Just three syllables: Kim Myung Min. Solely his larger-than-life Kang Ma-E makes this drama worth watching. The rest of the cast also did a good job, including Jang Geun Suk, in a different role from what we're used to see him playing. This drama focuses mainly in character development (also the major shortcomings in BV lie in this area) and in music. In fact, you could say classical music is the true main character in this, and the repertoire is fairly chosen (although I expected a little more originallity, to be honest). Therefore, do not expect a typical romance story. The tension between politics and culture plot had its potential but it was overall a little boring to me. I enjoyed some other subplots much better. You could call this a minor drama, but still I found it really interesting and I recommend its view.
