A Sweet Story with a Sour Ending
29 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Overall I really enjoyed this Kdrama. I'm a sucker for heartfelt moments and this one had plenty. I have to admit the plot and timing were a little off even in the first few episodes but the fact that this series was about music, and better yet Piano! I was drawn in.

The acting was on point. All the actors were amazing and really brought their characters to life. I fell in love with all of them and they made me want to watch more. Truthfully, if the acting wasn't so good I would've given a lower rating.

Rara and Jun's relationship is so cute and romantic and innocent. I was happy to see how things were revealed with Jun being Mr Twinkle all along :)

But. And a big BUT. I agree with others that the last 3-4 episodes didn't really make sense. I was completely heartbroken at the storyline. All of a sudden Jun gets really ill, but does it have to be this big secret? And the last episode. Wow. I cried so much I couldn't breathe and then Jun returns after 5 years?! Of course I'm glad he's still alive (happy ending after all!) but the way this was given to us was so cruel. After all that pain and heartache and tears. I understand it kinda follows the 5 year waiting that Mr Kim had with his wife. But this was just too confusing and abrupt. And I think the drama would've been so much better had Jun told Rara about his illness at the cafe when she finally learns who he is. So yes, it's a sour ending for me because I was left feeling totally numb and this bitter aftertaste is sadly lingering.

I was going to recommend this drama to more people but not sure if I will now... I regret telling my sis to watch it (she's yet to finish it and see the ending!)
