Lee Shin is a university student majoring in modern music. He is the vocalist of band "The Stupid" and also plays the guitar. He is known for his good looks and his strong passion for music, but is in reality a cold person who is uninterested in non-music related things and has no dreams nor plans for the future. Shin initially likes a dance professor at his university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won. Lee Kyu Won is a bright and outgoing student who was born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Kyu Won's grandfather, Lee Dong Gun, is one of the top 3 traditional musicians of his age, and his biggest wish is to have his grand-daughter trained to become a traditional music prodigy in 10 years' time. Trying to live up to her grandfather's expectations, Kyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing besides traditional music. As Kyu Won's friends are fans of "The Stupid", she was forced to go to the band's concert with them. There she saw Lee Shin performing live, and is immediately captivated by him.

  I Think the other reviews are a little bit harsh .
  This drama isn't a - OMFG we have to kill the director for making this crap
  Neither is it a - Omfg This is AMAZING and I am going to name my child 'heart strings'
  At first it was really promising . It was good and I was interested half way through .
  But some where at episode 8 - 9 I lost interest because it seemed like it was kind of lacking something .
  I think the cast was alright and I don't think Park Shin Hye was a mess or anything it was her character she had to portray .
  I LOVE Jung Yong Hwa . But in this drama I didn't really like his acting
  Or maybe it's just his character .
  But over all It was Alright .
  Like I said Not jaw dropping
  Nor Horrible . read more

  I personally loved this drama. I felt that the main leads were a perfect couple together. This drama is really adorable and cute. It has the sweetest scenes in the world. Not only that, but I loved the cast considering I'm a big Yong Hwa fan. However, lots of people only watch it for the cast and think the story line is poorly written. However, I strongly disagree. The story line is fresh, new, and I don't think it's very cliche. Even the songs were great and addicting! I can also see myself re-watching this drama thousands of times. This drama is definitely must watch for all ages!

  Dream High

  Both dramas are based on music "entertainers" who go to school.

  Glass Mask

  In some views you can't even compare 'Heartstrings' to 'Glass Mask' (there are two seasons), because 'Glass Mask' is better in many ways, but both are about acting and working hard in order to achieve your dreams. GM is not so much about romance as H is, but it shows the reality of being an actor.
