🎹 Plot
Kang Bi-o is a perfectionist pianist who always ranks first. At his school, the Korea National Arts High School, a transfer student arrives: Choi Jeong-yeo, another genius who has kept his distance from music because of a harsh past. They acknowledge each other's talent while fiercely rivaling each other, and become partners at "four hands" — two people playing one piano. With viola player Hong Jae-in joining them, they search for their own music amid friendship, love and fierce competition.
The director previously made season 2 of Stranger (Secret Forest). The beauty of the four-hand classical music and the psychological games behind it are the highlights.
