I agree with you 100% Mandy...what makes them a good critic, and how do they 'grade' the series? and why even attack what ParkShinHye has said about doing her best and leaving it up to the audience? No one can force the viewers to watch what they want to watch...
and as for me, i've had my share of KDramas and Jdramas and TDramas and I was blown away with HS music, it was such an uplifting series, we sometimes don't need words for Shin and KW to say what they need to say...their look and glances and singing is enough for me to know what their true emotions are...
it made me go back to the good old days...the late night outs, the pangs of seeing your love with another girl, the close friendship we nurtured, the achievement of your dreams...the trouble we had when we don't see eye to eye with our parents..the rhetorical questions from our siblings...the doubting of one's self..the questions we had...the roadblocks in our paths...the uncertainty of where we're headed...the pain of separation from the close bondage you had with friends...there were so many things going on during college days that somehow makes you want to say...those were ONE of the few HAPPY Times of your life and what a wonderful feeling it is to reminisce!
I don't really care what other critics are saying as long as the series gave me joy and happiness it a sure fire winner for me!!!
I love HeARTSTRINGS!!!! thank you for giving us such happiness!!!
now who remembers their First ever Kiss...did you have that tingling feeling deep in your tummy? were you so nervous that you almost couldn't breath? Was it what you thought it would be like? I know Shin Hye has had her shares of kisses, but she's a girl, do you think she feels something still when a 'close friend' is going to do this to you? and what about YongHwa? how many girls have he kissed I wonder...but isn't this his first 'ontheair' kiss? i'm sure he felt as giddy as if it was his First kiss! don't you agree?
FOR ADULTS ONLY: (i'm bringing this up since Marrs brought it up:
