Character-first and patient, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Two best friends, So-yool and Yeon-hee, dream of becoming the top artists in Seoul together. But their friendship doesn't last long as Yoon-woo, So-yool's first love and songwriter, falls in love with Yeon-hee and her voice. So-yool's feeling of jealousy and inferiority towards Yeon-hee grows by the day, and she eventually makes a drastic decision to bring the two lovers down.
