Great psychological music drama

Well, I'm so into psychological dramas, like it's literally my thing. But I started watching Four Hands Two Sonatas just for the music, then I found out from the very beginning that there's a whole psychological plot as well: childhood trauma, emotional abuse, heavy depression… and the way it's all connected to music & how it reflects the artists' lives.

Two promising young pianists from completely different worlds, yet with so many similarities when it comes to their painful childhoods & their ambitions. Kang Pio, the traumatized wealthy boy, and Choi Jeongyu, the poor boy who's considered a miracle pianist. Except Pio's suffering never really stopped.

After all the conflicts between them, Jeongyu gets hurt by Pio's mother and disappears for 9 years. Throughout those 9 years, Pio was living in hell. His soul was full of guilt, nightmares & endless psychiatrist visits. He kept looking for Jeongyu, and even though he achieved huge success as a pianist during those years, he was never truly happy.

Then Jeongyu comes back seeking revenge, especially against Pio, whom he believes was responsible. Pio eventually finds out what his mother did to Jeongyu, but when she threatens to kill herself, he can't do anything except take all the blame upon himself.

Jeongyu, who's already suffering so much and has lost his ability to play piano because of what happened years ago, begins his revenge by abusing Pio, trying to break him both emotionally & physically, while also destroying his reputation and career.

And Pio, who's been suffering his entire life, keeps getting worse. He becomes almost soulless, lifeless, barely able to breathe. He keeps getting dragged deeper into the revenge, keeps getting hurt, and still takes all the blame. Now he's showing every possible sign of completely collapsing. He's walking across bridges, staring deeply into the sea like he's contemplating suicide. At this point, it's either suicide or complete self-destruction.

We still have two episodes left and I'm excited as hell… but I'm honestly scared for Pio. Even Jeongyu will eventually break when he learns the truth—that Pio was innocent, just another victim like him. And then it'll be Jeongyu's turn to carry all that unbearable guilt Pio has been carrying for so many years.

They're both victims, Pio & Jeongyu, but that doesn't justify Jeongyu's brutal actions towards Pio. 💔

At this point, I'm honestly rooting for a tragic ending…
sorry, but my heart aches for Kang Pio. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹😞
