"Do You Like Brahms" is about a group of students involved in an elite school of music at their university.   A struggling 4th year violinist meets a successful pianist.  Despite the large gap in their musical talent, the 2 have many things in common;  most notable, a crush on someone they can never have.  As they commiserate on their painful love experiences, a strong friendship and attraction develops and the process of healing begins.

This is another slow moving drama.  Like the classical music that plays throughout, it is beautiful and poignant, but also serious in theme.  Do You Like Brahms is not a lighthearted rom-com.  Some people have complained that it was depressing and frustrating.  I don't agree.  But it is a love story about 2 introverted musicians, who carry the scars of life, meeting and learning how to relate to each other.  Love is seldom completely smooth sailing, and this drama never forgets that life and love are complicated and heartbreaking, at times.  If you love classical music or melodramatic love stories, this is a good drama for you.  But if you get bored by slow moving plots and romances, you probably should take a pass.  I give Do You Like Brahms a 3 out of 5 ramen.
