CastKo’s Drama Recommendation: A Look Back at Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye ‘Heartstrings’
In 2009, Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye collaborated in ‘You’re Beautiful’. Even though they were not a couple in the drama, but the chemistry between them seemed to charm the audience. Two years later, they met again in MBC’s ‘Heartstrings’.
The misunderstanding between Lee Shin (Jung Yong Hwa), the leader of ‘The Stupid’, and Lee Kyu Won (Park Shin Hye), a college student majoring in Korean traditional music, created a tension between them. Lee Kyu Won didn’t understand why Lee Shin was so popular until one day she was forced to come to see ‘The Stupid’. She saw his performance and fell for him.
When Kyu Won decided to join the 100th celebration of her university, everyone saw her potential including Kim Suk Hyun (Song Chang Eui), a broadway composer who became a music director. Lee Shin also decided to join the musical because of his feelings toward the dance professor, Jung Yoon Soo (So Yi Hyun). Lee Shin and Kyu Won spent a lot of time together and they slowly realized their feelings toward each other.
Because of Park Shin Hye’s popularity outside the country, this drama is well-known not only in Korea but also in Philippine, Japan, China, and Hong Kong. Song Chang Eui, So E Hyun, and CNBLUE’s Kang Min Hyuk also appeared in this drama.
