About Forest of Piano Season 2

If you are hunting for a new drama series, Forest of Piano Season 2 (ピアノの森 2 (TV)) deserves a look (2019). The setup goes like this. The setup: With the start of the Chopin piano competition, Kai Ichinose, Shuuhei Amamiya, and many other hopeful musicians from around the world strive to reach the top. The stakes have never been higher, and the judges are rigorous when it comes to selecting the winner out of the plethora of talented pianists.

Soon after, this competition is so harsh that even famous prodigies can be easily eliminated. Some play for the money, some play to fulfill their duty to their families, and yet others play for their music to be heard. However, the only one who can reach the top is the one who embodies the spirit of the music Frédéric Chopin crafted for future generations.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Shuuhei Amamiya (Natsuki Hanae) and Kai Ichinose (Souma Saitou) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
