It is his first time returning to Korea after 10 years, after a refusal to conduct a performance in front of the president and the general public due to believing that his orchestra was not good enough.
Though the tension is high and multiple times Maestro Kang was deciding to quit, he stayed till the end and led the local orchestra to do a nearly impossible performance.
The local members are outraged, but have to concede as Maestro Kang is hiring people for the orchestra, and this time with the true professionals whom standard are unquestionably higher.
At the drama's press conference prior to airing, Kim Myung-min, who plays the talented yet difficult maestro Kang, actually conducted Ennio Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe and Johannes Brahms' Hungarian Dances with a full orchestra in front of reporters and fans who came to the venue.
