Lee Jong Suk, Park Shin Hye and More Attend First Script Reading for ‘Pinocchio’
SBS’s upcoming drama Pinocchio held the first script reading session.
Set to air in November following My Lovely Girl, Pinocchio is the second collaboration project of writer Park Hye Ryun and director Jo Soo Won, who produced SBS’s hit drama I Hear Your Voice together in 2013.
Pinocchio will depict the competitive process of young people becoming reporters as they cry and get hurt by truth but realize that as reporters, they must tell the truth.
Pinocchio recently held the first script reading in SBS’s Ilsan Production Center, bringing together the writer, director and the cast members.
The script reading was attended by Lee Jong Suk, Park Shin Hye, Lee Pil Mo, Shin Jun Keun, Jin Kyung, Kim Kwang Kyu, Jung In Ki, Byun Hee Bong and more and they perfectly transformed into their characters.
Lee Jong Suk, who will be acting as ‘Choi Dal Po’ who is nicknamed ‘all-zero’ after getting zeros all throughout high school, and Park Shin Hye, who will play ‘Choi In Ha,’ who can’t hide her feelings due to ‘Pinocchio Syndrome’ which makes her hiccup every time she tells a lie, pulled off their lines without stopping.
Lee Pil Mo, playing a reporter-turned- PD ‘Hwang Gyo Dong,’ Jin Kyung, acting as a director at a broadcasting company ‘Song Cha Ok,’ Shin Jung Geun, taking the role of Park Shin Hye’s father as well as the other cast members also showed themselves 100% in sync with their characters.
The production team said, “The script reading for Pinocchio was heated up by bringing together the best team writer Park Hye Ryun and director Jo Soo Won as well as some of the best actors and actresses. The drama hasn’t aired yet but the great amount of interest has been energizing the production team. Please watch the drama when it airs.”
Having completed the script reading, Pinocchio will air in November, following My Lovely Girl.
Choi Dalpo is on this show called “Challenge! Quiz Champion!”
"One out of people have this automatic nervous system disorder, whenev they tell a lie, they would begin hiccuping. What is the name of this syndrome?"
Pinocchio - airing on 12th November.
Ideas Behind ‘Pinocchio’ (SBS website)
Pinocchio’s nose became longer than ever, so long that he could not even turn around. If he turned to the right, he knocked it against the bed or into the windowpanes; if he turned to the left, he struck the walls or the door; if he raised it a bit, he almost put the Fairy’s eyes out.
- from the children’s tale ‘Pinocchio’
~*~*~*~*~*~
We began creating this drama under an interesting hypothesis. If there really were people in the world who would get found out immediately after they tell a lie, and what if that person became a reporter.
It is said that one out of 2000 people are narcoleptic, and would fall asleep without warning at any time. One out of 1.25 million people cannot feel pain, from stomachache to the temperature around him/her. In this drama, one out of 43 people suffer from Pinocchio’s Syndrome. He/she hiccups whenever he/she lies. Since it is impossible to lie in this manner, they have to stick to the truth.
However, lying is a necessary evil of daily living — is it a good thing to be unable to lie as a reporter? Is it a pro or a con?
Are the news we read every day comprised only of truth?
Are the truths we believe in really true?
In the end. is truth really as beautiful as we think it is?
Through this hypothesis, we want to find the answer to these questions.
Just like how Pinocchio’s nose has the danger of sticking into the Fairy’s eyes, the lies of a reporter can also blind the public in a dangerous manner.
These rookie reporters have just begun their journey into the world… they are immature just like how Pinocchio was.
But now they stand on the frontlines of truth.
Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.
But through all this, they will come to understand the weight and value worth of their words.
Just like how Pinocchio turns into a real boy,
they will turn into real reporters.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Pinocchio Syndrome
(T/N: I love that the writer wrote rules for this created disease. )
1. Pinocchio Syndrome is a automatic nervous system illness, which causes the patient to hiccup uncontrollably whenever lying. It is an illness that exists from birth and currently incurable.
2. Even if the patient lies through the phone or by texting, he/she would hiccup.
3. The hiccuping only occurs when you are lying; if your lie is rectified, the hiccups would stop.
4. If small lies are not rectified, the hiccups would slow to a stop with time. But if the lie is huge and is not rectified, then the hiccups will persist.
5. Even everyday lies like “Your daughter is so pretty”, “I’m selling this necklace to you at a loss” cannot be told, which is why patients of this syndrome find it hard to keep jobs, suffering from financial and social difficulty.
6. Because they will be found out once they lie, people believe in everything a patient of this syndrome says.
* Pinocchio Syndrome is a fictional illness created for this drama.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The society is divided on their opinion towards reporters. Journalists can be irresponsible with their words and write essays of complete fiction, fabricating negative attacks towards public figures. In a society like Korea where public opinion means everything, the damage they do can be gigantic.
Some people have even taken to calling reporters ‘kiregi’ (reporter trash, a mixture of ‘kija’ (reporters) and ‘sseuregi’ (trash)). Yet there doesn’t seem to be many tv series dealing with this topic. Writer Park Hye-ryun has said that she likes to challenge herself with topics that other people haven’t succeeded at. IHYV was a prime example of her exploring the genre of lawyer courtroom drama and succeeding.
Even though he is tall and possesses handsome looks, no one realizes it since it is hidden under a head of scruffy hair and dingy clothes. Although he can’t be called a flower boy (ggeot-minam, 꽃미남), he may well called a soon-to-be handsome man (got-minam, 곧미남) — just needs to be tidied up.
He was born under the name Ki Hamyoung.
When he was 14, he nearly drowned and was saved by Inha’s grandpa, Gongpil. He was then adopted into the family and takes the name Dalpo, because Gong-pil believes that Hamyoung to be his deceased son who had drowned at sea. Through this, Dalpo’s new family now consists of — a father, Gongpil, who could pass as Dalpo’s grandfather in age; a younger brother, Dalpyung, who’s is his father’s age; and a same-age niece, Inha.
In order to pass as Dalpo (who had never been good at studies), this boy has taken to hiding his fantastic intellect. Although he can easily memorize the whole library, he intentionally gets zero in all his exams. This is how he gained the nickname of ‘All-Zero’. He further hid his good looks by wearing shabby clothes and a pair of gum boots, completing the look of a fashion terrorist.
He knows that the family is financial difficult, so Dalpo feigns disinterest in university studies and gives the opportunity to his niece Inha. He takes the job of a taxi driver. However, his intellect, amazing ability to memorize anything, plus the street smarts he gained from driving a taxi… these are all leading him to become a reporter possessing truly unique talents.
Choi In Ha
She suffers from Pinocchio Syndrome, where she begins hiccuping whenever she lies and can only stop when she tells the truth. Most people who have this syndrome shy from the public since they can’t lie, but Inha has rather chosen to live her life telling the truth exactly as it is.
She fights over every little thing with her same-age uncle, Dalpo. She remembers that when they first met, he was a gentle young man; but somehow he turned hostile towards her. She couldn’t help but dislike Dalpo, who always ranked bottom in school and was ostracized for it. It wasn’t until she discovered his hidden smarts and warmth that she accepted him into her family.
If you have Pinocchio Syndrome, there’s not many careers for you to choose from. Lawyers, congressmen, writers, actors… these are all jobs where lying is a basic requirement. Therefore, Inha has chosen to become a reporter! In her mind, a reporter cannot even include the slightest lie in her work, so it is the most suitable for her. Besides, being a reporter would give her a chance to find her mom who had left the family.
Nevertheless, the syndrome causes a load of troubles for Inha. She can’t toy with the guy she likes, let alone consider two guys at the same time. Work is no easier. She may not be 100% righteous but even when she tries to lie by omitting the truth, the hiccups come. All this gives Inha more motivation to search for truth than any other reporter out there.
Born with enough money and property to last him more than a lifetime. He’s never lacked anything since childhood, so he has a bright personality. People can’t take their eyes off him, since his appearance and stature is like that of a professional model; he even has great fashion sense.
The monthly income from his assets is a dozen times the salary of an average salaryman, so he has never had to find a job or stick to a goal in life. He got a job as a fashion reporter since it seemed stylish, but it failed to hold his interest. His life was a yacht upon a windless lake — peaceful yet without happiness.
Yet, one day, his yacht began to move, because of a wind named Inha.
It began even before he had seen her face. By coincidence, Beomjo had claimed the old mobile phone number of Chaok, Inha’s mother. Since then, he’s been reading all the text messages that Inha sent to her departed mother (T/N: I’m reminded of Hyesung sending messages to her mom in IHYV). Through her words, he became interested in a person besides himself, for the first time in his life. He even longs to meet her in person, which instigates change in his life.
And thus, the wind now leads him into the vibrant life of a social issues reporter.
Yoon Yoo Rae
Used to be a sasaeng fan of an idol group. Even though her past as a sasaeng fan causes her to be looked down upon, her experience gives her a certain competitive edge as a reporter.
She is not above using a doctor’s stethoscope to eavesdrop on conversations; this determination allows her to successfully write reports on whatever topic she is assigned. Sometimes her ambition gets the better of her and she will make mistakes. She easily wavers between decisions and sympathizes with others too much. To summarize, she’s a busybody, always curious and never stops speaking.
She gets quick access to information through gossip rags and social media platforms.

He is known as the ‘City Cop Captain’ at YGN, meaning that he can go in and out of the police station whenever he wants. No one has ever seen him smile since he entered the company.
He’s not used to expressing his feelings to others. He speaks his mind towards his boss and is always strict to his juniors, therefore there is hardly a person who likes him in the company. However, holding tight the belief that ‘truth has the power to change the world’, he is a natural-born reporter.’
The eldest of six sons, he went to an all boy’s high school for all six years then graduated from a science and tech university. Having lived his life among men, he is severely lacking in knowledge about women and dating. Therefore, he is still ‘solo from birth’, even as he approaches the age of 40.
Jang Hyun-gyu (?)
YGN’s ‘iljin reporter’. Famous for his impeccable strictness, everyone avoids him at all costs. Easily infuriated and moody; only backs down when the other side is even stronger than him.
Takes a dislike towards Gyodong, who he believes is too rigid. Likes to use methods to trip up people, and he is nicknamed “Jang Ddanji” (‘jang ddanji’ refers to the calf part of the leg, which wrestlers would use to trip up people in matches). However, he agrees with Gyodong on the meaning of ‘what is news’.
Lee Yongtak (?)
The leader of YGN’s broadcast department, also an announcer.
Personality is calm and never goes into a flying rage. Always wearing an impenetrable smile on his face, but reveals his unparalleled decisive power in times of crisis. He understands that for a reporter, his words is his power. Therefore he always exercises this power with discretion.
As an announcer, his appearance is priority at all times. Always carries spray moisterizer, oil film and chapstick.
Jo Won-gu (?)
The leader of YGN’s social issues department.
Likes sports and girl groups, his taste is on trends all the time. His belief is that although news have to be fair, it should also have impact; therefore he keeps an eye on audience ratings.
Caught between the broadcast department and City Cop Captain (who both value truth over ratings), he is worried about YGN’s future.
Im Chae Hwan (?)
A photographer at YGN.
She is the rare female photographer, possessing an unparalleled physical and mental ability for grabbing shots, determined not to lose to any other reporters out there. Therefore, she has gained the reputation of being able to handle any situation and take responsibility for a good shot, no matter the situation.
Her cool image and hot personality has caused her male hoobaes to refer to her as ‘hyung’. She doesn’t ignore this, but treats it as a compliment. Whenever she hears the words ‘women should be…’, she gets agitated.
