Synopsis
Lee Shin is a university student majoring in modern music. He is also the vocalist and guitarist of the band “The Stupid.” Shin is known for his good looks and strong passion for music, but in reality he is cold, lacks interest in anything unrelated to music and has neither dreams nor plans for the future. He initially likes Jung Yoon Soo, a dance professor at university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won.
Lee Kyu Won is a bright and outgoing student who was born into a prestigious family and is majoring in traditional Korean instruments, especially the gayageum. Kyu Won’s grandfather, Lee Dong Gun, is one of the top 3 traditional musicians of his age and his biggest wish is to see his granddaughter become a traditional music prodigy. Trying to live up to her grandfather’s expectations, Kyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing outside of her studies. As her friends are fans of “The Stupid”, she was forced to go to the band’s concert with them. There she saw Lee Shin performing live, and is immediately captivated by him.

Kyu-won puts hand to heart and wonders if it’s broken — in the literal sense, not the anguish of thwarted emotion, since she’s yet to clue in on the source of those feelings.
Seok-hyun wrestles with his jealousy as he arrives outside Yoon-su’s place, carrying the necklace he’d picked out as a present for her. She calls him just as he’s about to ring her doorbell and asks for a raincheck, and he lies that he was about to cancel, too, covering up his disappointment. Aw. I care not for the wet dishrag who’s the object of your affections, but I hate seeing you hurt. Boo.
That means Shin’s the only one who’s happy tonight; he goes home on cloud nine and begins composing a song.
In the morning, Kyu-won runs into Yoon-su at the coffee shop for her daily cappuccino run. The teacher greets her warmly, but Kyu-won’s uncomfortable and excuses herself at the first opportunity. Shin isn’t there in his usual spot to receive the coffee, but she spies him arriving on the quad, lighting up at the sight of Yoon-su.
Both Kyu-won and Seok-hyun see them walking off together, their faces darkening, not aware that Yoon-su is actually taking him aside to give him a firm rejection. Given his persistence, she’s purposely harsh, calling this child’s play and telling him that she needs a man, not a child. Ouch.
That hurts, but Shin isn’t one to back down and he calls her bluff — and I suspect there’s a bit of the bluff in there, because she seems to feel a flicker of attraction that she’s pushing away. Shin challenges her to say that she didn’t feel the slightest twinge of attraction, and she confirms it, returning his necklace.
He vows, “No matter what you think, this is how I feel. I’m going to act the way I want. One more thing: I’m not a child.” He’s in such a bad mood that when he sees Kyu-won’s coffee sitting there on the ledge, he ignores it.
Kyu-won practices listlessly, and when she steps outside to see the untouched coffee still there, her temper flares. She storms into Shin’s practice studio to declare herself done with his coffee errands, and that he’d better drink that coffee or there’ll be hell to pay.
He retorts that she’d better just do as she’s told and not pick fights about it, and with both in equally pissy moods, the conversation takes a turn for the antagonistic. Kyu-won gets to the point and asks point-blank if he likes Yoon-su, saying that’s ridiculous and impossible.
He challenges, “What’s so impossible about it?” He relieves her of errand duty, and tells her to butt out of his business from now on, leaving with a glare. She pretends she’s relieved, all while fighting angry tears.
Seok-hyun plays a song he’s working on for another professor, who recommends Shin for the guitar solo. This is his chance to rise above the jealousy, be the bigger man, and — no? You’re gonna go the grudging, I don’t think he’s all that route instead? Okay then. I do enjoy that Seok-hyun’s got that petty streak.
Shin is late to musical rehearsal, to everyone’s irritation, and walks in with a casual apology. Seok-hyun seethes, but has to concede that the band’s performance is “not bad.” But that’s all he’s going to give, and he says the guitar playing was lacking, prompting Shin to burst into a solo right then and there. Knowing he rocked it, he asks what’s wrong with it. Seok-hyun just says, “I suppose you’ll improve in time.”
After rehearsal, Shin approaches Seok-hyun and asks — amidst glare-off — for him to indicate exactly what is lacking in his guitar playing. Lordy, this boy has a pretty high-handed way of speaking to elders — I can see why the girls love it, but why he comes off as a punkass sometimes. Seok-hyun replies, “Don’t be late. And don’t be arrogant.”
Now for Ki-young, with his foot in a cast and an attitude simmering with resentment toward Seok-hyun, who all but kidnaps him from the hospital. He delivers Ki-young to an empty theater and tells him that he’ll eat, sleep, and breathe the theater for the near future, determined to ensure that Ki-young performs onstage again, no matter what.
Far from moved, Ki-young calls Seok-hyun out for acting out of guilt rather than for his benefit. An interesting point, if Seok-hyun has anything to feel guilty about; his reaction to the charge supports that accusation.
Seok-hyun drops in on Yoon-su’s office, and notices that she’s not wearing Shin’s necklace. Casually, he mentions Shin, sharing how he’d challenged Seok-hyun not to mess with her, and that he’d admitted openly to liking her.
Yoon-su calls it pity, saying that Shin’s too young to realize he’s mistaking that feeling for love. Seok-hyun asks if that’s all there is, and if the feeling is only on Shin’s side, which makes her toss out, “Are you jealous of him?” To her surprise, Seok-hyun replies, “Yes, I am.” Aw, I love when characters are candid, instead of spending precious time pussyfootin’ about the issue.
The Windflower girls are actually disappointed that Kyu-won’s slave/errand days are over, wishing they could take over for her. Kyu-won asks if they have no pride, and they waste no time replying, “Nope, we don’t!” Heh. What’s pride in the face of the campus hottie? And hormones?
Shin happens to see the coffee still sitting there on the ledge, bearing another of Kyu-won’s annoyed notes (“Are you training a dog?”). He intends to leave the cup there, but thinks again and ends up taking a swig of the now-cold coffee, per her orders.
His bike ride home takes him by the bus stop where Kyu-won sits, nodding off as she waits, which gives him an idea… And when she gets on the bus, people snicker at the Post-It note he’s stuck to her forehead: “Beware of mutt! It’s fierce! Do not disturb!” Oh, cute. I do like this pair best when they’re bickering like schoolchildren.
The next morning, she finds the cup still there, both annoyed and disappointed, and picks it up to throw away. But it’s warm — and there’s a note attached, addressed to her and saying that Shin has spit in it. A quick comparison of notes tells her that Shin’s the Beware of Dog guy, and that makes her smile.
She spots him with his bandmates and starts to call out excitedly…then calms herself and calls to him casually. Crumpling the Post-Its pointedly, she tosses it at his head and sticks out her tongue. He suppresses a smile of his own.
Musical rehearsals. Seok-hyun selects Hee-joo and Kyu-won to sing the lead role, and the other professor speaks up to suggest Shin sing the male lead. Hee-joo’s vocals are fine, Shin’s likewise, while Kyu-won’s… She’s kind of on key, but warbles. The others are unimpressed, while Seok-hyun stops her and instructs her to put more feeling behind it, to interpret the lyrics.
Afterward, she thanks Shin for the coffee, and they’re both in lighter moods now, ready to make up for the fight. She apologizes for overreacting, and he tells her they can reinstate the slave contract — starting with cleaning his practice studio.
Rolling up her figurative sleeves, Kyu-won gets to work cleaning up the mess. She takes a break to pluck the strings of a guitar, sing-songing along, “Lee Shin dummy…” and snickering to herself.
He happens by just in time to catch that, of course, and she hastens to assure him that she was totally smiling because of this really hilarious story Bo-woon told her, not ’cause she likes being here or doing his cleaning or anything! He asks for that story, so Kyu-won thinks fast to come up with one — only he knows it already, and mocks her for her corny sense of humor. (It’s full of cheesy puns.)
He adds a warning that her singing needs work if she wants to beat Hee-joo for the role, which is just the thing to provoke her into practicing. Which, I’m sure, was just his intention.
Hee-joo overhears people talking about Ki-young out of the hospital, and tracks him down to the theater. The rumors say that Hee-joo hates him, but it seems the opposite is actually the case because she talks to him with friendly concern and prods him gently about getting past his stagefright.
Seok-hyun arrives at the theater, full of resolve to get Ki-young onstage again. He’s ready to let loose a barrage of pestering, but promises to quit when Ki-young climbs up to the stage of his own will.
He shows him a video clip he’d dug up, shot years ago of Ki-young in rehearsal, meant to remind him how happy performing made him. Watching himself onscreen, all full of youthful dreams, Ki-young reaches out a trembling hand, then grabs his crutches to approach the stage.
Shin waits for Yoon-su again that night, and she treats him even more coldly, trying to convince him that she’s not interested. Yeesh, boy. I understand that you’re persistent, but you have long since crossed that stalker line. It’s a good thing you’re so pretty that nobody would consider you stalker material…
Shin grabs her arm and challenges her to answer what age would make him an adult, then — 25? 30? He asserts that he’s an adult, and yells, “Look at me!”
That gets her yelling, too, and she tells him to leave her alone. “You’re not a man to me.” She stalks off angrily.
Crushed, Shin turns around…and sees Kyu-won standing there, watching. (Speaking of stalking…)
He walks right by her, ignoring her attempt to say something. Seeing him so hurt stirs pangs of sympathy in Kyu-won, and she loses herself in thought.
When Seok-hyun finds her there brooding, she hesitantly asks about his relationship to Yoon-su. Flashback time!
Back in their university days, Yoon-su was the untouchable ice princess beloved by many a male student, who were all too gutless to make their declarations of love. Only one guy had the nerve — Seok-hyun — to step up and declare himself. By and by he’d won her over, and they’d become a happy couple.
Seok-hyun drops Kyu-won off at home, and Grandpa naturally asks about Seok-hyun’s relationship with his granddaughter. Since her participation in the musical is a secret, she hurriedly explains that Seok-hyun is the director of the musical’s gukak section — to ingratiate him to Grandpa, no doubt — and the plan works a little too well, because Grandpa starts questioning him like he’s a prospective grandson-in-law. HA. He says he’s a little old, but all in all he’s better than that other punk (Shin). Hilarious.
Just one door over, who should be looking at a house for sale but Shin’s mother and sister? They’re upgrading from apartment living to a free-standing house, and OH MAN, I actually really like this plot turn. Shin and Kyu-won are going to be next-door neighbors? Sure it’s contrived as all get-out, but I LOVE it.
Her performance is enough to have Hee-joo looking over in alarm and the Bumbling Bitch Trio stuttering nervously that she’s not so great. Hee-joo needles her in the only way she can think of: to make a snipe about her bloated ramen face. Ha. Hee-joo has a way of revealing her greatest insecurities in her attempts to be cutting.
On the other hand, Shin’s back in a black mood after his crushing setdown. He broods, almost throwing the necklace aside in the grass, but stops himself at the last minute.
Ki-young arrives at school with a changed attitude, and it’s a lovely thing to see hope alive on his face again. He tells Seok-hyun that he wants to give it a try — and that even if he ends up messing up again and running away, it’ll be better than regretting giving up. Aw. These boys. I just love them as besties.
With him back, he takes the mic at a club show, singing the same song as above, and now the lyrics have extra meaning:
I was afraid
I’d lost my way
I couldn’t see ahead of me
I didn’t what tomorrow would bringI was scared
I just wanted to hide
I wanted to conceal myself
But today is differentNow I’ll stand
I’m going to sing again
I’ll forget yesterday
and sing for tomorrowTo cold days spent in empty rooms,
Goodbye
Overflowing and trusting in me,
My heart racesFor tomorrow
For my dream
I’ll run
Seok-hyun comes to see Yoon-su that night, and admits, “I think I still have feelings for you. I want to stop feeling jealous of other guys, pathetically.”
Startled, Yoon-su tries to shrug it off, even though his words bring tears to her eyes. He asks her to give their relationship another shot: “I love you, Yoon-su.”
Oh no, biker boy, walk away, walk awaaaaay! Shin arrives to take in the reunion — as does Kyu-won, who walks by a few moments later.
She stops Shin, trying at first to greet him cheerily, then dropping the act to ask, “Did you not know it would turn out this way?”
He picks up on her particular interest in his feelings, and asks her in turn, “Do you like me? Do you think that if you keep this up, I’ll like you instead of the professor?” He tells her in a steely tone that he doesn’t give the teeniest damn about who she likes, and tells her to do the same for him.

Heartstrings Episode 5 synopsis/summary/recap
So Lee Shin has just kissed Yoon Soo and greets her Happy Birthday. Kyu Won and Seok Hyun happens to be passing by and they both see. As soon as Shin leaves, Yoon Soo gets into her car and immediately takes of the necklace, saying “Ah! I’m crazy”. Kyu Won gets home and flops on the bed, thinking about what just happened. Meanwhile, Seok Hyun is in his house, talking to himself, saying, “This is the first time I’ve been jealous of a younger boy”. At the same time, Shin is the only one that is happy as he plays his guitar.
Seok Hyun goes to Yoon Soo’s house, but just as he is about to ring the bell, Yoon Soo calls him telling him that she is not feeling well. He pretends that he cannot come anyway so she doesn’t have to worry. Through the window, he can see Yoon Soo looking depressed.
Kyu Won is buy coffee and Yoon Soo comes in, also buying coffee. She offers to pay the coffee Kyu Won just ordered but Kyu Won says she can pay. Kyu Won goes to the roof but Shin isn’t there so she leaves it by the edge like last time. While Kyu Won is on the balcony, she sees Lee Shin walking and smiles. She then sees that he is walking towards Yoon Soo and becomes sad as she remembers him kissing her. Seok Hyun also sees Lee Shin talking with Yoon Soo who is asking Shin to talk with her.
The balcony
In Yoon Soo’s office, Yoon Soo tells Shin that the person she needs “is not a little kid kid living his dream, but a grown man” and gives back the necklace. After Shin asks whether she has never fallen in love with him, she says that not once did she waver. Before Shin leaves, he says “One more thing. I’m not a little kid”.
We then see Kyu Won playing the gayageum but she gets distracted as she thinks of Shin. As she is walking pass the roof top, she sees that the coffee she bought for Shin is still there. Meanwhile, Shin is in the band room, holding the necklace. Kyu Won suddenly comes in and says “Ya, Lee Shin! Who do you think you are?! Who gave you permission to play around with me just because I’m your slave?” Lee Shin looks at her and she says “If your not going to drink it today, I will never do your coffee chores again!” and storms out. Shin follows her then tells her “Whether I drink it or not is my business. You should just do what I order you to.” As Shin walks away, Kyu Won says “You like Professor Jung, don’t you?” He then tells her that she is not going to be his slave anymore. Shin walks away and tears can be seen in Kyu Won’s eyes.
Seok Hyun is his office with another person who is part organizing the performance. He is letting her listen to a song that he has composed and the lady says that Shin can do the guitar solo at the beginning of the song.
Everyone who is part of the music team for the play has gathered, even the Stupid – except Lee Shin is not there. They are waiting for him to arrive and Seok Hyun is getting a little annoyed. Shin walks in, apologizing that he is late. Seok Hyun then asks him, “Does a late person walk that slowly?”. Shin ignores him and together with his band, they beginning to play a song. As they play their song, everyone admires them, even Seok Hyun (but he doesn’t show it much). The lady asks what he though of it and he replies with, “It’s better than what I thought it would be“, but then he says “It doesn’t sound right. Especially the guitar” while looking at Shin. Shin as what exactly is wrong, but Seok Hyun can’t say anything specific. So Shin plays a mind blowing solo on his guitar and Seok Hyun is amazed (but of course, tries to hide it). After the rehearsal, Shin waits for Seok Hyun telling him that next, he should point something specific. Seok Hyun tells him not to be late and not to be so rude.
Next we see that Seok Hyun has taken Gi Yeong to the threatre and tells him that from now on, he is to stay in that theatre (to overcome his stage fright). Yoon Soo is in her office and Seok Hyun comes to visit her. The two grab a cup of coffee. As they talk, Seok Hyun notices that Yoon Soo isn’t wearing the necklace. They talk about Lee Shin liking her and she asks “Are you jealous?” to which Seok Hyun admits that he is.
While Kyu Won is with her friends, she tells that she is not Shin’s slave anymore, after Bo Woon ask whether her life is becoming difficult.
Shin is playing his guitar, then goes to the window, thinking about what Yoon Soo told him. Kyu Won passes by and wonders why he still hasn’t gone home. As Shin is on his way home, he passes the roof top and sees the coffee with a note on it. He goes to look at it and the note says “Are you trying to train a dog?”. He was going to just leave it there but ended up drinking it (which didn’t taste nice).
Kyu Won is waiting at the bus and Shin sees that she is starting to fall asleep. Kyu Won wakes up and sees that her bus is about to leave. When she gets on the bus, people start laughing at her and when she sits down, she realizes that there is a note stuck on her head. Shin comes home and his mom tells him that they are going to move into a traditional Korean house. He says that she can do whatever she wants and that he is fine wherever they live.
Kyu Won goes to the roof top and sees the coffee is still there. She gets angry as she thinks about him saying that she is not his slave anymore. She is about to throw it away, but as she picks it up, she notices that it is warm and finds a note which says “Traditional Music Major, Lee Kyu Won! I spat into this, lots!” She then takes out the other note and it says “Beware the stray dog! It’s ferocious!”
As she is walking on the balcony, she sees Lee Shin with his band mates. She is about to call him with a happy voice, but immediately composes her self and calls him with a cool voice. The band members leave Shin and Kyu Won alone. Kyu Won takes the note off the cup and scrunches it up, then throw it at him and it hits his head and finally sticks her tongue out. Shin smiles and walks off and Kyu Won has a big smile on her face. Tae Joon finds out that Gi Yeong is hurt and wants to visit him, but Sook Myoung tells him that Seok Hyun has taken him to the theatre.
In the next rehearsal, Seok Hyun wants Hee Joo and Kyu Won to sing so the main lead can be determined. Since Gi Yeong is not there, he asks Shin to take his place. Hee Joo starts, then Shin, then Kyu Won. Seok Hyun stops Kyu Won and tells her not to sing because she is told to but to sing with feelings. After rehearsal, Bo Woon says that she is hungry as they walk out and Joon Hee comes saying that he is also hungry. So Kyu Won’s friends and Shin’s friends leave them alone. Kyu Won tells Shin that she is sorry for her harsh words. Shin tells her that if she is really hungry, she should become his slave again and tells her to clean the band room.
When Kyu Won enters the room she is shocked at the state of it. She gets cleaning and as she finishes off, she sits in Shin’s seat and starts strumming his guitar while saying “Stupid Lee Shin~ Stupid Lee Shin~~ Stupid Lee Shin~~~”. She looks at the door with a happy face, but then sees that Shin is there. Shin tells her that it looks like her type of scene (that she is happy) and that she would be sad if he didn’t make her clean. She then says that she is laughing because of a joke Bo Woon told her, so he wants to hear it. She starts to tell it, but Shin cuts her off and finishes off the joke for her.
Lee Shin sees Kyu Won strumming the guitar
Hee Joo goes to the theatre after she over hears that Gi Yeong might be there. She tells him that there still aren’t any people who are as good as him. As Seok Hyun is sorting out his CD’s, he sees one with the label “Hyeon Gi Yeong” He goes to the theatre and shows the video to Gi Yeong. The video shows Gi Yeong when he was happy and Seok Hyun is with him. They are talking about performing in Broadway and how good it would be. Gi Yeong can be seen laughing as he jokes with Seok Hyun.
Gi Yeong is watching himself when he liked being on stage
Yoon Soo has come out of the dance studio and Shin is waiting for her. He offers to walk her to the parking lot, but she tells him that what he is doing is getting annoying. He grabs her hand and asks her how old he has to be to be a man. Kyu Won passes by in the distance and sees them. Shin pleads Yoon Soo to look at him as she tries to break free with Lee Shin’s grasp. Yoon Soo ends up shouting at Lee Shin as she tells him not to follow her and that to her, he isn’t a man. Shin sees Kyu Won, so Kyu Won looks away.
Kyu Won is on the balcony, thinking about what she just saw, when Seok Hyun comes. Kyu Won asks him what his relationship with Professor Jung is and we then see the younger Yoon Soo doing ballet. Seok Hyun and his friend (the guy who owns the place where The Stupid performs) are watching her as they hide behind the speakers. Seok Hyun tells his friend to leave but he doesn’t want to and so as they bicker, they fall on the floor and Yoon Soo sees them. (The flashback is the similar to how Joon Hee and Hee Joo are). Yoon Soo is having lunch while Seok Hyun just stares at her. We then see the two in a restaurant acting all lovely-dovely with Seok Hyun’s friend crying as he watches them from behind.
Back to reality, Seok Hyun’s friend is telling the story to Kyu Won’s and Shin’s friends in the bar. They ask him to continue to the story, but he says that they have to order something first, so Joon Hee asks for fruits. He continues the story by saying that Yoon Soo was like an ice princess who boy didn’t have the courage to confess – apart from Seok Hyun.
Kyu Won has fallen asleep in Seok Hyun’s car. Her phones rings and it is her grandpa. Seok Hyun takes Kyu Won home and Kyu Won’s grandpa asks what he does. Kyu Won pretends that he is a traditional musical director. After Seok Hyu leaves, her grandpa tells him that he is good for her unlike the other guy.
As Kyu Won and her grandpa go inside the house, Shin’s mom and sister comes out of a house next to then with a lady. Shin’s mom is planning to move there.
The wall on the left is Kyu Won's house
In school, Hee Joo, Shin and Kyu Won are asked to sing again. Kyu Won has improved her singin. Hee Joo is shocked while Seok Hyun is pleased.
Lee Shin is lying on the grass, holding the necklace. He is about to throw it, but then stops himself.
Seok Hyun goes to Sook Myoung and Sook Myoung shows him Gi Yeong, who is no longer in the theatre. Gi Yeong tells Seok Hyun that he want to try it. We then see Gi Yeong singing with The Stupid at the bar, showing his powerful singing voice. Meanwhile, Shin doesn’t look to happy.
Yoon Soo is in the dance studio and Seok Hyun comes in. Seok Hyun confesses that he still has feeling for her and asks to start over and hugs her. Shin happens to be passing by and sees them hugging. He walks away and Kyu Won sees him so she goes up to him. She offers to have a meal together, but he just tells her to move. Kyu Won then says,
“You didn’t know it would be like this? While you’re continuing your one sided love, she might love someone else?”
“You.. Do you like me?”
“What?”
“You’re doing this, so I would replace the professor with you… as the one I like?”
“Lee Shin..”
“Whoever you like or dislike. That’s something I don’t care about. So, you too, don’t mind me”
