REVIEW:
So, I really only watched this because I was avoiding watching the long list of dramas that I've been putting on the back burner for about forever.  The drama is short, so I figured that it wouldn't take too much of my time to watch it. 

As far as the drama went, it was alright.  Straight drama shows aren't really my cup of tea, so I can't really say it was something I would watch again.  Maybe other people who like straight Drama genres would enjoy it, but it just wasn't for me.  It wasn't horrible to watch, though, and they produced the story quite well.

"Jun Seol starts a band to get her life back on track. She recently divorced her husband after realizing that she deserved to be treated better by her husband's family. Her band mates are also 'ahjummas' who also have personal problems of their own."

I personally found this show very addicting, but I heard many people say that there were things in the show that were disappointing. Although many viewers didn't like the ending, I felt that the ending was realistic.  Truthfully, I kind of always knew it would end the way it did, so it doesn't surprise me.  The only problem with a realistic ending, though, is that viewers don't usually enjoy reality.  Most viewers disregard realistic stories in favor of a fairy tale, as fairy tales tend to end beautifully.  Sometimes, however, it is refreshing to watch something that is not sugarcoated.

The next thing that a potential viewer might want to know before hand is that there are a lot of episodes that deal with law since her ex-husband is a lawyer.  Don't be surprised if an episode minimizes the music aspect in order to show more of her personal life and what she is going through at the time.
