Oppa was always more on the tall and lean (skinny?) side. Not really known for being muscly. Now though... Okay for this occasion since I just joined the club: Another angle:

Me too. But this doesn't mean I liked how it happened. Yeah another part that I went 'Huh?'. Is there even such a thing? AFAIK, only the first and second violinist have more or less fixed seated positions. I didn't know they arranged by how good the rest of the strings section are lol. Ah okay so that's why... I was wondering why the shot lingered on him holding his right hand. I didn't really read any character description before this. Was this mentioned anywhere?

Oh my gosh how come I didn't know that there's a new ABS club what the... Thanks for the tag @abs-oluteM LOL

Making Video for Ep1&2 on SBS channel: #ABSssalert for @abs-oluteM (omg I tried to tag triplem again out of habit :/ )

Made it a priority to watch Ep 1 before work today haha. Ep 1 did not disappoint! I've separated my thoughts into 2 parts, music and non-music. Music: The conductor for the first performance was a little too harsh asking two violinists to leave. Does this even happen in real life? Usually, if certain sections are too loud, the conductor will just request for the section to play softer (p, pp or even ppp!). The rehearsal shown was on the day of the performance, so the conductor would already have had many practices with the orchestra, and the numbers would already have been decided long time ago. The only reason members are removed is probably if they are really not up to par, not because the section is 'too loud'. It just doesn't make sense to remove members on the day of the performance itself. I was in a choir before and we did many performances, but this never happened. So this was just a decision that made me scratch my head. Kim Min Jae's performance on the piano: Looked pretty realistic as far as dramas go! Except for the (maybe) nit-pick that he bounced a little too much for the first part when he did the crescendo lol. It almost looked like he was gonna lift his bottom off the seat For comparison: There have been many uses of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2. both as derivative works and in popular culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No._2_(Rachmaninoff) For music drama watchers, it was also performed in Nodame Cantabile (Jdrama). Schumann - Träumerei First time hearing of this piece, played by the main character Joon-young, also shown in the teasers. Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D major, Op 35 Played by Chae Song-ah. This is one of the best-known violin concertos, and also used in Nodame Cantabile. I'm wondering if CSA will get to be the soloist of this piece by the end of the drama to show her growth as a violinist. Non-music: Being 29: "Do you have a plan?" What are your prospects? What are you going to do next? (And the dreaded when are you going to settle down?) I could identify so much with Chae Song-ah during the scene with her family. Since, I'm in a similar age range as her, I get asked these questions a lot too, though mostly by friends/acquaintances. Thank goodness my family does not pile on the stress like her family does. I cringed when they showed her family as being such an unsupportive bunch. Of course, I get where the mom and sister are coming from but they could have worded their opinions better. I'm already invested in CSA's character because I see myself in her. On the ship (lol) after Ep 1: This two are so awkward-cute. But Joon-young still has to work out his feelings for Jung-Kyeong. And based on Song-ah's narration about Brahms, Schumann and Clara, JY is being compared to Brahms, right? That's it for Episode 1. Sorry for the long post!

Oh my me too. Claustrophobic. I also have fear of crowded places with lots of people (there's a name for that but I can't remember). I have other composers I like but I guess 'yes' to Brahms? Since I don't not like his music lol. Do you listen to classical music?

Yes I need coffee everyday lol, preferably in the morning! Though sometimes I go for tea also. No I don't own pajamas. My go-to sleepwear is shorts and a comfy tee. Do you have fear of heights?

@SilverMoonTea oops my bad hahahhaha Yes I like camping. I like outdoor activities. Except for the mosquitoes part lol Do you have to drink coffee every morning to function for the day?

No for me it only happens on screen lol Do you prefer your oppa clean-shaven or bearded?

Yeah bottle up until one day just explode. Haha I keep a lot of things to myself though I know it’s unhealthy. Do you prefer working or studying?

Yes. I am also quite sarcastic myself but some people don’t get it sometimes so I might have offended some people before lol :/ Do you collect anything as a hobby?

Hahaha this is not a Yes/No question! But I like flavoured cookies more. Eg. with pecan or cashew. I like butter cookies too! Do you sing a lot?

Haha. I think we have the same favourite seasons! But too bad I live in a tropical country Watching something. Can be drama/show/sports/ just random YT videos lol. Do you bake?
