i thought it would go up to 16th episodes but i was so shocked it ended up with only 12 episodes!i just buy a tape of it here in the Philippines and was so excited to watch…now im on episode 10! As what i read from the previous comment almost all of it was disappointed with the ending and for me im making some decision if ill continue watching it or not cos i just dont want to disappoint too like to the others. Just hoping for MONSTAR 2 soon!Please….
November 9th, 2013 at 10:16 pm
I think ending was nice……seung woo take out the cloth given by nana and he smile looking at mirror…this mean he start to like nana……..
and of course seol chan and se yi ended together…….it doesn’t matter who win bcuz it’s not about the loss or win..it’s about overcoming the pain they had in their heart thru music…………….

WILL THERE BE A SECOND SEASON?? It ended too quickly with a lot of hints at future conflicts, but they weren’t played out. Not to mention Sul Chan who hasn’t even confessed yet.

Like this drama! Very interesting!!!
December 11th, 2014 at 7:38 pm
One doubtI want to ask all fans here! This drama was since 2013 but y just broadcoast now on Channel M?! I wonder this so much! Anyone here can tell me y?!
January 17th, 2015 at 3:53 pm
Did the ending purposely to be like that??? Is there a second season???? I hope there will be since the ending leaves so many questions and unsettle issues…I love the love triangle so much but obviously we all know who’s the main female character wants to be with, hope they have another date and i’m curious on how is it going to be this time when they are already in the relationship. How will Yoon Sul Chan react when there will be another reporter to approach them. So excited to have the second season if there will be…Please do as second season, and the the next, and the next…..Good job guys, I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING this series…Keep up the good work…
