The firemen, led by Ha Myung’s dad, go in to rescue the men.īut what do you know? The two men have actually made it out of the building already and they are the ones who accidentally started the fire. The factory foreman(?) runs of the building and tells them there are two workers still in there, stuck on the top floor. One night, there is a fire at a waste factory and Ha Myung’s (Dal Po) dad and his team are called to duty. They meet a man who has the Pinocchio syndrome. The males in the Ki family go around to their neighbors to give out ddeok since they just moved. He and his brother are smart and his father is a decorated fireman. His family has just moved into this new house- his father Ki Ho Sang, his mom, his older brother Ki Jae Myung, and Dal Po (his real name is Ki Ha Myung). The second question requires some math and it brings back a memory for Dal Po. In fact, everyone calls her “Blunt Words Witch” because she just says whatever comes into her head. “It’s the Pinocchio Syndrome.” People with this syndrome are usually quiet and shy, says the host, but Dal Po says he knows someone who has the Pinocchio Syndrome and is not like that all. But it’s no problem because Dal Po knows the answer. He starts to say, “Choi In Ha ( Park Shin Hye), if I become the champion here…” but the buzzard rings and Dal Po’s chance to procure a hint is up. Ahn Chan Soo agrees.ĭal Po then looks directly into the camera. Dal Po promises in return that he will receive the slaps if he loses. He surprises everyone again by naming Ahn Chan Soo has “friend” chance. Talking to Chan Soo, Dal Po says, “If I beat you today, let me slap you ten times.” Everyone is left speechless. While people are shocked he asked for one on his first question, he is given the opportunity. What is the syndrome called in which a person hiccups when they lie? Dal Po asks for a “friend” chance. Nonetheless, the quiz starts and the first question is asked. Pfft. His nickname is “All Zero” because all he gets are zeroes as grades. The host asks, “But you rank 34th in the entire school, no?” Yes, Dal Po confirms, but there are only 34 students in the entire school.
The host of the show interviews Choi Dal Po and Dal Po corrects him- he is not a gifted student. His new opponent is introduced through a pre-filmed segment and to everyone’s surprise at school, it’s Choi Dal Po, looking and acting tacky and cheesy. Ahn Chan Soo is on the show and he is the reigning champ. After taking attendance, the teacher turns on the class’s t.v. He knows why student Ahn Chan Soo is absent, but not why student Choi Dal Po ( Lee Jong Suk) is. At a high school in a small island, a teacher takes attendance. It brings the debate to the newsroom, where truth and facts and lies and fiction find their outlet and audience. Where’s a better place to fight the age-old battle of truth and lies than in a newsroom? Pinocchio isn’t just a character story, where one person who can’t lie and another whose all existence has become a lie fight to find the truth.
