Song Kang’s piano rivalry drama is only two episodes in and already stirring up jealousy, mentorship drama, and unresolved tension between its leads. Here’s exactly when the next chapter arrives and what’s coming for Kang Pi-o and Choi Jeong-yo.
Four Hands, Two Sonatas– Release Date and Time
Episodes 3 and 4 of Four Hands, Two Sonatas premiere on Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, 2026, respectively. Both episodes air at 9:10 pm KST on tvN in South Korea, with TVING carrying them locally and Netflix making them available to international audiences the same day.
The series has kept a strong start so far — episode 1 pulled a nationwide rating of 3.391%, finishing first in its time slot among cable and general programming channels.
What to Expect in Episodes 3-4
Based on the official preview, Pi-o and Jeong-yo will keep rehearsing together for a joint performance assigned by their instructor Do Hyeon-soo. But things get complicated at home: Pi-o’s mother, Kang Ji-hye, learns that his father, Kang Seung-woon, has quietly asked to meet with Jeong-yo — without telling Pi-o. The secrecy catches Pi-o off guard and puts a strain on the closeness that had started building between the two boys.
When Jeong-yo finally plays for Seung-woon, he ignores the written score entirely, defending the choice by arguing Chopin himself would have approved of playing it that way. The unconventional performance grabs Seung-woon’s attention in a way Pi-o’s more disciplined playing hasn’t managed, and Seung-woon goes as far as encouraging Jeong-yo to try out for a concerto audition. Understandably stung, Pi-o turns cold toward Jeong-yo again — telling him he’s skipping the audition because he’d rather play a duet with him instead.

Why This Rivalry Hits Different
What makes this drama compelling isn’t just the music — it’s how competition and affection get tangled together. Pi-o isn’t just losing a spot to a rival; he’s watching his own father choose someone else, which adds a personal sting no concerto can fix.
