As I watched this title, a quote came to my mind, “Whatever the world throws at me, I’ll stride with my violin.” No, I’m not a violinist - I’m not a musician to be exact. I’m just a piano student in a hiatus because of Covid hehe. But it got me right in the feels. Every music on this drama was just EXCELLENT.

This drama never got into my watchlist right from the beginning. I’m never a melodrama lover to begin with, and I try to avoid watching them since the only romance drama I watch are romcoms and I prefer watching action and crime dramas. I watched this drama because of pure curiosity since the OST singers were just great and talented artists I really adore. However, this drama changed my mind, I began to enjoy the slow paced, gloomy, rather bland kind of drama. It was angsty, but fluffy at the same time, that’s what made me enjoy this drama and decided to watch until the end.

1st-9th episode: Gets better and better each episode
10th: The least interesting episode in my opinion
11th-13th: It was okay - what made it okay was the fact that it has a lot Jung Kyung & Hyeon Ho fluffs <3
14th-16th: YES. Loved it! Angsty but ends with pure fluffs

What I really like from this drama is that it has no cliches that most dramas always add. This drama has no childhood friends to lovers storyline, no rich man poor woman genre, just a plain but very beautiful storyline, new OG in the house! ;)

It’s been so long since I felt butterflies and that warm feeling on my stomach. The last time I felt those kind of feelings was when I read fanfictions long time ago *fangirl detected ;)*. Do You Like Brahms brought back those feelings and I really really liked it! I’ve never even stayed watching the previews at the end, but the OSTs of this drama made me stayed! Baekhyun, Chen, Taeyeon, G.O.D, Punch, Heize, Jo Yuri (IZ*ONE), K.Will were just so excellent. I just can’t explain how their voices made the drama 10x better. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who is now enjoying hearing classics especially Traumerei because of Joon Young :P

For people who had trouble in deciding to watch this or not or people who had trouble in deciding to continue or drop this drama, let me give you a head start warning ⚠️ This drama is only for those who can stand with fluffiness and a lot of crying scenes. It is predictable, but you’re not gonna regret watching it. Once you passed the 10th episode, it gets better and better so I prefer you don’t drop this drama. The acting, on the other hand, doesn’t really WOW me, but it’s really worth the watch ⚠️

I really wished Jung Kyung and Hyeon Ho had more screen time together, I really love this second-lead couple! :’( But overall, a really great drama I recommend. 9/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
