I always have a room for historical kdrama during Japanese occupation (not so saeguk, i guess?). So, this one is kind of good for me. Like the other dramas with this kind of time setting, it usually ends with tragic story line, but thats also what makes those dramas memorable and loved.
Hymn of Death is basically portraying a tragic love story between a stage drama director and a classical singer. The situation is hard during that time, it made them so hard to be together (especially Woojin is a married man). The ending was also kind of tearjerking... it was painful and sad that they had to chose to end their life together. Overall, i really love the story (it is based on true story) and the execution of makin this drama. Good job!
