Welcome to the Han River Philharmonic orchestra, where music and mysteries abound. In tvN’s Maestra, a remake of the 2019 French television series Philharmonia, Lee Young-ae (Inspector Koo) takes center stage as she leads her musicians through symphonies and suspense.
A former violinist turned world-renowned conductor, Cha Se-eum (Lee Young-ae) has made a name for herself through her musical prowess. Se-eum is a go-getter who’s unafraid to take risks, and her tenacity has earned her the respect of musicians and audiences alike. She’s certainly on the path to success — until a series of inexplicable mysteries begin cropping up within the orchestra, threatening to reveal her life-altering secret.
Lee Moo-saeng (The Glory) plays Yoo Jung-jae, the chairman of a financial company. As a leading figure in the finance sector, Jung-jae is able to read his clients and ascertain their ambitions at a glance. He’s mastered the art of hiding his discerning gaze behind a genial smile, allowing him to play others like a fiddle.
In the orchestra, there’s one violinist who stands out amongst the rest. Hwang Boreumbyeol (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse) plays Lee Ru-na, a talented young virtuoso whom Se-eum takes on as her protégé. Diligent and passionate, Ru-na will stop at nothing to prove her aptitude.
Next to Se-eum, we have Kim Young-jae (Stealer: The Treasure Keeper) as Kim Pil, her affectionate and loving husband. However, beneath his considerate demeanor lies a well-concealed secret. Instead of lauding his wife’s achievements with pride, he’s developed an inferiority complex towards the high-flying Se-eum.
Last but not least, Park Ho-san (Taxi Driver 2) plays Jeon Sang-do, the CEO of the Han River Philharmonic. With his jovial personality and brilliant mind, he directs the orchestra with gusto. That is, until the mysterious cases send the Philharmonic spiraling into a crisis. It’ll certainly be interesting to watch how he and Se-eum team up to guide their beloved orchestra out of this state of flux. Or perhaps they’ll find themselves at loggerheads, escalating the dramatic tension and keeping us viewers on the edge of our seats.
Directed by Kim Jung-kwon (Love to Hate You) with scripts written by Choi Yi-yoon and Hong Jung-hee, Maestra will commence filming later this year.
