Recap: Pinocchio Episodes 18 - THE RED SHOES
by joonni on January 14, 2015
This the live recap I wrote while watching the episodes. Though not as detailed or as structured as a post-view recap, it is the most thorough I can do for two episodes in one night without spending the normal seven hours per episode recap. Will be adding some screencaps soon.
Cha Ok locks the text message evidence that Dal Po gave her away.
In Ha is back at MSC but she declares she is not back to be quiet. Reminds Gong Joo what he said before about reporter’s responsibility. She believes in him and what he said before.
Gyo Dong asks Dal Po if he believes Cha Ok will change. Wonders if Dal Po is making a mistake about Cha Ok.
Dal Po has other evidence though. An informant who wants to remain anonymous.
Cha Ok reports to Ro Sa that the messages have been taken care of. Ro Sa wants to meet In Ha, Cha Ok says she will take care of In Ha. Ro Sa points out it is the first time Cha Ok said no to her request.
Cha Ok tells Gong Joo she will not participate in the item meetings anymore.
In Ha brings up Ahn Chan Soo story again at the item meeting. In Ha wants MSC to do report it, as a repentant voice. Il Joo puts it to a vote. Only In Ha and Gong Joo raise hands. No one else. But Gong Joo backs out, seeing that no one else has raised their hands.
Gong Joo decides to report to Cha Ok and let her deny it the news item. Except Cha Ok says yes. Tell Gong Joo to investigate with Yeon Doo Young knowing. Cha Ok will report it. Gong Joo is shocked.
Gong Joo tells Il Joo about this too. Gong Joo calls wife to tell him he will be fired soon.
Ro Sa gets a call from Yeon Doo Young. Il Joo has reported to him that Cha Ok will let Gong Joo investigate. Ro Sa says she suspected as much, thinking back at Cha Ok’s refusal to let Ro Sa see In Ha. Ro Sa finds both Cha Ok and Dal Po annoying.
Dal Po is walking In Ha home. In Ha tells Dal Po about Gong Joo possibly siding with her. Dal Po asks how Grandpa is, he is okay. Dal Po safely gets In Ha out of the way of a motorcycle, racing towards them. He gets a bad feeling.
Dal Po finds Beom Jo outside his door. He came to see how Dal Po was doing regarding the promise.
Flashback. Boom Jo tells Dal Po he is giving up being a reporter to get answers from his mom. He will hear answers and come see him.
