The orchestra must go on for Maestra Lee Young-ae
by tccolb
A new poster and teaser have been released for tvN’s looming mystery Maestra: Strings of Truth, where our conductor heroine Lee Young-ae (Inspector Koo) takes the stage again, willing away the growing cracks that have been threatening to shatter her fiercely earned success.
The adage “the show must go on” is not taken lightly by our Cha Se-eum (Lee Young-ae) who begins the trailer with her strict teaching that, “Every music piece that an orchestra shares with the audience must be perfect. In any circumstance.” She is then asked if this is what she’s been doing all this time for orchestras to improve, and Se-eum replies, “That’s why the stage for me is a war ground, where enemies are all around.”

It’s interesting that Se-eum is aware of the irony, walking eyes wide open into a lion’s den of her own making. She’s even creating a potentially scarier protégé in Hwang Boreumbyeol (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse), who coldly declares that, “You should leave if you don’t have the skill.”
But she’s not the only person to watch out for, with Se-eum’s husband Kim Young-jae (Numbers) showing his ugly side, in addition to the reappearance of her former boyfriend Lee Moo-saeng (The Glory) – who eerily wonders if Se-eum doesn’t want to live.
A shaken Se-eum hears the warning that, “They’re coming for you,” and she cries in anger, “How much more of your rock bottom do I have to see?” The teaser then ends as our heroine collects herself for another performance and she tells herself quietly, “It’s because this could be my last orchestra.”
Directed by PD Kim Jung-kwon (Love to Hate You) with Choi Yi-yoon and Hong Jung-hee writing, tvN’s Maestra: Strings of Truth will be airing in the weekend slot starting December 9.
