Thanks so much esp for Sis Maris and @nu2me who feed us with so many awesome post regarding the drama.
Hopefully, the leading male confirmed soon.
Looking for good news tomorrow morning..maybe.

It's happy time....lalalala

@nu2me @Maris Thanks so much for all the updates....i know it won't be long that LJS would confirm.
Wouldn't it be his loss if he'd say no It's Park Shin Hye for goodness sake!

I am sure that this would be another award winning drama for our dear Shin Hye
Choi In Ha!!! Fighting!!!


cr to the owner

I am a bit curious...
how her wardrobe will be like?
she is a reporter nor broadcaster right?
ehmmm...

from dramabeans....

Ah, so now we have the reason behind Pinocchio’s title — the drama features a heroine who can’t tell a lie. She’s a character who suffers from Pinocchio syndrome (I think it’s called different things, but they mean a condition where your body shows a physical sign whenever you lie), which makes her hiccup whenever she isn’t being honest.


That’s a pretty cute conundrum to put a drama character in, since I’m just imagining all the ways that could become embarrassing in the presence of a crush or an unpleasant boss. I don’t know how realistic the condition is, but coming from the producers of I Hear Your Voice, I’m prepared to just count it as a random mutant ability/curse anyway. It can’t possibly be weirder than hearing people’s inner thoughts, could it?

Park Shin-hye (Heirs) has now confirmed that she’ll be headlining, which isn’t a surprise;Lee Jong-seok (Doctor Stranger) is still considering, but I expect the confirmations for everyone else to start rolling in pretty soon. Lee Yubi (Gu Family Book) and Kim Young-kwang (Plus Nine Boys) are up to play the second leads, in what will likely be a rookie foursome much like the one in You’re All Surrounded.

The SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama from the writer-director team behind I Hear Your Voice will be a coming-of-age story featuring twentysomething cub reporters at the city news desk. They dive into an environment where every day is a battleground, and spend 24 hours a day together chasing the latest stories. It’s described as a drama about youth, love, failures, and growing up.

Park Shin-hye’s heroine chooses to be a reporter because of her inability to lie without a case of the hiccups. I don’t really know how useful that is for a career in journalism compared to the ability to detect other people’s lies, but we’ll go with it. Hopefully she’ll be a lively character with lots of spunk and winsome flaws to scrub that depressing Heirs girl from my brain.

Pinocchio follows She’s So Lovable in November.

from Hancinema on Pinocchio....

Actress Park Shin-hye is starring in the new SBS miniseries "Pinocchio" as Choi In-ha.

Written by Park Hye-ryeon from "I Hear Your Voice" and produced by Jo Soo-won, "Pinocchio" is about the lives of junior reporters in their 20s. Park Shin-hye plays the role of Choi In-ha, a local department reporter who has the 'Pinocchio Syndrome' which makes her hiccup if she tells a lie.

Park Shin-hye has been busy with recent work such as "The Heirs" and "The Tailors" but was instantly cast for the role of Choi In-ha, which was apparently created with her in mind.

In-ha's honest and bold personality drew Park Shin-hye to this drama. Park Shin-hye who has had a long career of acting since "Stairway to Heaven", puts on the mask of a junior reporter this time and fights reality.

"Pinocchio" will broadcast in November.


where are u Lee Jong Suk, did u talk to Shin Hye. I'm going bonkers for waiting.

Jenzzy, I agree that it would be a great loss and a missed opportunity to not act as a costar against Shinhye because whoever has been lucky enough to do so had had great publicity and huge boost to their career.....the dramas have had tremendous following internationally and gained them multitude of new followers.
The only reason for not accepting would be health issues or conflicting committments. Chances are extremely remote else his agency would not have said that he is strongly considering it.
I want her drama to be a success but even more than that I want recognition for her as an actress across the board. I want it as her breakthrough drama (as some mentioned earlier) as a serious and top Korean actresses......

Eve, I think we should have something tomorrow.......after all we can only digest so much of breaking news in one day.....patience my friend....patience!

Kimloveeun that's the cutest of dancers... it expresses my sentiments exactly......her wardrobe will definitely be casual. There goes my dream of seeing her as a rich girl with beautiful dresses BUT it can still be trendy and stylish.....
