》After Jaehyun’s piano performance goes viral, world-renowned classical music professor, Kang Minwoo, takes him under his wing. This entails both a scholarship at a prestigious music school and...a sexual relationship outside of the classroom. Jaehyun hopes his special relationship with the professor will come with perks, such as an opportunity to study in Germany. But when the professor’s son, a piano prodigy, enters the picture, Jaehyun finds his plans thwarted 》grrr i was actuallly rlly irritated since ch 1, idk the uke just gets on my nerve, the plot too. idk i jist wanna shout and let the frustration out of my chest. 》I don’t know why but I didn’t like this story as much as I thought, it left me with mixed feelings. The art is beautiful but I personally didn’t like the characters, how their relationship was, how it developed to be and how it ended. Also even tho it’s kinda of a happy ending for them I feel like they don’t have much chemistry, maybe it’s bc they didn’t really show much of their relationship, until the end the father was there being an asshole and the uke just going along with it bc he was being manipulated and had no choice or thought he didn’t, it all felt kinda rushed idk

How dare Seheon play his brother’s song? -- “If I ever catch you playing the piano again...that’ll be the end of you.” -- And with that begins their story, as unpredictable and visceral as jazz 》THIS MF KEEPS OPENING UP MY UNHEALED WOUNDS ㅠㅠ BUT it was really so beautiful, it was depressing then wholesome and then so sad that it made me cry but so worth it. Totally worth it
