Synopsis:
An elite meticulous musical genius and a messy
out-of-control pianist. This unlike pair somehow matches up and together with a
group of colorful young classical musicians and an eccentric world-famous
conductor, they start to create the most unique wonderful world of music. They
are all against the conventional orders and rules, and try to make the most of
their lives with humor and passion for music. Each character has a special (or
weird) story to tell and they confront with each other hard and unite strongly.
Based on a popular comic, this is a hilarious comedy with brilliant young
ensemble cast and full of great classical music.
Thoughts:
Can't believe I forgot about this. This is totally one of
the top contenders for first place in Best Asian Drama I ever watch. The
synopsis tells a lot about the drama already. Fan of classical music? If yes,
then give this a try. The best drama to show the greatness of classical music.
No, then still give it a try, I was not a fan of classical music but after
laughing through the humor and comedy, I became a fan of classical music. Huge
use of slapstick-comedy in here.
Best concept, story and music. It even caused South Korea to produce a remake
of it called Tomorrow's Cantabile. But the remake is not as good as the
original probably because I'm biased but I will not post the drama here because
it is not a strong competitor as of right now.
So, to explain what happen up there, This drama is complicated, not the story
but the way they divide the story. The drama itself has 11 episodes which only
covers until volume 9 of the manga it was based from. The pluses up there are
continuation of the story in a continuous form basis. Fusing everything
together, Every single one up there together with the pluses is in a sense or
entirety the drama itself.
