in ep3, when jeong-yo is back to his dorm room after the noblesse concert, he starts composing a piece. later when pio is living with him in that room he catches a glimpse of it but jeong-yo doesn't let him see it properly. we all thought the show would come back to that piece in some way and it looks like it's happening now

people are also pointing out that pio's quote is written in a straight line because of his discipline and his strict interpretation of a score, while jeong-yo's is slightly irregular and the words go up and down a little because his music is more carefree and unconventional! the amount of details in this drama is just *chef's kiss*

guys have you seen the new poster for ep9 ? it seems our theories about jeong-yo asking pio to play that self-composed piece from their teenage years is coming true ! the quotes on it are :
1. what is this tempo inside your head ? (supposedly pio's line)
2. why do you play every single phrase so beautifully ? (supposedly jeong-yo'sline)

omg i'm so excited !

binge it later, or maybe start it next week as you'll be right on time for when the final episodes air

i'm with you on this one. i hope hyun-soo being revealed as jeong-yo's father is as far as they will go with the birth secret trope because them being siblings would be too makjang imo. the writing has been so good up till now, so carefully and beautifully crafted that the subtext we're reading into it has to be intentional and not just our mere imagination

i'm leaning towards plot hole and just writing things that are convenient to make the events move forward because if it turns out to be orchestrated by jeong-yo, what kind of power did he hold at any point during those 9 years to pull this off? unless it's someone else behind it which would be even more convoluted tbh

fam how are we holding up ?

could this be junyoung's fave scene from ep12? i keep wondering about it 😅

it's sad that jeongyo is literally the only person who ever gives pio constructive feedback while everyone else is either singing praises (jaein) or degrading him without elaborating or trying to help him improve creatively (the grandfather). literally two minutes from meeting for the first time at 17, jeongyo asks pio why he played the cadenza the way he did and if it was on purpose. he was curious and ready to have a conversation about it without judgement. in contrast, even jaein who likes him the most, can't give him that. even the teacher whose literal job and role is to guide and help told him off at first saying he had nothing to teach him. pio was literally begging people to tell him what he was lacking and no one could give him that. only jeongyo treated him equally and as a real partner!

they took so much from him, they should give him this back at least. i mean he's still excellent as a conductor but it's not the same. piano is deeply wooven to his mother's memory and love as well as the brief happy times he shared with pio. giving that up willingly is not the same as having it taken away from him which hurt him the most. he said it was hell in ep7 and i felt his pain

right? it would be a satisfying way to end this show and give these tortured characters closure

i am here to bring healing (and positivity lol) there's this really beautiful theory by some kfans (i will put the link at the end). so it goes like this : leon fleisher is a pianist who turned conductor because of a handicap in his hand. years after, he got proper treatment and was able to play piano again. and guess what? his comeback album is titled two hands! but what is our show called? four hands! because jeong-yo will get treated and his comeback will be with pio and it will be four hands, how beautiful would that be? 😭 (source https://x.com/yoolkon/status/2102693081061654568?s=20)

you're saying none of what happened between them matters or can be interpreted as romance just because there's no jealousy? is that the most defining trait of romantic feelings? i'm sorry but this is funny because it's weak imo, and even then ep8 subtly played on that because pio did look and act jealous. so again, what is lacking here for a romantic reading of their relationship to be considred valid amongst other interpretations?

genuinely curious, what does it lack in your eyes to qualify as (b)romance?

was it last wednesday or thursday that tvn gave us the prereleased clip of masked pio going to that practice room in disguise trying to overcome his slump? i didn't pay attention before so i'm not sure but if it's something they do every week then it means we'll get new material soon

that would be worse than k.will's please don't mv lmao

the broadcast version altered some parts so it's a little different from the original script but it's easy to recognize which scene because we already saw it. also this has nothing to do with some people wanting it to be bl, it's quite common to reveal the original script for many dramas regardless of its genre, it's the usual marketing strategy, the same as selling merch and related products

it is legit, they're gonna sell the original script after the drama ends and they're now opening preorders so they're releasing these snippets as a way of teasing the book. i'm confused which part made you think it's from the ending? all the posts i saw are from episodes we already saw

rewatching only the first 4 episodes and pretending nothing bad happens 🙂

we're not going back to that. it was that pianist girl and that's all. it was there to show what rivalry and competetiveness might make people do. the incident sent pio spiralling even more but he already was in a weak mental state. i don't think it's part of any plan, just a coincidence that made things worse
