Honestly, I am speechless when I finished watching this drama. I have never watched a short drama before with only three episodes and so I didn't have high expectations for this one. To be sure of my review, I decided to watch it again since it's only three episodes. This drama caught my attention in the first place because of how short it is when I googled it and that I am familiar with the lead female whom I know is a great actress for such a young age. However when I first had a glimpse of it, I decided to drop it since I find the beginning as another ambitious and exaggerated way of showing how gifted these students are. However, when I decided to watch it again a month or two later, and got past that 'beginning', I was able to appreciate it in ways that I would have never expected I would before. Plus, that I am quite familiar now with the other casts, my desire to watch this drama was even stronger. And I am glad that I had taken that step and finished this drama. The storyline is quite simple with twists that are quite predictable but still has the ability to surprise you. For a short drama, I am quite surprise how almost all the necessary things that you would expect from a 16-episode drama can be found in this one: character growth, changing perspectives in life, rivalry turned to alliance, learning that our dreams may not be what we truly want or need and other matters that one can find in a slice-of-life drama. One thing that I find really fascinating in this drama is the simplicity of the story and the absence of unnecessary fillers. I love how every scene contributes to an ending nobody expected but were contented about. The flow of the story is smooth and consistent with the main problem or goal of the whole drama. Acting/Cast: The acting was quite impressive especially with the male leads. I love how the piano and the music itself contributes to symbolically represent each character. I didn't expect to be moved by this. But I was and this deserves a bucket of happy tears. Music: Music is good given that this is a drama driven by music itself. In this part, I'm referring to the piano pieces the characters chose to play and I find that the music, as I've said, complements well with the characters. A definite 10 for rewatch value. This is a drama perfectly suited for young adults. I love how this drama can actually redirect you if your goals in life are quite blurry. The writer did a great job. I recently found out that this writer also wrote one of my favorite dramas, I Can Hear Your Voice, and so I am not anymore questioning why it's a good one. I hope to see more of this in the future but would love it more if it's a 16 episode drama.
