Unexpectedly a great drama

I found this drama unexpectedly and managed to marathoned it all 16 episodes with the lack of sleep :).

Plot :

Seriously did not expect that fantasy, slice of life, entertainment drama can be this good and managed to intrigued me. Watching this drama until the end feels like watching a life lesson about greed. For me, this drama manage to made me emotionally involved that I cry on every single episodes since the first 3 episodes whether it is sad, happy, frustration, and any other emotions that portrayed by the character especially ML.

The story is well paced up until the last 2 episodes it seems a bit rushed but still ended in satisfactory and expected way, imo.

Acting:

Honestly, Jung Kyung ho and Park Sung Woong performance are top notch. Other actors also really did well in this drama. This drama introduced me to Song Kang as a really great potential new actor and it shows (seeing his filmography up until now 2021).

Music:

This drama is about musicians and it make sense that it has a lot of OST. However, I rarely like most of the OST of a 'entertainment & music genre' drama OST. It did surprised me how every single one of the OST managed to make it on my playlist up until now even the 80/90s version of the OST.


Rewatch Value:

I often rewatch it for the key moment and when they sing the song. Especially when Jung Kyung Ho and Song Kang busk together.

Overall:

I can say that this is one of my top 5 drama of 2019. i wish it get more recognition from others. It is sad that many people steer clear of this drama due to the 'devil' and fantasy aspect of this drama and missed out the essence of this drama that it tries to deliver is beyond the devil and the fantasy.
