Sorrow

We have two characters: Kong-bi and Choi. Kong-bi grew up in a wealthy family but under a very cruel regime; his mother is a psychologically unstable woman obsessed with God who takes her own shortcomings out on her son. She cares about no one but herself and her own twisted ambitions. Although Kong-bi believes his grandfather doesn't accept him, that isn't quite the case; his grandfather is actually trying to explain that music isn't just about learned notes—you need to have a soul. Yet, Kong-bi simply cannot grasp this. On the other hand, there is Choi, who possesses innate talent despite the poverty and harsh conditions in which he grew up. He is cheerful, trying to remain positive and keep a smile on his face no matter how hard things get. He genuinely tried to be a true friend to Kong-bi—and for a time, they were; I think that was the only period when Kong-bi truly felt happy. However, a mix of jealousy, obsession, the onset of mental illness, and his mother's influence took their toll. Kong-bi isn't to blame for the kidnapping or what happened to Choi, but the moment he accepted an award that shouldn't have been his—without saying a word—he trampled on their friendship. He continued playing the piano, even while feeling guilty and constantly telling himself he didn't belong there; he should have been honest and publicly stated his true feelings about the award and his success.
After nine years, Choi returned—his memory restored—seeking revenge. Not only that, but Kong-bi once again displayed selfishness by publicly claiming they hadn't been close, even though he insisted they were friends when he actually found him. Now, Kong-bi has discovered that his mother was the one responsible for what happened to Choi. I hope he does the right thing, tries to change, and seeks forgiveness. Because, honestly, in his madness, he has lost himself; he is neither truly alive nor dead—he simply cannot breathe. One thing is certain: whether rich or poor, it unfortunately amounts to the same thing—two unhappy souls. Two souls that never learned what love is; two souls with the same dreams, yet actually worlds apart. In the end, both suffer; successful or not, neither is happy. Both carry psychological trauma—one who lost himself, and the other whose very self was stolen and destroyed. There are four episodes left; it is a very interesting psychological series.
