hehehehehe sweet picts sis @eve ^_^
just found the ep with eng sub let's watch together

WOW.... I was holding my breath the last few minutes..... this story is getting interesting...something that I did not expect from Cha Ok and Beomjo's mother texts comments..... woah... it gave me goosebumps.

I initially thought that InHa's mother left Korea and when she left her residence she forgot her phone behind... hmm
but it seems that she left from the home of Park RoSa (Beomjo's mother).... what is their relationship that Cha Ok need to report to RoSa? We learned before that Beomjo's mother is 2nd head of MSC broadcasting station. Infuential person.

oh I forgot to mention that Yoorae is funny in this episode ... she is a riot!
Also... JaeMyung is really a good person inside.... he was being a hyung to HaMyung.... advising him and to apologizie to InHa. My kind of man! woohoo !

Shinhye is awesome again in this episode.... she shines as being the bigger person than HaMyung... understanding, smarter too. .... how did she get the button?

and....Jongsuk... he is full of aegyo when drunk.... he is great in portraying HaMyung.... still learning to be a better reporter... from InHa...

Episode 13 - Christmas gift is daebak !!


ahhh.... that "dream" again!! our genius writer loves to tease us!!

Pinocchio Recap by Joonnii


The plot thickens
Episode 13 - Christmas Gift


Ha Myung and Beom Jo are at the Han River police station reporters’ room. Beom Jo is amazed that Cha Ok admitted to Ha Myung that she didn’t check the death certificate- that single piece of paper is going to hit her pretty hard. He wonders if Ha Myung isn’t just a little bit concerned about this situation since Cha Ok is In Ha’s mom after all. Ha Myung tells him no, he has ended it with In Ha.

Beom Jo is once again surprised by this new piece of information and wants to talk more about it but Ha Myung doesn’t. He brusquely asks for the information that Beom Jo gathered.

Beom Jo has talked to all ten of the colleagues of the bus driver (Mr. Cha) listed on the contact list given to him by Mr. Jo (the president of the bus company). They all told him Mr. Cha died from a coronary artery disease, not suicide. This strikes Ha Myung as a little strange, that all ten said the exact same thing.

Yoo Rae is back after interviewing Mr. Cha’s brother. She found him at his construction job at work so while she was screaming her questions to him, he just nodded yes while never looking at her or never stopping his drilling. She had to scream over the drilling so her voice is almost gone. He told her that his brother died from a coronary artery disease and that he lied about the cause his death six years ago because he was angry at Mr. Jo.

Something is bothering Ha Myung about this but since he can’t exactly pinpoint what it is, he just agrees with Beom Jo and Yoo Rae as they discuss how this is definitely false reporting by Cha Ok.

As for In Ha, who is supposed to double check the death certificate, she hasn’t come back to the police station. She sends the other three a text message instead that she checked the death certificate and there is no issue with it. She also tells them she can’t come back to the police station because something came up.

Ha Myung is once again suspicious since he knows In Ha can lie through text because no one can see or hear her hiccup. He calls her but she doesn’t pick up. Ha Myung gets up to leave without saying anything to Beom Jo and Yoo Rae.


In Ha is outside the police station, hiccuping and holding two pieces of paper. They are both death certificates but one is slightly different from the other. On one it is written that an overdose of hypnotics sedatives were found in the body while the other one doesn’t it that information When In Ha had gone to double check the death certificate Mr. Jo had given her, the doctor told her that there shouldn’t be any empty space in that box. If there was no information to be written, it should say there is nothing, not just a blank space. The blank space means that someone purposely left something out. This is not what In Ha wanted to hear so she pleads with the doctor to not look into this since if the death certificate was doctored, Mr. Jo was lying.

In Ha is about to rip the death certificates when she spots Ha Myung coming out of the station and spotting her. She panics and runs for it, with Ha Myung chasing after her. They end up at a park and Ha Myung, having caught after her, demands to have In Ha confirm that there was nothing wrong with the death certificate and that her mom was in the wrong. “Tell me I’m right!” he yells.

But In Ha can’t lie so she tells him the truth that she knows will disappoint him- that the death certificate given to them by Mr. Jo was doctored. Mr. Cha really did commit suicide.

Ha Myung is angry. He can feel the chance to put Cha Ok out of commission once and for all slipping through his fingers. He asks In Ha angrily why it is her, a Pinocchio who can’t lie, who knows the truth. He asks for her to keep silent- her mom destroyed his family with a lie so there is nothing wrong with telling this lie. He’s trying to convince himself and In Ha as he yells, “That’s the way it should be!”

In Ha tells him that she will keep silent about the truth but she hiccups because that this is going against her nature to tell the truth. Ha Myung holds her shoulders tightly as he demands once again that she keep silent. He is going to take her mom down and he can’t just stop because of his poor brother. He needs to see it to the end.


Ha Myung comes home (his brother’s house) to find Grandpa and Dal Pyung waiting at the front door. They’ve come because they were worried about him. Grandpa inspects the house and asks questions about the heating, water, and if there is enough rice. He also grumbles about how heartless Dal Po is. He was going to cut off all contact with Dal Po just like Dal Po did with him but he didn’t want to become a bad person like Dal Po.

Outside, Dal Pyung is giving his name and number to the landlady, telling her to call him if something happens to Dal Po. He tells him that Dal Po is his older brother which leaves the landlady scratching her head.

Ha Myung follows them out of the house and trails behind as Dal Pyung and Grandpa leave. Grandpa is still grumbling about Dal Po being a bad kid when he suddenly turns around and tells Dal Po that he is not going to dissolve the adoption. No matter what anyone says, Dal Po is forever his son.


When Ha Myung continues to follow them, Dal Pyung exclaims, “Stop following us or we will never come back.” Ha Myung stops and watches them leave, his heart in pain.

When Ha Myung returns home, he opens the gift box grandpa left for him. It has an envelope with money in it and a scarf with a note from Grandpa that tells him not to be stingy with the heat and to make sure to eat every meal.

Ha Myung holds the scarf tightly as he thinks about what In Ha said about how she knows Dal Po will miss Grandpa every single moment and cry alone every night but will pretend he is okay. We hear her words, “I am not going to worry about you because I hate it even more if you break apart,” as Ha Myung falls to his bed, crying, curled up, and cradling the scarf and Grandpa’s note.

The next day, Gyo Dong double checks with Ha Myung and Yoo Rae about what they found. When he asks about the death certificate, Ha Myung skips a beat before answering there was nothing wrong with it. Gyo Dong, being the good boss, asks them if they investigated properly without concluding first Song Cha Ok was wrong and trying to fit pieces in to match that conclusion. Yoo Rae firmly denies while Ha Myung stays silent.

Gyo Dong is convinced and he tells them to get some footage with Cha Ok when she arrives at work later. He asks if Yoo Rae wants to go but she offers it to Ha Myung, knowing what this case means to him- a chance for payback.

The YGN team heads over to the MSC building. MSC team is already there filming the protesters outside their building, feeling a little weird doing it. Joo Ho (cameraman) asks In Ha if she and Beom Jo are okay with this and she replies yes but hiccups. But she has been hiccuping since yesterday, Beom Jo notes, and he wonders if she is really okay.

Cha Ok arrives in her chauffeured car and the protesters rush to crowd around it and prevent it from moving any further. Cha Ok says to her chauffeur that she will get out of the car now and that she is not worried about the protestors- actually, she welcomes any trouble because it will make her seem like the victim and there are cameras around to film this.


The protestors and reporters surround Cha Ok and Mr. Jo is there in the circle, blaming her for his business failure and for being called a murderer all these years. He demands that she be fired and stripped of her journalist title.

Ha Myung is watching this- the angry crowd and the pushy reporters- and he is reminded of the same situation that happened to him and his brother 13 years ago. Someone throws an egg at Cha Ok and it’s once again like the time someone threw an egg at Ha Myung 13 years ago. He sees In Ha watching for a distance, hiccuping, and he meets Cha Ok’s eyes, who has egg dripping down her face.

Ha Myung curses underneath his breath as he grabs the death certificate out of Mr. Jo’s hand and asks him, “Did you fabricate this death certificate?” Mr. Jo claims that he didn’t but Ha Myung lays out the evidence- he checked with the hospital and Mr. Jo erased the part about the overdose of hypnotics sedatives found in the body. When In Ha hears this, she knows that Ha Myung went to the hospital himself to find out.

Plus, Ha Myung adds, all of the bus driver’s colleagues and family members said the exact same cause of death like parrots, as if someone told them to say that. Beom Jo is among the other reporters, wondering why he didn’t notice this peculiarity.

Mr. Jo tries to explain that it was because all those people asked him about the exact cause of death but Ha Myung points out that it is strange that they were asking him instead of the doctor.

Other people are now suspicious of the Mr. Jo and start questioning him. With the cameras turned on him now, Mr. Jo confesses loudly and angrily that he lied because his business was destroyed. As he starts walking away, the cameras, crowd, and reporters follow him, asking if he really fired someone over 600 won (~50 cents). Mr. Jo insists, like six years ago in his interview with MSC, that embezzling even 100 won is still embezzling. “What did I do wrong?!”

With the crowd gone, Cha Ok asks Ha Myung coldly what does he think he is doing right now. He replies that he is just doing what reporter should be doing, something she should have done 13 years ago. “I have something to ask you. Why do people not believe you even if you say the right thing? Why do you yourself not believe? Are you really a news reporter? I will keep asking you this. And Until I hear your answer…” Ha Myung looks at In Ha, “I will not break apart.”


In Ha smiles, hearing this reassurance from Ha Myung.


Cha Ok cleans herself up in the bathroom and she is magically back to looking like nothing happened. She texts the “President” she received a text from previously, telling her to step back for now. Cha Ok writes, “I apologize for causing trouble.”

Yoo Rae relays what happened between Ha Myung and Cha Ok to the other YGN rookies. She wanted to accept Ha Myung right then if it wasn’t for her “oppa” (her idol star Heechul).

Yoo Rae doesn’t know how affected Cha Ok was by this because of her “botox face,” but we see that Cha Ok is indeed affected. At the end of her 10 o’clock news show, Cha Ok announces that she is stepping down as an anchor. Doubt has been cast upon her, and although those were all misunderstandings or unsupported claims, she is stepping down, not out of anger, but to reflect and understand why she was swept up in those malicious rumors. She will no longer be an anchor but an on-the-scene reporter.
