Beethoven Virus

I finally decided to start watching Beethoven Virus and it is absolutely hilarious! First episode had some weird visual effects for one scene -- looked really low budget -- but I love classical music and any drama that has something to do with music usually has me hooked lol ^__^ I really like it so far. The main girl is hilarious, I really like her at the moment lol.

Basically, the story is about this violinist who works as a civil servant -- I think it's what she does -- and she comes up with this plan to make the city she lives in the next big music capital, so she gets a grant from the mayor of the city to create and fund a local orchestra to bring people to this city and generate even more revenue from it. The problem is that every orchestra she joins ends up disbanding, and the scandal that happens this time is even worse. The conductor-to-be ends up being arrested in a case of fraud, so all the money that should go to paying the musicians basically disappears. None of the players want to perform with no pay, so they all decide to pull out, leaving Ru Mi (the main girl) to fend for herself and a $3 billion won debt.

She starts to find willing musicians who do not care to be paid to form a small community orchestra to make up for the ones who left in order to hold up the pretense that things were going smoothly -- when she was questioned about the project by the mayor. She and her friend are trying to find as many people as possible, but discover that they lack a trumpet player. Just when that revelation is made, she hears beautiful trumpet playing in the background and she rushes out from her room into the streets to find the place where the trumpet player is playing. She discovers from her landlady that the guy playing is her nephew and he's currently house-sitting for one of their neighbors. He's a cop on suspension for losing his cool one day during work, so Ru Mi decides that he must have a lot of time. Her landlady tells her that her nephew, Kang Gun Woo, is really stubborn and doesn't want to do the orchestra thing, but he is extremely weak to people who are in need of help, which then makes Ru Mi act like a partially deaf violinist in order to get Gun Woo to join her orchestra lol.

This is as far as I've gotten right now, but it's so funny. I need to finish watching the rest lol.
