Story

A girl with the Pinocchio sydrom, which prevents her from lying, and a boy with a sharp memory, will make the impossible possible in order to prevail as journalists in a corrupted media world.

Korean Drama Pinocchio is a drama with lots of media stories, along with a sweet romance and some heartbreaking main plotline.

And even though the drama got slower and boring towards the ending, with the story being too thinly spread out, it has many enjoyable moments, with the actors handling their characters masterfully.

The short cases that were added gave a nice note to the drama and prevented it from falling flat.

Cinematography

The pace of the drama was okay, but the two final episodes were stretching the story far too thin. The flashbacks were nicely embedded in the story though.

Overall

My overall rating for the Korean Drama Pinocchio is 7 out of 10. The story is pretty compelling, but the two last episodes were unnecessary.
