Geum Sae-rok’s unexpected reunion in Soundtrack #2

by solstices

Another teaser is out for the Disney+ original Soundtrack #2, the second installment in the Soundtrack series. If last year’s Soundtrack #1 was about romance blossoming from friendship, then this year’s tale features ex-lovers brought back together by coincidence and given a second chance at rekindling their feelings.

Geum Sae-rok (The Interest of Love) stars as the musically-inclined Do Hyun-seo, whose circumstances left her with no choice but to quell her lofty dreams of pursuing music. Instead, she sustains her love for music by making a humble living as a piano tutor — which inadvertently brings her face to face with someone she’d least expected to see again.

That person is her ex-boyfriend Ji Soo-ho, played by Noh Sang-hyun (Behind Every Star). Once college sweethearts, they’d put an end to their six-year relationship and gone their separate ways. That is, until she arrives at the luxurious penthouse of her newest student and realizes she’s been hired by her old flame.

Naturally, Hyun-seo wants to call it quits, but Soo-ho stops her in her tracks. She might think she can preserve her pride by walking away, but doesn’t she remember that she’d requested for advance payment since money is tight? Unfortunately for Hyun-seo, not only is Soo-ho right, but he’s also a young and rich CEO who can afford to pay her handsomely. Looks like she’s keeping the job after all.

Rounding out our love triangle is Demian (a.k.a. Sohn Jung-hyuk) as the singer-songwriter “K,” who’s more than ready to serenade the noona that caught his eye. Perhaps a cassette of his soulful voice can woo her into saying yes? We don’t get to see him in this teaser, but we do get Kwon Seung-woo (Yumi’s Cells 2) as Chang-shik, Soo-ho’s closest friend and business partner. Their dynamic already looks plenty entertaining, so maybe we’ll get a glimpse into what lies beneath Soo-ho’s polished exterior.

Helmed by PDs Kim Hee-won (Soundtrack #1, Little Women) and Choi Jung-kyu (The Devil Judge), with scripts written by Jung Hye-seung, Soundtrack #2 is slated for a December 6 premiere.
