Firstly I wish to say that this show is by no means perfect. In fact I imagine many people will not like it. However for those who give it a chance and can connect it will be a valuable and worthwhile watch. It was a type of drama that made me think and reflect on my own values which is the only reason I rate it quite highly. 

While searching for music related dramas I found this and was pretty impressed.

Let’s start with the story. For me it was interesting but also needlessly complicated. Half way through the drama I couldn’t help but think that there was just one too many love interests/ relationships. Plus each relationship was complicated and by episode six/seven I was frustrated enough to consider dropping it. Sometimes though frustration can be good, and this is where the show shines, because I was frustrated because I cared about the story and it’s characters.

The other great part about the story was what it had to say about the music industry and those who pursue a career in music. There were basically two views/ beliefs the characters had. One, music should be perused for love and joy. Essentially you should enjoy making music and not care about popularity,money or success. The second view is that making music is a business and you should be willing to sacrifice the things that you love in order for you to succeed. After all the music industry is a tough field to break into and not everyone can make a living as a musician.

Because of the complexity, it felt like characters had extra depth and I liked the fact that their was really no typical ‘bad guy’. Just a bunch of flawed people who did the wrong thing for debatably the right reason. By the end of the show every character has experienced some sort of character development.

Needless to say the cast of the show were amazing and enjoyable to watch. The rapport between the characters was believable and I knew that the actors were definitely enjoying their friendship. I just loved the clique and their interaction with one another.

Regarding music, I will simply say that it was pretty good and I will definitely listen to it for a long time coming.
