Meet the Cast: Three Leading Talents
Song Kang plays piano prodigy Kang Bi Oh, a perfectionist with classy looks who never misses the top spot in both grades and piano skills. Despite his innate talent, he possesses the diligence to never slack off in practice.
Lee Jun Young takes on the rival role — Choi Jeong Yo, a fellow piano genius whose harsh upbringing has made him spend his life turning away from his own talent. When he suddenly appears at Korea Arts High School, he reconnects with the prodigy who greatly influenced him.
Jang Gyuri plays Hong Jae In, a viola major with exceptionally sensitive hearing. Gifted with outstanding musical instincts, she searches for music that truly satisfies her ears — and Kang Bi Oh’s music is the one constant.
| Lead Actor | Character | Role |

| Song Kang | Kang Bi Oh | Perfectionist piano prodigy |
| Lee Jun Young | Choi Jeong Yo | Talented rival with emotional baggage |
| Jang Gyuri | Hong Jae In | Viola major with sensitive hearing |
How Did They Prepare?
This is where the magic happens. In the accompanying script reading video, the cast members shared their preparation process, which included taking piano lessons, listening to classical pieces, and mentally studying performance styles and “image-making” for their roles.
It’s the kind of commitment that transforms an actor into a character — something classical music itself demands. These aren’t cosmetic details either; when you’re portraying musicians, the authenticity matters.
