I honestly only got to episode six before dropping (so excuse me if I say something that gets resolved later; I know I'm supposed to review after I finish the show, but I don't think I can do it). The cast is good, but not great. This is the first drama I've seen Rain in, and while he's got a pretty face, I'm not seeing it, I hate to say that it's left a negative impression about his skills as an actor. Krystal played a two dimensional character that had so much potential if [Krystal] played her cards right. And she didn't. I wasn't dragged into the story, I didn't understand exactly what was going on, and to me, what's-his-face loved his dog more than her.
I'm giving higher scores in the hope that it improved somewhat after I stopped watching, but I'll leave it up to you. I can see how some people like it, but it isn't my style.

At 14th episode they patch up ,and then I saw there are two more episodes to go ,so I thought might be everyone ended with couple even Shi Woo as well as they shows that they (lead couple) get married but last two episodes brought lots of disappointment ,it would be better if they had upto 14th episode.I decided to watch this drama by seeing some clips on YouTube but in those clips they showed pairing between a singer and songwriter and their sad story but when I started watching this drama their story is different ,it was story of two lovers who separated from their love in this one lover's story is just one sided love but then both of them fall for a same girl ,so again one is ended with one sided love. So this drama shown the story of singers , songwriters how they go through everyday problem , sometimes they regret to be a celebrities ,sometime they get frustrated,sometime they faced heart broken ,sometime they faced jealousy among themselves. Beside this they also shown the love life .One thing I don't understand that at the last episode when she come back why don't he angry with her ,why he don't asked the reason that why she left ,but he got little bit angry and then try some methods to pursue her ..as a whole I don't like the ending though it was a happy ending.

I'll give it a 2/10. Other than the characters, there's no more reason to watch this, for real. The plot is not interesting and really boring at all.

Let me start by saying Rain and L are the standout actors in this drama. In fact all of the actors do a decent job...especially some of the side characters. The fault seems to be in the writing. The concept is interesting. A man who falls in love with the sister of his deceased love. And really, up to about episode 15 I went along with it. But in Episode 15 and continuing into 16, I just wanted to smack the female lead. Her decisions literally made no logical sense at all and she never really explains herself...but in the end all is forgiven? So strange. Just so strange. The music is fine, but since the show is about music I really hoped there would be at least one really amazing song, but there isn't. Though the song written for "all the mothers" is very good.
I don't think I would rewatch this just because the end is so frustrating. And when it finally comes together, it immediately ends leaving you thinking, "What?" I mean there is a happy ending, but the female lead's actions are just so strange that it makes the ending feel off.
The drama is worth watching at least up to Episode 15, but 15 and 16 are just rough to watch.

The only thing that caught my attention first was the cast. Mostly idols-turned-actors filled the cast list when this was announced. I gave it a try, and I absolutely regret it.
I gave the plot a four. A very generous score, but I really liked where the drama was supposed to go from the start. I liked the plot of overcoming a loss and helplessly falling in love after the trauma. What goes wrong with the performance? Pretty much everything. From the age gap to the lack of chemistry, this drama was really a failure from the first episode. The "thing" with the two main couples constantly comes and goes, and comes and goes, and comes and goes, and at a certain point, you ask yourself why are you wasting your time watching the same thing. To be honest, I don't even remember how the drama ends, the only thing I can remember is Se Na being forced into a terribly violent situation that constantly made her choose one man. Let's also keep in mind the fact that this drama doesn't go deeper into the idol world when there could've been some very interesting side plots about it; when it comes to music and the idol world the drama tends to focus on Shi Woo only which really disappointed me, what a waste of potential.
The characters seem pretty flat and don't really change until the last episodes, Shi Woo is most likely the only exception I'd say. I personally think they didn't "exploited" Shin Hae Yoon as a character as well as her plots when she was one of the good things about this drama. At the same time, there was no chemistry. No matter how hard you try to find it, you will never find it, neither between Rain and Krystal, or between Myungsoo and Krystal.
Is the cast what made this drama that bad? I'd say that maybe it is. I don't know if the story was originally about a grown (grown) man constantly chasing a girl in her 20s or if the girl was supposed to be a different actress. I heard about the rumors of SM giving this role to Krystal to make up how they shattered her being in the second season of Jessica & Krystal as well as the release and promotions of the unit mini album with her sister, which were Krystal's original plans for the last quarter of 2014 before they kicked Jessica out of SNSD. Whatever the case is, I liked Krystal even though the character was boring and Krystal's acting skills were not at her prime in this project. The chemistry with the other characters was utterly bad, very awkward to see, and the only fault here was the cast. Whether the problem is the girl or one of the boys, this triangle just didn't work leading the drama to a complete failure.
The OST was great, though. This drama is about music producers and idols so thank God I can say one positive thing about this drama. I really liked (and still like) the two versions of "Pray" just like N-Sonic's "I Miss You" and Krystal's "All of Sudden". However, I wish there was a connection between the great songs and the drama. I know there was an attempt but I would've liked it if they tried to kind of "force it".
To sum up, a very awkward drama with terrible chemistry and forced situations for the main character that will never leave her alone. To be with a man whose age gap is huge and is also your boss, or to be with a rude boy that harrassed you from the moment you met him (and never changed)? I didn't like how you can predict each character's moves and how frustrating is it when everything that goes on was very violent to me, I almost (miss)understood Se Na's psychology, but she's constantly being played with mind games situations and forced to choose between one thing or another. Extremely boring, My Lovely Girls gets a 4 out of 10, being the OST the strongest point of this drama.

I only like this one because of the actors/actresses
Previously I had rated this higher but after thinking about it I lowered it. It's not that it's a bad drama I just find it weird and slow. It's just strange to me that he falls in love with his true love's younger sister. The acting is good, and it's filmed well. The storyline is slow and it's kind of boring, and again like I mentioned weird.Also, you know it's never clearly stated if he actually loves her for her, or if he loves her because she's the younger sister of the woman he truly loved. And I just can't get past that. Like it's assumed he fell in love with her. But she does have a lot of similarities to her sister and the whole reason he approached her, to begin with, was because she was her sister. So.....???

I liked the music, I will probably download all of them just to listen.
Acthing was well done, but the story was not OK for me
If you will see this please have an open mind and enjoy, take your time so you understand the story line.
I liked the cast, was good. You get every emotion you are looking for when you see the actors you won't get disappointed, they made the story feel real and full of life. I enjoyed it.
Am giving this an 8 because I feel it had a slow down in same pasts but its good, maybe the writter wanted it that why so I don't know.

Music and love
A famous composer loses his girlfriend in an accident. Full of guilty, he deprives himself of music and he convinces himself that he cannot no more deserve a little happiness.When he happens to find the needful girlfriend's sister he decided to help her.
In her he sees his beloved again and falls in love with her and her with him.
But the secret of the bond with the deceased sister will be soon discovered and their relationship will be damaged.
A sad atmosphere lingers throughout the series and even more so in the last two episodes.
The touching dog's story is an example.
The end was a bit forced (1 year later... she go away, she come back, she will leave again... and both loves each other?!?)
In this series there are some beautiful scenes and touching moments, a good soundtrack and appreciable acting. I loved the dog, I'm a fan of Kristal (the Heirs, the Players,...) and I discovered Rain the actor.

Pouco Adorável
Esse drama é um decepção total, é chato, desinteressante e arrastado. Assitir a isso me deixou desgastada foi tão massante e desagradável ,neste show tinha tudo que mais detesto em dramas, situações irreais, cliches, personagens que parecem que foram escritos de maneira preguiçosa , na realidade acho que o drama todo foi feito de maneira preguiçosa e desleixada. Eu não me via terminando isso para ajudar do meio para o final fui adiantando a maioria das cenas.Tem muitos pontos negativos nesse drama como personagens enfadonhos, história sem nexo ,porém nada me deixou mais desapontado do que a protagonista feminina, DEUS eu revirava os olhos toda vez que ela entrava em cena, eu não vi emoção nenhuma no rosto dela , ela parecia uma parede,ela mantinha a mesma expressão a todo momento, até a forma de falar dela me irritava, cruzes a mulher parecia ter acabado de sair de um velório até quando estava feliz, eu sentia sono e desespero em assisti-la,em momento algum não encontrei nada de adorável nela, foi um personagem que não acrescentou em nada ao drama, realmente foi dificíl para mim, eu me pergunto porque não larguei isso .
O protagonista masculino, foi razoável, nada memomorável , o romance entres os protagonistas era péssimo , não tinham quimica nenhuma, nunca vi casal tão sem graça. Nada nesse drama teve salvação nem mesmo o final gente que horrivel o pior que já assistir.
Em fim definitivamente eu tenho certeza que você merece assistir algo melhor, caso não tenha nada para assistir apenas vá ler um livro ou rever um bom drama já assistido.

Sim, tinha triângulo amoroso, mas era impossível shippar ela com o personagem secundário porque ele também era um idiota completo.Eu até entendo que o protagonista tinha seus traumas do passado e por isso tinha justificativa para o desenvolvimento lento do romance, mas em certo ponto da história isso foi ficando cada vez mais chato e quando senti que já não aguentava mais assistir aquilo, fiz questão de avançar vários episódios só para ver como ia terminar. E olha não me arrependo disso, porque o final foi tão sem graça quanto o próprio drama.
Comecei a perceber que não tenho muita sorte com o ator: Rain, já que esse foi o 3º drama que vi com ele que não deu muito certo. Conclusão: típico drama que não faz diferença nenhuma assistir, serviu pra crescer minha lista de assistidos e nada mais que isso.
