Park and Lee’s “Pinocchio” is drawing more attention from viewers by the day, clinching the top slot in viewer ratings among the Wednesday-Thursday drama scene soon after it started airing.

The key reasons for its success were often mentioned as the unique theme of the lives of TV news reporters, realistic portrayal of South Korean journalism, and two hallyu stars’ romance.

In the drama, Park plays the role of Choi In-ha, a rookie news reporter who suffers from the fictional “Pinocchio Syndrome.” Lee plays the role of Choi Dal-po, In-ha’s same-age uncle, having been adopted to her grandfather.

The rom-com airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10 p.m. on SBS.
