I liked this mostly for the music rather than the plot. The plot was simple and pretty typical. A young singer falls for the wrong girl and has a hard time. But boy was the music beautiful! Those honey voices! Sigh! It was just great. It was also a good snap shot into the past, a little history of music and culture in the 70s. It is a story about the fictional third member of the duo Twin Folio and how he came to be a member and then not debut with them. Jung Woo was perfect for that awkward, country boy role. There were lots of good moments, lots of funny moments, and yes some meh moments too. Ultimately the music won me over, but the plot was not that compelling to me. That being said, the music and flavor is enough to have me recommend it, as is the acting and singing. Just don't expect something deep. It's more just an enjoyable snap of the past, in the 1970s folk music craze.
