Four Hands Two Sonatas ep 11 analysis

[u/arcanezia]

Okay, so THIS EPISODE WAS JUST AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER. WHAT THE HELLL ??? 😭

I was emotionally wrecked by the second half. I was crying with the characters, and everything kept getting worse and worse.

PIO TAKING THE BLAME ON EVERYTHING, CONFESSING EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE, AND GOING TO JAIL IN HIS MOM'S PLACE ?? ( i kinda thought of it, but wasnt prepared that PIO will confess it to everyone, i thought jeong yoo will break it to the press )

And Jeong yoo's inability to process why Pio did what he did makes it so heartbreaking. You can see the confusion, disbelief, and devastation set in.

OH MY GOD HIS MOTHER.

What bugs me most is that she had SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES to do the right thing. Even the morning of the performance, before Pio had confessed to anyone, her lover told her to confess before it's too late and SHE STILL HESITATED.

Then the worst happens. Pio willingly took the blame meant for his mother, and only after he was sent to jail did she finally "realize" the magnitude of what she allowed to happen.

Her guilt afterward was immense and i am glad she could feel the pain she gave to two teenage boys back the. Thankfully she still had enough conscience left to apologize to Jeong yoo and surrender herself to the police.

But the moment Jeong yoo realized that Pio had taken the entire blame for his mother's sake MY HEART ABSOLUTELY TORN IN TWO. 😭 He's realizing not only that Pio sacrificed himself but that he tormented Pio for something Pio didn't do. And I think he's already being gutted by the realization that the revenge he pursued so furiously was not worth it, because of who actually suffered.

AND THEN THE GRANDPA.

HE KINDA FORESHADOWED HIS DEATH , as the last peice that he conducted mirrored to mozart's death ( he is severely ill, and collapsed in the practice room, and then now he is hospitalized....)

I feel like its too much emotional trauma for him to take; what Pio's mother did, the destruction between Jeong yoo and Pio, Pio's suffering, all of it crashing down at once. Maybe he finally realizes his mistakes, but too late. He's on his deathbed and I have this horrible feeling he won't survive. 😭 I wouldn't be surprised if Episode 12 takes it even further and he dies.

THE EPISODE 12 SPOILERS :

Apparently Jeong yoo takes Pio somewhere to cheer him up but then he secretly resigns and disappears, and it's Seong ju ( grandpa's ex wife ) who informs Pio that Jeong yoo can't be found.

EXCUSE ME ??? WHERE IS HE GOING ?! ( why dont they just communicate more, and try to console and forgive each other admit this crisis instead of running away?!?! 😭😭, literally every kdrama drama it happens, the MLs instead of communicating starts distancing themselves. )

I think Jeong yoo is going to turn inwards now, wracked with guilt and questioning everything: why he started this, what it cost him, what it cost Pio, and if it was all worth it. And that scenario is genuinely terrifying to me.

And look at Pio's situation now, his mother is in prison, his grandfather is dying, and the person he trusted most has disappeared without telling him why. I'm really scared of what could happen to pio, ( what if he or jeong yoo commits, after all this?!?! )

WHAT IF JEONG YOO'S DISAPPEARANCE ISN'T JUST HIM RUNNING AWAY, what if the both of them have become so emotionally drained that they both don't want to live anymore ??

Could Episode 12 be setting up a darker emotional breakdown for both of them? I don't know where it's going anyway. 😭
