I wanted to challenge myself with this show because I really hate affairs. But as the title claims, it is a LOVE affair, not the typical type as I see it, and it revolves more around music. This isn't, however, my kind of show at all. Although I love piano, all the feelings expressed by the leads while playing did not reach me and I felt really bored during 30% of the total time consumed by constant music performances. As it is, I feel like this show is underrated for it is a great piece for its category alright. The acting is nearly spotless, the chemistry was good too, every issue brought in the plot felt real enough and accurate though sometimes I felt like it was way too melo for a serious drama. Then again, perhaps I'm wrong. I'm trying to be unbiased here and you should know how hard it is. I found myself cheering for those two and the drama was compelling enough to keep me playing one episode after another (and I said it isn't my kind of drama). I was dying to see what would happen next. Nonetheless, I feel like this could be well narrowed into a 2h film instead of a 16 episode drama without any losses. But once more I say: this isn't my kind of drama. Yet, there's nothing I can bring forward to stand for my 8.5 rating. I feel like I'm still being unfair but I'll leave it at it. If, like me, you think this doesn't suit your taste, don't watch it unless you're interested in having an unbiased look through the show or you won't be able to properly enjoy it. This is completely different from the shows I'm used to and I have a strange feeling now that it's over but I'd still recommend.
