Pinocchio

Gi Ha-myeong’s family is shattered by an unethical reporter’s story falsely implicating his father, but he takes on a new identity as Choe Dal-po.

Dal-po keeps up the façade as the school’s worst student but when he gets a perfect score on the quiz rumors run wild and he sets out to prove himself.

After struggling for three years to become a reporter, In-ha informs Dal-po that she finally got an interview -- at MSC, where her mother works.

In-ha’s father asks Dal-po a delicate question. Dal-po and In-ha both decide to apply for a spot at YGN. Dal-po’s father has a surprise for him.

Unable to find his brother, Dal-po learns that he’s been chosen by YGN. In-ha keeps hiccuping, but he tells her he meant what he said during the debate.

The rookies get sent out to cover their assigned districts and brace themselves for a long night. Dal-po sees In-ha coming out of MSC with Seo Beom-jo.

Dal-po and Yun Yu-rae feel certain they have an exclusive -- but so do In-ha and Beom-jo. Upon probing further, Dal-po makes a disquieting discovery.

Dal-po is reluctant to divulge his real name or what he does to Gi Jae-myeong. He notes how much they look alike but can’t shake off a bad feeling.

Dal-po sees his family making the news again in a different way and begs In-ha not to talk to Jae-myeong. In-ha gets the awful truth about her mother.

Stupefied by her mother’s adamant insistence that she did nothing wrong, In-ha presses her to take responsibility of her misconduct at the lecture.
