it's nothing to them. I was once again impressed by the beauty of the scenery. When they started looking for new places, I was SO SAD because I didn't want them to leave that house... I'm emotionally attached to it... so I was very happy that in the end, they ended up not moving out. That's their home and I want them to live there for the rest of their lives<3

"To take revenge is to become a monster."

"A monster is what you are."

I'm not really into the whole gang/mafia thing, but I do like the revenge trope, especially if it's a woman carrying it out. This drama was probably one of the biggest surprises for me. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Although it is quite short, I thought that 8 episodes were perfect. There were twists and unexpectedly likable characters that I fell in love with. The cast was amazing, I loved all of them!! Fight scenes deserve to be highlighted because they were very well choreographed. I watched many dramas where the fighting scenes were kinda lame and not very exciting but this is not one of those.

Spoiler for the ending but: I felt like this Jiwoo did not really achieve anything at the end. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that she did what she did but... What did she gain? She was totally alone by the end. The thought of that made me quite sad. I wanted a happy ending for her or at least something close to it. It didn't feel like a good ending. Maybe if they didn't kill [redacted], it'd have been different:(( My heart just breaks for her. I guess people could say that "this is more realistic" or that "revenge is a bad thing that's why it can't lead to happiness" and to that, I say: no. Bad things happening to bad people is the best concept and it should not cancel out others' happiness.

All in all, this is a great drama. If you are searching for something that is more serious and bloody, this could be a great choice! 9/10<3
