Cantabile Tomorrow

     When it’s hard for you to imagine what the music world would look like then you definitely have to watch this new Korean drama entitled Cantabile Tomorrow. This drama is a romantic comedy and I just can’t fathom how I felt when I watched this one.   Having major roles in this drama series are Joo Won as Cha Yoo-jin who is the son of a famous pianist and Shim Eun-kyung as Seol Nae-il a simple girl whose major class is piano. The two of them will find their way to create a perfect harmony to create music that will make their hearts soar.

     Cha Yoo-jin (Joo Won) is a student majoring in piano, excels in the university in spite of his father being famous pianist. He is attractive, musically talented and he wanted to be a conductor but his trauma becomes a hindrance in traveling to Europe for him to learn and study conducting. One night he was drunk and when he woke up he found himself in a room full of trash and a very untidy place. Seeing his expression, he was a bit frustrated and surprised when he saw and heard Seol Nae-il (Shim Eun Kyung) playing piano. He then warns her not to say anything about what happened and tells her nothing happened.

     Meeting Seol Nae-il would be considered as an unlucky event in his life but it will eventually change. He found out that his new teacher is also her teacher. When the two were assigned to perform together, at first Cha Yoo-jin was against it but the teacher bribed him if he would do it then he would have a high grade. Obviously, he accepted it.  When Seol Nae-il heard him play the piano, she noticed that her heart started beating fast, so she ran immediately outside the room. This day has come and she knew right at that moment that cupid hit her with one of his arrows and she came to Yoo-jin directly confessing her love.

     With Seol Nae-il’s quirky and persistent personality she pushes herself right next to Cha Yoo-jin which I find hilarious because she has this unique way of making us laugh about her way on pursuing Yoo-jin. Their venture in the music world is tough and sometimes you can consider it as out of tune but believing in one’s ability is essential in reaching their dreams. This drama is filled with melody and tunes that express their emotions and passion towards music. Its essence is entirely about playing and creating music through one’s emotion and heart. And if you do really love music, even if challenges may come to you, you yourself must know that you shouldn’t let go of the thing you love doing the most.
