Dal Po tells Jae Myung the same thing, apologizing. He saw that if he held onto revenge and anger, he would be a reporter like Cha Ok. But Jae Myung tells him not to be sorry to him, Dal Po has the right to, and Jae Myung, as someone who committed murder, has no right to be angry or to offer forgiveness. As long as Dal Po remains the good reporter, he has the right to be able to let go of anger and revenge.

Beom Jo finds his mom practicing her speech. He hugs her, saying he didn’t know how hard she had lived her life until now. That he lived his life reaping the fruits of her hard work. Ro Sa says he doesn’t need to know, all he has to do is enjoy. Beom Jo apologizes again.



Yoo Rae is showing the guy reporter the photos she took at Chan Soo’s housewarming party. He points out Gyo Dong staring at Yoo Rae in every single picture and Yoo Rae finally start to believe that Gyo Dong might like her.


Beom Jo goes to see the delivery guy (Jo Dae Guk) in prison. Pretends to deliver the message that Park Ro Sa is pleased with him and will keep her promise to him.

Dal Po tells In Ha about Beom Jo.

Hyun Gyu calls Dal Po to instruct him on reporting on the opening ceremony for Ro Sa’s new mall complex. Il Joo calls In Ha for the same thing, but instructs her to cover it more as a press release, advertising format. In Ha is upset she is not doing real reporting.

Beom Jo comes to the police station and remembers his times here with In Ha. He runs into her in the hallway. Beom Jo says he came to ask a favor and since he ran into her, he can ask her to do it. Beom Jo won’t be there at his mom’s opening ceremony but if In Ha ends up interviewing his mom, please relay his message to her.

Beom Jo goes to the detective to confess that he is the one who hired Jo Dae Guk to terrorize Cha Ok, In Ha, and Beom Jo. He confesses that he promised life-time employment in return.

Yoo Rae reports this to Hyun Gyu. She says the police called Jo Dae Guk’s side to confirm and the police confirmed that Beom Jo came to see Jo Dae Guk.

Politicians on their way to the ceremony get calls and they turn back, frightened on the impending media attention on Ro Sa. Ro Sa’s secretary gets a call about Beom Jo and tells Ro Sa who is completely shocked. Reporters there, including Dal Po and In Ha, watch and film. Dal Po gets a call about Beom Jo, everyone starts getting a call. Dal Po tries calling Beom Jo but he is not picking up. Dal Po suspects that Beom Jo is doing in his mom’s stead. In Ha remembers back to Beom Jo’s favor. He asked her to tell his mom something.

When reporters surround Ro Sa, In Ha decides to push through and deliver what Beom Jo asked her to- Beom Jo said to say to his mom, “I will take responsibility with you for all the things I have enjoyed and will enjoy. I am sorry I ignorantly left you alone all this time. From now on, I will always be with you.”


Ro Sa takes this in and asks In Ha where her son is. In Ha tells her. Ro Sa drives off to the police station.

In Ha worries that her message/interview with Ro Sa won’t go out on MSC. But Dal Po assures her that the other channels filmed. Beom Jo calls Dal Po and Dal Po yells at him, tells him to retract his confession. Beom Jo says this is the only way. He says Dal Po should have hated him and pushed him to betray his mom. If he had, Beom Jo would have held out a little longer. Beom Jo assures Dal Po that there is no other reason for him doing this but that he just wanted to tell the truth since he was a reporter too, if only for a little while. Dal Po asks why Beom Jo is going this far. Beom Jo says it is because he said he was on Dal Po’s side- “Do you believe me now?” Dal Po replies, “I always believed.”



Comment:
One of the reasons why I like Pinocchio is because of its positive and loving message. There is so much good in this fictional world with people who struggle everyday to make the right decision no matter how hard it is. They fight the good fight because it is the right thing to do morally and because of their love for family and friends. In these two episodes, we saw Beom Jo, Cha Ok, In Ha, and Dal Po makes those hard choices and feel both the love, joy, and pain that comes with making them.

Beom Jo’s decision is a painful one. He can’t bring himself to rat on his own beloved mother, no matter the horrible things she is doing. To him, his mother has always been good, kind, and loving. While he never asked her to do those things to give him a good life, he feels responsible for what she is doing and wants to share the consequences with her. He also knows the only way he can stop her is to hurt himself, the most precious thing to her. With that, Ro Sa will begin to really see how her actions affected innocent people and feel the pain and the suffering they experienced through her media manipulation.

Cha Ok finally makes the decision to be a person her daughter can be proud of. She saw how her daughter fiercely fought to do the right thing and to protect the person she loved. Cha Ok felt ashamed and embarrassed in front of her daughter and Dal Po and she finally breaks down, tired of pretending she didn’t care and tired of fighting for something that didn’t matter. What did she gain by accepting Ro Sa’s offer 14 years ago? Prestige, recording breaking titles, awards? What did she lose by accepting that offer? 14 years with her daughter, her daughter’s respect, her viewers’ trust, and her honor as a journalist. The decision to turn on Ro Sa isn’t easy because it means Cha Ok loses everything she struggled for for the past 14 years, but she gains a hand she can hold.

The title of Episode 19 is “The Wind and the Sun.” That Aesop fable can be interpreted in different ways but for this drama, we can interpret it as teaching us that true strength does not lie in bluster. Ro Sa, like the wind in the fable, tries to use brute force, coercion, and manipulation to get what she wants, but In Ha and Dal Po remain steady and true to their craft. It is also through Chan Soo’s friendship, Cha Ok’s love for In Ha, and Beom Jo’s love for his mom that they are able to win.

While I find Cha Ok’s change of heart just a tad sudden and rushed, especially since it was difficult fully comprehending all of Cha Ok’s motivation for doing what she did in the first place, the sense of peace in Cha Ok and In Ha relayed to the viewers felt real. In Ha’s straightforwardness with all of her emotions and interactions with Cha Ok helped me to relate to Cha Ok more than I would have expected, especially since sometimes I wanted to claw her eyes out. In Ha was always sincere and honest with her mom and she was always a strong pillar of strength, determination, and honesty to everyone around her. It’s nice to see Cha Ok now resting in the shadow of that pillar.
