Celluloid Verdict
A sharp, unusually angry romance about media responsibility — Park Hye-ryun grafts a revenge thriller onto a coming-of-age newsroom drama, and Lee Jong-suk sells the fury underneath the charm.

What is Pinocchio about?
Ki Ha-myung lost his family to a false news report and grew up under a borrowed name in a fishing village. Years later he walks into the newsroom that destroyed him as a rookie reporter, sharing a beat with Choi In-ha — a trainee with so-called Pinocchio syndrome, who hiccups uncontrollably the moment she tells a lie. Their first year on the job turns into a running argument about what journalism owes the people it writes about, and about the one truth neither of them can print.

Critic Reviews
Pinocchio (2014) Review: Truth, Lies and the Evening News
★★★★☆
Pinocchio is Park Hye-ryun's 20-episode K-drama about two rookie TV reporters, one who can't lie and one hiding who he is, and a sharp look at media responsibility.
Yes, with reservations. It suits K-drama fans who want romance with a real argument underneath, though its revenge plot and length test patience in the back half.
