The raw talent of these actors is unmatched. I loved them in their other series but seeing Sang Kang and Lee Jun-young together was fantastic. The storyline heavily focuses on Kang Pio’s struggles as a pianist. The beginning starts with a never ending plea for his grandfather’s praise that he never gets. It was a slow start but picked up when Choi Jeong-yo enters the picture and they collaborate on a four hand piece. They have a relationship that can only be described as frenemies. Friends sometimes, enemies others but the love is always there underneath. The show is heavy on piano playing content and while I appreciate the artists passion and dedication to his craft, I think they could’ve cut some scenes to focus on other elements of the plot. I would’ve enjoyed more character building/backstory for both Choi Jeong-yo and Hong Jae-in. And would love a confession on who Kang Pio’s dad was as I had my suspicions. While, it was somewhat of a bromance, I craved more scenes of the romantic relationship dynamic between Kang Pio and Hong Jae-in. Like did they ever get back together? Did he ever say if he truly loved her? Overall, this series had me obsessively watching for 6hrs straight and made me feel heavy emotions which is what I want from a show but just a few tweaks could’ve made it more well-rounded in my opinion.
