Pinocchio teases small-town high school romance Okay, the second teaser for SBS's upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama Pinocchio is a step in the right direction — at least it contains a tidbit of story information and actually features the heroine of our story, which is more than I could say for the first teaser. The shows second teaser features glimpses of Park Shin-hye and Lee Jong-seok's past as sweet, happy high schools from a small country town.
They grow up together on a tiny island, and that marks the last happy phase in the heroic life. He suffers the loss of his parents and undergoes a transformation, eventually hiding his identity and becoming a whole new person altogether. So he's a character whose entire life becomes a lie, while our heroine is a character who can't lie. She suffers from Pinocchio syndrome, which sends her into hiccup fits whenever she lies. She grows up to be brutally honest for that reason, which ought to be fun.
The leads join Lee Yubi (Gu Family Book) and Kim Young-kwang (Plus Nine Boys) as a foursome of rookie news reporters, and Lee Pil-mo (Emergency Couple) plays their boss, a gruff PD whose face is permanently stuck in a frown. He's a man of principle who believes in the importance of truth above all else, which means he will be the mentor to whip our rookies into shape and inspire them.
Pinocchio follows current Wednesday-Thursday drama She's So Lovable, which is airing its last three episodes next week. That puts the premiere on November 12.
