Let me first start off to say I started this drama solely for Joo Won as he is one of my favorite respected actors who takes on seemingly a different role every time and is always believable as the person he portrays - he is a true genuine actor who loves what he does <3 I have not seen the original Japanese version or ever read the manga (not a huge manga or anime fan to begin with). Story: Music: Piano's, Violins, Chellos, Flutes, Trumpets & all the rest surround this drama as students are brought together to form their schools own concert team. We follow the lives of Yoo Jin & Nae Il and the struggles they go through in order to achieve their dreams, love and friendship ;) Cast: Cha Yoo Jin (Joo Won) My favorite character out of the whole drama, he was a bit cold, harsh sometimes and rude/arrogant but you could tell he liked all the attention he got from Nae Il and the rest of S orchestra ;) He is always a joy to watch and he fit the role perfectly - I had no doubt that he would (after all he is Joo Won - a master of acting, who always takes his projects seriously). Nae Il (Shim Eun Kyeong) This was my first time seeing this actress at work but I couldn't have wished for anyone else (honestly if it would have been any other actress this might not have turned out so good) she totally fits the part of being childish & naïve and I had a blast watching her pester Yoo Jin throughout the drama ;) When I first saw her (since I never saw the original) I was like 'what's wrong with her?' lol, but she was totally loveable - no wonder Yoo Jin fell for her ;) Il Rak (Go Gyeong Pyo) (I have previously loved this guy on Flower Boy Next Door) and he doesn't disappoint here, he was my 3rd favorite character & one of Cha Yoo Jin's "idiots" lol (You'll understand if you watch the drama). The only characters I disliked in this drama were Mastero Franz von Stressman & Song Mi Na - ugh whenever they came on screen my stomach would churn -_- I could have done completely without them. & may I say the strict music teacher Do Kang Jae reminded me of the Grinch whenever I saw him :p Music: My favorite piece was the Violin solo by Il Rak (by Tchaikovsky (sp?)) & a piano piece Nae Il played once, and the concert that S did when they were all dressed up 50's style^^ I'm not really a "classical music" fan - but sometimes some of it is fun ;) Re-watch Value: I will probably re-watch this one day as it was enjoyable - but not too soon ;) I debated what I should rate this drama - 9 or 8.5 but since I love Joo Won so much and I know he put in a lot of effort - I've given it a 9 - the acting was stellar ;)
