EUN JI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea, she was/is awesome.
This drama started off well, and for the most part I enjoyed it. Not being familiar with the Trot genre, took me a song or two to get used to it but I appreciate it now. In terms of the story, either than a trot singer infiltrating the pop-saturated music scene, there really wasn't anything unique. The first half was good, setting up the story and getting things rolling, but halfway through it started to get bland and generic, story-wise. Several common drama plot twists were used and slightly lowered my motivation to keep watching. The ending was ok - not exciting, and not bad either.
The two strongest points of the drama though were the acting and the music. The cast were all great and fit each of their roles well. The two main characters shared such a genuine and emotional bond that really added to the overall mood of the drama. Their scenes were always warm and felt real. Although all of the characters were portrayed very well, there really weren't any unique characters either, save a few. Shin Sung Rok (Mr. President) really was a breathe of fresh air. His slightly awkward demeanor melded so well with his playfulness and quirky lines. Each of his scenes were great to watch. As for Eun Ji (Choi Chun Hee), from the first line I wrote, it's easy to know what I thought about her. Her character was pretty typical, but at times she proved to be quite different from other main characters. Eun Ji herself though. Wonderful. Excellent. Super. That's all you need to know.
As for the music, I appreciate this drama for bringing to the spotlight a great genre of music. The OST was great, not really much for me to say there. But the performances, especially Eun Ji's, were always well done. She has such a beautiful and rich voice backed by great control and feeling. Each and every time she sang her emotions could be felt through the computer screen. Not just her though, every cast member who sang did a great job.
Overall, if you enjoy great quality singing, if you cannot resist funny quirky characters, if you enjoy super intimately cute moments, or if you are a fan of Eun Ji, I suggest you watch this. If you're looking for a ground-breakingly unique and original drama, this is not what you're looking for.
