Beethoven Virus is a 2008 South Korean television drama series that is broadcast by MBC. The series revolves around classical music and its impact on the characters. Beethoven Virus stars Kim Myung-min, Lee Ji-ah, Jang Keun-suk, Lee Soon-jae, Hyun Jyu-ni, Song Ok-sook, Park Cheol-min, Lee Han-wi, Lee Bong-gyoo, Jeong Seok-yong, and Park Gil-su.

The story begins with Kang Gun-woo (Kim Myung-min), a renowned conductor and former pianist, who is tasked with taking over the struggling orchestra in La Corda. Kang is a perfectionist and expects the best from his musicians, but forces collide as he clashes with the orchestra's members and his assistant conductor, Du Ru-mi (Lee Ji-ah). Du is a former student of Kang's and, like him, believes in the importance of achieving musical excellence, but approaches music with a less rigid philosophy.

Meanwhile, the orchestra must prepare for the upcoming World Classical Music Festival, where they will compete with the best orchestras from around the world. As they prepare for the competition, Kang and Du must navigate the complex relationships and politics within the orchestra, while dealing with personal issues and romantic tensions.

Adding to the drama is the arrival of Ha Yi-deun (Jang Keun-suk), a talented, but seemingly reckless trumpet player who Kang sees as a potential threat to the orchestra's success. Despite their initial clashes, Kang grudgingly accepts Ha into the orchestra, impressed by his talent and passion for music. As the competition draws closer, the orchestra must overcome their differences and unite to achieve success.

As the series progresses, Beethoven Virus also delves into the personal lives of its characters, exploring their struggles, triumphs, and relationships. From the budding romance between Kang and Du, to the complicated family dynamics of some of the orchestra's members, the series offers an intimate look at the lives of those involved in classical music.

Beethoven Virus is noteworthy for its impressive performances and musical numbers. The series features an array of classical music pieces, performed by the actors themselves or by a professional orchestra. Kim Myung-min, in particular, delivers a standout performance as the intense and driven conductor Kang.

In addition to the music, Beethoven Virus also explores themes such as perseverance, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. Through the orchestra's struggles and successes, the series emphasizes the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving one's goals.

Overall, Beethoven Virus is a captivating and emotionally charged series that will appeal to fans of classical music and drama. With its talented cast, beautiful music, and compelling storyline, the series is a must-watch for anyone looking for a nuanced and engaging portrayal of the world of classical music.

Beethoven Virus is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (19 episodes). The series first aired on September 29, 2009.
