With Song Kang and Lee Jun-young from "Four Hands" finally appearing on the same stage, the drama has once again shattered its own viewership record.

In the eighth episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Four Hands," scripted by Shin Yi-won and directed by Park Hyun-seok, which aired on the 20th, pianist Kang Bi-o (played by Song Kang), who was guided onto the stage by Choi Jung-yo (played by Lee Jun-young) nine years ago to overcome his stage fright, is now saved from a slump by Choi Jung-yo, delivering a special resonance.

According to viewership research company Nielsen Korea, the eighth episode recorded an average of 7.9% nationwide and a peak of 9%, with an average of 7.5% in the Seoul metropolitan area and a peak of 8.8%, setting a new self-record high for viewership. It also ranked first in its time slot across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, both nationwide and in the Seoul metropolitan area. Nationwide, it maintained the number one spot in its time slot among cable and general entertainment channels for eight consecutive episodes. In terms of the 20-49 male and female target demographic on tvN, it also ranked first in its time slot across all cable and general entertainment channels both nationwide and in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Choi Jung-yo, who became a guest conductor with the Korean Symphony, persistently persuaded Kang Bi-o to make their collaboration happen. Moved by Kang Bi-o's recollection of advice he once gave to Choi Jung-yo, Kang Bi-o was swayed by Choi Jung-yo's words that slumps cannot be solved by avoidance.

However, Choi Jung-yo had another motive in mind. He appeared to be preparing revenge against those who put him in danger by pretending to have lost his memory. In particular, he displayed an attitude suggesting he already knew the mastermind behind the incident, heightening the tension.

Ultimately, Kang Bi-o accepted the collaboration, changed his practice environment, and started from scratch, but he continued to suffer from the fear of performing in front of people. To this end, Choi Jung-yo advised him to play music for himself, saying, "The first audience is yourself."

Kang Bi-o recalled memories of playing the piano with Choi Jung-yo during his school days, rediscovered the joy of music he had forgotten, and successfully completed a successful collaboration by safely finishing both orchestra rehearsals and the actual performance.

However, immediately after the concert, Kang Bi-o faced a shocking truth. Vogel, who was tracking down the mastermind behind Choi Jung-yo's kidnapping case, sent a photo showing Kang Bi-o's mother, Kang Ji-hye, together with the kidnapper. As it was revealed that Kang Ji-hye was the mastermind behind the kidnapping incident that upended Choi Jung-yo's life, curiosity grew about what choice Kang Bi-o would make.

Meanwhile, "Four Hands" airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
