Jinoo

Jinoo is the main character of the 2005 movie, The Toy Warrior.

Personality
Jinoo is a kind-hearted boy who has a lot of toys in his bedroom and who likes to play with them, even though his classmates- especially the other boys -are way more interested in sports and flirting with girls. He does well at skate-boarding.

Jinoo considers his toys as real, alive beings, and his best friend, Ping, is a backpack he saved one day, preventing him from being thrown with garbage.

Most of the kids in his class always laugh at him because of his big interest in toys, making his life boring with no real, human friends. When Sherbet joins his class- referring to herself as "Sherry" -he wants to befriend her, but fails and ends up fighting with her every time they meet.

Jinoo has always wanted to be a hero. His favourite toy is an action figure called the Toy Warrior, and he wanted to be just like him. He finally becomes a hero when he enters the Land of Toys, a world of pure imagination where all the toys are alive. When the kingdom is in danger, Jinoo learns thanks to Sherbet that in this world of imagination, he can transform into one single toy. Jinoo immediately decides to turn into his hero the Toy Warrior, and this decision grants him all of his powers and style : a shining armor, a Booster Pack, and the famous "glowing sword of Justice".

He later figures out that his hero, the Toy Warrior, is an evil lord full of bitterness with a great desire for revenge towards the ones who have decided to draw him back from the toy market because he had a design flaw. Jinoo becomes a true hero when defeating the Dark Warrior by making his head rotating, which makes both his head and his batteries pop out.

Even if they constantly quarrel throughout the movie, Jinoo and Princess Sherbet kind of "love" each other, even though Janoo does not really appear to be interested in romance. In a certain way, Sherbet finally confesses her love for him by hugging him while smilling when she sees that he is alive, back in the real world, giving him the last bit of confidence to defeat the Dark Warrior in a final battle. She kisses him on the cheek at the end of the movie, and then chases him, angry, because of his disgusted reaction- but let us not forget that he is still a little 12-years-old boy who does not know a thing about love and prefers to play with his toys !
