I loved this Kdrama alot. Ha Ji Won 하지원 just shined. I loved Jang Geun Suk 장근석 as her first love. I heard the film version with Song Hye Gyo is not as good. I watched this drama twice! The costumes, music and acting were top notch. The OST rocks and listening to this song reminds me of this great drama!

This MV 나쁜사람 (Bad Man) by Paek Ji Young 백지영 is lovely.

One Find Day 어느 멋진 날(KR-MBC 2006)

So I am watching an old drama with Gong Yoo 공유 (Suh Gun) and Sung Yuri 성유리 (Ha Neul /Hae Won) 어느 멋진 날 “One Fine Day” 好的一天 / 精彩的一天 from 2006. Both leads play brother/sister (not blood related but united by marriage) who are separated once their parents pass away. Then 15 years later they are reunited. Circumstances cause them problems. Also Lee Yeon Hee 이연희 is Hyo Joo who grows up with Gun and she has a life threatening heart condition. ( Side note, she is currently in EAST OF EDEN 에덴의 동쪽 and supposedly dating her co-star Song Seung Hun 송승헌 -lucky gal!)

The music is lovely and the first part of the drama was filmed in Australia. Gong Yoo’s English was passable-at least better than Lee Jun Jin 이정진 or 김래원 Kim Rae Won’s 2004 Drama in “Love Story in Harvard” 러브스토리 인 하버드 . But this drama brings back the sister/brother forbidden relationship angle that has been found in other dramas along with the fatal illness aspect as well. Despite it, I don’t mind watching this drama. After 커피프린스 1호점, I loved Gong Yoo 공유 in it.

I am halfway through this drama, I love the OST. Asian dramas sure know how to pick great songs.

Tae Yeon 쾌도 (What If)만약에

After watching episode 7 of Hong Gil Dong, I have not been able to get this song out of my head. I find am humming it alot. Oh my! The song was very appropriate for that scene. When Hong Gil Dong (Kang Ji Hwan)강지환 姜至奂 leaves Heo Yi Nok (Sung Yuri) 성유리 成宥利 to save her from being hurt as he being pursued he knocks her out. He knows if he does not, she will follow him.

Girls Generation (SNSD 소녀시대 少女時代) lead singer Tae Yeon 쾌도 is the leader of the nine member group and she sang solo (What If)만약에 from Hong Gil Dong 만약에 스틸영상(mainly episode 7) here is the video with pics of her Tae Yeon and performance on Cool Fm here.

Korean/English translated/romanized lyrics from flyingcrispi’s blog for “WHAT IF”:

만약에 내가 간다면 내가 다가간다면

넌 어떻게 생각할까 용기 낼 수 없고

만약에 니가 간다면 니가 떠나간다면

널 어떻게 보내야할지 자꾸 겁이 나는걸

내가 바보같아서 바라볼 수 밖에만 없는건 아마도외면 할지도 모를 니 마음과 또 그래서 더 멀어질 사이가 될까봐

정말 바보같아서 사랑한다하지 못하는건 아마도

만남뒤에 기다리는 아픔에 슬픈 나날들이 두려워서인가봐

만약에 니가 온다면 니가 다가온다면

난 어떻게 해야만 할지 정말 알수 없는걸

내가 바보같아서 바라볼 수 밖에만 없는건 아마도

외면 할지도 모를 니 마음과 또 그래서 더 멀어질 사이가 될까봐

정말 바보같아서 사랑한다하지 못하는건 아마도

만남 뒤에 기다리는 아픔에 슬픈 나날들이 두려워서인가봐

내가 바보같아서 사랑한다하지 못하는건 아마도

만남 뒤에 기다리는 아픔에 슬픈 나날들이 두려워서인가봐

If I were to go
If I were to get close to you
What would you think?
I don’t have the courage.
If you were to go,
If you were to leave.
I don’t know how to send you away
It keeps hanging on my mind
I know I am a fool and can only watch you from afar
Your heart may look away from me…
And so we could even become strangers
Just like a fool I can’t even say that I love you because …
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad.
If you were to come
To come near me.
What would I do ?
I really don’t know
Because I’m like a fool.
Even though I know looking is all I can do
Your heart may look away from me
And so we could even become strangers
Just like a fool I can’t even say that I love you because….
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad
Because I’m like a fool
Even though I can’t say I love you
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad.
