Kang Geon Wu, famous maestro, a perfectionist who holds himself in high esteem for working hard to reach where he is now. Kang Geon Wu, a young man who shares the same name as the maestro, but hates music with a passion despite his natural genius in playing the trumpet. Unknowingly bringing those two together is the cheerful Durumi who has a dream of playing in an orchestra at least once in her life before her illness takes away her sense of sound.

	Kang geon wu (the maestro) did well as the eccentric, arrogant musician who would rather throw away the whole orchestra than correct the mistake of one player. I am now convinced that he is a maestro in real life and refuse to believe he is an actor @_@ The drama has too many episodes if you ask me, I dont know why Korean drama tends to stretch what cant be stretched for no reason O_O but the episodes in between were OK, anythink to keep watching more of Beethoven virus XD the characters were diverse and some were funny while others were right out annoying -_- the main character Durumi is cute and at first i liked her very much, but along the show she just turned stale and confusing because she couldnt decide which Kang geon wu she loved -_-! It is said that the drama was loosely based on the Japanese Nodame Cantabile, but there is no connection between the two other than the fact that both drama have an orchestra. while nodame is centered around the music and the love between characters and the comedy, also about the hardships that face musicians in the classical genre. Beethoven virus was the typical Korean love triangle that never really solves itself untill the very end, and the story kept going back and forth between the orchestra members joining or leaving the band and didnt focus on the hardships they might face on the field. It was like a story written about a love triangle that happens to be in an orchestra, not about an orchestra that works hard and finds love along the way __ it was fun though, i dont know how they convinced me to watch it till the very end XD that means there is something good about it, right? i still feel happy when i think about this drama, so i guess you can give it a shot if you liked nodame but want something less silly\halarious or just want it to be in Korean language _
