Yeah, I still gloated. Even after that beautiful scene where Dal Po has to come face to face with his own words. I like that realized that his rudeness to In Ha was what have been directed to him.
For someone who has grown up with In Ha he should have known her integrity to the truth is powerful. As a youth dealing with peer pressure she never bowed down.
Then of course In Ha has to ruin it. Giving him a clue about the mistake on the scoop.
I loved that the YGN head news guy said not to focus on ratings and competition. That's what led to their mistake. They need to do better on reporting the truth. The commentary on how competing for viewers affects the news is awesome. I've noticed it on our network news. The same stories, but all with different variations. The truth seems like a second thought.
Dal Po learning his lesson was nice. Despite what happened to him he treated the news like a joke. Guess he was just to full of himself to realize that he could easily become like the people he despises.
But then this episode took my righteous gloating away. In Ha stands up for herself about Dal Po's cruel words. It was nice. He learned his lesson.
This episode was filled with the obligatory cold and romance moment. Lots of cute romance moments between In Ha and Dal Po. Honestly I really want to know more about the second lead Bum Jo. I know he'll probably never be a real contender. But I'm fascinated by him and his mother.
This episode was teasing us about Jae Myung. I felt so worried. The boy is good. And in his rage he may have acted too rashly. Vengeance can be all consuming. The whole time it's teased that the officer investigating the case thinks something is up. That ending packed quite the punch. Not only that but I'm worried about what Jae Myung might do to In Ha now that he's gone down the rabbit hole.
Overall I like how this epsidoe reflects on peoples' nature and how important it is to get the truth before spreading lies. That no one should be callouse, epsecially those already tossing stones. Well done.

What In Ha should say is that he's the reason she wanted to be a reporter. AND he's the reason she had to go work for her mother. -_- stick it to him.
So I'm wondering if they want the newbies to act like Kalinda from The Goodwife? Find out the story and do whatever possible to dig up the information and video/pictures of the incident? After all what she is doing is investigating!
The betting was hilarious. That's why I was dying for In Ha to win the whole time. But the only one who thought of recording with their phone was Dal Po. Pshh. Like he would have been the only one to think of it. How tiring. There's making the male lead look good, and then there is just stupid writing.
Why can't the female lead ever think outside the box. Why does the main male lead always have to win? It's tiring.
But then In Ha starts thinking and hiccupping! There's a bright light of hope! Of course it all ends in a cliffhanger so we don't know if she pulls it off!
On a side not I did like that another character from the past joins us, but as a police detective! What a fun twist. I want to meet his wife soooooooo bad.

Heart to Heart Episode 8

Hmm. That was boys on the playground stupid. Taking a picture and telling her she looked like a monkeys butt. Constantly telling her she's ugly. But oh, he comments that at least her eyes are pretty. Pathetic, but it fits his character. Of course Yi Seok had to run after her to give her a hug. I give him props in admitting that he's a jerk and none of it will last. In the end he will hurt her. "That's the kind of guy I am."
It hit me that they said Hong Do could cover up her blushing with makeup, but for her it won't work because mentally she she needs it covered up by solid things. But she does her make up as on old woman and is fine. Can't she done any mask using makeup? I'm curious. Maybe it's just because the love for her grandmother gives her strength.
I enjoy that Doo Soo stated that by not knowing who he liked, he was a fool. It was sweet that he's willing to wait for her. After all she waited how long for him. But she grieved for him, and I know no matter how many sweet moments they have the time has passed.
This was a bit of a slow episode, but it does well. Yi Seok is learning how to be empathetic to his clients. I liked that Hong Do smacked him down. It's a shame she can't see her pluses, but at least she has the courage to to tell Ye Seok when he's a jerk. She also had the strength to pick one guy, and tell the other where her heart was. I enjoy that kind of strength in my lead.
With that cliffhanger I'm curious what has hap pend and what will happen.

Nope it did not take long for Moon Shik to connect the dots. Poor Healer. For the love of a woman!
What a ride I like that Yeong Shin almost figures it out. But is loyal to her man. Ha-ha!
But I think it's finally getting to that time. Everyone else is figuring out who he is, it's about time! I'm dying for Yeong Shin's reactions.
Also I'm baffled by Mono Ho. I don't think he had a hand in what happened. Is his guilt only from digging into the truth and staying quiet?
Great buildup! It's so well orchestrated. I love that Myung Hee is starting to come into the present. Her faith in Moon Shik is shaken. All I can say be safe teacher Yeong Jae! Kick butt.

Well Healer getting sloppy!! His romantic side is showing. ^_- Will it be his downfall? Queue dramatic music.
Ooo, I love a good conspiracy. I just new something would be fishy with Jun Seok's suicide and the friend he supposedly killed for money. This is so dramatic and complex, but I'm happy the writers are keeping it on track. It could all become easily convoluted.
What I'm more interested in is how Moon Shik is truly a puppet. Did the actions that he took put him in that place? The flashback meeting with Moon Shik and the Elder confused me. Moon Shik looked like he was dealing well and climbing the corporate ladder. (Maybe with that money that Jun Seok was supposed to have murdered over?) The Elder took an interest then? Or were they slightly in league even then. Hmmm? Obviously Moon Shik is going to want to be Arthur instead of Merlin If he doesn't I'd be really surprised.
Healer Yeong Shin! That elevator scene! That roof scene!? (I think Healer is going to be the drama of amazing roof scenes.) Was Healer just testing Yeong Shin? Does he want her to like Healer and not Bong Soo? Or I don't know! He didn't seem to upset that she turned down Bong Soo's confession. Though I do like how in that moment she noticed that he was "another person".
Man, the sexual tension is killing me.! The fact that's it's sexual tension and not just random cute romantic tension makes this all the sweeter. There's a lot of drama tropes here, but I love how well they're being executed. The writers are amazing and all of the characters are so well realized.

Oh, no! I did not want things to go that way for Dal Po's brother. Jae Myung you sweet, sweet man. I really hope you didn't do what I thought you did! Maybe the first part was an accident when he confronted them. Maybe. Cruel drama to play with my feelings this way.
Cruel Dal Po! The boy has lived with In Ha for most of his life, he should be able to see her. I'm disgusted by what he did to her and I'm really ticked off that he claims to like her. When at any provocation he only sees her as her mother. Ugh. I get that he was riled up from what he just saw. But still.
And I'm wondering if this love triangle will be more of the love and the friend? Honestly at this point I can't seeing it be as intense as I Hear Your Voice's triangle. Bum Jo is so adorable! Ah!!
Events are unfolding fast and I'm loving it. I'm curious if the first story In Ha and Dal Po will work on is going to be one involving his brother? Or if they'll do a few smaller stories and work up to it? It's going to be painful waiting for the two brothers to reunite.

Male makeover. Be still my heart.
Speaking of hearts, that scene between Dal Po and "father" was moving. I knew! He knew! I love the confession and adore him and Dal Po together.
Well I'm confused by what this love triangle will reveal. Bum Jo is a nutcase! But he's so cute and I couldn't help smiling when ever he was on screen. Especially during the "tests". It doesn't hurt that his mother and him are clearly warm people. But if he already knows she likes someone else? Like I said I'm very interested in how this will reveal itself. Maybe it's not even a love triangle.
This episode was pow-pow-powerful! I was having so much fun! The tests to become the new reporters were amazing. Of course Dal Po's story had to work it's way into it, and when it did it packed a wallop. I was a bit disturbed by Dal Po's misplaces anger yet again. But I thought In Ha was amazing in this episode. Though I am annoyed that she ran out instead of standing strong. But that's all minor.
Because this episode rocked! I had a smile through most of it, and then the powerful drama moments were perfect. It's also nice that the plot is not slowing down, and the official word on what happened to Dal Po's dad is making it's way out. Who knows if the truth will be revealed, or twisted again to suit the needs of the media.
It's episode 4, and while I knew from the get go, I'll make the official call that this is a drama I want to see to the end.

OK, most people aren't going to know what Pinocchio syndrome is, just like they don't know what a lot of diseases/syndromes are. (Yes, I'm aware that Pinocchio Syndrome is not real and made up for the purposes of this show. But we're pretending.) There' a lot of ways around lying. Such as that interview to become a reporter. She could have just said she was calling about making reservations for people who smoked. It wasn't' a lie because that is what she was doing for the story. Simple. Or she could have been more elaborate and said she was calling for someone else about reservations. Because she was. It's silly. But I think it's a fun prop for this show.
My other issue is how Dal Po came to arrive at the conclusion that he wants to become a reporter. Why not help In Ha achieve her dreams? Why wouldn't a studio think it awesome to have reporter who couldn't lie? It's like a gimmick? Trust our news, our reporter can't lie! See gimmick. Sold.
OK. I'm done. Because I really enjoyed this episode.
It's hitting all the emotional buttons. From the truth of In Ha's mom finally revealing itself to her. Though I'm sure she knew something was up. She was probably more upset with herself then her mother. To the amazing interactions between In Ha and Dal Po. They not only have chemistry, but they're so easy with each other. I love that In Ha doesn't see Dal Po as a love interest. She does truly think of him as her Uncle. But then I love how Dal Po keeps up the act of just being an uncle, and hiding his pining for In Ha.
What will her father do? He's added up all the fact. Will the mysterious fake mom texter be a contender for her affection once he meets his Pinocchio girl? (What an adorable rich mom!! She's cute. Not evil.) And I only mention wanting a love triangle because it's obvious with dramas anymore, and this is the people who brought us the love triangle from I Hear Your Voice. Um, how could I not be excited about that.
All these weaving stories! How many brush ins will the Dal Po and his brother have before they meet? Will the brother solve the mystery of their father and the true events. How will all this characters meet and interact with out knowing? It's just an amazing setup and I love it. While I'm not overly thrilled about Dal Po becoming a reporter, I will hold back my reservations. Things are adding up nicely and I do love the idea of Dal Po getting his revenge by becoming a reporter. It's kind of cool.

Ha-ha! I loved that little nod to I Hear Your Voice! It was excellent. I'm seeing a lot of similarities in the story telling, but there's enough difference to set them apart. The writers definitely know how to setup and give backstories well. It's all so magical.
It's funny how dramas like their smart guys, even if they're pretending to be dumb. It's hilarious, and at least the reason why he was pretending was sweet. It was even sweeter when the reveal for why he even wanted to go on the show in the first place was revealed. Yeah. This one is going to have me swooning.
I like the idea that not only will Pinocchio address bad News reporting, but how rumors can blow up. The media and rumors they go hand in hand, sadly that includes news reporting. Hopefully like in this episode we'll get to see some of the positive sides of TV/news. From the setup I'm really curious as to where the writers will take this.
While I had no doubt from the scene in the first episode about Ha Myung/Dal Po's dad's fate, it was nice to get some confirmation. Though I think there would have been no body . . . but at least this way there's a chance to find it and prove him innocent. Here's hoping. It still baffles me that Dal Po's dad would be considered a criminal. Why would his other fellow firefighters not speak up, or others who knew him? Why would they not question the "witness". Witnesses who's stories would fall apart upon any decent investigation (maybe Pinocchio is going to deal with bad investigating in the justice system? Hm? ^_-). And why would they assume a man that was in the heart of that would survive when none did not? It's disgusting. But it still doesn't detract from the awesomeness of this drama?
After all what drama doesn't have some blind spots in it's story. I love how well Pinocchio is setting up its characters and story. I feel invested in the out come. It's a great blend of drama, romance, sweetness, comedy, and I feel revenge . . . maybe. I feel like Ha Myung/Dal Po, or his brother--but more his brother--will need it. Endless possibilities. I'm off to watch the next one!

Interesting. So I Hear Your Voice was a commentary on how the law can be twisted and used against the hones and innocent. Now Pinocchio is showing how the media can easily spread false lies, not check for solid facts, and basically can be nothing but lies. How people can just be in a frenzy to believe anything. Though I find it hard to believe that no one else heard the commands and that in a fire crew they wouldn't tell EVERYONE why they were going into an unsafe building. Sure. But it wouldn't be a drama with out forgetting common sense. Or the common practices of fire fighting apparently.
Also, I like how Dal Po is playing the game show and the flashback occur. I'm sensing some Slum Dog Millionaire inspirations. Some how it works. It baffles me how despite flashbacks this first episode is a rush.
I'm already interested in the story and characters! Yeah to another strong willed/minded female lead. If I'm right about this show being a commentary on the News and I'm wondering how Pinocchio will progress. At least that this point it seems like I get to enjoy watching Lee Jong Suk in another great drama. (Knock on wood.)

Birth of a Beauty Episode 10

Apparently it was bad acting. Because Sa Ra is all a flutter. (Warning this is basically a chain of thought as I watched this episode.)
Holy shit! A red carpet for her classical music even! But she aint' classy! So she falls asleep.But I found it annoying that she couldn't understand how great it was that he wanted to celebrate her. (Though I can't complain, that buy 1 get 1 free "almost free" bit was hilarious!) At first I thought they were saying she was so used to giving and being frugal about things pertaining to her, that she didn't know how to react. But then she was so happy to get flowers from a stranger . . .
I have a feeling something bad/rude is going to happen to Tae Hee because of Sa Ra. I mean she's arguing that they can't be together because legally she's still married. She's not reported dead, but missing. But her husband tried to kill her. Forget about legally married or not. I think higher powers will understand and push that divorce on through. It bothers me that she thinks Tae Hee will not like her becaue he only sees Sa Ra. And he doesn't realize that he likes Sa Ra and - because she is - no matter what! Ugh. (OK, I guess self hypnotizing she issue. Because that's legit.)
After basically dumping him, she tells me to hold her hand. Sa Ra. Stupid. But now she sees how sweet he is. Well this show is running me through the mill. But at least that ending is sweet.
I feel like Sa Ra and Tae Hee are going to be blinded sided. At the very least they're enemies are gearing up and are know who to have in there sights. Chae Yeon seems to be the scariest one of them. She really can't see how what was done to Sa Ra was wrong. It's scary.
Overall this episode kept me laughing. Sa Ra and Tae Hee are so cute. While this was definitely light on revenge, and all the bad guys are getting out and safe. I know things are going to hit the fan soon. Especially if they decided to meet out punishment in the last few episodes. So far the show has been able to keep track of it's craziness. Let's hope it can continue.

Birth of a Beauty Episode 9

Wow, it has been over a year since I've watched this drama! But I fell right into Birth of a Beauty again. (Though my individual reviews helped smooth out some bumps.) Part of my reason for holding off was every time I went to start up BoaB again I thought it would be too much. But apparently I love crazy shows. Because I fell right into BoaB.
Kang Joon did get the flashing lights of justice, but I'm wondering how long it will stick. It didn't feel permanent. Plus, I have a feeling he will be out of jail for what is about to happen. Sa Ra's justice is meted out, maybe not fully finished. But she should be totally scared about what Chae Yeon is going to do. I'd be petrified if I knew my new wife was the one I had had an affair with, and KNEW I had disposed of my previous wife! Scary. But he just thinks he can steam roll her. Chae Yeon is quite smart and now that she's figured out hwo Sa Ra is I'm wondering how this is going to affect things. She wants her own vengeance. The fact that she can't see what Sa Ra is doing has right, is even creepier.
Chae Yeon now that her brother is outed makes me even more nervous. Because Chae Yeon might just be the most formidable foe!
The winner plot is coming into focus and I really like how Sa Ra comes on board for it. I knew she couldn't not help Tae Hee. Though in this episode I felt like a lot of their actions were sloppy. They're starting to leave a trail and as Tae Hee finally came out as the lost grandson that makes me super nervous. Min Hyeok has an interest in Sa Ra, and I have no doubt that this guy takes what he wants.
Tae Hee is so much fun. I think it's adorable watching him be so flustered about Sa Ra. The ending was amazing. But I'm not sure if Sa Ra is going to go with it. She still has things to do. But I know she likes Tae Hee. At least her reaction didn't look stunned, more annoyed. (I'm wondering if that's how she's supposed to look? Or slightly bad acting?)
Anywho I am so excited for the Winner plot to start up, and how things are going to progress with Chae Yeon knowing who Sa Ra is. Will she work against her brother? A man who looked out for her and loved her. I feel bad for Tae Hee It's been interesting watching him react to Chae Yeon's actions. I'm waiting for the big splash. At this point things can start to go really wrong for Sa Ra and Tae Hee. I really want to see them continuing plotting and succeeding! Vengeance! Yeah!
Kang Joon did get the flashing lights of justice, but I'm wondering how long it will stick. It didn't feel permanent. Plus, I have a feeling he will be out of jail for what is about to happen.

Heart to Heart Episode 7

The writer really have hit they're stride here. This episode really made my emotions go-go-go-go! The best part is they're the warm and fuzzy kind. Because this isn't just a warm and fuzzy romance. No. It's a warm and fuzzy love triangle! Wowza!
It does bother me a bit that Doo Soo broke of his engagement that fast! Only after realizing he had for Hong Do. But he still was leading that poor girl on, it's probably the pressure from his family to get married. But still, I can't deny that watching him confess to Hong Do makes my heart all a flutter. Finally Hong Do gets what she deserves.
Which is sad because it's too late. Which isn't sad, because watching Yi Seok embrace is emotions towards Hong Do is a lovely thing. From his joy at seeing her care, to be jealous of her budding romance with Doo Soo. Yet again I am on the side of the jerk character, but in drama land they're never just jerks. In the case of this episode and the last it's been great diving into Yi Seok and really getting to know him.
The plot is thickening and I really love how the tragic pasts are working the story. Heart to Heart is already turning into a favorite at this point. And this episode had some of the best music worked into it! Well done, it only made the emotions more intense. Another amazing cliffhanger, the emotional kind!

Love how Heart to Heart isn't wasting time. At least when the characters make a decisions.
Hong Do is an amazingly realized lead. Despite her fears she can still say, "Hey the guy I've been in love with and idolizing is engaged to be married. Maybe it's time I move on and heal for myself." I also like that she isn't afraid to make decisions in other parts of her life. Her "damages" don't make her weak, nor a doormat.
Both the male leads are interesting. They're both flawed. One waited 7 years before really doing anything, Doo Soo. I love that Yi Seok points it out: "You had her to yourself for 7 years and you didn't make a move. You don't want her, but you don't want anyone else to have her." (Paraphrasing there.)
While Yi Seok is fearless. He realizes something is between them. Whatever it is he wants to find out. He's amazing, even while moving Hong Do enough to choke that fool out!
Excellent episode and I like seeing more about each character. The p[acing is finally just right and I look forward to how the plots align. Not to mention when Yi Seok finds out that Hong Do is the old grandma working with this grandfather!

Heart to Heart Episode 5

The writers of this show are finally finding their pacing, and I think they know what they want to do with the story now.
But let's be honest, no one cares about that. Not after episode 4's amazing cliffhanger.
Well it plays out my dear drama fans, and it's delish! Not to mention that it doesn't skirt around the issue of Hong Do and Yi Seok actions. They have an adult conversation about it at one point. I also love how I can now see some great points about Yi Seok. He's frank and he's not going to lie to himself and others.
Unlike Doo Soo who I don't think is the "right" guy anymore. I feel like he knew Hong Do liked him this whole time. How could he not? So now that she might be coming out into the world, and moving her attentions away from him he's worried about losing her. But I think THIS episode cliffhanger is giving him a chance to step it up. Will he see that Yi Seok is good for her?
This episode has also done a wonderful job of building Hong Do's character up. She's amazing and I'm rooting for her. Not to mention that this episode also helps to flesh out the chemistry between Hong Do and Yi Seok. I could actually see them as a couple. Plus, with the writing and story finally fleshing out I think Heart to Heart could really turn into an amazing show. Especially as the side character become more involved and developed. (The gardner and Yi Seok's therapist friend anyone? I'm shipping that!)
