What would happen if people did not know how to lie? The only answer that comes to mind: chaos! But the creators of the 2014 television series Pinocchio had a different opinion.
Pinocchio Syndrome
The scriptwriters came up with Pinocchio syndrome for the drama, the actors and the crew professionally revived it. People diagnosed with Pinocchio cannot lie. No, not because they have a longer nose. They just start to hiccup, which is what they give themselves to head. The worst thing about this “disease” is that if, after all, a person has lied, he will not get rid of hiccups until he tells the deceived truth. But this is not all, the scriptwriters went further and expanded the concept of fraud. So the heroine suffering from the Pinocchio syndrome could not get rid of hiccups until she confessed to the hero her feelings. Therefore, the audience presented one of the fastest declarations of love in the history of dramas. Also, these people are not able to remain silent if they internally disagree with something. Although everything is clear here - to deceive ourselves is also not good. And here is a short description of the drama "Pinocchio" (Korea) and its heroes.
Ki ho san
Head of the fire department in a small area of Seoul. He has a housewife wife and two sons. The whole family is proud of his rewards for courage and saving lives. But everything collapses when a detachment leaves to extinguish a brick factory.
Ki Ho San, along with nine firefighters, rushes into the fire to save two employees. But the whole detachment dies in the explosion. Arriving at the scene, the police immediately find nine bodies. But the boss was thrown back by the blast wave, and Pinocchio, who lives in the neighborhood, recognizes Ki Ho Sana in one of the passers-by. So they stop looking for the body at all, the chief is accused of killing the whole brigade, and his family members become outcasts. A good portion of hatred was fueled by reporters, vehemently accusing Chief Ki of escaping. The wife, unable to withstand the pressure of society, decides to take a desperate step: she jumps off a cliff with her youngest son. And where was the eldest son, and why did he not stop his mother?
Song Cha Ok
Perhaps the most tough and insensitive reporter in Korea. It was she who raised the wave of accusations towards the Ki family. Some of her colleagues rightfully believed that she would become a great actress. Absolutely devoid of compassion, she skillfully aroused this feeling among the audience, exaggerating, exaggerating, juggling the facts. It was this heroine who conveyed how important it is not to spread rumors, but to appeal with verified facts. Especially if millions are listening to your opinion.
Choi Dal Pen
Imagine how strange it is when you just got divorced and moved to live with a demented father, to meet an older brother. "And what is strange?" - You ask. And the fact that his brother died thirty years ago, and his father introduces some boy. In Korea, it is very strict with respectful treatment, so that when communicating, he, an adult man, has to "poke" the child. Well, and that, in turn, "pokes." It was not possible to find out who this boy was. Therefore, Choi Dal Pen decides to come to terms with the state of things, especially since the father became attached to the child and even adopted him officially.
Grandpa
The hero’s name was never heard in the 2014 Pinocchio drama. Thirty years ago, he lost his eldest son when he went to catch oysters in the sea. But fate presented him with a precious gift: in the same sea that took his child from him, he finds a boy. Grandfather brings him home and leaves him as his son. Of course, in six months the veil will subside and he will understand that the child is a stranger. But to love, as a native, he will already be all his life.
Choi In Na
A girl suffering from Pinocchio syndrome. As a child, she had to survive the divorce of her parents. Her mother is a well-known news reporter throughout Korea, and her father is an ordinary hard worker. When the parents split up, In Na and her father moved to grandfather on one of the islands after he was diagnosed with dementia. And it was because of what: upon arrival, In Na met his uncle Dal Poe. But strangeness, an uncle of the same age as a niece ...
Ki Ha Men
The very boy who rushed into the sea with his mother miraculously survived. He received a new name (Choi Dal Po), a new hairstyle and a new fate. The mind that his real father was so proud of had to be hidden. At school, he became the last student in academic performance, for which he received the nickname "full zero". He lives, as necessary, does not strive for anything. He hides from the world and from fate. But this is not so easy. One day, Ki Ha Man is among those whom he fiercely hates and blames for the death of his family: he goes on a television show.
