What would happen if people couldn't lie? The only answer that comes to mind is chaos! But the creators of the 2014 television series Pinocchio had a different opinion.

Pinocchio Syndrome

The writers came up with Pinocchio Syndrome for the drama, the cast and crew brought it to life professionally. People diagnosed with Pinocchio cannot lie. No, not because their nose is lengthening. They just start to hiccup, which is what they give themselves away with their heads. The worst thing about this "disease" is that if a person nevertheless lied, then he will not get rid of hiccups until he tells the deceived the truth. But that's not all, the writers went further and expanded the concept of deception. So the heroine, suffering from the Pinocchio syndrome, could not get rid of the hiccups until she confessed her feelings to the hero. Therefore, the viewers were presented with 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 - deceiving yourself is also not good. And here is a short description of the drama "Pinocchio" (Korea) and its characters.

Ki Ho San

Fire chief in a small area of Seoul. HimHe has a housewife wife and two sons. The whole family is proud of his awards for bravery and saving lives. But everything collapses when the squad leaves to put out the fire at the brick factory.

Ki Ho San, along with nine firefighters, rushes into the fire to save two employees. But the entire squad dies in the explosion. Arriving at the scene, the police immediately find nine bodies. But the boss was thrown further by the blast wave, and Pinocchio, who lives next door, recognizes Ki Ho San in one of the passers-by. So they stop looking for the body altogether, the boss is accused of killing the entire brigade, and members of his family become outcasts. A fair amount of hatred was fueled by reporters who vehemently accused Chief Key of running away. The wife, unable to withstand the pressure of society, decides on a desperate step: she jumps off a cliff with her youngest son. And where was the eldest son, and why didn't he stop his mother?

Song Cha Ok

Probably the toughest and most insensitive reporter in Korea. It was she who raised a wave of accusations against the Key family. Some of her colleagues rightfully believed that she would have made an excellent actress. Completely devoid of compassion, she skillfully evoked this feeling in 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 proven facts. Especially when millions listen 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's strange?" - You ask. And the fact that his brother died thirty years ago, and his fatherintroduces a boy. In Korea, it is very strict with respectful treatment, so when communicating with him, an adult man, he has to "kick out" a child. Well, he, in turn, "pokes". Who this boy is, I didn't know.

Her mother is a well-known news reporter throughout Korea, and her father is an ordinary hard worker.

And it was because of this: upon arrival, In Na meets his uncle Dal Po. But here's the odd thing, an uncle of the same age as his niece…

Ki Ha Myung

The same boy who threw himself into the sea with his mother miraculously survived. He got a new name (Choi Dal Po), a new hairstyle and a new destiny. The mind that his real one was so proud offather had to hide. At school, he became the last student in academic performance, for which he received the nickname "full zero".
