Pinocchio 04 Thoughts
Nov. 20, 2014
With all the sweetness of domestic life, none of us thought that our Dalpo and Inha would end up shouting across the table at each other. So that’s how they end up on different sides… But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, this is an episode where both Inha and Dalpo revealed their love, quite without reservations (just not at each other).
Dalpo was caught by Inha’s dad because he is freaking EYES to see the pink bubble of cute that surrounds them. Inha hides behind Dalpo for protection when talking to dad, Dalpo sits on a veranda to help her block out the sun. (He is her umbrella, in rain or shine.) And Dalpo finally admits it that he has somehow fallen in love with her… only to assure Dad that he will not act on it, he will tidy up his feelings.
Inha was caught by Beomjo, who asks the pivotal question, “You like that Dalpo?” And she says, no, absolutely not! Only to hiccup and freak herself out. Oh but Inha, you must have seen it coming. When your dad says Dalpo’s not much of a man, you defend him in every single way — he is smart and handsome and a genius, the top 1% of geniuses in this country! But no, I don’t like him. (hiccup)
By the way, I am loving the dads in this show. Inha’s dad is perfectly relatable — his daughter is the most precious thing to him so he will protect her with his life. Dalpo’s makeover is causing him to even hallucinate romantic scenes in his spare time. But when he sees his daughter wearing slacks and spitting spittle all over the house, he is embarrassed like any other father is.
But the dad to beat all dad is Grandpa Dad. He brings Dalpo to the salon and even reads out all the English hairstyle names in a fashion mag (with hilarious difficulty), buys him a new suits and a makeover. He has lied too for all these years, to keep this orphaned child by his side. Not to mention, when Inha asks if she should continue trying for the reporter job even though her dad disapproves, Grandpa says in a perfectly reasonable manner, “I don’t think parents should get to dictate how their children live their lives.”
