Haha, exactly what I was thinking. It's interesting and enjoyable enough, but it just doesn't make sense (I'm on episode 7).

Yess, it's that kind of drama! Thank you for reading and commenting.

I like dramas about classical music too. Quartet is a very good drama, very funny! https://kisskh.at/21742-quartet

The absolutely wonderful drama A Piece of Your Mind has some good music in it because the FL is a classical music reccording engineer. https://kisskh.at/38491-half-of-half

You and I on the G-string was not great, but pretty cute. Adults who starts to learn the violin. https://kisskh.at/39095-you-and-i-on-the-g-string

Long Vacation also has some music scenes, the male lead is a pianist. https://kisskh.at/1393-long-vacation (not great but a typical nice j-drama)

Orange Days, a j-drama classic! https://kisskh.at/264-orange-days

When the Weather is Nice, the FL plays the cello.

Some other dramas about music, but not classical
Love Song https://kisskh.at/16775-love-song
Twinkling Watermelon https://kisskh.at/739603-sparkling-watermelon

You’re right, I really, really loved MLN!!

Oh, wow... I can't help it, must be excited for this! I just hope it's not one of those dramas that never airs.

I have watched Soredemo but not the others. Thank you!

Thanks!

I recently watched One Spring Night. To me it doesn't even come close to compare, I barely even liked it.

I strongly recommend A Piece of Your Mind, My Liberation Notes, and maybe When the Weather is Fine, and Summer Strike. If you're open to watching Chinese dramas, I strongly recommend Meet Yourself.

I wish I could rewatch it. The Korean remake was recommended to me by someone who hasn't seen the original. It took 50 minutes before the leads even met. *sigh* And from a hint in the beginning, I suspect Mariko has been turned into a guy and the rest of the family hasn't even been introduced yet. This is why I normally don't wath remakes...

Thank you! It has been on my radar for a while but I haven't watched it yet. Maybe your comment was the push I needed to move it up on my PTW list. :)

Ever since I watched this drama (2016), I have been looking for something similar. I do NOT mean similar plot. I mean the mood and atmosphere, the quiet gentleness, the sad yet heartwarming "feel" of the story, the comfort and connection the leads find in each other, and the cinematography. The only ones I've found are My Liberation Notes and A Piece of Your Mind - by the same screenwriter, so it's not surprising that that's the most similar one I've found! I wish there was more...

Was there really no other way to make it 16 episodes? I have probably never seen something so stupid. They know the villain is obsessed, so if they have to do something crazy as to let Ah Rin travel alone (and her mother isn't there on time after all this!!), why not use it as a perfect opportunity to catch Yun Jin?! It should have been their plan to be there to wait for her to come and take Ah Rin.

I. know, but their bond turned into something stronger than that. :)

Enjoyable and surprisingly good. It could very well have had "Sisterhood" as a title instead of Alliance!

Haha, yeah, for sure!

I think you're right about Kwon Yoon Jin, but I think that it is the twin brother died and the husband is the one who is impersonating him. He makes Kwon Yoon Jin think that he is his brother, and he does this for the same reason he didn't tell his wife: he loves his child but is tired of being a stay at home dad with a wife who is always working, so when his brother died he took his identity as a way to have two lives and no one will see him as a cheater.

Of course, I am not at all sure, it was just what I was thinking!

Oh, is it like that?! I guess I missed something then. I thought the twin brother died and the husband jumped on the chance of having two identities. I mean that the friend actually believes that she is dating the twin but he's actually the husband who is cheating... *lol* I don't know, I thought that way when I watched it, but maybe you're the one who has it figured out!
