You've Fallen For Me (Heartstrings)

Originally when I first heard about this drama the thought that came to mind was "Someone really wanted to make a drama where Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye get together." And that's still one of my main thoughts about the pairing/drama.

Lee Shin is a university student majoring in modern music. He is also the vocalist and guitarist of the band "The Stupid." Shin is known for his good looks and strong passion for music, but in reality he is cold, lacks interest in anything unrelated to music and has neither dreams nor plans for the future. He initially likes Jung Yoon Soo, a dance professor at university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won.

Lee Kyu Won is a bright and outgoing student who was born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Kyu 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, Kyu 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 - DramaWiki

The overall presentation of this drama runs rather smoothly, though like any other Korean drama there's a bit of drag in the beginning. I was impressed by the singing performances in this drama, but not a fan of the background music which accompanied many of the scenes, except for maybe two or three. Music wise, combining the use of traditional instruments and modern instruments was probably one of my favorite things about this drama. It was an amazing sight that I don't usually see nor hear (^-^)  I did admire the acting of the main actors.Park Shin Hye has never come across as a actress whose acting annoys the hell out of me and Jung Yong Hwa's simple gestures and expressions sum up his character's behavior. The chemistry between them was amazing and I enjoyed it. The communication between all the other characters was great as well. Kang Min Hyuk and the grandfather were my favorite when watching them interact with other characters throughout the drama.
However what I didn't like about this drama was the ending. I was reminded of the rushed and unexplained ending of City Hunter. It was sloppy work that could've been better and should've been. And personally...I wish that Park Shin Hye stuck with being a traditional instruments player rather than getting a record deal (this is coming from a person who used to play the Chinese harp and really appreciates traditional Asian instruments) Otherwise that's most of my complaints about this drama.  It was an overall cute drama, but not something memorable or worth watching a second time.
