Disney+ invites us to tune into Soundtrack #2, the second part of its music-themed romantic drama anthology.

Soundtrack #1 director Kim Hee-won (better known for Vincenzo and Little Women) returns, this time co-directing with Choi Jung-kyu (The Devil Judge), but otherwise the key creatives and cast are completely different for this fresh story.

After the star voltage of Han So-hee and Park Hyung-sik (of the boy band ZE:A) helped to launch the anthology in its first season, this time the leads are rising actors Keum Sae-rok (The Interest of Love and Youth of May), and Noh Sang-hyun (aka Steve Noh), best known for playing Baek Isak in Apple TV+’s Pachinko adaptation.

Keum and Noh play pianist Do Hyeon-seo and online media entrepreneur Ji Su-ho. Four years ago, when Hyeon-seo was a brilliant student and Su-ho was a struggling youth working as a delivery man, the pair dated but their relationship came to an end because of their different priorities.
