You've Fallen For Me aka Festival aka Heartstrings, the romantic musical drama (also called a "youth melodrama") that airs this June, just got more interesting. It's about a girl (played by Park Shin Hye) whose from a prestigious family - majoring in traditional Korean instruments at a local music university. She goes to a concert and falls for a cold rocker (Jung Yong Hwa), whose only interested in music. As it turns out, the two go to the same school. Lee Kyu Won falls for Lee Shin at first sight, but he's already in love with one of the instructors at the university, a dance instructor called Jung Yoon Soo.
I've been a bit wishy-washy on this drama, because he basically played himself in You're Beautiful; and PSH can bring it with drama, but goes into the "overly cute/trying to hard" side of things when she does straight-comedy. That said, I think this drama just went up on my 'Want to Check Out' list because the secondary female lead has been casted - and its So Yi Hyun (Gloria, Swallow the Sun, Resurrection, etc) - whom I'm very fond of. I first saw her in Gloria, and really loved her there. So, I went back and checked out her earlier stuff. She's an actress that I think deserves more roles. Plus, Song Chang Ui (Life is Beautiful, Golden Bride, etc) will be the second male lead, a drama producer, whose found success on Broadway.
Jung Yong Hwa's character will have a crush on So Yi Hyun's professor. Park Shin Hye's character will have a crush on Jung Yong Hwa's character. I'm really hoping the writer lets SYH's character and SCU's character have a romance, whole the two kiddies have their romance. Because, I don't want to see two grown people (a 27 year old woman and a 32 year old man) in serious love triangles with their students.
So - loving the secondary leads because I know they are a great actor/actress. Little worried about the "youth melodrama" tag and a bit worried that PSH and JYH can lead a drama like this one.
