Meanwhile, Park will portray Jeon Sang-do, the orchestra's primary stakeholder who leads the ensemble with true passion and love for music.

As the show's premiere draws closer, fans of Lee Young-ae and K-dramas are eagerly anticipating the actress's return to the small screen.

"Maestra" is scheduled to air on tvN later this year, with the exact premiere date yet to be announced.
