“He Tried to Divide His Heart and Broke Theirs”

DramaRomance

The daughter of a musical mentor adores a promising composer, who is quite fond of the adolescent. When her father dies, an uncle arrives with his own grown daughter, who begins a romance with the composer which culminates in marriage but creates an emotional rivalry that affects the three.

VIBE

A sweeping, passionate drama about the intense bonds of love and art. It feels like a grand, old-fashioned romance steeped in melancholy and the sacrifices made for creative genius. A truly heart-wrenching experience.
