Heartstrings

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another amazing musical drama called Heartstrings. The drama featured Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa after You're Beautiful again (finally I got to see this pair-up)! I was so excited for this drama, and it was worth the wait. The drama was mainly about Lee Gyu Won and Lee Shin. GW is a traditional music major (gayageum), whereas LS is a modern music major (guitar). The two originally bump into each other at Jeju-do island, but do not really interact too much. After that, GW moves to Seoul with her grandfather, so she can enter university there. One night, she and her friends go to the band "The Stupid", which LS is the lead vocalist. She is immediately mesmerized by their music. After that, LS and GW bump into each other a lot, and argue a lot. During that time, LS was in love with a professor at the school. GW figured it out, but felt pity for him because the professor did not love him back (she loved the director of the play to be produced). Eventually, LS gave up on her, and started to realize how much he liked GW. GW already confessed to him, but at that time he was still getting over the professor. Later, the school play began to be produced, and during that time, GW and LS became closer (even more so when LS moved next door to her). GW was the understudy for the lead actress role, but the lead was jealous of her talent, and so caused many scandals to spread about GW and the director. Eventually, the lead lost her voice due to an ulcer, but GW allowed her to take part in the musical still but with lip-syncing. After that, GW got an opportunity to train abroad and make her own album, but at that time LS got injured from saving GW from a fall, and had to get surgery on his wrist. GW found out about the injury and decided not to go, but LS broke up with her so she would. A year later, LS was still recovering, and playing the guitar again, whereas GW became famous and returned to Korea to take part in the school play again (the director also returned). LS and GW did not interact on good terms because LS tried to avoid GW finding out about the surgery. However, in the end, the director finally told GW, and she had it out with LS. Finally, the end scene involved the two of them going to visit the places they went together, and finding each other again. LS finally returned to the stage, where LS and GW sang with The Stupid. This was a really good drama, and worth the watch. It was light hearted with a few tears here and there. The romance finally made my heart flutter again. It was a good plot with an incredible cast. I give this drama a 5 out 5 stars. Definitely beats You're Beautiful in my opinion. That's it for now.

I'm off,
