An outstanding drama with a very original plot and great cast brings this story about classical music to life. Kim Myung Min deservedly won an award for his portrayal of perfectionist symphony conductor Maestro Kang ("Kang-Mae"). Jang Geun Suk was excellent, for all of his 21 years at the time, as novice musician Kang Gunwoo; and Lee Ji Ah rounded out the main characters as female lead, violinist Doo Rumi. An excellent cast of supporting characters help bring the drama to life, as well as providing sub-plots for diversion. There are several faces you'll recognize from other dramas. Serious classical musicians will recognize that the actors are not "really" playing the instruments, but actual musicians are used for background roles, which lends credibility. The drama features many popular classical music pieces and the OST is a nice compilation for a music collection. This hidden gem in kdrama land is well worth the watch. It's a great choice for an original storyline or someone with an interest in classical music; as well as fans of Kim Myung Min and Jang Geun Suk.
