Lee Jun-young plays Choi Jeong-yo, a scholarship student and musical prodigy who worries more about keeping his alcoholic stepdad safe from loan sharks than finishing first in prestigious contests. ## Prague Competition Conflict After years of cruel dismissal from his grandfather and relentless pressure from his mother, Pi-o doubts his talent and begs Jeong-yo to compete in the Prague Harmonie International Competition. ## Jeong-yo's Abduction Ji-hye hires two men to abduct Jeong-yo to ensure he cannot compete, but the abduction goes wrong and Jeong-yo is shot in his attempt to escape. ## Nine-Year Time Jump Nine years later, Pi-o is an internationally renowned solo pianist who hires a private investigator to search for Jeong-yo, but the man who abducted him is killed before revealing the truth. ## Jeong-yo's Return Pi-o sees Jeong-yo on stage in Brno, who claims to have amnesia and cannot remember anything prior to an accident nine years earlier. ## Jeong-yo's Revenge Plan Jeong-yo, who can no longer play piano due to nerve damage, wants to work with Pi-o but becomes increasingly cruel and emotionally abusive toward him as he pushes Pi-o to practice 'Nemesis' past mental and physical exhaustion. ## Pi-o's Confession Pi-o confesses to the audience that he was responsible for Jeong-yo's abduction, leading to his arrest for the crime. ## Ji-hye's Punishment Ji-hye is sent to jail after Pi-o's private investigator provides a recording that proves she was behind Jeong-yo's abduction. ## Grandfather's Death Pi-o's grandfather dies from a heart condition shortly after Ji-hye is jailed, and Pi-o plays 'Moonlight Sonata' for him to finally win his approval. ## Jeong-yo's Piano Recovery Jeong-yo buys Pi-o's piano and brings it to the market where he learned to play, claiming he has regained control of his hand and can play again. ## Final Four Hands Performance Pi-o and Jeong-yo play four hands together by the Han River, but Jeong-yo later disappears to dedicate his music to comforting others. ## Jeong-yo's True Motivation Jeong-yo had been using a shot to temporarily regain hand function but at the risk of losing all function forever, so he lied to Pi-o about being able to play again. ## The Happy Ending Pi-o finds Jeong-yo conducting a choir of children in a church, where they lock eyes and smile, ending the series with peace and understanding. ## Art's Purpose in Society The drama argues that art should be made by flawed humans, and the measure of a performance is how it makes performers and audiences feel, not technical perfection. ## BL Drama Interpretation The drama's relationship between Pi-o and Jeong-yo is left open for interpretation, with producers stating it belongs to viewers' diverse perspectives. ## Key takeaway Pi-o and Jeong-yo reconcile after years of separation, with Jeong-yo using music to comfort others.
