Romance meets Realism in an Optimistic Perspective.

Do you like Brahms? No. lol
The story sets around the lives of 6 people who are primarily in the classical music industry with different advantages and disadvantages as they try to navigate their careers, friendships, and love.

To start off, I commend the writer oh so dearly. It's been a while since I met characters who were so willing to adapt to the changes of life and learn from their past mistakes without any unfazed wild situation in their laps. The performances were superb. I don't think I've hated a second lead this much in a long time and Park Ji Hyun definitely nailed the role; she heightened my kill drive. As a first-timer experiencing Park Eun Bin's work, I can definitely say she absolutely played this role to the best of her ability. Kim Min Jae also brought his best to the table, I think his best work yet.

The script was not as progressive as the general crown would like, although I did not think any plotline needed to be revised, I do see from the perspective of people who thought it was lacking. A huge chunk of the first few episodes viewed wasted after the end and a lot of it was more monologue and music-themed. However, that does not distract from the amazing leads in this piece. I would say it's the first time seeing such a strong female lead mentally, someone whose decisions were rationalized with every ounce of moral conviction. Chae Song Ah (Park Eun Bin) was someone who understood the truth, she was patient yet she didn't allow herself to suffer in a prolonged manner. She knew her worth and she worked hard as well, and she knew how to pick her battles. A female lead with such queenly characteristics really wowed me. In a lot of dramas, soft female leads are considered weak, pushovers, and people who are overly swept in their emotions. She definitely broke that stereotype in my opinion and allowed the audience to navigate the different traits within a somewhat calm persona. The characters in general not just Chae Song Ah were really well thought off and planned intricately with the picture of the story. Our male lead was a soft male lead as well so it was a slow-paced heartwarming buildup to their romance. Although in some aspects I would have loved to change his thoughts and reactions to things, in the end, it all came out beautifully.

The cinematography was subtle. I loved the use of warm filters and toned lighting. As well as the costume's color set, it matched out the visual representation of the characters. The music as you expect is wonderful, not just the piano pieces played within the drama but the OST's and the scores were very talented from artists like Chen and Punch.

The drama definitely embodied so many lessons. It talks about passion for one's art and how difficult it can be to be in a career where you are bounded by the levels of talent or influence. It also shows how hard it is to give up something you love so dearly and the importance of mental health in every workforce in order to avoid burnout or even worse health issues. The drama was a smooth watch, I loved the interactions between the leads. They had really good chemistry in an awkward yet pure fashion. If you are looking for a heartwarming romance with music from the greats this is definitely a drama to check out. WATCH IT!
