I came to Tomorrow's Cantabile for two reasons - my love of classical music and Joo Won. While there was some light to moderate drama throughout the show, I would say that TC's plot is heavily based in comedy. It felt almost like anime humor - ridiculous, over-the-top, etc. I honestly didn't think that it would be that similar, because kdramas can and have changed things around for manga/anime adaptions. What I loved most was the setting and music plot lines. The twists weren't overly unexpected, but I really enjoyed being in that element and watching the musicians perform and grow. If you're a big fan of music, especially classical music, I would definitely suggest giving TC a try. It's not overly true to life (it's a drama after all), but being so immersed in the culture is very satisfying. The soundtrack was really incredible. They brought in many familiar classical pieces, but they would often do variations on them to fit the mood or plot line. Plus, one of my biggest pet peeves is when an actor makes no effort to look like they're actually playing an instrument. I can tell that TC's actors/film crew worked hard to make it look legit. It definitely requires more effort, but the results were worth it. I unfortunately had mixed feelings about the cast. I loved the stuffy and rigid Yoo Jin, who desperately seeks a career in conducting. He was a bit stiff sometimes, but I thought it worked with his character. The other cast members on the whole were a tough sell. To counterbalance Yoo Jin and some of the antagonists, most of the other students spent a lot of the time in bits of over-the-top humor and antics. Nae Il especially. It was only in the last few episodes of the drama that I truly began to like them, and I think it was because the climax of the show eliminated a lot of the ridiculous humor. Although it's categorized as romance on MDL, I don't recommend watching TC for that. It's there, but it's not the ultimate focus and drive of the drama. There isn't anything overly creative or inspiring about it, and I didn't find myself skipping other parts urgently to get to it. Some moments were cute, but watching 20 episodes for that plot line is not a great idea. Honestly, it often made Nae Il hard to swallow because of how crazy she would get over Yoo Jin. That's just not my thing when it comes to a female lead. Overall, I was pleased, and it might be something I'll watch again if I'm in a mood for music. I loved the setting and being so involved with the music. It hit very close to home. The actors did a great job in highlighting the positives and negatives of what it means to be a musician and the motivations behind your craft. But, if you are considering watching it, make sure you are looking for a relatively light drama with heavy doses of humor and very basic romances.
