Drama Review + Giveaway] 'Pinocchio' - Episode 7
By Allkpop
The brothers finally meet after unfortunate circumstances. Now that have walked down different paths, how will their relationship worked. Can they still be the loving brothers they once were now that they were now that they seem to be working on different sides.
Once again, everything about the brothers' storyline is heartbreaking, but it's executed very well. I like the way that they meet, even if it's sad. While big brother Jae Myeong (whom I referred to as Ji Myeong last time, my apologies!) continues to plot revenge, Dal Po realizes that being a reporter is much harder than he expected, and he feels challenged to report the truth. The result? Dal Po is faced with the possibility of exposing his brother's crimes to the world. What a cruel twist of fate.
The romance between our leads is developing steadily as feelings grow stronger, but I find myself much more invested in the news world than in their relationship. I'm not saying that I don't care about Dal Po and In Ha; I've come to like them both individually. But their passion for the news world is much more exciting to me than their passion for each other at the moment. I don't really think this is bad thing.
Speaking of the news world, after a long (LONG) week of anticipation, we finally find out that our winner of MCN vs. YGN's first head-to-head competition is In Ha! Like In Ha, I thought I would have an "IN YO FACE" moment against Dal Po since his statement that a Pinocchio can't become a reporter was really uncalled for a few episodes back. But seeing Dal Po's crestfallen reaction and, even worse, the victim's reaction to how her mother was being misrepresented by the media, I felt bad for both Dal Po and the victim alike. It was a sobering moment for both Dal Po and me to realize that what's more important than a news competition is the people who could get hurt by the news itself. Although Dal Po had a moment of depression, it was good to see him grow through it and to really ask himself that question, "Is it worth being a reporter?"
Now that Dal Po is faced with the difficult choice of being a reporter or being Jae Myeong's brother, I'm interested in how Dal Po will find his answer to whether it's worth doing this job or not.
