Perfect pick for melo fans
When I started watching this drama, I went in blind regarding the leads - Kim Min Jae or Park Eun Bin. I hadn't watched a single drama of theirs earlier. But the moment I saw both of them together I was blown away! I instantly knew this was going to be something special. The shy and awkward chats, the stealing glances, the frustrating silences...everything was charming abt this couple.The plot is a simple one. A love story between a pianist and a violinist. He has unresolved issues with his past love/childhood friend. She can't seem to break their bond.
But the story also brings us some life lessons - that talent and passion don't always bring happiness and success in life. Sometimes you need to let go of your dreams to find your true purpose.
The pace is slow and the silences are long, but if you are someone who enjoys melos...this is a treat!!! And you will be rewarded with some unexpectedly passionate kisses between the leads and a delicious happy ending.
Watch out for Kim Min Jae.. his deep soothing voice, the rare smiles and those piano pieces (close up of hands, yes!) WILL MELT YOU!

A new benchmark for KDramaland
From the moment the intro begins you know what to expect from this show - an unusual fairytale that's quirky, sophisticated, stylised, dark and melancholic. Leave if it isn't for you, but if you stay YOU ARE IN FOR A DELIGHTFUL TREAT!Casting the three main actors - Seo Ye Ji, Kim Soo Hyun and Oh Jung Se - had to be the best thing to happen to this drama. Ko Moon Young and Moon Sang Tae could have easily become caricatures, but the restrain each actor showed was commendable.
Kudos to the director and writer for never once using the mental patients for comic relief. Everyone had a solid story but their healing process never stole focus from the main characters. On the contrary, they added to the very satisfying finale episode, which is perhaps the best in any TV show ever. The editing, OST, illustrations and, most of all, WRITING was top notch!
This hungry caterpillar chomped it's way through every corner of my heart, wrapped itself in a warm cocoon of giggles & tears, and emerged as the most glorious butterfly, whose dazzling colours are sure to stun all!
