This drama drove me nuts! I kept bumping on it here on MDL, it also had Ji Hyun Woo in it, so after rewatching Queen In Hyun's Man, I said to give it a try. The story was not something promising. Take your typical jerky singer, a talented but poor girl, a rich and nice guy as the second lead, and a flat marionette-second-female-lead, and you get Trot Lovers. As I said, nothing new, but the first episodes were really enjoyable, I laughed a lot, and I could feel the chemistry between the leads, so it was bearable. At some certain points, my heart fluttered when the leads were close, so I thought that this drama will go up in my top. But as the clichees came, the story was ruined, so it became kind of hard to watch... The producers wanted to approach many subjects, but they started them and they either never finished them, or left them unclear. On the other side, the cast was great. I really liked Ji Hyun Woo as Joon Hyun, and Jung Eun Ji as Choi Chun Hee. I have never heard of her before, but I really loved both the actress and her character. Also, her voice is amazing, and I really enjoyed the times when she performed. Shin Sung Rok was amazing, he really is a great actor. I have seen him in You Who Came From The Stars, as the psycho brother, and I really hated his character. Here, as well, he sold his character very well., Also, how could I not mention the bromance moments? Lee Se Young was just... flat. I felt sorry for her character at some points, but neither the acting nor the character caught me. Yoo Eun Mi was the cherry on the cake, I really loved her character, and I was so happy to see her! She made me keep watching the drama lol. Also, I really liked Tae Song and Pil Nyeo. Great cast! About the music... I really liked when they sang, those were some great moments, but the OST didn't really catch me, it felt... poorly made. Rewatch value? No, I won't rewatch this drama. Overall, I gave it a 6. I couldn't decide between 5 and 6, but I gave it an extra point for the cast! :) If you want to watch a drama full of clichees, which becomes overly dramatic, you can watch this. But if you want to watch a drama that brings something new, something well-done, keep searching, this may not be the drama you are looking for.
