Beethoven Virus

베토벤 바이러스

Kang Gun Woo, a renowned orchestra conductor, is revered for his talent but notorious for his difficult temperament. He demands perfection from his orchestra, earning him a reputation as a professional who accepts nothing less. His egocentrism makes it hard for him to connect with others, both in and out of the workplace. A cold and solitary man, his only companion is his dog, Beethoven. After years abroad, he returns to his homeland to lead the orchestra of a small city. There, he meets violinist Du Ru Mi and a young trumpeter also named Kang Gun Woo, and his life takes an unexpected turn.
