kdrama illogic was hard to ignore
Art & madness are reciprocal.
This show sparked a love for orchestras and classical music in me. In line with both the movie black swan and black swan by bts, it reminded me that art and music are entirely human creations, that as beautiful as may be exist within the tornado of other human creations like wealth and greed. The crumbling yet sticky interpersonal relations were the themes that stuck out to me.
Just to get it out of the way here's what really bothered me— The medical inaccuracies. Jeongyo surviving without specialised help itself was a long shot but the magical surgery just to play 4 hands one last time that culminated in total paralysis is as moving as it is unrealistic.
Apart from that I generally dislike that bromance dramas mostly end on a sort of hopeful yet sad plausible cliffhanger rather than a proper resolution and this one was the most heartbreaking I think. I would've loved for Jeongyo to be able to stay and play alongside Pio and get all the accolades the two of them from the very beginning deserved *together* instead of leaving it all behind.
But other than that, I think Kdramas in general but this one in particular really handles the angsty, melodramatic scenes and storylines perfectly.
