Nadia Sep 02 2025 2:44 am The chemistry between the leads is on fire. I think this is my first time watching Lee Mu Saeng doing role as protagonist, but sometimes in the drama I can see him channeling his villain role especially in episode 9 when he finds out someone was deliberately poisoned Cha Seeum and the look on his face was scary like he is ready to ends someone's life.

rosaana villagesa Nov 14 2024 4:50 am I heard there's a dae jang geum sequel. I can't wait to watch it, fan of LYA since 2004!

Zainou Feb 13 2024 7:26 am There is a resemblance of Kim Myung Min's Beethoven Virus in Lee Young Ae's Maestra.. in terms conducting process it's a good reference point... but was hoping for something a little different.... the whole series is surrounded with incurable disease... murder... drugs... infidelity... Beethoven Virus is a better drama series in terms of appreciating music....

Jillibean Jan 22 2024 7:43 pm Finally finished it. The acting was excellent, it was the writing that tended to be repetitive and transparent in its execution. When I started the drama I had no idea it would be essentially a murder mystery ... although the identity of the killer was discernable early on. I was glad as it neared its end that there were more classical music performances, but once again, if you truly want to watch a drama about musicians who love classical music there's really only one masterpiece choice: Beethoven Virus.

a21 Jan 19 2024 7:09 am when Sseum plays Brahms, her figure reminds me of Nodame Cantabile's Shinichi Chiaki..

Dahlia Jan 14 2024 6:51 pm One question, when did Seum divorce her husband? Did i missed out the part that she already officially divorced? Coz i’d seen that the documentary is still on going when her husband been injected.

Sten Jan 09 2024 1:42 pm Good, very good ??

Wnny Jan 08 2024 3:53 am I think the persons harming Cha Seerum could be as follows:

(1) Lee Ai-Jin together with Cha Seerum's ex-husband (Kim Phil) killed Kim Bong-Ju,

(2) Kim Phil poisoned Cha Seerum via perfume, as he wanted Cha Seerum's money and reputation, and

(3) Runa tampered with Lee Ai-Jin's car brake.

I think in the next eps 11, Kim Phil is hospitalized, therefore, either Lee Ai-Jin or Runa injects poison into Kim Phil and Kim Phil dies.

Seun Jan 07 2024 11:16 pm I think Luna is d one who killed Kim bong ju, she's also the one who tampered with seem husband gf brake when she visited her, she's a psycho pretending to be good, she's obsessed with seeum, trying to break her up with people around her

Jillibean Jan 04 2024 6:28 pm This would be so much better if it didn't seem to go the way of a soap opera but concentrated on everyone's love of classical music, like in Beethoven Virus.

Puntha Jan 02 2024 1:11 pm Oh this is simply amazing! I really like the series.

An Jan 01 2024 11:05 am Only 12 eps? Gosh I hope Yoo Jeong-Jae gets the love he deserves.

Jillibean Jan 01 2024 7:53 am I think both lead male characters are creepy and our conductress would be far better off if neither were in control of her life.

WL Dec 31 2023 11:31 pm looking forward to next eps, this drama storyline is exciting and with two veterans (Lee Young-Ae and Lee Mu-Saeng).

Seems Kim Phil (Cha Seerum's husband) is eerie, maybe he and Lee Ai-Jin (Kim Phil's gf) killed Kim Bong-Ju and they framed Cha Seerum.

Hope Yoo Jeong-Jae will find out the truth and help Cha Seerum

Jillibean Dec 31 2023 3:39 pm I'm finally getting around to watching this drama about classical musicians, female conductor. Well acted but it's no Beethoven Virus, and that drama was a full take-your-breath-away masterpiece from beginning to end. I'll stick to it for my Saimdang, but it's just not as addictive as Beethoven Virus.

N3g Dec 25 2023 10:52 am I think runa also vallian here because she so obviously obsessed with cha se eum like lee jeong jea.. omg selfish something , cha se eum cannot breathe I watch... so scary have ex like that or really bf or husband like that.

WL Dec 24 2023 8:40 am Watched eps 1-5, the storyline is really good. Lee Young-Ae and Lee Mu-Saeng are two veterans; they are versatile in their different roles of different storylines. Hope to see more of them in different dramas/storylines.

GreatWD Dec 23 2023 11:50 am Can not stand the Cheating husband and girlfriend. They both need to move on and find a room.

Adultry drama?? Nah I'm still watching Dec 23 2023 4:42 am I thought this would be a musical melodrama but ended as another adultry drama.. I'm still going to watch because it's good.. love lee young ae and hwang boreum byeol moments the most

Duaa Dec 19 2023 1:46 pm I do remember I've watched for Lee Young-Ae "jewel in a castle" I watched it in 2006 I really loved at that time so this is going to be the second drama to watch for her "Meastra Strings of Truth"

Nana Dec 18 2023 4:29 am The released episodes impressed me. The cast is also very talented and the story intriguing. I definitely want to watch more next week.

@Jillibean Dec 17 2023 2:20 am @Jillibean : Disney+ Hotstar. Btw, this is soooo good...

Jillibean Dec 16 2023 5:10 pm Where is this playing?

GreatWD Dec 16 2023 2:41 pm First Two esp are good. Can not wait for the 3r and 4th esp.

Apparently the husband has a child!!!!

Maestra Dec 11 2023 5:43 am Wow the first 2 episodes are promising. The characters are crazy and the musics are wonderful. I'm excited to see more!

Hi Dec 11 2023 4:45 am Lee youngae looks like a professional orchestra conductor here, her body movements is so amazing

Chey Nov 28 2023 4:20 am Can't wait for this! Saimdang is a gem of a drama!!!!! Loved her sooo much they're.

Aimen May 03 2023 3:37 am My first girl crush Lee YeongAe...<333

Dr Sunshine Dec 01 2022 4:23 am Waaah can’t wait for this. Lee young Ae my lady ????. Will wait for more news on this?? fighting & waiting Dae Jang Geum?

MissAA Nov 22 2022 4:54 pm I'm so happy to see her in a new series. If it has a good and interesting story, this talented lady will shine beautifully. Saimdang and Jewel in the palace were masterpieces.

Jill Nov 21 2022 6:30 pm I've been watching her for decades, since Asphalt in the 1990's. So exquisite in Saimdang. I will watch her in anything. This sounds good!

Coin Nov 20 2022 11:29 pm Lolzz its funny i am currently watching naeil cantabile which is about orchestra conductor and i read this , felt so weird. Love young ae. Do mysterious cases mean something like her previous drama , detective koo something. Hope its a great comeback for her, a beautiful person.
