“My cellphone has exactly 3 numbers. Ahjumma, my worker and my favourite chicken delivery. Classmates, friends? I don’t keep those. I don’t understand why I would need any of them.”
With Secret Door beautifully wrapped up with a questionable ending, I thought it’s about time I search high and low for a new drama to fill up my free time. Although Pinocchio has started out as an interesting series, but having watched Can You Hear My Voice previously, I no longer think the plot brought out by the same writer and producers can grasp my attention. Yes, there will be nostalgia and that old sense of feeling lingering around, but that will just be reminiscences for us to hold on. And what are K-dramas for? To bring out the fresh feeling of not knowing what to expect in each episode. So I got into Healer in the end, and I have to say it is not bad at all. The classic line is already quoted up there along with 2 pictures, and I am so sorry that I have had not edit them. Anyway, keeping the originality is what I do best. Oh, I mean being lazy.
As comparison to Healer, Pinocchio provides less action scenes and abs. So being good at what it is at, we witness more romantic moments between the leads.
I have so much to say about this couple, especially Shin Hye’s acting. It is not that I am being an ultimate mean hater, but to be frank *hiccup*, her acting has not *hiccup* been improving since The Heirs. I truly feel bad for the Korean industry in terms of finding good actresses. It seems like all the good ones are getting a little tiny bit too old for acting as a young ladies. Think about it, we have gone through You Came From The Stars, Can You Hear My Voice, Secret Garden (okay that’s an old drama)…. Fine, just forget what I said and let’s thank Shin Hye for making good efforts in acting out that romantic kiss scene. She deserves high praise and compliments for that.
Thus, let’s end this post with a nice quote from Pinocchio too. “The secret that I want to keep hidden was found out by the one person who never should’ve known.”
