KDrama to Watch: Heartstrings (2011)

Heartstrings (2011)

Grade: A-

15 Episodes 

Lee Shin and Gyu Won are both students at a prominent music university. Shin is a western music major with a successful band on the side, and Gyu Won is a traditional music major who plays the gayageum (sort of like a large lap harp). Shin has an ego, and Gyu Won would rather have nothing to do with him, but when Shin insults traditional music, she and her group challenges Shin's band to a battle. The loser has to be the other leader's “slave” for a month. Of course, Gyu Won loses, and Shin abuses her at first, but deep down he's really not a mean-spirited person and it's easy to like him. 

This drama has a good pace and reminded me a lot of high school and college because of the musical productions and camaraderie that come from those experiences. Loved the music, both leads are very cute, although the ending did drag a bit and wasn't quite as satisfying as I would have liked, it was a great drama to watch. 
 
*Very cute series, will watch again, Top 5 for sure.*
