Hooked on Beethoven Virus!!

Woo hoo~~ finished the drama last weekend... shiok man!!! Totally in love with it!! Very impressed with the orchestra maestro, Kang Gun Woo, played by Kim Myung Min (김명민)... i would say he portraited the character really well...


Short synopsis i've gotten off the web :) ...

“Beethoven Virus” is about a misfit orchestra of random people brought together by their love for classical music. Kim Myung Min plays Kang Gun Woo, an orchestra conductor in his 40’s. His character is an elite conductor with a very bad reputation, and who will do absolutely anything in order to create the very best music. An arrogant man with no patience for anyone less than perfect, he is unable to form good relationships with those around him. Also, he is an elite conductor who insists that classical music is made for nobility only. He meets Du Ru Mi, a violinist, and a trumpet player who has the same name as him, and together they form a love triangle.
This maestro Kang really has a... what people may think as "foul mouth" or "unapproachable personality"... but though he's EXTREMELY blunt, he has a very "sentimental" side of him that first appeared when his poor dog swallowed sleeping pills. His violinist Du Ru Mi was the first to notice this... and like she told the rest of the orchestra members... although Maestro Kang is vocal and harsh with his words but he doesn't backstab his players. He seeks perfection in his music and demands the same from his players. Under his tough side, he is actually a lonely man with only a companion, his dog Thoven. Together he and his orchestra members overcome many obstacles, and he finally opened his heart to care for his players and love Ru Mi. But when he realised the change in his music, he couldn't overcome it and hence decided to part with Ru Mi.... oh sooo sad... :( but this doesn't seem mark the end of their relationship... at the final episode, it just seems that the relationship is put "on hold" till he can overcome the "barrier"... wah sei... sounds very zen hor~~

Guess the reason I like this character is because I'm a rather blunt person myself.. wahahaha!!! But hor... i also dun backstab people de... so dun worry... in case u've been hurt by my bluntness... let me apologise to you here... dun take it to heart ya... i'm just being me... :P

Btw, the soundtrack is fantastic too~~ personal view lar... makes me wanna pick up music some day... :) then i remember!!! I was part of the Instrumental group when i was in Primary School!!! Damn it... sooo long ago!! Wahaha... old liao~~~

Overall, Ms Muffin (that's me) will give this drama 5 muffins... wahahaha... just like those ppl give popcorns to rate movies... me give muffins... :)

Beethoven Virus (Korean: 베토벤 바이러스)

Halfway thru watching "Beethoven Virus'' now... the drama depicts the lives of classical musicians and orchestra... and ordinary people who have dreamed of becoming musicians since they were young, but didn't have the chance for various reasons... It's a "heartwarming story about people who strive to make their musical dreams come true'', as mentioned by one of the actors in an interview. People from different walks of life doing their best to realise their dream of playing in an orchestra... somewhat motivating...
Of course there's always a romance part... the love triangle between a woman and two men (coincidentally with the same name)... and and and... the pair in love didn't stay together... Sob sob... not "physically" together at least... but they do understand their love for each other... how i knew? I peeped into the last episode... haha!! can't wait to know~~~
The soundtrack is very nice too~~ i would recommend it!! Go watch the drama... think it's worth the time... :)
