Pinocchio

I love this series so much. It has a fictional premise of the Pinocchio syndrome, but that didn't take away from the series for me.

The actors did such great jobs of portraying their characters, so much so that I am forever doomed to be in love with Dal-po.

This series made me laugh and also tear up - in short, it did its job very well! It was also a great suspense story.

Recommended.

The greatest things about this series was the exploration of world of media. It drove the story pretty steadily without a moment of boredom. The romance was the icing on the cake. It did bring up the series as a whole. You can't fake perfection and this series was it. I still get flashbacks sometimes of some of my favorite parts in this series. The ending was pretty satisfying and wrapped up the series really nicely.

This might have become my favourite kdrama because it is finally a drama without too much telenovelistic stuff in it. The development of the characters along the movie is exceptional. Despite the tragic story, I did not shred a tear and I am happy about that because it means that the plot made me focus more on the positive part of how great the characters become in time and not of bad side of the world.

Pinocchio is a very well crafted story about just how much the media effects people, as seen through the eyes of our main protagonist, Dal-Po. There is also a very nice romance in there.

The main thing I enjoyed about Pinocchio was how well it was able to balance drama and comedy. The main story was where the drama came from, and was kept in the arc of the main characters. The main characters did have some comedic moments, but most of the comedy was kept to the side characters, which I liked. This was one of those rare shows where you really got to know and like the side characters. I also enjoyed how unique the story was. There aren't too many shows about what goes in the world of journalism.

If I must nitpick, I have to say that I wish they would've cut out some of those cliché moments. Yes I know that Korean Dramas are well known for being soap opera-like, and that those moments very rarely occur in this drama. However, it really took out of the realism of it all when there is a long and silent stare while a ballad plays in the background.

This was the first Korean Drama I ever watched, and I'm glad of it. If you are trying to get into Korean Drama, this is a good place to start.

This is one of the best K-dramas I've seen so far. Most of the summaries are not very good, but it's hard to tell what it is about without giving any spoilers. But I'll say that it's not an usual cliché drama with a lot of romance and no real plot. The story here is very intense and well written till the end. It's about death, revenge, mystery,... But there's obviously romance too, like in all k- drama there's a love/hate kinda story that will make you giggle. The actors are great, you can't expect something else with Park shin-hye and Lee jong-suk, they are awesome. What I mostly liked about this drama besides all of what I've said is that it's pretty mature without being TOO serious and depressive, it still has humor. You will cry and you will laugh, it's a emotional roller coaster and I suggest it to everyone!
