I'll start backwards here. The end was good, sweet, I liked the last 5 minutes of it. Happy, happy, cute, cute. However, the story seemed to lack something important. It seemed to be hard to follow in that I wasn't sure what the actors were trying to say or convey. Oh and Ji Eun's "friends" I wanted to pull my hair out I hated them so much. Am I being a bit to harsh? It was also so back and forth I could hardly stand it, I wanted to scream. I hate feeling like that at all. I know sometimes it might be unavoidable in a drama but if I watch 16 episodes of something and I feel that way through nearly all of them or some part of every episode I don't care how great it ends in that last 5 freakin minutes it was hardly worth watching. I totally skipped half epsisode 15 because I couldn't take it. Ah but the lead guy young jae was too cute with his little boy faces though I'd probably want to kill him in real life, he was totally cute though I wanted to beat him most of the series.

I liked a lot about this but there was also a lot that bothered me. Still it was a really good show and I would totally recommend people to watch it if you like action and a touch of romance, hot guys and intrigue. However, for me, it lacked the ending I crave and so I base a lot on what I think of an ending. It wasn't a bad ending just not my kind of ending. It was too ambiguous for me and not the final, polished, finished, fabulous ending I like. But as it was not meant to be a romance drama it still ending well. It seemed to leave it open for a second part. The story was great and though not typically my type of show it was very good.

I am a die hard \"You\''re Beautiful\" fan and after watching this I still prefer the K-version over the J-version. I thought the J-version seemed to be missing the depth, humor and feeling (and hotness) of the K-version. However, on saying this, it was still very good and the ending was much better and more finished then the K-version. It took that extra two minutes and finished it off so nicely. I also loved that they brought in Jang Geun Suk in one of the episodes as himself, ah so cute.
I also thought the J-version did very well in voicing Ren and Mio\''s like for each other. \"Ren\" the Hwang Tae Kyung of this version grew on me pretty fast. So I was able to accept him quickly. \"Mio\" the Go Mi Nam of this version is very good also and is pretty much the same in either version to me just not quite as ditzy acting. The other two main guys I never really excepted very well I can\''t even remember there names in J-version. Sadly, it was too hard for me not to compare them to Jeremy and Shin woo. But the story is not entirely the same so it was different enough to keep me interested. I still liked it a lot because the story is still a great one.

Okay, first, I watched this drama because it seemed intresting. AND I'm a huge fan of You're beautiful, Park Shin Hye, and CNBLUE (Yonghwa, oh my god, I love him, and the other members too ofcourse). But first I though, "I Can't be expecting tooooo much, just because i loved You're Beautiful. But really, i really really loved this drama. Just as much as i loved You're beautiful. Okay, at first i though i would give 10 to everything. But first: at the Acting/cast i gav 8 BECAUSE... Yonghwa. I really do love and adore him, and Y.E.S, his acting skill was muuuuch more better in Heartstrings than in You're beautiful, but of course not good enough. Still, I think his talented ;) And Park Shin hye? She is super amazing, ofcourse i would give ten to her ! And yeah, REWATCH VALUE: I gave 9.

Because... i'm not a person who likes to rewatch. At least... it have to be 1 year after the first time i've watched it! :) But Heartstrings really was great. I just wished the kiss would be more... you know, and less awkward :) <3

I wasn't sure about watching a period drama but I loved this so much I bought the series. I am laughing right now thinking about some of the most awesome scenes. I am a happy ending girl but I also have to enjoy the story that gets you there as well and I really did with this. I smiled stupidly in front of the computer screen so many times, I laughed out loud, I sat on the edge of my seat calling out stupid, ahh and the cuteness, of course the cute guys helped also. It's not just the lead guy and gal but the other two main guys are so awesome. I loved them almost more then Lee Sun-joon and Kim Yoon-hee. Though I really didn't think that Lee Sun-joon was as cute as the other guys, he really starts to grow on you as the show progresses and though I loved the character Gu Yong-ha it was totally the Moon-Jae-shin character that stole my heart and probably half the show and omg they all had great chemistry. I liked that this was light enough not to stress me out or make me want to kill myself. It was addictive enough to stay up most of the night because I couldn't not watch just one more episode. I finished it in two days and have re-watched it with my mother who loved it and because it has some action in it my brother started getting into it so now he is watching it.

I had very low expectations going into this since the story didn't seem very interesting and I didn't think the actors had much chemistry in You're Beautiful and didn't see that changing. Which, it didn't, to be frank. The chemistry was still pretty awkward, but I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. A big contributor to me liking this drama was the fantastic music (LOVE the meshing of Western and Eastern Traditional), which is good since the drama revolves around music.



I struggled getting through the first episodes. They dragged and a lot of time was wasted with Shin's schoolboy crush on the dance professor. It started picking up, but then as soon the leads officially got together, it got dull again. It was the very last few episodes that made the earlier ones just about worth it.



There were characters I felt they spent too much time with and then there were characters I didn't get nearly enough of (the singer with stage fright, for example). Also, the secondary romance between Hee Joo and Joon Hee was more interesting than the main (imo, it would have made for a better drama if it HAD been the main).



This drama had many, many problems, but for a person going in with low expectations, it was fairly fun to watch. It's really not half bad, but certainly no "must-see" by any stretch of the imagination. If you're bored and sick (which is what got me to finally finish it) it's not a bad watch, but you really won't miss much if you just download the amazing soundtrack.

This a really great movie. Its interesting to see how each of the 4 couples relationships remain throughout the 2 years that they are separated due to their military service. Couples you expect to stay together, break apart and couples you expect to dissolve surprisingly flourish. I loved the entire cast but especially enjoyed the performance by Jang Hee Jin ( can be seen in Spy Myungwol) because her character was different than what i'm used to seeing from her other roles. My only problem with this movie is not enough Jang Gun Suk lol. No but really this movie is really interesting and has a cool cast of characters. I loved it and will easily watch again!

First of all it was actually really hard to find links to watch this drama. I know that I missed out on a lot b/c of that reason. If u watch this don't expect the links on epdrama.com or dramacrazy.net to work all the time. The wat links don't even try b/c u will be disappointed.



Ok well now let me get down to bizness. I loved this story more than I did the 1st 1. This made more sense of how the characters came together. I really enjoyed watching the characters develop & the relationships. There was some good rock music that was played at different times throughout this drama. I might watch this again but it is not on my high priority list of rewatchable dramas. Even though this drama is slow to move through the story at times, it will keep u interested & wanting to know what is going to happen next. I think this is a drama that others will either just love or just hate, but u have to watch it to find out which group u will be in.



I personally think this would have been a much better drama if it was like a continuation of the 1st season. I think I would have understood the story a little more if the parents of the Dukes had been the cousins from the previous season, but it was still good the way it was.
