Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol

In general it was good, the music, the actors, Ra ra was so sweet and beautiful. But the final was so so, without sense.

I've decided to split this review into two parts. Part 1 about episodes 1 - 15. Part 2 about episode 16.

Part 1 Excellent 9.5 out of 10. A real rollercoaster of a ride. Every single actor/actress played their parts to perfection, from the 6 year old boy all the way through to the 80 year old gent. If you like a good tearjerker story with funny elements, sprinkled with lots and lots of happiness this is the drama for you. The lead actress (Go Ara) who plays Goo Ra Ra is such a delight to watch, she plays the part like it was her last ever job. The lead actor (Jae-Wook Lee) who plays Sunwoo Joon (Jun) only has the one expression but its an absolute winner. The supporting cast do their upmost to stay as good as the lead two and do an admirable job.

The story is of an heiress to a very large cosmetics company but unfortunately it hits very bad times and closes its doors. At the same time her father passes away. So her fathers secretary informs her to go into hiding so the creditors don't take everything from her. Unfortunately a flat purchase goes horribly wrong and she ends up penniless.

She goes away to Eunpo and meets by accident (literally) a depressed young man who goes out of his way to help her in every situation. Over the course of the drama they fall in love.

It might sound like every other romantic drama but this is a must watch, you will fall in love with everyone.

Part 2 Terrible 1 out of 10. The 1st 45 minutes would deserve a 7 out of 10 because the actors did a stellar job. But the last 15 minutes drags that 7 out of 10 kicking and screaming down to a 1. It is the worst ending any drama has ever had. This makes the Dallas shower scene actually believable, it's that bad. DO NOT WATCH IT.

Chemistry between the main leads made the drama more interesting

This show was definitely a mixed bag. I feel like the writers sort of wanted to "stick it" to the viewers by making this show "unpredictable," which it certainly was, but not necessarily in a good way. Some of the choices of the characters and the story line definitely felt a little disjointed, and I think it was because of this reason. The first 10 episodes of this show were fantastic, with a really great cast of likeable characters, a lovely soundtrack, great acting by actors who could actually play the instruments, and an engaging story. I think Jun's "secret" sort of felt hyped up but ended up being not too terrible, and then there was a definite lull in the show before picking up for the last two episodes. I feel like the writers should have stuck with the original ending and had the guts to leave things the way the viewer thought they were going without throwing a last minute change in at the end.

That being said, I do think it's worth a watch. The piano playing scenes are gorgeous and full of poignant meaning, and most of the story is well done. Were there some things I disliked? Yes, but the show is still good enough and deserves a watch. I give it a 7.5 because the good definitely outweighs the bad!

This was the 2nd K-drama series that I watched and I absolutely loved it right up to 1/2 way through the last episode. I don't understand the ending. It felt like an exec lost a bet and and had to go with the worst ending option on the table. Nevertheless, the cast had fantastic acting skills, especially Jae-Wook Lee and Go Ara. I was hysterically crying and then having those happy memorable moments constantly as the story developed. Such a great intricate storyline that kept you engaged with trying to put all the pieces together. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, they would throw you a curveball and you had to start over from scratch. Great series overall and I would highly recommend it. I just wish they would redo the ending in order to maintain the integrity of the characters' depth and actors' talents. To be honest, it felt like the actors couldn't believe the ending themselves.
