Pinocchio Unveils Snappy and Stylish Official Lead Character Stills

SBS keeps pulling back the curtains little by little on upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Pinocchio. Compared to the teaser that dropped last weekend I’m much more pleased and relieved with the first batch of official character stills from the drama. Starring Lee Jong Seok, Park Shin Hye, Kim Young Kwang, and Lee Yoo Bi, Pinocchio follows a team of city beat network reporters and comes from the successful production team behind I Hear Your Voice. The underwhelming video teaser featured Lee Jong Seok sporting a countryside hobo hair at a game show trying to answer a question about the Pinocchio hiccuping syndrome.

Thank god that looks like a temporary high school era look since his character still shows him with a decidedly fashionable and sane male hair style. Park Shin Hye looks really slimmed down in her still, her face is uncharacteristically angular and the chic navy pinstripe suit emphasizes her new sleeker physique. Both leads are convincing as twenty-something newbies in the reporting world. Kim Young Kwang appears to have borrowed Rain’s agency president wardrobe from My Lovely Girl while short-hair Lee Yoo Bi is adorable but makes her look like a high school student playing dress up.

  • I'm usually neutral about shin hye despite the controversy she stirs -- but woah, park shin hye is lookin' GOOD.
    It's about time she played these types of characters -- I think this will be the role to convert the antis or quiet the naysayers.
    I always think she needs to break out with a more mature, professional role. One that people could take seriously. She certainly rocks the suit.

    • This is the writer who almost perfectly covered for Suzy's total lack of acting skill in Dream High.

      At least Park Shin Hye gives her a lot more to work with than that! I don't like her acting of her recent role choices other than Flower Boy but I will respect it if she shows us something different.

  • Park Shin Hye looks really good! She rocks the independant working woman look and it's about time she takes a mature role. I read the characters description. Seems like LJS and PSH will have a hate and love relationship but I'm ok with it! At least, now I'm sure they are not blood related! Can't wait to see their chemistry!
    PS: Is LYB wearing a wig? Argh! What's up with the hair in this drama?!

    • Woah, PSH looks so good and smart in that working suit, a different image from Heirs. I hope she brings out a different side of her in this drama. Yes, would prefer her in more mature roles. This would be an interesting drama to watch. Luv LJS too.

  • Shinhye looks so good. Such an upgrade from Heirs'
    But why didnt you post the character's descriptions? They are all translated on Soompi and tumblr in just a few hours. All characters sound interesting...
    I'm looking forward to this!

  • PSH looks hawtttt sheesh, she should wear business suits more ha....I'm withholding any judgement until the show actually airs. I just hope it's good, I want another good drama to watch (I'm really enjoying quite a few right now thankfully).

    PSH really, really needs to bring it though or she will get outshined by the second female lead. That girl can act. I believe in you PSH but how many chances will you get? The same goes for LJS, he's just forgettable to me.

  • actually PSH is a better actress than LYB.the way shin hye acted in TOH and Goong S at such a young age,i dont think LYB could have done any better.plus,LYB will not outshines PSH,instead,PSH will definately outshine LYB.LYB is good but i think Kim ji won is better.
