I finished watching Pinocchio last night, so here is my review.

The story is about some people who come from different backrounds and end up being reporters. During this process they learn about each other's past and also how reporters work and how they can twist the truth. In the end it seems that all the people in the story are connected in a way because of a crime that happened.

I loved the story a lot, it had a bit of a slow start though, so I was a bit unsure to even continue watching this drama. As I give new series I watch always 3-4 episodes until I decide to drop them, Pinocchio didn't disappoint me in the end.

The characters were really well portraited by the actors, there were twist and turns you couldn't forsee and it was a really bumpy ride for my feelings xD
I liked the development of the main characters and their strentgh they showed in the drama. Also I could really connect to everyone of them because you start seeing their background very early on, so you didn't have the feeling you had to catch up on something.

Also this drama sends out a really important message to actually everyone on this planet - and that is that reporting and the news are sometimes not what they seem and that we have to question a lot of things and think about them before believing it. I really liked that aspect as you can see how the  people in the drama show how much suffering lies can envoke.

I would probably would watch it again for fun some time because I really like the characters.

I think this drama is something  for relaxation as the story line is simple to follow and there are no long and boring middle parts.

I like the story although I didn't like the male lead at first because he was being so so so rude to Kim Hye Jin. Later on his character got better but damn, I hated him at first.
I like the female lead because she is funny and quirky and really weird sometimes and that kind of stood out through the whole drama. Kim Shin Hyeok as a character was a total weirdo but I enjoyed the scenes with him because they would cerainly make you laugh or almost cringe (sometimes at the same time as Kim Hye Ji, because we felt what she felt).
I had problems with her best friend keeping this huge secret for so long. I mean falling in love or love in general makes people do stupid things sometimes. But living under the same roof and being best friends and seeing the man her best friend's in love with...that was a little bit too much for my taste, but i get that it's possible...but still....aaaah...cringe.

Music didn't stand out for me that much so nothing to report there, no negativ, no positiv.

I probably wouldn't rewatch this drama because for me it's too...maybe a bit too shallow. There were no surprises and not twists one couldn't get some episodes ahead. That was a bit sad for me as the other aspects of this drama - which were good - couldn't balance it out.

don't get me wrong, it's still a good drama but nothing special for me.

UGH, this drama, I finished it in like 3 days and I kind of have a love-and-hate-relationship with it.
Its start very promising and the story is a bit creepy and gloomy, but very interesting. The second episode is where you think "Ok, WTF is going on?!"

I think it's a very good drama with a lot of twists and storylines only a psychopath could think of. It really messes with your head and sometimes I even lost track, because it was getting kind of like a labyrinth.
I liked the love story in the drama, it was sweet and a contrast to all the gloomy stuff.

Personally I didn't like the ending, so I probably wouldn't watch it again, that's why I gave only 5.0/10. I mean it's an ending I could be ok with but your heart hurts while it happens and you're left with being a little mess.

So, you can see that this drama really got me hooked and made me sad and cry.
This drama gets you really and you start thinking about many things, but as it made me so sad...ugh I dunno, it's good. watch it.

This is a very cute and adorable show!
The story is very simple to follow and you get sucked into this drama right from the first episode.
Sometimes I had the feeling that the feelings of the characters change a bit too fast, but that was the only thing that I was slightly confused about.
A nice fact was that the episodes weren't too long, like 30mins each, which made the drama quite "short" without an unnecessary looong middle part.

The characters were all very well portraied. Everyone had their own kind of weird thing going on and it made each and everyone of them likeable. The main cast was amazing and very adorable, I loved how their relationship developed and it will surely make you cry...it made me cry :'(
I also loved the research team which built the robot, because they gave a the male lead a family feeling and it was so nice to see how they became friends.

The music didn't stand out for me that much but it was very good for the drama as there is nothing negative to say about it.

I would rewatch this drama any time because it's such an easy drama too watch as I mentioned before.


Overall 9,5/10.
I would recommend this drama for everyone who wants to start watching dramas :)

Story: I really liked the story actually, because it kept me interested to watch it. Some of it was sometimes too much to handle, because there wasn't only ONE story line, but many that made a big one and for some people that might be a bit irritating, but in the end all the loose ends come together, so I really liked it.

Acting/Cast: The people chosen for their roles were really on point. Every character is likable and you get to know some backround of the protagonists as well which is crucial for the storyline. I think that some characters wouldn't have been necessary but that's just my own opinion.

Music: I really really loved the music! I fell in love with the love-song-theme from VROMANCE, omg my sister and I are singing or more humming (we don't speak korean) the melody all the time xD

Rewatch Value: I would definitly rewatch this show, but not too soon, because the storyline has so many strings that it's not an "easy" show to watch because sometimes it seems too much :D But I would rewatch it some day for sure ;)

Overall: Overall I'd say that this drama is very adorable and likeable.

This drama simply makes one happy ^_^

It's about a girl which we first see in her highschool years where she's very popular and pretty. Later on we see her in her adult life which is the complete opposite of her highschool life. Well, she got the job she wanted but she gained weight and is unhappy with her lovelife. By accident she meets Kim Yeong Ho who becomes her personal trainer to get a healthier lifestyle. During the drama they get to know one another better and more than better haha :D

I have to say I watched this drama with lots of joy, sure it was dramatic at some points and actually it speaks about a lot of issues people have such as depression, unhealthy living and scars people have to live with, but they made it so enjoyable to watch!
I loved the chemistry between the main cast although I'm actually not a huge fan of the actors, but they brought so much emotion and feelings across that I couldn't take my eyes off them.
 
I also really liked the supporting roles like Kim Ji Woong and Jang Joon Sung. I loved their character developend and how attached they got to Kang Joo Eun.

The Music was also very good, placed at the right moments, I still have "a beautiful lady" in my ear and can't get it out of my brain xD

I would definitely rewatch this drama just because it makes you smile and it's a beautiful and simple (well "simple" could be argued) romance to fall in love with.

Wow, this drama doesn't leave out anything. There is love and romance, but it's also a thriller with lots of psychology, friendship and what you go through when you're in love and it's one-sided aaaaahh...and a little bit of comedy.
The story fascinated me from the start, I loved the mystery and the danger that comes from Bo Jin Yan, but also the innocence and persistence of Jian Yao. The relationship between them developed so nicely and it was very lovely to watch.

The supporting roles were just as important as the main ones as they build a frame for the main couple. All in all the Cast was superb!

I probably wouldn't rewatch it right away because the end kind of stuck to me a bit and gives me the chills. I was a bit sad that the love-story of Bo Jin Yan and Jian Yao was pushed to the back during the series and many people who've read the novel were disappointed due to this fact. It really feels a bit that the action and the main bad guy were SOOO important that they had to let that slide a bit.

Overall it's a really great drama to watch and it doesn't let you go until you've finished it. Get ready for some addiction here ;)

This drama was so epic and awesome! I loved the characters and the story although sometimes I felt I had to remember so many names and backround things that I got surprised either way xD
I liked how the relationships between the characters develop and also how one can relate to so many feelings they have.

I also loved the costumes and the set! The music was soooo good too! Most of the times I usually skip the intro because it gets boring after a while, but I had to listen to the song they used here all the time :D
 
I think I even watched it two times already and still think it's awesome!
The ending could be a bit different in my opinion...I love happy endings and this ending made me kind of sad.

Also it's interesting that I kind of switched liking the characters in this drama but I don't think I was the only one :D at first we really like the relationship between Ka Suo and Li Luo but later on I (or we all) were really excited to know how the relationship between Ying Kong Shi and Yan Da develops.

This drama has everything: some comedy, action, magic, love and also lots and lots of heartbreak x)

This Drama was actually the one who brought me back to watch more chinese series ^_^

Story: I really liked the story and, it went down very smooth and at the end of ever episode I wanted to watch more and more. Also the characters were well introduced and likable. Although one could see through some of the twists and turns, it was enjoyable to watch.

Acting/Cast: I started watching this drama, because I liked Tan Song Yun in "The Whirlwind Girl 2" and I wanted to see more of her acting and I was not disappointed. Apart from that I really liked the comedy some of the characters showed like from Huang Sheng Chi.

Music: To be honest, I watched this drama a while ago, so I can't realldy remember the music that much. BUT it didn't remind me of something negative, so I guess it went well with the scenes and the drama overall, so still a 7.5 ;)

Overall: I will give this 10/10, because it's just a very sweet drama with feelings and characters everybody knows and understands. It's relaxing to watch and makes one smile. For me it was a great start and kind of a comeback to watch chinese or asian series more ^_^
