Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

lmerana With joo won, bogum ang kyung pyo but the female lead is so into her chatacter that it becomes annoyingly unbearable. Music are not good either plus the ahjussi that kept on calling her "baby" sounded like a pervert.

jaime_mon_poil How can you write a TV series focused on music while not knowing a thing about music and orchestras? How can you direct a TV series focused on music while not researching it in order to give an accurate result on the screen? And as an actor, you also have to make your own research, to play a musician accurately!!! First, pianists don't move their shoulders, when they play. It looks so fake when I see large shoulders movements on screen! Second, cellists do not hold their bow with their hands upside down! How uncomfortable it might be! Third, when a conductor leads, he does not just wave a stick in the air, as he pleases! There are specific shapes to draw, so that musicians know in which beat they are in the measure. Four, in one episode, some students try to trick Cha Yoo-jin by exchanging their parts: oboe will play the clarinet's melody and clarinet will play the oboe's melody. As if it was hard to distinguish the two! As if Cha Yoo-jin was such a genius to discover the trick... I mean, oboe and clarinet do not sound the same at all! It is really easy to sort them apart. If you don't know music and if you never played in an orchestra, you might get fooled, but anyone who really played in an orchestra knows this series is totally botched.

phoenix 2 Cute, but the story was weak...Many might point out that the leading lady's character was annoying, however, I found her interesting and I liked her dynamics with her love interest and the other students that she befriended. However, the main story was kind of weak to keep the interest high till the very end. Some themes were repeated and the twists were predictable. Also, I would have liked the girl's past to have been presented more in depth, because there was something interesting there. Anyway, all in all, cute enough, so 3 out of 10.

Telford Work While staying in Korea for four months, I decided to dip my toe into K-Drama, and this 2014 series came up in our search results. As our high-school age daughter is a violinist, this was a natural series for us to try. Our American family has loved it. Moving and uplifting story lines, the right number of goofy and absurd moments, great classical music, a tolerable level of contrived situations to keep us in suspense from episode to episode, and characters we really grew to love. I wish it went longer than sixteen episodes! I don't yet know whether this series is typical or atypical for K-Drama, but if the miniseries are all this good, we're going to have a lot of fun watching them.
