This show brilliantly exposes the harsh and ugliest sides of our society, showcasing how humanity can sink to new lows for selfish desires. It resonates deeply, especially in a world where social media can turn into a dirty game.
But amidst the chaos, there is this beautiful relationship between an adoptive father and son that had me in tears(almost ten times!) This father’s unwavering love, refusing to dissolve the adoption, highlights a bond often overlooked in real life, where adopted children can feel discarded as soon as biological kids enter the picture.

Lee Jong Suk shines in his role; this was my first time seeing him as a lead, and I was thoroughly impressed. I adore male actors who can cry real tears instead of the exaggerated “I’m pretending to cry” faces. Major credit goes to the scriptwriter for weaving the story together like a stunning necklace, with suspense unfolding gracefully in every episode.

the comedy sprinkled throughout, ensuring there were no dull moments. Kim Hae Sook and Jin Kyung delivered exceptional performances, adding depth to their conflicting roles.

One more highlight was the opening soundtrack—it’s an absolute banger! While I did find the title misleading, as Pinocchio herself had little to do with the main story, it didn’t diminish my enjoyment. Overall, this show is a perfect 10/10. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mix of heart, humor, and thought-provoking themes!
