Actor Lee Jun-young captivated viewers with his acting in the drama 'Four Hands,' portraying a character who straddles good and evil.

In episodes 9 and 10 of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Four Hands,' broadcast on September 26 and 27, Choi Jeong-yo (played by Lee Jun-young) reveals his hidden desire for revenge and engages in a tense standoff with Kang Bi-o (played by Song Kang).

Choi Jeong-yo proposed that Kang Bi-o take the soloist position for his premiere piece. While outwardly appearing to comfort Kang's wounds and guide him back onto the stage, the atmosphere instantly reversed the moment they entered the practice room. Choi Jeong-yo unleashed harsh criticism and scathing remarks on Kang Bi-o's playing, pushing him to his limits. The intentional pressure was so intense that even Hong Jae-in (played by Jang Gyu-ri), who watched from the sidelines, began to question what was happening, causing cracks to form in the relationship between the three.

The conflict erupted when Choi Jeong-yo admitted he had been feigning amnesia. When Kang Bi-o demanded to know how he remembered their past practice sessions, Choi Jeong-yo appeared momentarily shaken before his eyes turned cold, revealing his true nature. Lee Jun-young naturally transitioned from a wavering gaze to one filled with vengeance, instantly flipping the tone of the drama.

Choi Jeong-yo further tormented Kang Bi-o by forcing him to channel the terror of death and betrayal he had experienced directly into his performance. Ultimately, when Kang Bi-o could not continue playing during the album recording session, Choi publicly declared a change in duet partners and clashed violently with an enraged Kang Bi-o.

Even at the moment he was grabbed by the collar, Lee Jun-young drew attention to Choi Jeong-yo's chilling transformation through his steady gaze and faint smile.

However, even after bringing down Kang Bi-o, Choi Jeong-yo could not fully smile. Listening to the flawless performance of a new pianist without satisfaction, he was left alone recalling Kang Bi-o's playing, revealing a lingering attachment and emptiness that cannot be explained by hatred alone. Lee Jun-young portrayed the complex psychology of Choi Jeong-yo, who could not let go of hope in one corner of his heart despite his anger and resentment toward Kang Bi-o, utilizing everything from his sharply rigid facial features to the subtle movements of his facial muscles.

Lee Jun-young led the drama by shifting broadly between a calm yet ruthless pressure on his opponent, the anger accumulated over nine years, and the loneliness that followed revenge. As the broadcast drew to a close, with Kang Bi-o once again requesting an opportunity to perform, anticipation builds for what choice Choi Jeong-yo will make as he stands between revenge and music.

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