I love high school teen dramas. May be because what happens there cannot happen in real school life (or may be it can but not here in India……at least did not happen when I was in high school…….don’t know about now)

Ok, so Monstar is about some teenagers, who try to repair the bonds with people around them, severed through time, due to one different situation or other, and find solace, through music and new found friendship (Phew! That was long!). The story basically goes like this – Yoon Seol Chan (Yong Jun Hyung) is part of an idol group Men In Black. Due to some rumors and a big scandal, the president of his company asks him to become an ideal student in his school in three months and then return back to the industry. Now everyday is a new challenge for him amidst his mad fangirls, his old friend, now a rival Jung Sun Woo and a new transfer student Min Se Yi (Ha Yeon Soo). Se Yi has come from New Zealand after having a fight with her mother. Now she is living with her homeroom teacher in her own house. Her father was a singer when alive and she has inherited great voice and guitar skills from him. Sun Woo (Kang Ha Neul) is their class president and plays cello in school orchestra, All in One. He has been classmate with Se Yi before she went to New Zealand.  Then there are other four students – a bully, a bullied, a delinquent and a diehard fan of Seol Chan, all of who have had difficult pasts. These seven students have to come together to perform for school due to some circumstances. Will they succeed in their performance regardless of their sad memories with each other and who will Se Yi end up with, that the end will tell.

What I know is that the series has finished halfway through. Six episodes out of twelve have already aired. The first three episodes were good. The story was progressing fast. But now it has kind of come to a standstill. They haven’t even started practicing, when will they form a proper band? Irrespective of what I feel and what I hear (I mean read on the forums), I can’t wait for next episode. That chemistry between Se Yi and Sun Woo, that way in which Sun Woo makes fun of Seol Chan, that jealous face of Seol Chan, those serious jokes of innocent and totally clueless Se Yi which even I take seriously, those girl group  dances of the bullied guy, that awesome beat boxing of the bully guy, that one reactionless dialogue of the delinquent girl “Shut Up” and the fanfic that diehard fan writes in her mind, added with petty fights between teachers and the reactions of Seol Chan’s manager and president of his company, all just make you forget every lacking point about the series. The songs they have used, add cherry (or whatever you like on yours) to the cake.

And what do I get to learn from the series? Music has power to heal anything but that is already a world known fact and true for me too!
