Welcome to another Korean drama review!!
I waited until this drama was completed before I actually started watching it. Which I have to say was a grand decision. I don’t want to portray this drama as boring because it really was not. But at the same time, it was not exciting or particularly interesting. It is just a very chill, calm drama. There are a few dramas that I can think of that gives off the same vibe. Dramas that I really enjoyed, just like this one. More of this in the review.

Review
I can tell you now that the synopsis is everything important about this drama. Essentially, this drama begins with a practice session for a coming performance. This is where we find out about Song-ah’s lack of talent and her failure as a violinist. Here we also meet the lead performer, who is a well known, albeit low on popularity pianist, Joon-Hyung. We slowly get to know Song-ah as a person outside her ability to play the violin. She is a really hardworking person, who despite picking up the violin late was able to get into one of the most prestigious music colleges in Korea. She decides to take a break from the violin and work as an intern in a classical music management company. This company happens to be the one managing the low on money but yet talented Joon-Hyung. They slowly begin to get close to each other but there is another block in the way of their newly formed friendship.
Joon-Hyung childhood friends, Jung-Kyung and Hyun-ho. The two of which are dating but on rocky grounds, since Jung-Kyung has feelings for Joon-Hyung but was unwilling to accept her feelings until much later in their relationship (I mean 10 years down the line is a long freaking time). Anyways Joon-Hyung also has feelings for Jung-Kyung but because her family is rich and he is poor (in addition she is dating his friend) he decides to keep his feeling hidden. However, he meets Song-ah and he finds solace with her. He always thinks of her when he is sad and he needs comfort. This helps him realize that he was in love with her.
So much more happened in this drama, I do not want to give it all away. I hope you check out this drama. If you have watched it, what do you think? Do you think I have rated it right?
