[springsky.livejournal.com]

Plot:
Can 20-something rookie broadcast reporters make their mark covering the bustling news of a busy metropolitan city? The idealistic Choi In Ha (Park Shin Hye) has her work cut out for her when she becomes a broadcast journalist, especially when she suffers from a condition known as “Pinocchio syndrome,” which makes her break out into hiccups whenever she tells a lie.

Her rookie colleagues include Choi Dal Po (Lee Jong Suk), whose shabby appearance masks his true eloquence and sharp memory; Seo Bum Jo (Kim Young Kwang), a wealthy heir who has had everything handed to him in life; and Yoon Yu Rae (Lee Yu Bi), whose fangirl knowledge comes in handy in covering the news. Can the newbie reporters pursue justice as they try to discover themselves in the process? “Pinocchio” is a 2014 South Korean drama series directed by Jo Soo Won. x

Yoon Kyun Sang is AMAZING. That's all I have to say.

These two episodes...amazing and so so sad

[michi z. (from livejournal.com)]

I will never forgive Dal Po for making grandpa cry T_T

Those two eps were SO INTENSE! I thought 11 already took all my tears but damn was I wrong... The first half of 12 was even worse T_T Lee Jong Suk's crying game is pretty damn strong and when he looks at hyung with his puppy eyes *tears up again*!

In Ha's mom has reached a new low. Geez woman emotions and compassion are no poison! No redemption for her at this point!

LOL at Beom Jo making sure Dal Po knows he's on his side^^

I can't wait for next week though bc it'll give us the cameo of the dorkiest lawyer there is ♥

I'm still only halfway through 12 and I can't finish it till later so I'll definitely come back to this post, but the "dissolve my adoption" scene absolutely wrecked me and shattered my heart ;__;

[opd-devil.livejournal.com]

I cried a lot in episode 12. God my heart hurts from watching some of the scenes.

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Ugh grandpa crying KILLED me. Particularly when you couldn't see him behind the door

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

me too!! why they do that my poor heart

[bebetama.livejournal.com]

Damn this show Damn it all!

All the scenes with Dalpo and his hyung...ugh. He looked like a child bawling in his arms. I live for them...Inha who?

When they watched the past interview of Jaemyeong during the live broadcast and the mom was all "my nails look pretty today" I was boiling: not an ounce of remorse from her. You gotta give credit to the actress, she plays the ice queen pretty well. The surrending during the news was a bit over the top but we are in dramaland~~

And when the mom lost her composure during her conversation with Dalpo, I rejoiced. I just really liked how their dialogue went.

Feel like Psh's acting regressed, and the kiss was bad. Open your mouth people!

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Tbh I think the kiss was bad bc of LJS. Like he was the one that was not into it and it showed. But also I think that's the way it was supposed to be

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

yup i was less than impressed with psh's tabloid trash attack with inha's mom scene - like the script itself was strong but her acting didn't have the impact. and as the shooting schedules are becoming tighter and tighter her acting is rapidly regressing, and i'm seeing cha eun sang again in a lot of her expressions.

as for the kiss i think it was supposed to be like that, sad and incomplete. it's a goodbye kiss but they don't want it to be a goodbye kiss so not much passion in it.

[peacefulscream.livejournal.com]

This show is so good at making me cry. All those feels. I love LJS.

[krisweibo.livejournal.com]

eugh i cried so much in this two episode especially when grandpa cried!

[spaceinvaduhh.livejournal.com]

practically cried buckets during the 'take back my adoption scene', when both of them started crying+Ha Myung's monologue I just... my heart... ;A;
Jae Myung hyung in a suit tho. Damn.
I wonder if they would tell Song Cha Ok's side of story, like is there any reason behind it all or she's just... that way.

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

Ughhh I'm so behind and I can't watch it until next weekend, from the look of the comments though...episodes are a tearjerker.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

i thought the reveal of jae myung as a murderer was a bit on the dramatic side but it IS a kdrama so...

the past 2 episodes have been so sad ugh i cried when dal po and his brother were standing in front of the news building before he had to go to jail.

and OMG i can't believe lawyer cha is in the next episode!! what a great cameo

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I cried again
I still blama OP
The scene with the grand-father were the worst

I was kinda happy when In ah called her mother a murderer

[khaleesidragons.livejournal.com]

I'm honestly so worried about dal po's brother I can't watch this if he goes to prison that's to brutal he's such a good person he's my fav in this show I hope he finds happiness
