Actor Lee Jun-young perfectly transformed into a pianist in the drama 'Four Hands', showing a presence that made his role in 'Gangbaegi' seem insignificant.

In the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Four Hands', which aired on the 29th and 30, Lee Jun-young portrayed Choi Jeong-yo, a piano prodigy, captivating viewers with a storyline of reuniting with Kang Bi-o after seven years. Lee Jun-young had previously enlisted as an active-duty soldier in the Army on July 21 to fulfill his military service obligations.

Choi Jeong-yo received the grand prize at a junior competition during his childhood but grew distant from piano while shouldering family responsibilities in place of his father. In previous episodes, after reuniting with Kang Bi-o (played by Song Kang), Choi Jeong-yo transferred to a new school with the help of Yoon Seon-ju (played by Seo Jae-hee) and eventually became 'Four Hands' partners with Kang Bi-o despite conflicts with classmates arising from environmental differences.

Choi Jeong-yo confessed to having stage fright, facing past wounds while performing Saint-Saëns' 'Danse Macabre' in a small auditorium lit only by candles. His scene joining Kang Bi-o for outdoor busking and earning audience applause also drew attention.

Lee Jun-young portrayed Choi Jeong-yo oscillating between an outwardly hostile demeanor with thorns raised toward the world and moments of precarious vulnerability when left alone. In scenes facing the stage, he revealed fear through a stiff expression, trembling eyes, and rapid breathing, while showing the character's transformation into deep musical immersion at the keyboard.

'Four Hands' is a work depicting two musicians sitting side by side before a single piano, completing one piece of music with four hands together. It tells the story of Kang Bi-o and Choi Jeong-yo, who first met in a competition during their childhood, reuniting after seven years to become partners. The drama follows how these two people, who have lived different lives, face their wounds and grow through music.

'Four Hands,' starring Lee Jun-young, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
