What's the Story?
In SOUNDTRACK #2, Do Hyun-seo (Keum Sae-Rok, Believer) has racked up trophies as a top piano player among her peers in Seoul. Now, in her 20's, Hyun-seo is trying to keep her piano studio alive, while making ends meet by delivering food. Meanwhile, Ji Suho (Steve Sanghyun Noh, Pachinko) has suffered a career setback which finds him with extra time on his hands. Their paths have crossed before. Will fate help them find each other again?
Is It Any Good?
Snappier and more charming than its predecessor, this K-Drama sequel takes the main characters' more seriously lives than Soundtrack #1. Burnout and mental wellness give fine actors something substantive to chew on in Soundtrack #2.
The chemistry between actors, the show's pacing, and the bouncy dialogue will intrigue families of tweens who like romantic K-Dramas. A solid sequel effort.
