“The pen is mightier than the sword,” or in our day: The news media can literally wield the power of life and death in the information they share. After a terrible accident, a family is ripped apart because of poor fact-checking by the media. Mother is dead, father is who-knows-where, and the youngest son missing-presumed-dead, leaving the eldest son alone in the world.

The youngest son is rescued and adopted by an adorable found family whose daughter has Pinocchio syndrome—she cannot lie without hiccuping, which means that she must be honest, sometimes brutally so. Her dream? To grow up and become a journalist like her mother…who was responsible for destroying the boy’s family.

This drama follows these two children into young adulthood. She pursues her dream of becoming the first reported who cannot lie (cos of the Pinocchio syndrome); he decides to also become a reporter, solely for the purpose of exposing those who destroyed his family and getting revenge on them all. BUT WAIT! Is it that simple? What really destroyed his family? Was it poor fact-checking? Deliberate editorial choices for sensation and views? Or something far more sinister and high-reaching into the rich elite class?

The two reporters-in-training, along with their co-trainees and the veteran reporters around them, follow this thread while exploring what it means to be a true reporter through exhausting weeks and ethical dilemmas. And when the critical moment comes, which will be more important: revenge and personal resolution? Or justice and answers for the greater good? Either way, you get to look at the same male lead as in “W,” so it will be worth it! #leejongsuksupremacy
