A musician forced to stop playing rediscovers his love for music when he hears a woman playing a gentle, captivating piece. That’s the main premise of Secret: Untold Melody.
Directed by screenwriter-turned-filmmaker Seo You-min, the film is a romantic fantasy-drama and a remake of the 2007 Taiwanese film Secret. It stars acclaimed Korean actress Won Jin-a and EXO member and heartthrob Doh Kyung-soo.
The film follows Yu-jun (Doh Kyung-soo), a pianist studying abroad who is forced to take a break from playing after an accident. He returns to Korea to recover and becomes an exchange student at a college where his father teaches.
One day, while wandering around campus, Yu-jun hears a haunting melody coming from an old practice room. When he steps inside, he finds Jung-a (Won Jin-a), a fellow student and pianist, playing with deep emotion.
Bound by their shared love for music, Yu-jun and Jung-a grow close. As they spend more time together, their connection deepens into something more. But despite their genuine feelings, Jung-a pushes Yu-jun away, saying there is a secret about her identity—one he must never know. It is also the reason they can never be together.
What is Jung-a’s secret? And how long will it keep them apart? These are the questions the film seeks to answer.
Distributed by Viva Entertainment, Secret: Untold Melody is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
