yes pio's signature is excellent technique which is also a talent he honed with discipline and constant work, but i also understand the criticism of his playing. music is art and art is about creativity and the ability to evoke feelings and playing strictly by the book doesn't always achieve that. i don't think pio lacks the ability, he just wasn't given the freedom to explore what with his mother constantly hovering over him and pushing him into one competition after another. that's why finding jeongyo who's carefree and unbothered by all those calculations helped him find his voice so adult pio doesn't struggle with that anymore even if he's not on the same level as a born genius like jeongyo

it's obviously a fanfic, but this reminds me of speculations in the korean side of fandom that pio wrote something back to jeongyo on the same paper jeongyo left inside the music sheet he gave pio. they're saying it might be what caused that one scene of jeongyo crying that we haven't seen yet after he probably finds the letter and reads it. we'll have to wait and see

ngl that was pathetic, girl is lying to herself and being delusional it's actually sad. i think she knows the truth deep down but she's in denial and pio is to blame too with his attitude, he needs to be fair with her because she doesn't deserve this, if only for the sake of their years long friendship

welcome to the club

right? i now understand why song kang said he couldn't stop thinking about it from the moment he read it even as he was still serving and despite receiving many other scripts, it's that captivating

yes! imagine how happy the writer must be to see their vision so vividly brought to life. i will never forget these characters and i'm grateful to junyoung and song kang for their beautiful performance

jeongyo found himself abandoned and completely on hiw own, there was no choice other than maturing and relying on himself. pio is still trapped mentally, even physically if you think about it, the classical music industry is a rather small circle and his toxic family is too involved in it so he can't exactly distance himself from them so yeah in a way pio is still that emotionally abused child who still can't free himself. i command junyoung and song kang for the accurate portrayal of this diiference in growth, it shows clearly and it's intentional

it will be a happy ending #trust

not for too long by the looks of it, he's already hanging by a very thin thread

i don't think he will but it's true that he looks so weak and fragile both mentally and physically, it feels like anything could be his last straw

for real! i don't remember the last time i hated a character this much

rooting for a happy ending, these boys need healing and to find peace

we have new snippets from the original script and it's so poetic and beautiful. i don't think that's how one would write about half brothers

someone who's not watching the show would read this comment and think pio shot jeongyo himself

well he also directed a bunch of other dramas that don't all end tragically so that doesn't say much tbh. we could instead look at the scriptwriter as they are the one who actually dictates how the story goes

i keep thinking about it and in my opinion the revelation that pio's mom was behind the kidnapping isn't there to shock us as viewers. almost all of us (pio included) suspected her so this only comes as a confirmation. i believe it's there to narratively serve the purpose of adding yet another layer to pio's guilt and make him sink further. whether jeongyo already knew about it or not, it's playing perfectly in favor of his revenge. just when things started looking slightly up for pio, here comes the truth to break him once again. funnily (it's not, i actually wanna eat glass at this) this means pio is even more broken now, to the point jeongyo won't even need any elaborate plan because if he asked pio to break his own fingers pio would probably do it unquestionably because he thinks he deserves it

tomorrow is monday and there's no new episode until another week, this is the worst feeling 😭

i volunteer

i think black out with byun yohan is a good show in this genre

i hate this possibility but there is still a chance they are. we'll have to wait and see if/when they reveal that
