K-Drama 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas' Director Sparks Debate with 'Proposal-Like' Scenes

Below are translated comments from Korean netizens

1. It's really cheesy; the director is terrible at filming.
2. Should I fall for this trap? Haha, I'm curious.
3. I can't watch this with my mom...

4. It's really too much ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. They're pretending it's brotherhood, but it's clearly ambiguous... What's the deal? They might as well just make a BL drama...
6. It's going to blow up in the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. The piano on the back scene was so cheesy ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
8. It's so deliberate that my eyes are dead fish eyes.
9. Those expressions are too much like worldly, all-knowing adults; they don't fit a school drama ㅠㅠ Especially Lee Jun-young (이준영).

10. But unfortunately, the two of them have no chemistry at all ㅜ
11. If they had chemistry, I might be fooled, but there's no chemistry.
12. Every scene is deliberately staged, and the result is super cheesy.

13. Even if I wanted to watch it as BL, their images are just heterosexual men; there's no feeling at all, just awkwardness...
14. The chemistry is terrible; it's just hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
15. No, both of them are too heterosexual in my mind... ㅠ Especially Song Kang (송강), who has acted in many romance dramas.

16. Even if it's queerbaiting, it's fine if it's good, but they don't match, so it's just mediocre.
17. Their visuals are good, but there's no chemistry at all.
18. It's not good, and they just copied the old Mozart and Salieri trope.

19. Both the director and the script are bad, and even their acting is strange...
20. Song Kang and Lee Jun-young had some fans during 'Weak Hero Class 1' and 'D.P.' respectively, so the current reaction probably means there's really no chemistry between them...
21. The first image really has a BL drama vibe.

22. Personally, this is the first time I've seen something like this. Is this drama a BL type? I know who both of them are, but there's absolutely no chemistry, I don't feel it, haha.
23. With a female lead and still doing this, I really dislike it. It's disrespectful to both the female lead and the audience.
24. They should just cast high school students; it wouldn't be so disgusting ㅜ They look too much like office workers.

25. They're wearing school uniforms, but their tone and voice are like middle-aged men; it's super distracting and not appealing at all...
26. It is indeed very cheesy.
27. Honestly, if the visuals matched, cheesiness and queerbaiting could be overlooked, but it's precisely because the visuals don't match that... it's... a... problem... Please, production company, don't ignore my advice.

28. I'm watching it, and it's still quite interesting.
29. Seeing dramas that abuse queerbaiting just feels disrespectful. They should either remove the female lead or just go for a pure friendship route.
30. From a non-fan's perspective, Lee Jun-young looks too old to play a character in a school uniform.

31. Their faces are each doing their own thing.
32. The fun of imagining comes from subtlety; when it's so blatant, it's nauseating.
33. I don't know who's acting, but just looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was a BL drama.

34. When it's so blatant, even those who would ship them won't. I really don't understand.
35. Too deliberate, it loses its flavor...
36. They're handsome, but neither of them suits school uniforms; it's too awkward. I hope people over 30 stop wearing school uniforms.

37. It feels like two handsome team leaders wearing Lotte World school uniforms to play... Even if they diet, their bodies look too much like they're 30. The chemistry is also terrible; I'm dropping the drama today. I can't stand their acting either ㅠ
38. Too deliberate is super boring.......
39. I started to wonder from the thick jacket scene, are they high school students?

40. It's too deliberate, I can't watch it...
41. When you force-feed it, you lose your appetite ㅎㅎㅎ
42. It's too much.... I like Song Kang, I originally wanted to watch it...

43. They're not suitable for playing high school students.
44. Both of them are handsome, but strangely, there's no chemistry ㅋㅋㅋ I can actually accept the school uniforms and watch it fine.
45. Ah..... The chemistry is terrible.

46. The subway picture looks like tired office workers, doesn't it?
47. What's with the candles ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Although it's too deliberate, it really feels like they're openly going for it, which I find interesting ㅋㅋㅋ Should I watch it once? ㅋㅋㅋ
48. The last picture is a bit funny ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

49. It's too cheesy ㅜ And when it's force-fed, it loses its flavor.

Please let me ship them myself.
50. It's quite interesting if you watch it casually; the actors must have worked hard.
51. Ah, this is so awkward ㅋㅋㅋ Aren't they high school students???

52. Honestly, it's not BL, so why the BL performance ㅜ It was so awkward to watch ㅠ I wanted to try watching it because I like the actors, but I couldn't stand it and quit.
53. They might as well just make a proper BL drama ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's not some underground BL.
54. The first and last pictures are a bit exaggerated, but I don't really understand the others, is there a problem?

55. No, Song Kang is also so tall; it must be hard to strike that leaning pose ㅋㅋㅋ
56. They don't understand that force-feeding makes you throw up...
57. The first time I saw the trailer, I thought Song Kang was going to film a BL drama.

58. Ah, the last picture is hilarious, why would they do that? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
59. They might as well just make a BL drama; this drama's queerbaiting is particularly severe.
60. I watched it without thinking much, and it turns out it was like that... I was wondering why they lit candles.

61. I'm wondering if it's overacting, the school uniforms, or the mismatched visuals, why is it so awkward? Each actor looks good individually, but together they're just awkward.
62. When it's force-fed, it loses its flavor.
63. But who lit the candles in that last picture?

64. One of them looks like a teacher...
65. Ah, saying they're high school students, there's no need... They really need to be serious when planning.
66. This poster is crying from beginning to end rrrrrrrrrr ㅋㅋㅋ But because it's too deliberate + there's no romantic atmosphere, it actually looks bland, becoming a lose-lose situation? There needs to be that sticky feeling of jealousy, respect, and longing, but they're too much like friends ㅋㅋㅋ
