Upcoming drama “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” has unveiled new stills featuring Lee Jun Young!

“Four Hands” is a piano term referring to a technique in which two people play a single piano together. The drama “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” will portray the friendship, love, rivalry and development of young people who meet at an arts high school, following their journey from adolescence to adulthood as professional pianists.

Lee Jun Young plays Choi Jung Yo, a tragic genius pianist. He is a character with exceptional musical talent who gave up the piano when faced with the harsh realities of life. After losing his mother at a young age, he became the sole carer for his alcoholic father, becoming the breadwinner of his family while still a child. Although he loved the piano more than anyone, he spent his life clinging to a dream he felt he had to keep far from himself.

Having endured life’s hardships from an early age, Choi Jung Yo is someone who confronts challenges head-on, living a life in which he was not even given the time to hesitate. Rather than being bound by others’ opinions or rules, he lives on his own terms and is known at school as a free-spirited student.

However, his daily life undergoes a transformation after he meets Kang Bi Oh (Song Kang), a pianist his age. After seeing Kang Bi Oh’s performance by chance, his long-suppressed passion for the piano is reignited. He enrols at Korea Arts High School as a transfer student and forms a new bond with Kang Bi Oh as a classmate.

The student record of Choi Jung Yo also includes details that offer a glimpse into his personality. Although he maintains an indifferent expression in the classroom and counselling room, he shows a faint smile only when he is in front of the piano, hinting at his genuine passion for music.

The student record also includes evaluations such as, “Although he has never received formal training, his sense and skills are exceptional,” and, “He is expected to become a student who brings a new wave of change to the piano department,” hinting at how his sudden arrival will transform the school.
