a sensitive, sweet and musical melodrama.

this drama is, for sure, an affection for the soul. the whole plot is developed in such a sensitive and careful way that it's practically impossible for you not to cling to the characters, not feel what they're going through. it's beautiful from start to finish.

I cannot fail to emphasize how park eun bin's performance was simply impeccable. I smiled when she smiled, and cried even more when she was sad. chae song-ah became one of my favorite protagonists, with all her kindness and sincerity. it was amazing to see how honest she was about her feelings. it was liberating to see his maturity, his careful way of making decisions, of thinking about his well-being. I could spend hours talking about how amazing this character is.

kim min-jae was not far behind. his character was complex, reserved and also wounded. it was impossible not to feel compassion for our pianist. to see him keeping so much to himself, it suffocated me, it was extremely sad. I'm glad things have improved. it was a caress in the heart to watch him so light, happy in the last episode. despite some bad attitudes having upset me, they were important for her maturation.

lee jung-kyung left me confused about my feelings about her. while I felt anger at her inconsequential attitudes, I saw that she was not a bad person and had empathy for the difficult times she went through. in the end, I ended up just being happy that the character was able to pursue her career as a teacher, she really has a vocation for that. han hyun-ho suffered a lot, it was visible how he loved lee jung-kyung, I cheered a lot for his happiness, he deserved a lot, for everything he went through.

I would also like to talk about how the production of the drama related the characters' feelings to the objects. I thought this was brilliant. the handkerchief, the suitcase with old memories, the sheet music, the musical instruments. the way they associated agonies, memories and doubts to these utensils was memorable, in addition to the music, a key point of this work of art.

about the ending: it was perfect, i can't imagine a better one. it was realistic, sincere and moving. nothing was loose, conflicts were resolved. the couple's chemistry in the scenes warmed my heart with melted butter, I feel fulfilled. I cried a lot, I confess, but I also got my cheeks aching from smiling so much. it was worth it after all.

finally, to prevent this comment from getting even bigger, I can only say that this series has become one of my favorites, for all the care and love they put into the script. it was beautiful to follow this story. this drama will be engraved in my heart, along with all its teachings ❤️.

it didn't work for me.

I was looking for something light when I came across this drama, but I don't think it lived up to my expectations. despite being cute, I don't think it fulfills the role of a romcom well, being very irritating and dragging. I'm going to bring my detailed opinion so that you can understand my point.

about the plot: the plot is very poorly scripted. half of the drama is totally empty, nothing much happens, and the subplots that could be put to good use were left for the last episodes, making everything very superficial and rushed. I know it's supposed to be a light drama, I didn't expect any revealing plots, but I think the background should at least support a plot that's interesting to watch, things just drag on after a few episodes.

in addition, none of the couples know how to dialogue and the amount of shallow fights and disagreements that could be easily resolved with a simple conversation take 90% of the drama time, which made me almost give up on watching, honestly.

about romance: the couple has incredible chemistry and made me smile like a fool for their scenes, they were refreshing and the hight point of this drama (maybe the only point?)

about the main characters: the construction of the female protagonist is terrible, almost non-existent, her personality is generic, the magic formula of cdramas: naive, clumsy and with little intelligence (it didn't work very well this time, I was really irritated with her in several moments). it bothered me a lot as she doesn't have her own development, lasting and well-structured achievements. everything involves the protagonist and his relationship with him.

yes, the male protagonist is cute and much deeper than the FL, but irritating at times. I really couldn't stand him talking about statistical data and stuffing math into everything anymore. besides being pretty unbearable at first.

about the secondary: they have an underdeveloped story (and even kind of boring, I confess) and the only people I really liked were the protagonist's sister and the grandfather of ML, who is a sweet. otherwise they weren't memorable and they didn't even have enough screen time for me to get attached.

overall conclusion: was one of the weakest crdramas I've ever watched, but I think it would work for someone looking for something cliche, fast and with a cute romance, but that's all.
