Synopsis
Brought up in an orphanage, Haoto, a young blind girl, was teased and discriminated against, and the only things she enjoyed were playing with a puppy at the pet shop, and playing the piano. Eve though she is blind, Haoto had an amazing talent that even she didn’t realize. A talent called ‘perfect pitch’. She could play any song on the piano after hearing it only once. Finally, someone noticed her talent. His name was Shinya Minazuki, and he was also a lonely pianist who was brought up in an orphanage. Haoto about to start a new life in a world unknown to her, comes to be entangled in an intense dispute between the siblings of the rich Minazuki family over who will inherit their prestigious music school. What will happen to the gifted Haoto? This drama which evolves around beautiful piano music, is full of love, suspense, and mystery.

1. The ending needs work [Rating: 5/10]
Overall I enjoyed the drama except its poor ending which lacks explaination to make the drama a whole. The drama stared out well and the characters' motives were clear. A test in search for the piano talent is conducted in every episode which can be quite bizarrd.
Asides from that the story moves fairly slowly and the ending leaves viewers walking away puzzled.

Started promising, with lots of incredible piano contests among young people. But the connection among these youngsters are lost, once they are eliminated from the competition. Finally, the aim of the competition is also very bizarre, and nobody is sure who murdered whom. What a big mess! And the final scene was laughable, with the gunshot sounding, and the audience left guessing what on earth happened, and what significance it has.

This is one of the worst shows I have seen, because it keeps you in suspense and confusion to the end, and yet does not resolve any of those doubts. Instead, the last episode makes the entire drama even more complicated. Acting was lukewarm, even amateur at times. Dialogue was trying too hard to impress, but unable to convince. That it is a drama serial specially drafted for the TV station's 50th anniversary is unbelievable. What a letdown.

The only good thing in the drama was the music. If not for my interest of music, I would have turned the TV off.
