[Drama Review + Giveaway] 'Pinocchio' - Episode 15, winner announced, Caption Contest Giveaway

Park Shin Hye, Lee Jong Suk, Lee Yu Bi, Kim Young Kwang
This week is leaving us 'Pinocchio' viewers short of one episode. I was looking forward to seeing our reporters kick some chaebol ass, and we are making some progress. However, the major development in this episode turns out to be not the news mission but the relationship between Dal Po (yes--he's Dal Po again!) and In Ha.

Dal Po and In Ha are back on track with their budding romance. Their reunion was meant to happen sooner or later, but I'm satisfied with how it happened. The fact that they wanted to go on a break was understandable--Dal Po felt distracted and held back by his relationship with In Ha when focusing on his revenge against her mother. Now that In Ha is totally on board with exposing her mom's wrongdoings, though, the break doesn't seem as necessary anymore. 


I'm glad that Beom Jo was able to open Dal Po's eyes to how much In Ha was suffering while worrying from afar. He made a good point that In Ha shouldn't have to feel sorry just because she's Cha Ok's daughter. In the end, she and Dal Po are on the same side anyway.


Our band of reporters Dal Po, In Ha, Beom Jo, and Yoo Rae are nearing closer and closer to the truth about the recent fire incident, leaving Cha Ok visibly shaken. We got a lot of shots of Cha Ok appearing panicked, especially when she notices the cell phone, which contains the texts In Ha used to send her, was missing. At first I thought Cha Ok felt guilty for disappointing her daughter. The looks they exchanged when parting at the elevator were powerful, especially with In Ha giving her mother a crestfallen stare. But when Cha Ok says to herself at some point, "It's alright, it's alright. I erased everything," she seems to indicate that there's incriminating information in that cell phone--perhaps regarding her relationship with Beom Jo's mother, Ro Sa.


Now that the cell phone is in In Ha's hands, it's up to In Ha to find that information. Though, I wonder what will become of this mother-daughter pair once all of Cha Ok's wrongdoings are exposed? Can the relationship still be repaired or will the show have the estranged family members cut off ties once and for all?


Aside from Dal Po's surprise kiss for In Ha at the end, this episode didn't have anything too exciting happening in it. I'm guessing this is all just build-up for something epic to come--which will hopefully unfold sometime next week! 


Highlights: 



Really? Of all things, you're really going to criticize him about his posture? 



You'd hope so--but people's negativity and hate are also stronger than you think. 


HUG-BLOCKED.


Gong Joo pulling off the cutest headdesk.  


Not cool, bro, not cool. All you did after this was silently creep on In Ha anyway!



The fact that she can say this while still looking like a sweetheart is goosebump-inducing.


Oh God, that's got to hurt. 


Is he not allowed to celebrate his child's birthday? Sigh, this is what happens when you invite reporters I guess. 


What is this. Is the Ice Queen Cha Ok actually feeling something like... like... remorse?! 


Yoo Rae and her aegyo game doe. 


She's cute even when she's drunkenly yelling at a piece of egg roll, lol. Poor girl. 


Intense stares. 


More intense stares. 


Now kiss


Yaaaaasssss finally! No more of this "Dal-Po-I-mean-Ha-Myeong" nonsense.
