Actress Lee Young-ae returns to the small screen with the drama “Maestra: Strings of Truth”

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.
