"Beethoven Virus," a popular South Korean TV drama that aired last year, received a special award for foreign programs at the International Drama Festival in Tokyo, according to the event's Web site Tuesday.
The South Korean series will be screened Tuesday with China's "Ma Wen's War," India's "Balika Vadhu - Child Bride" and "The Unbreakable Bond," which also received the award for foreign dramas.
"Beethoven Virus" was praised at home for successfully dramatizing an unusual subject, classical music, casting it in the eyes of an internationally famed conductor who attempts to salvage a local orchestra.
Established in 2007, the third Tokyo drama fest awarded its Grand Prize to Nippon Television Network's "AISHITERU - KAIYO" starring Izumi Inamori and Yuka Itaya.

Reread the article before leaving your acrimonious comments. And don't involve PK in this one- he's nowhere to be seen.
