I've had the currently-airing Korean drama "Heartstrings" on my mind for the past few days. (Its alternative title is "You've Fallen for Me".) It features singers/musicians like CN Blue's Jung Yong Hwa and Kang Min Hyuk as members of the school band "The Stupid", along with the actress Park Shin Hye as the female lead. The other members of "The Stupid" are ex-FT Island member Oh Won Bin (although I never knew him really) and FT Island member Song Seung Hyun's brother, Song Se Hyun (or so I've read).
But anyways, I love the music in this drama - the band reminds me of CN Blue, and reminds me of why I like CN Blue. I think I like them so much because it lacks all the "pop song"-ness that is in the songs sung by idol groups these days. I like instruments and music. ^^
It's interesting seeing Jung Yong Hwa as Lee Shin and Park Shin Hye as Lee Gyu Won. Lee Shin has this playful-jealous side that isn't like the cool-headed Kang Shin Woo of You're Beautiful. Lee Gyu Won however, still has that 'Park Shin Hye' vibe at times, but at other times, I forget that she is Park Shin Hye. It's just when she whines to her grandfather that I remember she's Park Shin Hye. Otherwise, I don't see or feel much of a resemblance to the character she played in You're Beautiful (the name has slipped my mind at the moment).
I am currently loving part 3 of the soundtrack, so much...music!
My favorite song is probably Jung Yong Hwa's "Because I Love You." (err...is that what it's called? It's the first song in part 3, I think? He sings it after his biological father dies....) It makes me want to cry when I listen to it. =(
A nice Heartstrings moment today - maybe I'll reflect back on a couple other dramas in a few days.
