Heartstrings/You've fallen for me

Still feeling the pain for Shin Woo (hyeong) unrequited love for Gyu Minam?
You need to watch this new MBC drama, Heartstrings starring Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye!!!

Title: Heartstrings/ You've fallen for me
Casts: Jung Yong Hwa as Lee Shin and Park Shin Hye as Lee Gyu Won
Synopsis: (adapted from various scource)
Jung Yong Hwa plays a university student, Lee Shin, majoring in modern music who is also the vocalist and guitarist of the school's famous band "The Stupid". Shin is know for his good looks and strong passion for music but in reality he is cold and lacks interest in everything unrelated to music. In the initial part of the drama, he likes Jung Yoon Soo, a dance professor in his university but things starts to change after he meets Lee Gyu Won.

Park Shin Hye plays a bright and outgoing student, Gyu Won, who is born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Gyu Won’s grandfather, Lee Dong Gun, is one of the top 3 traditional musicians of his age and his biggest wish is to see his granddaughter become a traditional music prodigy.

Trying to live up to her grandfather’s expectations, Gyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing outside of her studies. As her friends are fans of “The Stupid”, she was forced to go to the band’s concert with them. There she saw Lee Shin performing live, and is immediately captivated by him.

Park Shin Hye is so cute, my current favourite Korean Actress and i love her hair in this drama!

(Spoilers ahead! Read at your own risk!)

I'm currently at ep. 4 and Gyu Won is starting to fall for Lee Shin. *woohoo* though she's still in the self-denial stage.

Things start to change for Lee Shin as well. Smiles can be seen more frequently on Lee Shin's face after he met Gyu Won and she ended up being his slave. (She lost a bet). As much as he enjoys "torturing" her, Lee Shin is still pretty much in love with a older woman, a dance professor and he kissed her at the end of ep. 4 and Gyu Won happened to hitch a ride from the director (director & dance professor used to be lovers) and she witnessed the kiss!

Lee Shin found out about the director and the dance professor's past and now he wants to be part of the performance which he initially rejects in order to protect the woman he loves (the dance professor, who is the dance instructor of the performance) from the director. The director seems to have a liking for Gyu Won, because of her talent? Or is it because of her personality?

A typical light hearted, romance drama with a typical and predictable plot and story line but isn't this what we love? (Ok, it's what I LOVE).

A cute and bubbly female lead, who ends up being the slave (not by choice) of the male lead whom she dislike initially. Soon she finds herself falling in love with him after she sees his gentleness beneath his cool and mean front. A cool yet popular male lead, who has his heart set for some very beautiful and sophisticated looking woman who is fragile and needs a man to protect her. He enjoys torturing the female lead and soon notices the change in himself.

Now i can't wait for Lee Shin to abandon the professor and fall in love with Gyu Won and i hope the director can spice it up by being biased towards Gyu Won! Only 2 eps. a week. What a torture!

According to Hancinema, the ratings is poor which i don't understand why. Though it's a typical plot but isn't it norm for K-drama which a typical plot? Park Shin Hye is cute and Jung Yong Hwa is cool! Hope the ratings can pick up soon.

Enjoy the teasers!

and now i just saw the part where it said this drama got poor ratings.
my reaction: WHAAAT?! HOW??!

i guess it's from back when yonghwa did You're Beautiful. he got a lot of criticism for his dry acting, which i didn't notice until now... and it hasn't changed (still love CNBLUE though!)

but i really enjoy watching it, so i don't understand how it can do so poorly.

@Van: Yup! I watch K-drama too! I'm actually a couch potato + otaku! hahah I was a tae kyung-go miman fan. hahah. I find Jung Yong Hwa's acting similar to Kim Hyung Joon's. Not so rich in terms of facial expressions. lol.

I really can't wait for Lee Shin to fall in love with Gyu Won!!!!

Yeah his acting seems really dry, but I never noticed until I read all the comments about it. I guess I never noticed because his character in YAB was pretty quiet, but now that he has the main male lead it's blindingly obvious. It's kind of like Kim Hyung Joon in Playful Kiss: blank expression and the occasional smirk haha.

I like K-dramas, too, but living in the US, it's kinda hard to find them on TV. I did get my hands on the dvds of My Lovely Sam-Soon, and that got me hooked for sure!

I'm also excited because today is the 13th, so I guess Heroine Shinkakku is coming out soon!
