Ep 2 - October 13 [Thu]

[Knov1]

This thread is for discussion of episode 2 of Heartstrings. Please check the drama info & schedule thread for more info and rules on how to avoid spoilers and such.

---------------------------------------------------------

Shin and Gyu Won decide to have a competition to see whose music has more soul. The loser will be the slave of the winner for a month. The Stupid go first and their performance goes off without a hitch. Gyu Won's group goes next. During their performance, the string on Gyu Won's instrument breaks and they lose.

Professor Im wants Suk Hyun to use Hee Joo for the 100th anniversary event but he doesn't want to. He wants to hold an audition and has his eye on Gyu Won. Suk Hyun tells Yoon Soo not to do the choreography for the event. That she's not good enough. In reality, he just doesn't want to work with her due to their history.

Shin learns that professor Kim died. He apologizes to Gyu Won for not showing up to the concert and explains what happened with his sister.

Shin's father is dying and wants to see him. Shin's mother lies and tells Shin a friend of hers wants to give him a guitar lesson. Shin plays along but knows what she's up to.

---------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to like this drama. The stuff between Shin and Gyu Won is watchable. It's nothing new or great but it's worth a chuckle or two. The rest of the story I could do without. I don't know why this has gotten such positive reviews at DramaFever. The Cubs search for a new GM has been more interesting to keep track of than Heartstrings so far.

Um, this may be a radical suggestion--but is anyone watching? Does anyone have an opinion about dropping it and picking up a different one instead?

Tried to warn you guys this is a boring show.

Why does it have positive reviews? The same way Boys Before Flowers, Playful Kiss, Lie to me have good reviews despite the fact they can be described as 'hot messes.' Some people may like it as it reunites the 'You're Beautiful' alternate couple or because they have just started watching k-dramas or are K-pop fans.

This show had issues as they made the PD become the script writer and Park Shin Ye was in a car accident n had to miss a few days.

I think we should pick a new one.

[Knov1]

The problem isn't that the drama is boring. The problem is it's terrible. The makers of this drama should be banned from working on another drama ever again. The acting isn't great but I don't fault the cast too much. They don't have a lot to work with here. Plus, there's no one on the cast capable of making you overlook a horrible script with their performance.

I should have done my homework before adding this drama to the poll. I take full responsibility for that. I'm not opposed to dropping Heartstrings and moving on to something else. We can either do a new poll or just go with one of the other 2 dramas from the last poll.

Now, with that said, if anyone is watching this drama and wants to continue watching this drama, I'm willing to fulfill my commitment as its mod. It's, after all, what was voted for.

[TheBo]

So IF YOU WANT THIS FORUM TO CONTINUE please SAY SO NOW or FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!

Who's shouting? I'm not shouting.

LOL. Knov1, why don't you give a "drop dead date"? If you hear no objections before then, you can pick another. That seems like a fair process to me.

Personally, I'd vote for trying one of the others you originally picked, assuming you did your "due diligence." Har.

PLEASE.....PLEASE..... DROP THIS BORING DRAMA.

Why not show ALL IN in its place?

If we go with one of the dramas from the last poll, it's going to be Greatest Love. It would have been GL if I had needed to make an "executive decision".

If we have no objections to dropping Heartstrings by Tuesday, October 18, then we start with Greatest Love on Wednesday, October 26.

Elaine, you've brought up All In before. I'm curious, are you interested in watching it? Or have you seen it and want to recommend to everyone?

[Elaine]

My neighbor who is a black belt in TAK KWONDO has many
Korean friends. They are all raving about ALL IN.
I have never seen it, but I am very curious about it.

[Knov1]

When we switched to the new format, I wanted to have a slot reserved for older dramas. That way, we could watch some past dramas we might have missed out on. Unfortunately, we had to cut down to 2 dramas and had to forget about this idea. I can't make any promises but perhaps in the future we can add it to a poll or fit it in somewhere.
