Heartstrings (2011)

It was the first drama I saw on laptop, I was totally betwitched by the main leads. I loved their acting. The ost was awesome, you will remember it for long. As for the story it is sweet rom com.
Main lead couple were very cute throughout the series. The will make you fall for them. In the starting you will enjoy the main leads fighting (not serious but enjoyable).

Jung hwa looked amazing throughout the drama. You will first find him cold but then after few episodes you will love his character as he becomes a caring boyfriend.

I really liked Park shin hye's role as a optimistic girl. I loved her role. You will be sometimes happy and somtimes sad for her .

This series includes a lot of things about music, so if you are a music lover you will love to watch it. It has both traditional and newer instruments used.

Ending was good I was crying(happily) as the main leads meet.

I have only had problem with starting when hero loved second lead heroine. I also dont like the chairman and dean of college.

So all total it was a addictive drama with a nice plot.

When this drama came out I was very eager to watch it. I, like most, watched 'You're Beautiful' and really wanted to watch a drama where Yong Hwa and Shin Hye actually get together.

The first few episodes were really good and after the first three I got really hooked on this drama. Then I watched up to episode 9 and the pace of my watching the drama slowed dramatically. After episode 11, I put it on hold since I was struggling to finish it.

They story started off really good but the twists in the story just piled up and became a regular thing which meant that the story line just got boring. It kind of dragged on...

The good things about this drama was the good actors and the amazingly catchy music. The songs were brilliant and so after a long gap, I am going to finish this drama : )

This was one of my first dramas. It was an amazing ride, and I still rewatch everytime I get bored and miss some Shin Hye and Yong Hwa.

It is a very decent school drama. The actors are good, the couples are cute, the music is amazing and the main plot of the school musical is so good you don't want to stop watching it.

The drama tackles everything from being in love to deciding your own future, with sweetness and touching moments. The last episode has so messy last minute writing that defnitly takes some points out of it, but I don't think that very last plot before the end has that big of impact.

Overall, a very good drama.

Although I do see some valid points in the reviews before this one, I enjoyed this drama to no end. The plot was messy and all over the place but that's probably due to the writer switches and PD/Director switches and not to mention Mrs. Park's car wreck that prolonged/altered the story that set this drama off the balance early on. With all that in mind - the drama (with those elements factored in) wasn't the worst drama I've seen and not the best. It was more like a comfort food. It kept me full and was soothing while doing so. It doesn't have a deep plot but the characters carried it for me. Set aside how much of a babe Yonghwa is, Minhyuk's character was just oodles and oodles of fun for me. It's cliche, but I liked every minute of it.

I was led here by Park Shin Hye. I became obsessed with this drama with the first episode, which is rare for me. Usually by the third or fourth episode of a drama, I'm hooked. Anyway, I absolutely LOVED this drama so much. I typically am not interested in drama's heavily involving musicals or instruments but with Heartstrings, I found myself on youtube looking for 'Habanera cover by Windflower and The Stupid'. Next thing I know, I'm jamming out to the song in the middle of class! Another thing- I fell in love with every character in this drama. Especially Hee Joo. At one point I was cursing her out, and in the next moment I was like 'Aww Hee Joo I love you'. I would recommend this drama to anyone who loves to fangirl... A LOT. I FANGIRLED SO MUCH DURING THIS!!!!!!

This drama, I was hella looking forward to because the two leads were the people I wanted so BAD to be together in YAB, and I couldn't believe that my delusional dream came true!



Although the drama was disappointing in terms of plot wise. The actors and actress are pretty lovable, I absolutely adore the abs guy in this drama he is just absolute eye candy (besides Yonghwa) there should have been more scene with him. Yonghwa's acting was a tad too stiff for my liking, most of the time he looked dead though I thought he seriously improved in the last episode.

And is it just me or was the kisses between Yonghwa and PSH awkward LOOL, its just didn't work for me.

I absolutely LOVED the OST of this drama. The songs 'Because I Miss You' and 'You've Fallen For Me' both sung by Jung Yonghwa are my favourites from the OST.

This was a trademark k-drama so further review can't really be considered spoilery as it happens in basically every drama.

However, If you can live with or it doesn't bother you that:
1. The good ones, as usual, get all walked over by bad ones who don't get any punishment or retribution, everyone's all friends afterwards instead of getting burned alive.
2. Drama adds totally unnecessary drama just to drag it longer and so it certainly dragged the last 3 eps instead of flowing nicely (thou not that the added drama was draggy, it went well... but could've done without it)
3. The completely unreasonable break up. I'm not even gonna comment on that one.

THEN if you can overlook those 3 above, I would recommend watching it cuz I truly enjoyed Heartstrings up till end of ep 12 when noble idiocy took place and it annoyed me to anger. Had someone warned me of it I would've been prepared & not as angry, could've just rolled my eyes and munched on popcorn while cussing them XD

It was fun, the music was great & the main leads were great :)
Even with the trademark wide eyed & stiff act from heroine whenever kiss is involved.

#3 has now made me rather vengeful, cuz I don't even remember which drama it is by now that has all the 3, well, 4 if we count stiffness too, trademarks that could totally be done without as it only ruins the drama for me. I really wanna find a drama where for once when the idiot who breaks up with their loved one for their own good aka so that loved one could achieve whatever, they wouldn't get back together and the loved one would find new love & live happily ever after, while the idiot who decided to break up for the better & let go instead of holding on & not letting go, would then wallow in misery. Would totally serve him/her right.

So yeah, while I liked the drama, the #1-3 has ruined it for me and not gonna watch it again.
Goody two shoes are overrated, stand up for yourself and don't be a well meaning sacrificial idiot either!
If they had left out the mess and had this ending, I would've re-watched it again, but now it's barely worth watching once.
Plot was good, actors did good, music was good too, so I'd say watch it once and see for yourself. At least till ep 12 and if you can tolerate not breaking your laptop (which I somehow managed) watch the last 3 eps too just to see them on screen or if you're already used to this kind of k-drama or maybe if you like the added drama :p

And also watch it cuz Shin really was a great boyfriend, for that alone it's worth to see ;D
