I heard the next 3 eps are gonna be broadcasted next week? Is that true?

 

So, after watching today's ep, I have many thoughts.

[Warning: long post and spoilers for those who have not watched the recent ep]

 
First: wow...In Ha's mom does have a heart and conscience...and those flashbacks really proved that she is human...and her choice was understandable. (though I don't condone her ruining a family's life for her own gain, it's understandable why she backed down after uncovering the corruption) And that history of her dad being the whistleblower blew my mind - I had always wondered if In Ha's dad had a job, and why In ha's parents divorced - they were answered this ep. I'm proud of her dad, and I'm proud of In Ha for taking that risk to fight for honesty. But I appreciate her dad's regret: It's not the decision he regrets, but the fact that he willingly quit instead of bearing it - and so I'm glad to see In Ha change that cycle that her parents put up for her to take and making her own path.
 
Secondly: Wow, Bum Jo! I feel so much heartbreak for the characters, but I think I feel the most heartbreak for Bum Jo...before he became a reporter, his life was perfect. He never had to lift a finger or worry about his future because everything was laid out for him while he had a loving mother. But after taking on a possible career and actually learning what it means to be a reporter, he uncovered how evil the world truly is. I feel bad in a way - yes, I envied him in the beginning because of all the things he had and how happy he was, but I think that's what makes his fall even more hurtful...while our main leads have experienced a taste of injustice all their life, Bum Jo is just beginning to experience how corruption and greed run the world. But, I have hope that he will come back in the end because the camera focused on the phone by his side.
 
Thirdly: I SO wish they hadn't done the evil rich mom in this drama - they've gotten rid of so many other typical drama cliches, but I guess they had to keep just one. At least this mom is different from the typical evil mothers. However, I just can't believe how easily she changed - but I guess that's a lesson we all should learn.
 
Fourth(ly?): This drama has really taught me a lot. This drama opened my eyes about how truly hard reporters have it - though since this is just a drama, there might be even more hardships I don't know about that a reporter experiences. It's true how you never really understand someone until you've been in their shoes. In the end, though this drama made us hate the mothers - we're like the people who quickly judged Dal Po and Chansoo's family all too quickly. This drama gave us one end - showing us how evil the mothers are and how rude and uncaring they are - but they never showed us the other end. In this ep, we were able to sympathize a bit more with In Ha's mother once we saw what she had been through. She may have made a few wrong decisions, but we saw that she was still human inside and had a heart. At the end especially, we see that our couple had much more of an effect on her than we originally thought. It amazed me to realize that even though we think we know all the facts, there is still so many areas to touch that we would never even think of going. There's always two sides to a story, and even then there could be many more underlying beneath what is actually revealed to the viewers. It's amazing how much news, power, and money can do in this world - even with the advancement of knowledge and technology, there's still so much missing. Just wow. Plus, the whole thing with being the whistleblower? Even I had my doubts when I thought how I would act if I were In Ha...as much as I would like to say I would be as courageous at In Ha was, I can't deny that I would have trouble putting my entire life at risk in order to expose something that might not even damage the ones at fault. That was definitely a moment for me to reflect upon myself, and made me wonder even harder about all the secrets and connections that are in this world.
 
Fifth: I have hope for In Ha's mother now. Seeing her in the last part of the episode and in the next episode preview, I have hope that she's going to do what she didn't do in the past: correct her mistake and do what a true reporter should do. I have hope that she will at least be able to keep her daughter's heart, because even though she has done so many horrible things to cause In Ha grief, In Ha will never let go of her.
 
Sixth: That scene of Ha Myung and Jae Myung broke my heart 
 
Seventh: What's up with the possible love triangle between Cap/Senior Jang/Yoorae? I was laughing so hard at those parts, especially when Yoorae thought Cap was "putting the moves on her" and her fellow reporter trainee was like "OH REALLY? THAT MUST MEAN HE'S PUTTING THE MOVES ON ME TOO." I guess it's for comic relief, but man that was so salty xD. Plus, those scenes with Director Lee were hilarious - loveeeee is in the aiiirrrrr.
 
Finally, this has become my favorite drama. Never have I ever felt this way about a drama before. Heirs had so much potential, but I was very disappointed in PSH for always falling into the same typical roles. Now, I see how much talent she really has - this role for her is just amazing, and I hope she doesn't take any of the roles she had in the past, because as we've seen, she can do so much more than just cry, look defenseless while being pretty. She can take the lead and be kick-butt when she wants to, and that's how I like her~ This drama is just so amazing - I never thought I could actually gain so much inspiration from a Kdrama. There's many Kdramas out there, but majority fall within the same mold when it comes to storylines. I'm glad Pinocchio broke free from many of those cliches and managed to change them in a way that still kept a bit of that old mold but revived it for the evolution of Kdramas. Though I'm sad this drama is ending next week (if SBS doesn't change their mind of 3 eps next week), I'm hopeful that future Kdramas will be like this as well. Plus, college picks up for me again next week and I won't have time to spare for a Kdrama ..., but who knows, I could cave .
 
Whew, with that, I have said all I have wanted to say.
