meganbmoore As part of my mostly-unintentional non-sageuk kdrama binge (I've watched the entirety of Liar Game, Healer, and Descendants of the Sun this month, and will hopefully write substantially about them soon. Especially Healer and mental disabilities) I've started watching Pinocchio (the title comes from a fictional condition in the show where there are people who can't even tell little white lies or exagerate without hiccupping) and it certainly has the most CREATIVE take on kdramaland's fondness for fakecest that I've seen.
The male lead, Dal Po is adopted by an old man with dementia who mistakes him for his dead first son, and records him in the family register as his son. The female lead, In Ha, is the old man's granddaughter, making her future boyfriend be her legal uncle. Awkward.
As a sidenote, I am deeply confused as to why Dal Po has a hideous shaggy wig when they're teenagers (where I am now) but gets a haircut as an adult, whereas, based on images I've seen, In Ha has the same hairstyle at 25 as she had at 15. Why must one lead require a hideous wig so that he'll look different as an adult when the other doesn't? (I'm ok with being very shallow here.)
