Pinocchio

Season 1

Overview

The idealistic Choe In-ha has her work cut out for her when she becomes a broadcast reporter, especially when she suffers from a condition known as “Pinocchio syndrome", which makes her break out into hiccups whenever she tells a lie. Her rookie colleagues include Gi Ha-myeong, whose shabby appearance masks his true eloquence and sharp memory; Seo Beom-jo, a wealthy heir who has had everything handed to him in life; and Yun Yu-rae, whose fangirl knowledge comes in handy in covering the news. The 20-something newbie reporters pursue justice as they try to discover themselves in the process.
