Pinocchio Holds Press Conference and Releases Long Exposition-driven Preview

The final promotional push is done for Pinocchio so all that’s left is to wait 5 more days until Wednesday night arrives. The cast attended the press conference yesterday as the production revealed both the official drama posters and the always welcome long video preview. I found the posters sweet and fluffy like the cotton clouds leads Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Seok are laying on in the main poster, a transition from the production team to a more white air theme rather than blue water theme posters for its last drama I Hear Your Voice.

Everyone looked decent enough at the press conference so I’ll gloss over the fashion editorial and just dive right into the drama peeks. The long preview manages not to be spoiler-central or share only the best parts of the early scene so that no excitement remains when the whole episode airs. I like the focus on Lee Jong Seok’s character both as a child and a teenager with a lot of time showing how he came to be an “uncle” to Park Shin Hye’s character and his own family problems. The visuals look nice and the lighthearted is balanced nicely with the more hard hitting elements.

Long 5-minute preview for Pinocchio (English subbed):

  • They all look so good! And the preview seems so promising! I laughed out loud at the first 20 seconds, that's such a parodic throwback to "I Hear Your Voice" XD It's finally almost here! Gah I'm so excited!!!

    • Oh,a troll!
      Enough crappy dramas left for you elsewhere. Too bad this one won't be part of the list.
      >.>

  • So excited! It looks funny, cute and serious at the same time! Choi Inha mom is really something! I already hate her! Inha and Dalpo couple are just too cute ( the chemistry between them *w*!!!) I wanted to see more of the second leads but I guess I will have to wait until the premiere. 12th November pali pali!

  • OMO OMO OMO I can't wait for this!!! Seriously I love both lead and I can't wait to watch! Just like you said I love that this preview doesn't just show all the best bits!

  • Jo soo won (the director) seriously loves everysingleday I think he has used them for the ost on all of his dramas (I hear your voice, cheongdamdong Alice, gapdong and now Pinocchio) I freaking love that band so it always makes me happy to hear them on ost (miss Korea is my all time favorite ost and they did most of the music) =]]]

  • I smell flopey in the air! Looks no spark w/ the OTP. Fyi, in "The Heirs", even if poor chemistry w/ PSH-LMH & overused/crappy storyline, the fanbase saved it, hope this have enough fanbase & good story to kick it off! Good luck.

  • The preview did not really hold my attention or seem particularly compelling to me but it's possible they just held a lot back from the preview so perhaps the show will be a pleasant surprise...we shall see

    On a side note, it seems like the show is really going to be centered around Lee Jong Seok's character which I did not realize previously.

  • I can't wait to watch this, expecting an awesome drama.
    I like all the actors and actresses in this drama.
    It's really sad when I read on other blogs site how some netizens start bashing the actors or actresses, and the show has yet to air its first episode, so how could these people be able to do an honest unbias true critique of a show and it's actors and actresses and the storyline, without watching it? why all the negativity towards an actress, either watch the show she is in and enjoy it once its air or don't watch it. I find it strange that people have so much hate for a certain actor/actress, if they were that bad, no producer or director would want to hire/work with them because they would not be a wise choice or investment for the show. For me the whole cast, they have talent, they can all act, so I really hope that this drama can be the one that is truly unique gem of a drama and would elevate and help quash peoples bad opinion about these actors and actresses.

    • bad actors/actresses still get many offers, ie: LSJ's previous partner in DS. So yes, the amount of offers they get =/= whether they are good actors/actresses. However, i agree that PSH's get a lot of hates, but maybe because she is a big star now, this bound to happen. Plus, Heirs had a huge impact on her career, so people tend to judge her based on that alone.

      While i dont like her and find her acting is lacking, i will give this drama a chance since i like the writer past production. Maybe with a good PD who can teach PSH some tips, she will give a better performance this time.

  • The highlight is miles better than the whole promotion. I'm looking forward to it even it's a bit disappointed that this drama will be focus on the male lead.
    They look beautiful at the PC,by the way, especially Shinhye
