This is the second J-Drama that I've seen centring on classical musicians that I found to be just adorable!

What I loved:
- the complicated plot that unravels slowly with lots of surprises
- the acting by all the ensemble cast
- the soundtrack- the modern adaptations of classical music - wish they had it on Spotify
- the developing friendships between the characters
- building on the themes of trust and loyalty

What was iffy:
- almost no chemistry between the characters who were romantically attracted to one another
- would have been better if it were 11-12 episodes long
- needed more development to the character development of Suzume, Iemori and Beppu.
- as is, it leaves the impression that this was not a story about an ensemble of characters, but one that centred on Maki as the solo lead character instead.
