overrated. ridiculous, boring adult angst. agree with others, not sure i can name a character i liked. gave this too many chances., could not continue after episode 8.
Very good, underrated movie. None of the silly story lines. Very good acting and pace. Many lessons taught without forcing them down your throat. Enjoyed it very much and well worth my time.
About half way through and I'm taking a break from it. Totally opposite of many other opinions here- I'm struggling with almost every character being stiff and much of the time, expressionless. None of the main characters ever seem to find even little moments of joy in their lives, regardless of past personal history or current family circumstances. I mean, I understand it's centered around elite levels of music, the seriousness to succeed. Nonetheless, music should be joy, freedom, friendship, self & group expression, a vehicle that brings people together, arguably, more than any other art form.
Through 96 episodes and it is very good (all aspects). Assuming this was a morning drama series, thus, appropriate…
Outstanding, and in my humble opinion, underrated per the ratings on here (7.7)! I give it a 9.0 to 9.5 Full range of life's and a country's emotions during a terrible time in world history. Very heart-wrenching at times. I have a difficult time with historical cultural man-woman, family dynamics and hierarchies in historical dramas. However, I felt this could be a somewhat accurate depiction of two main family’s lives and friends during that slice of time. One hardship after another sprinkled with not enough time for happiness but considering the story context, it’s understandable. Loved the music, art theme and delivery. The liberal arts needs of human beings for pure joy and as a coping mechanism against oppressive and dark circumstance was thoughtfully done. I see why Miyazaki is a beloved actress- she has one of the sweetest and most natural camera presences in all of acting. The supporting cast was varied and most of them also performed well. Very fortunate to be able to see this inspirational asadora which I highly recommend.
she has to be Park Shin Hye long-lost younger sister (or maybe Shin Hye is Yoon Seo's long-lost older sister)! i think i might become a casting director, haha!
Through 96 episodes and it is very good (all aspects). Assuming this was a morning drama series, thus, appropriate for all ages, it's slightly more adult oriented than many other asadoras I've seen (about 12 total so far). Once again, it's confirmation that asadoras are my favorite Japanese format/delivery although I've seen many very good movies and normal length (shorter) drama series.
No, I didn't- moved on to others. To paraphrase- I think it was Frank Zappa who said 'So many books/movies, so little time' If you completed it, how'd it go for you? Best regards
The Bad: if you are not suited for constantly screeching character dialogues (rich boy's mom and the grandma) then you may want to avoid this family oriented, slightly romantic, comedy (not much was actually funny) melodrama. Contemplating dropping this one at episode 9-2, just after the revealing episode, 9-1. The good: the story, the plot, it's branches and twists. the acting of the sight-challenged FL and the child actor who portrayed Bom also was delightful
