Translation note: Please don’t let me be translating this for another person… honestly feels like an interesting drama anyway.
Tue-Wed Special Drama ‘Pinocchio’ - 20 Episodes
Whenever Pinocchio tells a lie, his nose will grow. Eventually he learned his lesson, refused to tell any more lies and became good. It is so that even a puppet could become a real boy and earn his happily ever after… This is the beautiful moral of ‘Pinocchio’, a child’s tale which is well known to everyone.
However, let’s branch out our thinking a little. Is there any person who could live without lying? No, even beyond that, is lying always something bad? Is the truth always righteous and beautiful? Are there not cases where people get irrevocably hurt by truths that they could have done without knowing, and end up becoming twisted by that knowledge?
The people in this story are searching for answers to these questions.
"Is there anyone who will immediately get found out when they lie? Then what if such a person became a reporter?"
Last year, in the drama ‘I Hear Your Voice’, writer Park Hye Ryun and PD Jo Soo Won brought us a moving drama about a boy who could read other people’s hearts. This time they will return with a story which focuses on a woman who has ‘Pinocchio Syndrome’ but became a reporter, and a man who became a reporter because he no longer believes in the truth.
A young man had lost his father, due to a reporter who acted on what he believed to be ‘the truth’ and displayed it to the world. Thus, he, Choi Dal-po, had to take another identity, Ki Ha-myeong, in order to hide from the publicity and the world. A girl cannot stop hiccupping whenever she tells a lie, so she decides to use it as her weapon and becomes a reporter who can only tell the truth, since ‘truth means life’ to her.
However, these two people who are the same age is actually uncle and niece. (T/N: wtf.) While their families know about this strange relationship, they kept it quiet because of the influence of one mysterious person. In any case, the man and the woman became intern reporters at two different broadcast stations, with completely different aspirations and values in their heart. Moreover, the two stations are actually rivals with one another, with a history of bad blood between them, especially the social issues departments…
A man who hates the ‘truth’ of reporters and a woman who sees ‘truth’ as important as her life. They inevitably butt heads with one another, but who knows if what they discover would be the truth? Or just another bunch of lies?
Writer Park Hye Ryun has a deft hand in building intricate stories and creating realistic characters; PD Jo Soo Won is known for his dedicated direction style and ability to wrangle multiple genres. The fact that the two are joining hands again is certainly good news for audiences. Airing in the second half of 2014, surely ‘Pinocchio’ will become another SBS drama that incites heated discussion.

Few more tidbits:
The script for ‘Pinocchio’ is completed to the 6th episode now and they are also looking for young actors to play the young versions of both the boy and the girl (I vote for the kid who always plays Young Jongsuk
).
Also, if you want more ~proof~, SBS is apparently airing two Jongsuk movies (Hot Young Bloods and The Face Reader) next week; and HYB has Kim Young Kwang in it too.
