Watching Yoo Rae make a hate group for Cha Ok made me a bit uncomfortable, as well. The netizens trolling with their photoshopped images of Cha Ok was humorous and very true to life, but when Yoo Rae, one of my favorite characters, took it a step further with her hate group, I wondered if the drama was approving this move. As K-Pop fans, we know how online hate groups work and how they can drive a person over the edge. I know Cha Ok is no innocent victim and in the past, she was hateful herself towards Ha Myeong's family. I just don't want to see our favorite protagonists ever stoop to her level.
This episode wasn't as entertaining as others, but no drama is perfect. 'Pinocchio' still has eight more episodes to go, and I'm sure there's bound to be more surprises as we watch. For this week's episodes, I was thankful for unique characters like Beom Jo and Yoo Rae for the humor they brought to the table. I hope to see more of it!
