Will you get infected by the Beethoven Virus?

Leejia_0905_4

MBC hopes so.

MBC has another new music drama this Fall, “Beethoven’s Virus” – the premise of the drama follows how the the musicians who have given up on music and the musicians who were kicked out of the music scene come together to form an orchestra. Sounds exciting.

The stars of the drama, Jang Geun-suk (who plays the trumpet), Lee Jia (violinist), Kim Myong-min (conductor) performed at the press conference on September 3rd at the Songnam Art Center.

Beethoven’s Virus will infect television sets everywhere on September 10 on MBC, Wednesday/Thursday at 9:55pm.

    I think it’s has sort of a good storyline going on. I’d definitely watch it.

  4. 4 jenfraud September 5, 2008 at 10:10 pm

  5. 5 saera September 5, 2008 at 10:19 pm

    Ok…so did they learn to play the instruments or what? I’m confused.

  6. 6 love triangle??? September 5, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    Hmmn, this series makes me lift an eyebrow.. would it really be a love triangle??? One’s older than the female and the other looks younger, though.. so is it gonna be a good match between the 2 guys.. Well, juz see how the story goes..

  7. 7 Ria September 5, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    JGS looks so cute! I love his sense of style

  8. 8 statz September 5, 2008 at 10:59 pm

    kim young min is here. I really respect him as an actor. He is really good and awesome actor. He won an award of the best actor. I think it was daejang award of I said it right. But I am so watching this, lee jia is here too and of course jang jeun seuk!! Excited!!!

  9. 9 Julie September 5, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    Another unfortunate name! Beethoven’s virus was…syphilis. Awesome.

  10. 10 p September 5, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    love jung geun suk but why does he always get a role that has smthing to do with music? the happy life, doremifasoladido and now this.. but looking forward to it nonetheless

  11. 11 7=jesus September 6, 2008 at 12:18 am

    no i won’t get infected

  12. 12 Remee chan September 6, 2008 at 1:10 am

    mm I wanna get infected XD

  13. 13 annie September 6, 2008 at 1:25 am

    wow! this is gonna be exciting!

  14. 14 streetspirit September 6, 2008 at 1:36 am

    sounds like a spin on Nodame Cantabile….hope its decent..

  15. 15 tangy September 6, 2008 at 2:51 am

    this looks really interesting!

    geun suk oppa always choose great projects to be in!

  16. 16 Meru September 6, 2008 at 2:57 am

    Nah, I don’t think it’s like Nodame Cantabile, other than it being a classical music drama. It doesn’t look like a comedy either. Seems kind of interesting if there is no cliche romance.

  17. 17 yo September 6, 2008 at 4:45 am

    maybe because jang geun suk is in it. he’s just hot!

  18. 18 Korean Ajusshi September 6, 2008 at 6:02 am

    Well, I guess it could help more Koreans get interested in Western classical music.

  19. 19 ss September 6, 2008 at 7:14 am

    conflict seems the same: stuck up perfectionist who hates “inferior” people slowly thaws out & becomes likable. struggling young people get spat on, screw up, finally achieve their dream.

  20. 20 Sara September 6, 2008 at 7:40 am

    The plot sounds similar to this other Japanese orchestra drama comedy

  21. 21 ms.kwon ji yong September 6, 2008 at 7:45 am

    Jang Geun-suk
    YAY

  22. 22 Sharurotto September 6, 2008 at 8:11 am

    I want that dress for prom……lol

  23. 23 Lana September 6, 2008 at 8:56 am

    kim Myeong min is such a good actor! I absolutely hated his character in ‘white tower’ (which happens to be my all time favorite drama)! When he got cancer, I said, ’see! If you hadn’t been so mean!’ I’ll watch it just for him.

  24. 24 s0ysauce September 6, 2008 at 9:43 am

    I just got chills, which is a good thing. I’m going to love it.

  25. 25 anuesol September 6, 2008 at 10:24 am

    Nodame Cantabile was meticulously done & was applauded for it prduction. Beethovon Virus is yet to be critiqued; but
    whoever invested in this Virus might have a preference in classical music.

  26. 26 CA September 6, 2008 at 10:27 am

    this is something to look forward to with LJA, i like her, she’s a good actress…. i will definitely watch this series.

  27. 27 jen September 6, 2008 at 11:52 am

    jang geun suk!!! yay!! in too-short pants….boo.

  28. 28 okeydoke September 6, 2008 at 11:54 am

    yay,
    at least its not your typical korean drama
    you know. the love triangles, everyone who happens to be connected, the son of a business, cancer.. blahblah. oh and of course every person seems to have had that childhood love.

    where was mine? i don’t know of anyone who has had one.
    hahah. jk, i still love kdramas.

  29. 29 funkoffan September 6, 2008 at 12:09 pm

    I would watch (and have watched) anything with Jang Geun-suk in it. Anything.

  30. 30 chichi September 6, 2008 at 12:11 pm

    jep, i’m infected with the virus (:

    Definitely a must-see for me!

  31. 31 iPoop September 6, 2008 at 10:53 pm

    sounds nice. i would wanna watch it :]

  32. 32 Jane. September 7, 2008 at 1:47 am

    YAY Jang Geun Suk<3

  33. 33 waruiyume September 7, 2008 at 7:57 am

    eh. Orchestra? Nothing against classical music, but it’s not my genre. Sorry, but i won’t be getting infected by this one.

  34. 34 krissuperharo September 7, 2008 at 11:15 am

    i cant wait until this comes out. i always loved dramas that had to do with music.

  35. 35 rting September 7, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    korean version of NODAME CANTABILE!!!!

    =.=

  36. 36 angel26_j September 7, 2008 at 1:05 pm

    This reminds me of Nodame…
    Difference is..,. this one seems more serious and so less joke…
    Can’t wait… never watch Jang Geun Seuk’s act before.
    LOL

    Can it be that i’m also infected/… Aish..

  37. 37 itsRaining September 7, 2008 at 4:16 pm

    maybe i’ll watch it,
    only because it has JANG GEUN SEUK

  38. 38 boolie2woolie September 8, 2008 at 12:12 am

    wah… great!!! is this a movie/ serie??
    it’ll be better if this is a serie! >_<” can’t wait

  39. 39 frank September 8, 2008 at 12:23 am

    sound like great…

  40. 40 Kenri September 8, 2008 at 4:15 am

    I’ll watch it for sure!!!!

  41. 41 kagandahan September 8, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    very reminiscent of Nodame Cantabile… would love to watch it though :D

  42. 42 jovanka September 16, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    yeah!!!!!GO EJIAH,this is once again a blockbuster for you,i am hoping that it will also be aired here in the PHILIPPINES….am praying coz i miss u already and Bae yong joon after the airing of the Legend…Keep it up!!!!

  43. 43 Lila September 17, 2008 at 4:45 am

    to Julia
    I wonder why noone ever reflected on ur comment.
    ‘t was sharp!
    i hope this drama comes to the net with eng subs soon, so we all can check it out. so far it seems to be quite ordinary: romance and shallow subject covering. jang geun suk is hot, though.

  44. 44 lja October 20, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    lja is is not only pretty. shes also a great actress in the the story of four gods…excited for this new drama. beauty and brains for lja…

  45. 45 sa November 2, 2008 at 7:05 pm

    I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! =)

  46. 46 umi November 4, 2008 at 5:52 am

    Oh,yes! You can say I have been infected with beethoven virus… I love the drama. You really don’t have to be into the classical to love it.. really worth it.

  47. 47 sharon29 November 4, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    Kim Myung Min is the best.Even from the first episodeI gothooked because of his unbelievable acting.I honestly believe that guy…I loved him,hated him,felt sad for him, was happy to see him make that crooked smile when he listens to the girl`s recordings…I can`t believe I`m completely taken by his act.Anybody there who can tell me where I can also check out his other dramas pls tell…..

  48. 48 Zaku November 14, 2008 at 12:09 am

    this drama is unbelievably good and the acting is breathtaking. especially by Kim Myung Min (who plays the conductor)-

    sharon29, you should check out some of his other dramas like “White Tower” (he won the MBC best actor award and another best actor award for it) and “Bad Family” (i loved it) //

    I think they’re available for online watch at mysoju.com =)

  49. 49 Ebony November 19, 2008 at 9:23 am

    This is one of the best dramas this year. Love the interaction between Jang Geun Suk and Kim Myong Min!!!! Why did it have to end, oh well back to my other predictable dramas :(

  50. 50 seprienna December 21, 2008 at 4:07 am

    i really love this drama…
    the music is superb..
    JGS look so cute in this series…aww
