I actually saw this drama some time back and I realized I never wrote a review on it. Honestly, I tend to avoid melodramas. Most of them don't appeal to me because they are just too sad. I usually find them unbelievable and difficult to relate to. I believe Spring Waltz is not one of those. It's actually an old drama- the last installment of the Endless Love series. Its predecessors are all widely loved and were the ones responsible to spread the Hallyu wave. I never found the other installments appealing however I decided to give this a chance. I won't say this is a drama that captivates you immediately. It's like candy with a tasteless exterior. You need to chew it long enough to thoroughly taste its sweetness which is hidden inside. As the drama progresses, its characters grow on you. The aspect I love most about it was its romance. In spite of the fact that I wasn't a fan of the main male lead, I think he did a good job. I have a thing for characters like him who are musicians with a sad past. The female lead is an ordinary kdrama heroine but that doesn't mean she isn't memorable. Han Hyo Joo did an excellent job of her character. This is the drama I got introduced to her through and she's among my favorite actresses now. The plot is cliche by all respects. The first four episodes focus on the childhood of the main characters. It has an insecure second lead and bad mother-in-law just like most of the kdramas have/used to have. Rest is some makjang and then the ending- which is the best part about it. The cinematography of this show is excellent. It has several breathtaking views in every episode and the camera work is really eye-catching. Plus the beautiful pieces for the background score were all very soothing to listen to. The OST is really great. I think this drama has a decent rewatch value. It's something I would watch later on when I am in mood of old kdramas.
