Beatus Corner : April 2013

[Spoiler Picture] Kim Tae Hee's smooth lines are exposed in the latest Jang Ok Jung's stills

Kim Tae Hee's latest stills showing her exquisite smooth lines (she's in the bath tub & getting bathed).

I wonder what happen here. Why is she in the tub? Is she undergoing a "royal" training? Or is she's pressured to clean herself up completely before she can see the King? Her facial expression shows that she's not "that" happy to be there.

Monday, please come quicker! And hopefully Jae Hee aka Chi Soo will finally make his first appearance.

All about My Romance OST Part 3 - I Love You by Akdong Musician

Answering the love call from the drama's representative, the talented brother & sister Akdong Musician (the winner of K-Pop Star 2) composed and sang the OST for the latest political rom-com All about My Romance. The OST was released at noon today. I love love it! Their distinct unique voices blend well with the cheerful tone of this drama and I believe this OST will become another hit song for them.

Check out the MV featuring Akdong Musician & Lee Hyun Woo. Kyeopta ^_^

English Lyric Translation by popgasa

Though I close my eyes, I can see you because the wind tells me
Your scent softly lingers around the steps you took before
Now…

Though I miss you, I smile
Because at the tip of my hands – no, throughout my heart,
Your lingering touch makes me live

I want to see you even if it’s in my dreams so I call out to you
Where are you? Do you even know of me?
All day, I call and call out to you
Can’t you hear it? This painful love
I send my heart along with the wind
I am by your side and I am waiting
Only for you

Things you can’t control
Yes, love is like that too
I fell down so many times
The scars don’t have time to heal

I want to see you even if it’s in my dreams so I call out to you
Where are you? Do you even know of me?
All day, I call and call out to you
Your voice lingers around me
I miss you, I miss you, your breath, those memories
They make me breathe
Again today, I live for love

Even if it’s in my dreams, if only we can be together
Under the same sky, just once more
If only we can be happy
I have nothing more to ask, even if it’s in my dreams
Can’t you hear it? This painful love
I send my heart along with the wind
I am by your side and I am waiting
Forever

English Lyric Translation by popgasa

One man is in love with you

With clumsy eyes and clumsy steps

So that naive woman, like a fool,

Is looking at a different place once again

Where did it go wrong?

Like buttons fastened wrongly

It seems like I can touch you but I can’t

You remain even clearer to me

* You’re really so bad – I’m still at the same place

But you pass me by again, making my heart cry

You live in me but you’re not there

That reality makes me sad again

** Cause you’re in my heart

Again today, I wait for you

Please hold me as I’m living my cruel fate

I love you – words I swallowed by myself

Now I’ll tell you so you can see me

As I’m locked in thoughts of you

I suddenly looked at the clock hand

It seemed like our destiny

That is in the same place but is looking at different places

* Repeat

** Repeat

Time, please stop – she is passing me by

So that when my heart and my tears can be seen

So that when the falling rain stops

I can go into her embrace

Tell me of a love that’s like a dream

You’re feeling it too

I know you had many reasons why you couldn’t say

It’s alright, love that’s felt for the first time

Won’t be easy for both of us

But they are precious days that we will go through together

Because I can see you again

Laughter keeps seeping out

We waited for such a long time

We did, you and I

Thank you for helping me find my lost smile

And making my dull heart feel overwhelmed again with your warm smile

When I am tired and falling down

Because I can hold you again

Tears keep falling down

I was very lonely but I hope we can walk together

Step by step

Now that we can be together

Tears keep falling down

This was what we really wanted

We did – let’s be together forever

With all the news about Baek Ji Young singing the latest OST for this drama, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked Melon music site at noon today and saw that Lee Ji Young (Big Mama) sang the newest Gu Family Book's OST.

I first heard this OST (instrumental music only) during GFB's press conference (GFB's 5 minute highlight video). Pop-rock OST in a sageuk drama? Why not? =)

Oh can you hear my heart? The whispers that linger on my lips

Even the stars in the sky have hushed as they shine on us

Now make a wish that this moment will feel like eternity

Even the flowers in the meadow keep their fragrance in and embrace us

Love blows our way as we lean against the sunlight

I see you and we lock eyes underneath the same sky

Stop for a moment and although there are no words

My heart is overwhelmed, tears rise up

I want to be with you together, just like now

Can you feel the longing in the collar?

Even if it scatters in the wind, it comes back again

Even when I close my eyes, I can find you

The clouds are jealous, even if they cover you, I can see you

Love blows our way as we lean against the sunlight

I see you and we lock eyes underneath the same sky

Stop for a moment and although there are no words

My heart is overwhelmed, tears rise up because we’re together

I breath in you and the longing stops

I call out to you, I shout out to the world

That I love you like this

I want to stop time and always stay like this

Not a memory, not a recollection but our love is right now

Love came to me like spring rain
Completely soaking me wet
Without a sound, it melts my frozen heart and awakens me

It’s sweet
This vague feeling, this fluttering heart
I guess I haven’t known love till now

Love makes me be born again
Like the very first time
Rain falls again today and tomorrow
Rain that resembles you is falling

It’s sweet
This vague feeling, this hidden heart
Because I can know and feel love
I really thank you

Love makes me be born again
Like the very first time
I’m smiling again today and tomorrow
I draw you out, I feel you

The day when the spring rain fell
The day that was filled with your scent
My love goes back in time
And falls down as spring rain like destiny

English Lyric Translation by popgasa

* Just a little

My heart feels a bit frustrated

It just feels a bit cloudy

Just a little, just a little

I am resenting the world

If you need to leave, if you’re going

There’s nothing I can do but

Just a little

It just hurts a lot

You used to walk next to me

Back then, we walked without a word

I remember that

You used to smile so brightly that it scared me

I remember that so I’m a bit sad

* Repeat

I know that there’s nothing that can be done

That it’s even harder for you

I know everything

I know that it’s not just us two underneath this sky that dazzles so much that it angers me

That’s what makes me a bit sad

Just a little, just a little

It feels like tomorrow will not come

If you need to leave, if you’re going

I don’t think I can take it

But I will comfort myself and try

I will do that

* Repeat

I’m a fool

Yes, I’m a fool because I only know you

I only know how to think of you

I need to forget you now, I need to put you down

But why am I worrying about you again?

Again today, I get drunk because I keep thinking of you

I empty the glass that is filled with images of you

The past days are still clear before my eyes

When I can only live if I forget you

* Yes, I’m a fool who can’t even do a simple break-up

Yes, I’m a fool who can’t even do a simple love

I’m sorry, I’ll be waiting again today

In the place where you left, at the time when you left

I linger

I fight with loneliness, I fight with yearning

I spend a day swaying about

In case you come back, I have hopeless expectations

When I can only live if I forget you

* Repeat

Say bad curses at me, throw me away cruelly

So I am able to leave you

Yes, I’m a fool who can’t even protect you

Yes, I’m a fool who can’t even protect a simple love

I’m sorry, I’ll be waiting again today

In the place where you left, at the time when you left

I linger

Dedicated to Wol Ryung & Seo Hwa (contains spoiler)

Kang Chi, the Beginning (Gu Family Book) started with heart-wrenching love story of Choi Kang Chi's (Lee Seung Gi) (the hero) parents, guardian of Mt Jiri Wol Ryung (Choi Jin Hyuk) & Seo Hwa (Lee Yoon Hee). A forbidden love between a gumiho and a human who run away to the mountain as she didn't want to become a gisaeng & surrendered her virginity to the man (Jo Gwan Woong) who killed her own father.

A smitten gumiho who saved a run-away slave; gave her a glimmering hope (although he had to lie to her that her brother & sister-like maid are safe), joy, love and warmth. This woman made his heart fluttered. For the last 1000 years, no one ever touched his heart like she did.

*His innocent smile, his pure heart, he gave his all to a woman he really loved*

*The first kiss*

*Their beautiful wedding*

*Their first night, I really loved this scene. Wol Ryung lovingly kissed Seo Hwa's tattoo - a gesture that he loved her although she's a run-away slave*

He decided to become a human by following these 3 rules:
1. He doesn't kill anyone
2. He will always help anyone who ask for help
3. He will never show his power (gumiho power) and his gumiho power to anyone

If he obeys all three rules above for 100 days, he will discover the sacred Gu Family Book (no-one ever saw this book before, simply because no-one has successfully completed these rules).

If he fails, there may be a chance he'll turn into a demon for the next thousand years. But if the woman really loves him, although he fails, he will not turn into a demon. The catch: he has to stab the heart of the woman who really loves him with the dagger. Gosh...

Wol Ryung gave his all to Seo Hwa. But, he lied to her. He never told her that he's a gumiho. He lied that her brother & sister-like maid are safe. Lies can make / break any relationship. Unfortunately, this drama decided to break Wol Ryung & Seo Hwa's marriage and broke the viewers' heart!

Wol Ryung only had few more days before he completed his 100 days; but evil Jo Gwan Woong never gave up and still looked for this gumiho (although he has his personal motive: to capture Seo Hwa).

In the end, Dam Pyung Joon found out about Wol Ryung's magic (I prefer to call it as "magic" hehe), when he wrapped himself with leaves to protect Seo Hwa & himself. Then, when he tried to run away from Dam Pyung Joon's troops, they run into a trap (T__T). As they dragged Seo Hwa away from him, and chained him; he was conflicted. He knew he couldn't show his power, but he would always help anyone who ask for help. In this case, his wife was screaming for him to help her. But on the other hand, he would break the rule if he showed his power.

In the end, he couldn't hold it any longer and transformed into a gumiho - in front of everyone and his wife who stood there, frozen, couldn't believe that the man who gave her hope, love, joy; transformed into a monster.

Seo Hwa was safe, so did Wol Ryung (but he's badly injured.. T__T). He repeatedly apologized to Seo Hwa, but she didn't care T__T She's scared, upset, felt betrayed. She froze as her husband collapsed in front of her.

Seo Hwa decided to turn herself to the enemy; and escorted them to Moonlight Garden, the place where she shared many beautiful moments with Wol Ryung. Dam Pyung Joon stabbed him with a sword; and bom, he disappeared from the woman who he really loved, forever.

I believe that Wol Ryung is alive! But whether or not he becomes a demon for thousand years is a mystery.

Seo Hwa, who's pregnant with Wol Ryung's child; tried to abort the baby as she thought the baby would be a monster. But the baby's growing healthily inside her womb. She decided to go back to the Moonlight Garden, and gave birth there. Thankfully, the baby is not a monster; he's a really cute baby boy, Choi Kang Chi.

As Wol Ryung & Seo Hwa journey ends, Choi Kang Chi's journey will begin. Will he face the same fate as his father? Will he ever find a woman who can understand his struggle & can stay by his-side although he's half gumiho? I hope so!
