Some final projects feel like a farewell. This one feels like a statement. Before heading off for military enlistment, Lee Jun Young is closing this chapter of his career with “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” — and he’s opening up about why this particular story mattered enough to be his send-off.
The drama follows aspiring pianists at an arts high school as friendship, rivalry, and first love collide against the backdrop of classical music. Lee Jun Young plays Choi Jeong Yo, a once-brilliant pianist forced to abandon his dream young after becoming his family’s sole breadwinner. It’s a heavy role — and clearly one he didn’t take lightly.
Lee Jun Young: The Role & The Reasoning
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Character | Choi Jeong Yo — a gifted pianist who gave up music |
| Keyword | “Freedom” — resisting life within a set mold |
| Why He Chose It | Wanted to act with peers his age before enlisting |
| Prep Work | Discovered classical music while building the role |
| Premiere | August 29, 9:10 p.m. KST |
What stands out most is his honesty about preparation. He’d barely explored classical music before this role, but immersing himself in it changed how he understood emotional depth on screen. That kind of genuine curiosity tends to show up in performances — audiences usually notice when an actor isn’t just going through motions.
His hope for Choi Jeong Yo is simple but ambitious: to prove he’s not a one-note actor (pun intended). Coming off dramas with far more seasoned co-stars, this project seems designed to show range before he steps away from acting for a while.
