I just finished watch this drama 2 weeks ago. At first this drama wasn't on my Korean-drama list, but after a few review on this drama I have a courage to watch it until the end. I was blown away by the brilliance of this drama. The majestic combination of perfect acting by Yoo Ah In and breathtaking portrayal of their passion, the amazing directing and cinematography, and most of all the phenomenal choice of classical music got me hooked.
I am so in love with this drama because they played so many beautiful pieces of classical geniuses music such as Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff Rhapsody and many more...Most of the pieces were played by the main leads (I cannot believe that the actors are playing those music sheets, I wonder how long does the actors practice to play them so professionally) Anyone who has any appreciation for classical music is going to enjoy this drama enormously. And I'm not overselling it by stating that it's through the music that we can truly understand their passion, their fears and their love.

Let me share the video of Yoo Ah In playing the piano (got it from yooahinsikseekland.wordpress.com). Hope everyone would enjoy it;
