YesAsia Editorial Description

Korea's answer to Nodame Cantabile (though with decidedly less silliness), MBC's hit 2008 drama Beethoven Virus is set in the competitive world of classical music. Returning from his award-winning performance in The Great White Tower, Kim Myung Min stars as a stubborn conducting maestro whose life and music begin to change when he encounters a beautiful violinist played by Korean television's newest darling Lee Ji Ah (The Legend) and a trumpet prodigy played by go-to heartthrob Jang Geun Suk (Hong Gil Dong). Classical music is their passion, their dream, and their life, but neither romance nor crescendos come easy for those bitten with the Beethoven Virus.

Kang Gun Woo (Kim Myung Min) may be Korea's top conductor, but his status is eclipsed by his inability to get along with anybody. Despite his great talents, his notoriously difficult personality and refusal to compromise even an inch eventually put him out of work in his country. Years after leaving Korea, he is invited back by violinist Ru Mi (Lee Ji Ah) who is organizing a city orchestra on very limited resources. Formed by a ragtag group of amateurs and second-stringers, this budding orchestra has heart, but they're short on cash and talent. Both the conductor and the players are in for a shock when they meet, none the least reluctant trumpet player Kang Gun Woo (Jang Geun Suk), who holds a childhood grudge against the self-righteous conductor with the same name as him.

See all my reviews

This customer review refers to Beethoven Virus (DVD) (End) (English Subtitled) (MBC TV Drama) (US Version)
Must see drama...Wow on acting... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is for music lovers & Korean drama lovers... The main actor Kim Myung Min, what can you say about
him but how great of actor he is (every dramas & movies he has been in, he wins major awards!). One would think that he actually studied to be a conductor, the movements, the expressions and his acting is by far
amazing!

I think Jang Geun Suk & Lee Ji Ah along with all the cast did outstanding job in their roles. The older cello player, her name escapes me at the moment, she played a concert pianist, mom of Bae Yong Jun's role in Winter Sonata. I thought she actually played cello but she said she studied by watching mostly DVDs on cello players. Her movements & expressions as she played looked so real that it fooled me to think she actually palyed the instrament.

I watched this drama in 2 days since I couldn't stop watching.

The OST is very good...there are several for the drama...the special addition has Jang Geun Suk singing on the 1st cd, last track. He has very nice voice. Enjoy...Aloha
