Kinda miffed that this had to become a rags-to-riches story. So the poor mother had to be a chaebol heiress in disguise. They couldn't be just a happy couple struggling to make ends meet in post-recession Korea. It's amazing how some Korean series have to resort to this soap-opera trope of the disguised Cinderella. It's like if a person is exceptional, they must come from money, and go back to money eventually. Beethoven couldn't reincarnate in an ordinary family, now could he? This is a little insulting to the real one, whose family were commoners all the way back to their Dutch origins.

Heck, Beethoven tried to fool the Austro-Hungarian authorities into believing the "van" in his name was a mark of nobility like the German "von" (it isn't) just so he could sue his sister-in-law in a nobility court where he'd have a field advantage (yeah, Austro-Hungary had separate courts for nobles and commoners).
