Editor's Review
Goo Ra Ra, a naive and wealthy girl, dreams of becoming a great pianist with her father’s love guiding her. However, her life takes a rocky turn when her father passes away, leaving her bankrupt. Scammed out of her home, she encounters an accident while trying to avoid Sun Woo Joon, a diligent worker struggling to make ends meet. Hospitalized with a broken arm and nowhere to go, Sun Woo Joon takes responsibility for her and cares for her. As Ra Ra’s naive personality slowly creeps into Sun Woo Joon’s heart, they both navigate the challenges of adult life.
Review: “Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol” starts off promisingly, with a great cast, chemistry, and intriguing plot points. The mystery surrounding the identity of “DoDoSolSolLaLaSol,” the fated romance between Ra Ra and Jun, growing friendships in Eunpo, and the secondary couples’ relationships all contribute to the show’s appeal.
However, around episode 14, the drama takes a frustrating turn. The writers introduce clichéd K-drama tropes, such as incurable diseases, memory loss, and ex-girlfriend jealousy. These plot devices feel forced and unnecessary, detracting from the show’s potential. The big fate reveal is touching, but the resolution feels rushed and unsatisfying.
Despite its flaws, “Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol” has its merits. The cast delivers solid performances, and the piano music is fantastic. The theme of “twinkle twinkle little star” adds a whimsical touch. Unfortunately, the execution falls short, leaving viewers disappointed by the final episodes.
In summary, “Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol” is a light and bubbly drama with wasted potential. It’s a cure for those feeling down, but the inconsistent storytelling and unnecessary twists prevent it from reaching its full brilliance.
