I had very high hopes for this mini drama because of the plot & the cast. I was not disappointed at all. I wish it was longer, but at the same time, I was satisfied with the ending. I came in to this drama to watch Kim So Hyun & Ji Soo.
Story: 9/10 because the story was inspirational, hopeful & fun despite the heavy topics mentioned in the drama. They balance the happy moments with the heavy moments. I'm glad that there was a hint of romance in this drama, but was not the main plot line. You rarely get romance dramas that don't get a main plot line anymore. The drama was very realistic about pressure & life. The ending will surprise you.
Acting: 10/10 because the acting was amazing. Despite being 3 episode drama, I was very invested with the characters including the moms! I love the chemistry between Cha Shik & his mother. It's rare in drama land where the mother-son combo are very close in a relationship. I also like the dynamic between Yoo Seul & her mother despite not being close because her being a prodigy. I also like that Kim So Hyun has chemistry with not only Ji Soo & Ye Ji Won, but with her second lead co-star Shin Jae Ha as well. The character Yoo Seul is interesting. Despite being introverted, she can be sassy & fun if she lets anyone into her life. There was some good development despite being 3 episodes long and that's rare to pull off.
Music: 9/10 because the classical music choices were very enjoyable to listen to. The fact that I was a violin player and played some piano since elementary school made me relate to the 3 main characters even more.
Re-watch value: 9/10 because despite the heavy topics mentioned in the drama, it was heart-felt & easy to watch.
Overall, it's heavy melodrama with a hopeful message to everyone that you can find your passion and re-kindle your passion no matter the circumstances that life throws at you.
