Pinocchio Review

Hello my lovelies!~

Guys, I've finally finished Pinocchio! It might've taken me months to do so, but I've finally finished it! And let me just say, I absolutely loved it! 

Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye have always been 2 of my favorite actors when it comes to Korean dramas and when I found out they were going to starring in a drama together I was squealing and jumping for joy. I was a tax bit skeptical at first when the trailer for the first episode came out and LJS was wearing some godawful wig. I told myself that if he wears that through the whole drama, I wouldn't be able to take him seriously and wouldn't be able to finish the drama. Luckily for me, he gets a makeover and all is right in the kdrama world. 

As you can expect from 2 actors that have other big name dramas under their belts, the acting in Pinocchio was on point. Especially the lady that played Park Shin Hye's mom. Throughout the entirety of the drama, she's cruel to her daughter and makes you feel resentment towards her and you feel no sympathy for her whatsoever. However, at the end of the drama, she turns it around and you find out all of the reasons she did what she did and makes you feel sorry for her and take pity on her. The way she is able to portray this change in character and make it so believable to the viewers proves just how great of an actress she is. 

The plot of this drama was pretty different from other ones with the addition of the "Pinocchio" girl who could not tell a lie without hiccuping straight afterwards, therefore giving herself away. However, this aspect of the drama was not the focal point and it focused mainly on a quest that LJS's character had after the false accusation of his father. I felt that they could have used the Pinocchio aspect a little more than they did but the storyline was still very good!

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and I hope another one of the same caliber comes out soon because I think I'll start going through withdrawals! This one definitely gets two thumbs up from me!

See you guys next time with another review!
