Date of airing : 3rd September
PD: Lee Jae Gyu
Scriptwriters : Hong Jin Ah, Hong Ja Ram

Cast

* Kim Myung Min
* Lee Ji Ah
* Jang Geun Suk

* Lee Soon Jae
* Song Ok Sook
* Park Chul Min
* Jung Suk Yong
* Kwon Oh Joong
* Ahn Sung Ki

Kim Myung Min will be playing Kang Ma E 강마에, an orchestra conductor in his 40's. His character is an elite conductor with a very bad reputation, and who will do absolutely anything in order to create the very best music. But due to his self-righteous and stubborn personality that makes him think only his thoughts are correct, he is unable to form good relationships with those around him. Also, he is an elite conductor who insists that classical music is made for nobility only.

Ma E is a 'workaholic' and has a very troublesome personality, and thus seems similar to the character of Jang Joon Hyuk in the drama "White Tower". Kim Myung Min has gotten the opportunity to harden his acting skills by playing another unique character. "Beethoven Virus" draws the story of people who've been abandoned by music, and have abandoned music themselves, and who create an orchestra and encounter many difficulties. This story will concentrate on classical music, and thus brings to mind the popular Japanese manga "Nodame Cantabile".

The script is by the Hong Jin Ah-Hong Ja Ram sisters, who wrote "Taereung National Village" and "Over the Rainbow", and the PD is Lee Jae Gyu, who directed "Damo" and "Fashion 70s".

Lee Ji Ah will playing the role of 27 years old "Du Ru Mi", a frank and lively talented girl who plays the violin by the ear. She may seem womanly and elegant on the surface but she is tomboyish girl who even dares to share adult videos with her male friends.

Jang Geun Suk will be playing "Kang Gun Woo" a person who is gifted musically with the perfect pitch and will form a love triangle with Ma E and Du Ru Mi.

The Nodame Cantabile comparison is worth mentioning, because the press has tried to emphasize that this show will very much be its own creation. Less Nodame slapsticky wackiness.

I'm most excited due to this being a Lee Jae Gyu project. It wasn't just that Damo effectively created the fusion sageuk genre, it's that the MTV/American-style idioms he used in the show have been adapted by high budget productions since. And I still feel Fashion 70s , I think the first SBS show to use the widescreen format, is still one of the most effortlessly (rather than cheesy) filmic productions (especially all of the wartime bits) SBS has ever showed.

Nodame comparison?? I doubt that. But we'll see. Nodame's a comedy with lots of characters...but from the pics above, this is just a love triangle, involving classical music. But I'm excited to see cuz it has that cute guy from Hwang Jin Yi and Hong Gil Dong! Big Smile

Unless they're comparing it cuz Noda is an otaku who reads ass-fortune telling magazines where as the main girl here actually shares adult vidz with her friends??? That's way different.

The Nodame comparison comes from the fact that it's the orchestra of losers and rejects. But, if anyone really expects it to be anything like Nodame they will probably be horribly disappointed. I expect some quirkiness and interesting characters... but much more serious than Nodame ever was.


More shots.
