Well after "The Heir" syndrome I was really disappointed in Park Shyn Hye and K-dramas overall so I hesitated a lot when starting with "Pinocchio". However, right now I can say that my faith for K-dramas and the lovely Miss Shyn Hye has strengthened than ever before.
Such amazing plot ! The storyline just keeps getting better and better. The first episode might be intense and a little bit lengthy but please be patient because everything is not what it seems. There are cases so sensitive and acquires profound thoughts that I admire K-drama's boldness to disclose such matters. After all episodes, the message is clearly delivered: "There is nothing as precious as the truth". Ignorance is never a good thing. Each and everyone of us should always protect justice no matter what the "dark side" has to offer. What a powerful and meaningful message!
Aside from the awesome story, the cast is incredible. There is no character that I am able to hate. The main leads were portrayed perfectly by Jong Suk and Shyn Hye. Sure she cries a lot but we can relate to her misery and her kindness. Their chemistry was off the roof ! The 'third wheel' Bum Jo here is so adorable that I really hope this actor can get more attention and be recognized soon. Yoon Yoo Rae is definitely the cutest character in the drama hope they make a sequel for us to see her relationship with *no way I won't spoil the fun*. However, I was touched the most by the Choi family, grandpa makes me laugh and cry everytime. Romance sure is sweet but family bonding is what I treasure the most when I was enjoying the drama.
There are many reviews about this well-known drama but I sure hope whoever reads this could try giving the drama a chance and be moved by it (just like me :p). Thrilling scenes, hidden mystery, political matters, passion, youth, friendship, love, family, all are in perfect harmony here. However, I don't really want to rewatch this as I want to keep these feelings and lessons that a K-drama could teach me. Hope you guys get on this wonderful ride of Pinocchio !
*P.s: OSTs are wonderful. Not too impressive, but relatable esp while watching the drama. Enjoy it !
