Do you like Brahms ?
The answer to the question is yes I love Brahms and I only continued watching the series because of the music .
I am hardly ever critical of K Drama series but this one irritated me . In spite of the lovely story and important issues raised , I could not engage with the main characters all as stiff as poles , especially the character of Park Eun-bin . Whether she was directed to play like this the gauche , introvert , shy musician , she was so slow , so unexpressive , so lifeless , I found myself shouting at her , " answer , move , say something ... " and wanted to shake her by the shoulders to bring some life into her . She seemed to go through the series half comatose . Too many long pauses , too many languid looks , too many stiff standing pauses , very slow pace . Those do not help to make a good drama. I welcomed the positive ending of the romance but on many occasions I thought Kim min Jae as the talented pianist deserved better, as it must have been difficult to play opposite such a lifeless character. I did not feel these two had a lot of chemistry between them . I did not feel any passion , nor intensity of feeling . I am sad to say this .
