tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Maestra: Strings of Truth” , which premieres on Dec 9th, is about a secretive female conductor who faces the truth surrounding her by digging into the mysterious incidents that happen within her orchestra.
Unlike her comedic role in the previous drama “Inspector Koo” , where she displayed a different side, “Maestra: Strings of Truth” showcases her overwhelming charisma as she takes on the role of Cha Se-eum, inheriting the baton from Kim Myung-min’s conductor character in the series “Beethoven Virus” .
With the spotlight on Lee Young-ae, attention is drawn to whether she can overcome the previous work’s shortcomings and achieve success in both performance and ratings.
Lee Young-ae has expressed confidence in her role, emphasizing the preparation for her character’s transition from a violinist to a conductor.
The actress has actively promoted the drama, participating in various shows and events to build anticipation for the series, as the success of “Maestra: Strings of Truth” is deemed crucial for her name’s recognition.
Lee Young-ae’s previous drama “Inspector Koo” marked a daring challenge for her, where she transformed into the quirky detective Koo Kyung-yi, deviating from her elegant image. While the ratings were modest, the drama received praise for breaking stereotypes with its unique plot and inventive direction.
“Maestra: Strings of Truth” is now awaited to see if it can follow the success of “Beethoven Virus” with a peak rating of 19.5% and whether Lee Young-ae can surpass the iconic character portrayed by Kim Myung-min.
