Lee Jong-suk backs Park Shin-hye in ‘Pinocchio’
Actor Lee Jong-suk’s character decided to support actress Park Shin-hye’s character in becoming a news reporter in the latest episode of SBS’ popular drama “Pinocchio.”
In the third episode, aired Wednesday, Choi In-ha, played by Park, sets out for a job interview at a TV station to become a news reporter.
What excited her even more was that her biological mother, Song Cha-ok, works at the broadcaster as a successful news editor. Her mother divorced her father 13 years ago to fully devote herself to work. She has not bothered to see her daughter since then.
In the job interview, Cha-ok turned down In-ha with severe criticisms, saying she was too frank and righteous to become a news reporter. The cold-hearted mother even said that she did not have time to miss In-ha. Her dream to become a news reporter was shattered with sorrow and disappointment.
But In-ha’s uncle Choi Dal-po, played by Lee, is also anxious to see her gripped by sorrow. Having crush on In-ha, Dal-po is the adopted son of In-ha’s grandfather. She simply calls him “uncle Dal-po,” although they are the same age.
Leaving behind tearful In-ha, Dal-po goes to Cha-ok’s broadcasting station and runs into her on his way. While Cha-ok does not know Dal-po in person, he immediately recognizes her and takes the opportunity to criticize Cha-ok’s decision to turn down In-ha.
But Cha-ok is faster to scoff at him, boasting her social status and influence. She goes on, tearing down Dal-po and In-ha as ignorant people who are clueless about the brutal world of news reporting.
An enraged Dal-po strikes back, declaring they would meet again as news reporters.
After returning home, Dal-po sees In-ha burning her books and study guides on journalism. He grabs In-ha by her wrists and asks her not to give up her dream to become a righteous news reporter. Then he vows that he, too, will become a news reporter.
The next and fourth episode of “Pinocchio” is expected to unravel more plight and romance of the two aspiring journalists.
“Pinocchio” is aired every Wednesday and Thursday at 10 p.m.
