Heartstrings

This was such a cute drama! Some parts were sad too. One of my favorites!(= <333
Jung Yong Hwa & Kang Min Hyuk are so adorable/cute!(=

I really liked this drama :) I dont know why it got bad reviews. I liked how the Lee Gyu Won wasn't the usual weak character. She was kind but not weak. I liked how she had her own talent and attributes and not just a girl who got a hot guy.As for Lee Shin he was surprisingly sweet and caring which I found refreshing after watching so many jerks in K-Dramas and J-Drama get the girl.I dont want to give too much away but this is a great drama.Alot of people are happy to see the leads are from "Youre Beautiful" get together. I wont lie , I love the chemistry between Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye. I couldn't even finish "You're Beautiful" where this I finished in a few days :) They are soo good together and believable! I loved this one. You will love all the secondary stories and side love stories <3 Give Heartstrings a chance, you wont regret it !

This drama seemed pretty cute to me. This drama isn't one of my favorites but I still thought it was good. In a couple parts I did get kind of bored but it still enjoyed the movie. I was sad in many parts and happy too. I would recommend this drama to anyone who like romance comedy. I was also really happy to see Jung Yong Hwa, who is in CN blue, and Park Shin Hye together again. They were both in You're Beautiful. You're Beautiful is one of my favs and everyone should watch it! It's awesome.

I followed this drama as it aired on DF. Since 'You're Beautiful' is one of my favorite dramas of all time, I became a fan of these actors (and for the record, I think the right guy got the girl) and started listening to CNBlue's music. So when I heard JYH was going to play the tough guy role with PSH, I had high expectations for a good show. It started off okay, but after about 4 episodes in, I found myself wondering when the meat of the story was going to rear it's ugly head. After 6 episodes I realized absolutely NOTHING more was going to happen. We learn who likes who and where everyone stands, but there is no conflict or complications to hold your interest. The story literally becomes a day by day account of school kids going to school and interacting with each other.
I'm very much into JYH, but he can't play a bad boy to save his life. He's naturally a good guy so pretending to be a jerk is quite challenging for him (which can be seen the blooper reels). I think PSH did well for what she had to work with. Her singing is the best part of the whole series. The supporting characters, despite their potential, are throw aways. Lots of time it just feels like they're there for the leads to have someone to talk to. It's not their fault given the weak plot.
The producers knew the story was lacking and had to switch writers AND directors while the show was airing in order to save ratings. After several rewrites the story started to pick up a bit by (finally) adding outside conflicts. But this doesn't come until after the half the story is over with and it's much too late by then. This is why they decided to end the show with 15 episodes instead of the usual 16.
Lots of people rate this show high because they're excited 'Shinwoo finally got with Mineyo,' but take that away and you have a slow highschool drama with a paper thin plot. If it weren't for my admiration for the two leads, I'd have dropped this drama half way in. If you're part of the Shinwoo Fan Club, you'll like this drama. But if you're actually looking for something good to watch, this isn't the show.
