– PART 1: The Fall –

Byul’s “I Think I”: Regardless of the genre, a K-Drama is rarely without at least one romantic song to fall in love with! Byul’s ‘Full House’ OST 노래 is especially memorable, as it captures the hesitance, confusion, 아직 sincerity of 천천히 admitting to 큰 'L' 단어.

Chorus:

I think I love you, it seems that way,

‘cause I miss you; when you alone are not around

I can’t do anything and

I keep thinking [of you] and

when I see how things are [I think] it’s possible…

[that] I’m falling for you.

I didn’t realize it [before], [but] now I need you,

unexpectedly somewhere deep in my heart

I see that you have taken up a very big space.

Kim Bum Soo’s “I Miss You”: Whenever 가 a K-Drama romance, 있어야하는데 a fallout. And when there's a fallout, 그때가's time to cue the heart-wrenching 음악을! Kim Bum Soo’s classic from the drama ‘Stairway to Heaven’ particularly features melancholy lyrics that describe 아주 complicated, but painful relationship. Although 아마 당신은 won't be able to relate 많은 to a romance riddled with 자동차 accidents, evil plots, and terminal illnesses, the emotional and longing tune will definitely get you overwhelmed and possibly reaching for a tissue.

Last Pre-Chorus:

I miss you, I miss you

to the point that I hate myself.

I want to believe it, [that] this is the right path,

[that] I have to leave for you.

Last Chorus:

The memory of loving [you] like crazy,

these memories are looking for you, but

I can no longer use the excuse of “love”

I shouldn’t be like this

[but] I miss you so much that I could die.

I want to forget you so much that I could die.
