I never like to be harsh about dramas, but I have watched many brilliant dramas so far and believed this drama would have something of substance to offer. The first several episodes promised a great plot, so I continued watching it. But as the episodes went on, the story began going in circles, the acting got faker and faker, and I literally began a tally for who I hated and who I felt pity for in each episode.

The ending was absolutely dreadful. The characters I originally liked, I ended up hating, especially Ga Young. There were so many loose ends, and the ending just could have been constructed much better! At least the cinematography was pretty, but maybe that was because there was no dialogue.

I do NOT recommend this drama, it's a waste of time and emotion.

Considering the last drama I watched was Fashion King (which was a pile of poop), anything would be better than that! Heartstrings is thus titled as a "recuperating" drama, where viewers recuperating from Go Mi Nyeo and Kang Shin Woo not ending up with each other (in the "You're Beautiful" drama) can have that satisfied, or viewers recuperating from wretched previous dramas can enjoy the lighthearted mood of this one.

And that's basically it; this drama is mellow and for the ones that are content at heart! The acting is great, the characters are very adorable and mild in temper (Hee Joo was technically capable of more damage), and the story line is very stress-free and happy! And, of course, the music is awesome (as expected, with the cast being, well, the cast!)~

I recommend giving this drama a watch for several main personal reasons: it's short, it's mellow, and it'll leave you smiling at the end! :)
