Sindromul Pinocchio (2014)

WOOOOOW
AT LAST I FOUND AN AMAZING DRAMA FOR JONG SUK

i liked this drama alot
strong plot
connected smooth events
no exaggeration
there were balance between cute and villain characters

if it's from 200 and i should divide into spaces it would be
20 romance
60 cute characters
40 comedy
80 about reporters life and corruption

the romance was cute but it wasn't the main in this drama
but the feelings between family were the main

young kwang and the Fl's family were the cutest characters ever

highly recommended one ^_^

A MUST WATCH!!!

This is another classic Kdrama that I think everyone should watch.
It's such a great, unique storyline that's not super cliche (although it does have a few thrown in there).
However, the twists and turns brought about are written wonderfully even though some are predictable it's performed in a way that still surprises you.
It brings to light real-life issues of the media and cover-ups. This aspect really hits home, and I love how real it is.
The acting is incredible and the chemistry between everyone is great and believable. The cinematics is great, the ost is wonderful. I certainly recommend it.

I will state that the rewatch value is low; I think it loses most of its magic and entertainment if you rewatch it and already know everything that's going to happen. However, I think it's still enjoyable to rewatch because the acting is great.

I really didn't like the story as whole.

But I really liked the character settings

It's not a review but what I liked in the drama.
Better read at own risk

For me it varies from 7.5- 9.5 the news attack on firefighter were too much ofcourse we know y that happened later. I think I have seen the first eo before and decided not to watch as I had so many doubt like y about fire, MLS fight, the father's look, and the sences were too zoomed in YouTube. But now after reading the summary and not having any other things to watch. I gave it a try. It was good. I was praying it should be this and that and it didn't.. even if some thing happened like help by bum jo it was explained by then to make the viewer believe if not this there's another way so it's ok after all it's a drama. Il jo with director yun was good because if everyone other than the main villan was good, that don't make sense. So for me it is a 9. My favourite was the nitpicker. I watched it twice at a stretch. My favourite line.. u r crying for 2 hrs, I will die consolidating you in ep8/9. 15,16,17-2 is the fav of nitpicker and jawhee with iljo. And the 16 also has the grp dinner the other grp dinner was in 8/9 I think before dopal say he is hamynug to his brother(in9). I liked jae even though.. he did a big mistake and corrected it himself I liked that.. I didn't want him to kill anyone but it was too late to think that.. sad and my fav character was director of ygn news... He is great.. ofcourse we r human after all we do make mistakes. But the thing is we should correct it even it's late and no use anymore, it's emprassing or whatever.. a good drama. It had its flaw like jae interview I don't think that was live.. it's fine if so and I wanted to know what is punishment got for jae... After all it's not too good not bad either but really something for me. I hate it when they just concentrate on one case but there r many in between and the one was on and off just like what happens in reality. I do hate drama with reality but it was my type ... If u r good... U surly will have pain.. but if u r still good (not the submissive or I don't care type ) I just knew it one I don't wana write. So it's my type Have happy even though there r things going on. We have to live after all . But don't be cold hearted... Blah blah I don't know I just wanted to save the things that I got in my head after watching it. Or the things it reminded me or confirmed... There is always what if and if not. But whatever it depends on u whether u r happy or sad.. I better stop here

Drama intrigante con una bella storia!

Un drama davvero bello con una storia intrigante.Mi è piaciuto in tutto anche se qualche volta un po' lento.La storia racconta il dietro le quinte dei telegiornali,le notizie le esclusive tv e i giornalisti.
Anche se la storia principale riguarda una specie di vendetta che però da la possibilità di redimersi e diventare migliori.
I protagonisti crescono insieme come zio e nipote ma non lo sono e nonostante non dovrebbero si innamoreranno,diventeranno dei giornalisti e vivranno un bel po di peripezie oltre che affrontare grandi dolori.Lui è stato salvato è cresciuto dal nonno di lei come un figlio,la mamma di lei che l'ha praticamente abbandonata e la giornalista che ha distrutto la famiglia di lui.Lei sogna da sempre di diventare giornalista ma soffre di una strana malattia che le impedisce di mentire da qui il nome pinocchio.Lui per vendicarsi della mamma di lei diventa un bravissimo giornalista.
Per fortuna con un po' di strategie e molto aiuto da amici e colleghi le cose andranno bene e finalmente potranno amarsi a cuor leggero.
Mi è mancato un po' di romanticismo in più ma i protagonisti sono belli dolci bravi e buffi perciò il drama scorre piacevolmente.
Comunque lo considero un drama che deve essere visto.

Parlons de Pinocchio : j'ai aimé ce drama comme tout ceux pour lesquels j'écris des review. Il est vrai qu'il est rare que je finisse un drama que je n'apprécie pas c'est pourquoi le simple fait de l'avoir fini est révélateur.

Cela fait plusieurs mois que j'ai fini ce drama donc je vais surtout parler de ce dont je me souviens :
L'histoire parle d'une jeune femme atteinte du syndrome de Pinocchio à savoir : elle ne peut pas mentir sinon elle a le hoquet et donc tout le monde sait qu'elle ment. Sa mère est journaliste pour une grande chaîne mais depuis le divorce de ses parents elle vit avec son père et son grand-père sur une île. Un jeune garçon, orphelin vit avec eux. Il a été adopté par son grand-père qui pense qu'il s'agit de son deuxième fils mort plusieurs années auparavant. Les deux jeunes gens entretiennent des relations cordiales, le jeune garçon étant accepté dans la famille uniquement car il est le lien qui permet au grand père de survivre. Les deux jeunes gens fréquentent la même école. A l'heure des études supérieures la jeune fille décide de devenir journaliste comme sa mère mais le jeune garçon ne peut pas faire d'études car il ne peut pas les financer. Toute la famille déménage en ville et nous suivons la progression des protagonistes dans leurs carrières respectives. Le handicap de la jeune fille lui met de nombreux bâtons dans les roues mais elle peut compter en partie sur le soutien de ses proches. BREF !

La trame de l'histoire est intéressante puisqu'il s'agit de la façon dont les informations sont manipulées par les journalistes dans les médias pour se vendre mieux. On a d'un côté une protagoniste qui est dans l'impossibilité de mentir à laquelle on dit qu'elle ne pourra jamais être journaliste à cause de ça. Et de l'autre un protagoniste qui voue une haine viscérale aux médias à cause d'une histoire personnelle et qui se met en quête de rétablir la vérité à propos de son passé. Dans le même temps on aborde le fait qu'il ne faut pas toujours croire aveuglément les choses que l'on tient pour vraies sans chercher à vérifier ses informations. Car même lorsque l'on pense détenir la vérité il est toujours possible de se tromper. Ce drama aborde aussi la notion de pardon des erreurs, les siennes et celles des autres et la capacité à vouloir se racheter. C'est une belle histoire car elle illustre de le triomphe de la vérité face au complot. En même temps on apprend que les raisons qui poussent les gens à mal agir sont parfois multiples et que lorsqu'on a commencé à mentir il est difficile de revenir en arrière.

En ce qui concerne les acteurs : les deux principaux sont des acteurs que j'ai apprécié dans d'autres dramas et même si leur jeu n'est pas transcendant il est loin d'être mauvais. Le personnage de Dal-Po est intéressante car il est en proie à une lutte intérieure entre ce qu'il aime et ce qu'il veut. L'histoire entre les deux protagonistes se construit dans le temps puisqu'on les voit enfants puis adolescent et jeunes adultes. Ils ont donc un passif et une histoire personnelle mêlée de près. Les personnages secondaires sont aussi intéressant notamment Beom-Jo qui au départ très enfantin et capricieux grandit au fur et à mesure que des vérités lui sont révélées. Il est partagé entre sa vie confortable et son idéal, entre ce qu'il veut et ce qu'il peut avoir ce qui le rend attendrissant même s'il est parfois agaçant et vraiment naïf. Le personnage de Yoo-Rae est lui plutôt rafraîchissant dans le scénario. Je ne vous apprend rien si je vous dit qu'il s'agit d'une intrigue en partie amoureuse. Néanmoins je vous mets en garde : les choses se mettent en place lentement dans ce drama. Mais ça n'est pas si grave puisqu'au final ce n'est pas la partie la plus intéressante du drama. Attention les nombreux bonds entre passé et présent peuvent être déroutants à certains moments de l'histoire. Il ne se passe pas que des choses joyeuses dans cette histoire et on apprend notamment que la quête de la vérité et/ou de la vengeance est une pente glissante et que lorsqu'on s'y est engagé il est difficile de faire marche arrière. Un crime peut également en cacher un autre et la façon dont on encaisse les évènements est parfois conditionnée par notre entourage.

C'est un drama que j'ai eu plaisir à regarder même si j'en ai oublié bon nombre de détails mais je sais que j'en garde un bon souvenir. Pas le meilleur drama qui soit mais on passe un bon moment donc que demander de plus ?

Female Lead Drove Me Insane

I liked this drama and that it included some thriller/suspense stuff as well as comedy but the main female lead was insufferable. I know she's meant to be in the beginning and that's the point, but even after she "learns the truth" she's still narcissistic and kind of an AH.

I stayed for Lee Jong Suk, the story, and the chemistry the rest of the cast had. If they'd written her a little different or maybe if she'd acted a little different, it would've been a great drama. Also of note was how dirty they did teenage Choi Dal Po (Lee Jong Suk) with that hair. lol I'm well aware that during the 2010's in Korea, K drama actors and K-pop idols had some interesting hairstyles, but his was ridiculous and funny. It also went on much longer than I expected it to. The hairstyle I mean, not the drama. Haha

this drama is for you either to love it or to hate it no in between.
what i love most about this drama is the dialogue ,
the main story line which will make you realize a lot of things about manipulating the media for political reasons .
the perfect acting of the all cast all the support roles seems perfect the main reason i rate acting 9/10 because the main role actors acting especially shin hye (she is one of my fav actresses but she don't act really well) her crying scenes looked awkward in my eyes sometimes overacting .
Even though
I highly recommended watching this drama

The plot was definitely worth watching; I would have never thought of a news reporter who hiccups when she lies to be the main character of any show. I also liked how they tied in the fate of the main male character's parents death to the fate of the main female character's parents death--- it showed how they were connected by some unusual, spiritual forces.
I genuinely do not think that this was Lee Jong Suk's best production. He's been in much better shows. In total, he is a great actor however, he's been in better shows with better plots. As always, his acting appeared to be very authentic as he played his character really well and he was passionate in scenes where his brother was accused of being a murderer.

This show is simply great. The romance is lovely (the two leads have amazing chemistry) though not predominant, as the real theme is the power of media and all its consequences, which is always incredibly fascinating.
Very well written, this show manages to never be boring and always unexpected.
On a side note, this is the second show I watch with Lee Jong Suk (after W) and I liked him a lot here. At the same time, this is the first show, for me, with Park Shin Hye, and I love her! She's really, really good, so much so that I'm definitely looking forward to watch more shows with her! 100% recommended.

perfect

it is one of favorite drama ever. the story is perfect, I love dramas that show people past so I can feel how they lived and how they grow. you will understand and feel the characters very well, especially the main actors are really good ones. i cried and laughed a lot. I enjoyed a lot at every moment
I wasn't excited because I thought its just work environment drama, but its absolutely not. it is much deeper
but honestly I would prefer if it was 16 ep. it look they try to extend it very hard. I don't think I can rewatch it because I cant forget the story so its difficult to watch

The most appropriate way to describe Pinocchio is intelligent. This is one of the most well written, well thought out, and well executed dramas I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It managed to save the crime genre for me and made me finally realize the reason for the hype around Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk.

I will admit the first half of the show was rather slow. There was a lot of backstory development as well as having the characters establish themselves in their careers. It took a lot of time away from what I, and I'm sure many others, consider to be the more interesting or fast moving plot of the show's second half. I feel that they could have easily cut this drama down to 16 episodes. That being said I clearly enjoyed this drama since I scored it highly. The above mentioned criticism is really my only glaring problem with the show. As for the aspects I loved there are too many to name. First lets talk about the plot. It's thought provoking, heavy on morality, and really encapsulates how different people can react when pushed to the end of their rope. Each character is challenged and broken. They either rise above, fall short of, or overcome these challenges, but the unique and believable actions of each character solidify the artistry with which this show was written. Even the addition of the fictitious and silly sounding Pinocchio Syndrome does not detract from the realism this drama embodies. If anything the syndrome adds to it by allowing the audience to see that though someone may never lie they can still be mistaken and fall short of the truth. My applause to Park Hye Ryun for her magnificent writing. The way the syndrome forces our female lead to confront her feelings is also a huge plus for me. This brings me to the romance. This is my favorite couple pairing for both Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk. Their chemistry was off the charts and I felt that their friends to lovers relationship was organic and believable. They knew when to put their partner before themselves and when to put themselves before their partner. The relationship was mutual, healthy, and endearing. They were each other's biggest support system and their relationship had a note of maturity thanks to this. Even when things got tough or the relationship seemed like it wouldn't work out they never truly gave up on each other. Everyone's reaction to the relationship was also appropriate if not frustrating. In fact all of the characters had logical reactions to just about every scenario the show presented. When a character got mad I too was angry, when a character made a bad decision I felt that I would have chosen the same course, when a character finally broke down and cried it was at just the right moment. Everything was well balanced and above all logical. For me this logic, so lacking in most dramas, was the crowning achievement of Pinocchio.
