I could watch this one over and over just to catch "good" Gun Woo smiles!...but overall I did enjoy the story as well. The ending was a little less than I wished but still liked it.

It's just weird that you never know when the music is good or crap, since it's always sounds like dog poop like Mastro Kang would say! The quality of the acting-performing is quite disturbing too. Besides this, it's the best drama. They should definitely make a season II, with improvements regarding the music. And Maestro Kang, please marry me!

Found the one plot line of the conductor and the young violinist a little awkward but overall it was very good!

Kim Myung Min is an outstanding actor. I have never seen an actor with such ability. Right behind him is Jang Geun Suk, he fits his role so perfectly and perform as an amazing actor. I was very disappointed at the lead female performance Lee Ji Ah...she really not a suitable actress nor performer. Overall, this was an outstanding drama.

In the begining I was a little sckeptical, but I ended up watching the whole thing and I do not regre it. The music is awsome and the story is not so bad. a lot of crying for my taste but other than that I have no complaints.
