Beethoven Virus is about a misfit orchestra of random people brought together by their love for classical music. When the concertmistress Doo Roo-Mi (Lee Ji-Ah) finds that the orchestra is without a conductor, she hires Maestro Kang (Kim Myung-Min), an arrogant man with no patience for anyone less than perfect. Now Doo Roo-Mi must join forces with the genius trumpeter Kang Gun-Woo (Jang Geun-suk) to prove to Maestro Kang that their orchestra is special and worth leading.

Will this group of people be able to perform at the high level Maestro Kang expects? And will he finally overcome his prejudices and warm up to the people who have more than enough heart to perform? Along this journey of classical music, Maestro Kang won't be the only one to learn that both life and music is beautiful.

Two musicians who retired from their musical careers for different reasons join together with a demanding and difficult genius conductor to form an orchestra against all odds. Although it requires a lot of hard work to form their orchestra, they keep chasing their dreams of doing what they love the most in the world and this gives them great satisfaction. Three young and old people with different personalities and life experiences gather together under a common dream and they find love and the room to forgive each other as they eventually earn each other’s respect. The drama exudes a positive energy.

Kang “Ma-ae” Gun-woo / actor Kim Myung-min
Age: 42. Male. Maestro. Nickname is Ma-ae.

He is an elitist and never settles for second best. With an oversized ego, he has a righteous attitude and thinks he’s superior to everybody else. He does not like to socialize with people. He believes that you need talented players in order to give marvelous performances. Thus, he abhors players with mediocre talent and treats them with disdain. This is how he earned the nickname, “Orchestra Killer” and went on to become a legendary musical figure in Korea.





Durumi / actress E. Ji-ah
Age: 27. First violinist. Orchestra conductor

She is true to her inner desires and has a positive outlook on life. She never holds a grudge. With her pale white skin and long straight hair, she plays the violin while wearing a black silk dress with her eyes half-closed. The sight of her playing the violin is picturesque. However, she acts like a tomboy.





Kang Gun-woo / actor Jang Keun-suk
Age: 24. A genius conductor. Trumpet player

He shares the same name as conductor Kang Ma-ae. He’s straightforward, frank, cool and open. He’s a man of character. With a sharp logical mind, he will not tolerate illogical behavior. Underneath his strong character, he harbors an exquisite musical talent.
