Sindromul Pinocchio Episode 2 Reacţii
Hers is my in-depth review:
1.Dal Po essentially resolves to never go anywhere near a television. Clearly it has changed since then. This episode leads the viewer to (I think) to learn what happened to make this change.
2.We walk through a typical day in the lives of Dal Po and In Ha. It is extremely cute. She must refer to him as Uncle at home to maintain the pretense for her grandfather and unfortunately has no bike but he does (this is not explained why). He pulls her to school on a cart, and just as I was wondering what kind of teenager would do something so embarrassing, she gets out once they are out of site of their home (clearly an act). She jogs to catch the boat to school, and is scolded every day for holding everyone up. It seems part of a daily ritual is for In Ha to challenge his reason for hating her and he always replies, without any hint of emption, that she is his sworn enemy. Well there you have it.
3.Chan Soo, the school genius, gives her his old bike (he is so clearly in the friend zone). As she rides it she intends to splash water onto Dal Po but instead splashes the paper his carrying (which happens to be her career selection paper--illustrating her kind of luck). She has no idea what to do, and Dal Po cooly reminds her that Pinocchio's have a 6% chance of employment (how sad). She can't be a lawyer, she can't be an actress. What can she do?
4.At this time the school announces that they will send their smartest student to be on a quiz show, and the winner gets 30 million won (currently, that is about 26,500 U.S. dollars). Everyone believes that Chan Soo will be the one, and although he deflects this he very clearly is confident that he will win. Later that day, he gives In Ha a bell for the bike and announces if he wins he will confess to her on national television before running away (gentlemen, I caution you to never do this, no matter how confident you are). This is her first love confession but it did not leave her with butterflies, instead she feels indigestion (LOL)
5.That evening she balances on her head. It seems she does head stands whenever she is stressed out. This is a peculiar habit, and Dal Po even remarks she is odd. (Naturally we think it is endearing). Faculty grade the papers and we learn that In Ha is very smart-she scores a 92. Chan Soo scores a 96, and the guy nicknamed Zero because of his poor grades scores a 100.
6.Out of envy, Chan Soo starts a rumor, and suggests that Dal Po cheated because how else could someone with such bad grades do so well. The rumor spirals out of control. People begin to make up lies about his past, that he is a bully, and everyone essentially begins to call for him to drop out. Finally, his own teacher accuses him and tells him to confess. He refuses. Dal Po asks why he should defend himself (just like when he was faced by the reporters as a kid) when he has done nothing wrong. His teacher reasons that since he is the source of the rumor, he should prove himself innocent. To prove a point, he tells his teacher he will start a rumor about him and another teacher having an affair and puts it on him to prove his innocence. His teacher asks why he should be the proving his innocence and Dal Po sarcastically replies that it is because he is the source of the rumor. He then tells him that he can write a letter of resignation if he can't disprove it (proving that there is no point to proving innocence when everyone has decided he is guilty).
7.Either way, Chan Soo is chosen to go to the competition even though Dal Po did better. Meanwhile, In Ha cannot stop hiccupping. She investigates Dal Po and learns that he has a book in the library that he does not normally read (he normally reads manga). At the library she learns he has read almost every book there. She creates a chart and puts it in her room. The class celebrates Dal Po's win, and she (bravely) drinks some water and spits it on Chan Soo and her classrooms while Dal Po watches from the hallway. She accuses Chan Soo and everyone of creating a rumor without any evidence and defends Dal Po--she knows it is true because her hiccups have stopped. but no one believes her. Chan Soo becomes extremely angry and challenges her to gather evidence to prove Dal Po is innocent. If she fails, he (Chan Soo) gets to her (yes, I was surprised too) 10 times (not exactly the way one shows love). She agrees but her hiccupping shows she is not confident and everyone laughs.
8.Dal Po is surprised and clearly conflicted because she is his sworn enemy. He watches Chan Soo kick her bike, and sees her breaks get broken. He is about to dell In Ha, but she makes a point to tell him she does not like him and did it to stop hiccupping (this is bizarre, and something I don't like in dramas. the moment anyone says they don't like someone , of course they are going to think about it. she should have just been quiet, and I don't know any teens who would have deliberately drawn attention to that). He chooses to remain silent, believing she is smart enough to notice the breaks are broken (I don't think she would have noticed). She gets on the bike, he rescues her (I don't know why they don't have helmets) and he loses consciousness...
9.In the ambulance In Ha panics. Dal Po is watching her (awake) and the EMT (funniest, in my opinion) flatly tells her that it is just a minor cut and Dal Po is fine. She is hysterically wondering what will happen if he is a vegetable and how he will defend against everyone bullying him if his IQ is impacted. Dal Po finally says something, she calms down, they leave the ambulance and go home. (FYI Grandfather popped into her room and saw the list of books Dal Po read). Dal Po shares to her that he hid his intelligence because he learned her uncle was stupid and he did not want to ruin the charade (too selfless in my opinion).
10. On the game show, Dal Po gests all the questions right and is about to win. In Ha, watching, is confident he will win. On the final question, he deliberately lies and says he does not know. Everyone knows he knows the answer. he is clearly doing it to antagonize Chan Soo, everyone concludes. Because he listed most of the answers, Chan Soo is able to solve the game. In the classroom, In Ha sees that the show is able to convince everyone that Dal Po is in fact smart. She finally knows what she wants to do: news woman.
11. After the show, Chan Soo and one of the shows creators, Gyo Dong, wait for the elevator. He tells Dal Po that he wants to know why he lied. Dal Po states he really did not know. Gyo Dong clearly is displeased with him and tells him he shouldn't play around like that with other people. Chan Soo echoes this criticism and they get on the elevator. Dal Po looks upset and stunned. He forces the elevator open, surprising the other two who think they have delivered a scathing set down but they are very wrong. Dal Po tells them why he really lied: he tells Gyo Dong that he, more than anyone, knows how damaging television can be and that it can even kill innocent people (Gyo Dong has a flashback to the case involving Dal Po's father and mother, and he visibly pales)(he does not recognize Dal Po). Dal Po states he hates television and lied in order to avoid having to come back.
12.Afterwards, Chan Soo tells Gyo Dong that Dal po has no manners but Gyo Soo says he is right, and very smart (probably annoying Chan Soo). Meanwhile, In Ha sees someone has been in her room and she asks grandpa if he was in there he says no (is he lying or did he forget?) she goes to the station to meet Gyo Dong in the rain and they have an innocent moment (I think he is in love with her. Realistically she would be in love with him but it seems that hasn't happened yet)
13.As the show ends, Dal Po has a monologue and he says that he thought it would be easy to leave again, but all he can think about is staying by her side...yes love is very inconvenient....
Comments:I find the show entertaining. I find it unrealistic that she would not have a crush on Dal Po since 1)she respects him 2)he seems to have distanced himself enough to avoid being in the friend zone 3)is smart and managed to be cool 4)has defended her 5)is 100000 times better looking than any man she has come in contact with. As someone in a manga once said, if the guy is this attractive and the girl is that cute, of COURSE they will fall in love. I agree.

Ha-ha! I loved that little nod to I Hear Your Voice! It was excellent. I'm seeing a lot of similarities in the story telling, but there's enough difference to set them apart. The writers definitely know how to setup and give backstories well. It's all so magical.
It's funny how dramas like their smart guys, even if they're pretending to be dumb. It's hilarious, and at least the reason why he was pretending was sweet. It was even sweeter when the reveal for why he even wanted to go on the show in the first place was revealed. Yeah. This one is going to have me swooning.
I like the idea that not only will Pinocchio address bad News reporting, but how rumors can blow up. The media and rumors they go hand in hand, sadly that includes news reporting. Hopefully like in this episode we'll get to see some of the positive sides of TV/news. From the setup I'm really curious as to where the writers will take this.
While I had no doubt from the scene in the first episode about Ha Myung/Dal Po's dad's fate, it was nice to get some confirmation. Though I think there would have been no body . . . but at least this way there's a chance to find it and prove him innocent. Here's hoping. It still baffles me that Dal Po's dad would be considered a criminal. Why would his other fellow firefighters not speak up, or others who knew him? Why would they not question the "witness". Witnesses who's stories would fall apart upon any decent investigation (maybe Pinocchio is going to deal with bad investigating in the justice system? Hm? ^_-). And why would they assume a man that was in the heart of that would survive when none did not? It's disgusting. But it still doesn't detract from the awesomeness of this drama?
After all what drama doesn't have some blind spots in it's story. I love how well Pinocchio is setting up its characters and story. I feel invested in the out come. It's a great blend of drama, romance, sweetness, comedy, and I feel revenge . . . maybe. I feel like Ha Myung/Dal Po, or his brother--but more his brother--will need it. Endless possibilities. I'm off to watch the next one!
(How cute was that cone hat scene? Come on. >_<)

The answer Dal Po gave to why he conceded the question was amazing.
It's exactly that kind of answer that guy deserved after asking such a question to him.

THis episode was really good. I liked the story and the chemistry between the characters. Especially the ending when we got to learn that Dal Po is in love with In Ha. That was so so cute and I was so happy until I felt like something really bad was going to happen because the narrator said a few foreboding things, buhuhu.
Moreover the review for the next episode makes me really anxious. I really don't like In Ha's mom and I am really wondering what Dal Po's hyung is up to because I don't want him to do something stupid that could hurt him in the future. Because I really have a thing for him.
PS: No wonder that I like Jae Myeong (Dal Po's hyung). He was Deok Man in "Faith". One of my favourite Woodalchi, eheheh.

Omo! Am I really the only one leaving episode reviews for this drama? lol, well I shall continue doing so in jest, in case one person randomly comes across it. Megalolz, criiiinge :D
Dal Po, I sincerely hope you get rid of that wig (it's reaaallly distracting) but otherwise, what a well-written/well-acted episode. This is major major proof, you don't need large budgets (hem hem the heirs) to create a good drama. But then...I'm jumping the shark!
Good, bordering on excellent, from start to finish.
Worth a try, drama folks! Let's hope episode 3 mantains the consistency.
(Shin Hye's re-imagining of the IHYV segment, and her playing a corpse;...pure genius! It really gave me a flavour of her character, and it's her most likeable yet! Yipeeee. I knew you had it in you, girl!...just keep it up)
