Last year, in the drama ‘I Hear Your Voice’, writer Park Hye Ryun and PD Jo Soo Won brought us a moving drama which talked 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 lost his father due to a reporter who acted on what he believed to be ‘the truth’ and displayed it to the world. To hide from the world and the publicity, he, Choi Dal-po, had to take another identity, Ki Ha-myeong. A girl who cannot stop her hiccups 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 in front of them 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. The two stations are 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, and who knows if the resulting world they reveal is 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.
