'Four Hands, Two Sonatas' ratings surge to 7.9% as Song Kang faces tragic past

tvN's 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas,' which premiered with a 3.4% viewership rating, has soared to 7.9%. At the center of this upward trend is the tragic past shared by the two pianists played by Song Kang and Lee Jun Young. A key point of interest is the choice Song Kang will make after discovering that the person who ruined his friend's life was his own mother.

In the 9th episode of 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas,' airing on the 26th at 9:10 PM, Kang Bi O (Song Kang) and Choi Jeong Yo (Lee Jun Young) appear together at a symphony event to prepare for an additional performance. The two stand before reporters at the official event, reuniting on stage once again.

However, behind their collaboration lies a tragedy that occurred nine years ago. During a kidnapping incident at that time, Choi suffered a shooting accident, leading him to give up his dream of being a pianist and transition into becoming a conductor. Kang Bi O has been tracking his whereabouts for a long time and has approached the truth of the incident through his Czech partner, Vogel (Ko Chang Seok).

The real shock came next: the person who instigated the kidnapping was none other than his own mother, Kang Ji Hye (Yoon Se Ah). The fact that his precious friend, who taught him the joy of piano, lost a lifelong dream due to his mother's crime has left Kang Bi O with an indelible sense of guilt.

Despite this, Kang Bi O did not avoid Choi. Instead, carrying that guilt, he decided to stand on stage with him again. Curiosity is growing as to whether this is a simple musical collaboration or a choice to face the wounds of the past head-on. In particular, attention is focused on the possibility that another truth may be revealed during the performance the two are preparing together.

The rising viewership ratings for 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas' are also notable. After starting at 3.4% on the 29th of last month, the series has risen steadily, recording 7.9% for the 8th episode aired on the 20th. The rating has more than doubled in just a few weeks. As the tragic past and plot twists surface, viewer immersion in the series is intensifying.

Ultimately, the core question for the broadcast on the 26th is this: why does a man, upon learning that the culprit who ruined his friend's life is his own mother, seek to stand on the same stage with the victim? Attention is focused on how the 'Four Hands' that Kang Bi O and Choi Jeong Yo face will shake their ill-fated relationship beyond a simple duet.
