This 3 hour series packs a lot into it. Firstly it's a laugh out loud funny satirical darkly comic look at piano students. Interesting characters too. The way it handles music is clever entertaining and doesn't dumb down. There are good moments of piano playing including Chopin Waltz, Rachmaninov prelude and Beethoven Liszt transcription of 9th Symphony. Ji Soo shows of a hilarious comic side here playing a likable ignorant but enthusiastic athlete turned pianist. Kim So Hyun acts well as the female lead - she is an experienced young actress. Nice contrast shown with the mothers of the kids. Shin Jae Ha plays a rather uptight pianist well and looks sad quite effectively. Nice cliamx with a twist that is realistic and fell good. The only thing is the ending is a little rushed. Would have liked a few more minutes on what happened to each character. One of the few times I wished a series had gone on longer.
