Seemingly endless pianos and violins...

This drama has a lot of good to offer the story is they type to both piss people off but also has a whole lot of sweetness, longing and at times meaningful dialog. Though I may not always agree with the dialog they do show a slightly different approach to some pretty important stuff... again not that I always agreed with the way they handled things but I could recognise some of the strings of thought in there and I liked that...

The family and friendships shown here are adorable. There is also an adorable second couple that more or less outshines the leads and could probably get a series of their own.

Unfortunately all is drowned out by endless monologs, piano music, violins... And flashbacks... I wonder if we ever get to her the people talking without the sound of a piano... Honestly I was wishing for just one moment of silence, but do not think I got it.

I have seen that there is a movie version to this that is 2,5 hrs long, that should cut out some of the flashbacks but not all as I am sure you could easily boil it down to 1 hr of pure storytelling if they would just have done som soul searching and editing.

The chemistry is decent, the acting inconsistent but good when it really matters and Nut/B1 is adorable from start to finish. The scenery is lovely and there is a really cute dog in there too.

In conclusion, if you can find the movie watch it instead of the drama, if you watch the drama prepare yourself for flashbacks and montages...
