Heartstrings for those in North America

[dangermousie]

For those of you who are in NA, can't get around viki restrictions and can't find downloadable subs/don't like to download, dramafever has just posted the first episode. I would imagine this will be the proper allowed lag, i.e. getting the eps 2 days after thet air, which is not bad at all (I believe Chuno had the same 2-day lag on viki).

I cannot comment whether Heartstrings is worth the effort to find as, due to City Hunter fever, I have yet to watch it, something I plan to remedy this weekend. I do think I will like it - the PD did Worlds Within, my favorite kdrama of all time, and Heartstrings' look and feel remind me of WW. Plus, whatever merit or lack thereof Jung Yonghwa has in acting, he more than remedies through his fierce, natural chemistry with Park Shin Hye. Add in the fact that I adore all four main actors and the type of story, and I am quite hopeful.

Plus, I am ridiculously excited that in this one, they are going to let the actual musician sing. I was always bemused that the idol group in YAB had two "proper" singers (both of whom are damn good!) but almost all the singing went to the amateurs :) I love Jang Geun Seok's singing, I do. Ditto for Park Shin Hye. But they understandably can't compare with the pipes on Jung Yong Hwa or Lee Hongki.

Well, I'm not feeling the love for Heartstrings. Except that it's a perky light little thing, so maybe I'll watch it eventually. City Hunter, however, continues to bring the awesome. No matter how nonsensical the plot is if you stop to think about it, it made it's own little comic book world, so I just park the brain and enjoy.

Yup, CH is very very mangaish in feel.
