A Heartfelt Andante
By Na Yoonhee
Genre: Drama
Episodes: 56, Ongoing
Image: WebtoonDa-ul was diagnosed with a heart disease when he was only 12 years old. After spending years in the hospital, his fate seemed grim with no donor. That was until the day the death of famous pianist Yuwon saves him. With a second chance at life, Da-ul vowed not to take the new heart for granted and to live his life to the fullest. But upon learning years later of a secret connected to Yuwon’s heart, a guilty Da-ul takes it upon himself to help Yeonjo, Yuwon’s grieving fiancé. But what will Da-ul do when his guilt turns into something else?
“A Heartfelt Andante” is a melancholic tale about life, love, loss, and those stuck between them. By the first episode, a sick and young Da-ul will immediately strike a chord. Creator Na Yoonhee is best known for their other drama webtoon “Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid,” which became a tear-jerking sensation. So, I recommend getting some tissues ready for this one too. You’ll breeze right through this series without a daily pass.
Who this is for:
- People who enjoy K-Drama.
- People who want a therapeutic knife to the heart (metaphorically, of course.)
