    this drama was okay i guess, it was worth watching. I have to admit that at some points I wanted to stop watching it because it got a little bit boring but I continued to watch the drama. As the drama nearly ends, it got really interesting and I really wanted Rumi and Kang Mae to end up together, but in the end............well you have to see for yourself. The last few episodes made me cry a lot. This drama was alright.

    If you're a classic music lover, then I strongly recommend this drama. It is, as you may have figured, a musical drama. The facts, the phrases, the music... It's all real. I also really approve of the fact that they used real musicians in the orchestra (except from the obvious faking actors, of course). Big big thumbs up!



    I have to say, the conductor really really impressed me. It's hard to copy the movements of a conductor, and he did a good job. He must have suffered a lot while learning, so kudos to him!



    The acting is great and believable. The drama mainly focuses on character development, but it also has moments of relationships and drama as the "obvious

  • after only watching the 1 ep it felt very similar to NC, Kang Gun Woo felt just like Chiaki Shinichi even tough they have different personalities and background they are similar about being conductor on a orchestra full of amateurs and the male lead being an apprentice to a great conductor

  • Both of these Korean dramas star Kim Myung Min. Having KMM withdrawals after King of Dramas? Try Beethoven Virus. He is an amazing actor. His character in Beethoven Virus also reminds me of his character in King of Dramas a tiny bit as well.

    Great drama, held high expectations for it, ending was a disappointment, but still worthy of a 8 out of 10

    perfect example of the typical drama where the poor sweet girl falls for the rich mean guy as always. except this time he's really old and has absolutely no redeeming qualities whats so ever.
    i dropped this drama with only two episodes left to watch...
