KDRAMA OST

It's Okay to Not be Okay (2020)

A romantic drama series starring Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji that tells an unusual romance story between two people who end up healing each other’s emotional and psychological wounds.

Ang nanami-an ko pa gid sa drama nga dya is the animated tales from the children's book "authored" by the FL (female lead).

Raku nami nga kanta sa anda soundtrack, but I am drawn to this particular song:

I’m Your Psycho (Janet Suhh)

Close your eyes
Hear my heart
You can’t see my lies

Gonna tell a lie
Through my eyes
You will never know

Gave me your all
I will take your heart
And I’ll rip it all
All away

Close your heart
Before too late
Maybe I’m insane

Gonna tell a lie
You deny
They already know

Gave me your all
And I’ll take your heart
Leave them all behind
‘hind the walls

Take me out of your castle
Sound of laughter b’hind these walls
Don’t you know
There’s only one way here

Fear comes to me
Day and night
Here I’m yelling out
I’not the queen

You and I can maybe make it out

You’re my adrenaline
Bring the castle down
Maybe
I can
Show you
When it goes down

You’re adrenaline
Burn down all the tree
Maybe
I can
Show you
When it burns down

Sew your heart
Make it tight
Maybe I’m insane

Gonna tell a lie
You realize
I don’t really care

Hospital Playlist (2020)

It tells the stories of doctors, nurses and patients at a hospital. Five doctors all entered the same medical university in 1999. They are university friends and now work together in the same hospital. May banda pa sanda nga lima. This kdrama stars Jo Jung Suk, Yoo Yeon Seok, Jung Kyung Ho, Kim Dae Myung and Jeon Mi Do.

Malaka lang ako nagalantaw ka mga medical drama series because I'm more into grim reapers and necromancers rather than lifesavers, but this is one kdrama that found its niche in my heart. Season 1 pa lang dya gani excited ako para sa anda Season 2. Sa mga kanta ka anda banda, this one is my favorite, so here's an English translation of the lyrics:

In Front of City Hall at the Subway Station (시청 앞 지하철 역에서)
by: Kwak Jin Eon (곽진언)

I met you again at the subway station in Sicheong
When I went to buy a newspaper, that’s when I saw you
When I called out your name in that crowded place
You look so surprised

When I tried going to you, I stepped on someone’s foot
So I had to laugh and say I’m sorry

Talking about life, talking about changes, boring talks about the weather
We tired ourselves out by talking about all the memories

Those times that felt so slow have passed us by
And now you’re a mother of two, you said with a slight smile

When you asked about me, I just shrugged
And told you I’m still looking for something, somewhere

When we meet again some day
I said I’d show you dazzling fruits of my life
The song that has our souls deeply engraved on it
Is still playing in our ears

Sometimes, I wish I could send it to you when I think about you
But then you cut it short and said you had to get off at this stop

Among all the busily moving people
When you start to disappear
I start to feel like I did back then

When we meet again some day
I said I’d show you dazzling fruits of my life
The song that has our souls deeply engraved on it
Is still playing in our ears

CDRAMA OST

Love is Sweet (2020)

Not only do I like the chemistry of the OTP sa dya nga drama series but I also enjoy the soundtrack. Manami pa hay pira gawa nga kanta nanda in English gani maka sing-along man ako bisan libagun.

Blue Bird (Della Ding)

Blue bird singing in the tree
Fly away in broken wings
Let’s count to one, two, three
Just leap and let our mind be free

Blue bird dancing in my dream
Take my love back home to me
If I count to one, two, three
Will he be next to me
So many years have passed us by

I’m holding back the tears
I’m holding back the fears
Fly into the storm to where you are
I’m holding back the tears
May these broken wings will
Be strong enough to take me all the way to you
Across the ocean
You’ll be waiting
A lighthouse shining out forever
Watch me fly so high
See how my colors paint the sky

Blue bird dancing in my dream
Take my love back home to me
If I count to one, two, three
Will he be next to me
So many years have passed us by

I’m holding back the tears
I’m holding back the fears
Fly into the storm to where you are
I’m holding back the tears
May these broken wings will
Be strong enough to take me all the way to you
Across the ocean
You’ll be waiting
A lighthouse shining out forever
Watch me fly so high
See how my colors paint the sky

The Untamed (2019)

Para indi ako mag uli-anon sa sagi ka sulit on how I love this series, and the Untamed boys and how I'm not fujoshi enough bisan I fangirl about WangXian to my three friends (nga ang isa waay pa gani nakalantaw)...

Let me just share this very obvious song choice, ang main theme "Wuji" or "Unrestrained". Raku dya versions sa OST nanda but I like the duet by Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo. "Wangxian" kuno ang una nga title (from the names of the main characters) but was officially released as "Wuji" (also from their names) sa anda album OST. The song was first played by Lan Wangji for Wei Wuxian when they were trapped in a cave on Dusk-Creek Mountain after killing the Tortoise of Slaughter... ang kanta nga dya could very much be their own version of "a love that dare not speak its name."

Here is one English translation of the lyrics:

无羁 (Wu Ji)

Listen to the sound of a flute, alone in sorrow
The nights in the Cloud Recesses are long
Fair and foul is all in the past
Now that I am awake, how can I pretend it was all a dream?

In the red dust, the good and evil done, how does one remember?
Blood is warm but the blade is cold
The mountains are far and the waters are deep
The qin sounds once again
Confessions unfulfilled, like the quiet silver grass reflecting the frosty moon

Brew a cup of life and death’s joy and grief, to honour a young man
The bright moon is still the same, so there is no need for sadness
Why not soar high and free as a bird with the winds and waves
And sing this one song together to the world

Travelling down thousands of rivers, crossing thousands of mountains
Countless people passed by on my journey
Fair and foul is all in the past
Now that I am awake, let's pretend it was all a dream

In the red dust, the good and evil done, how does one remember?
Blood is warm but the blade is cold
The mountains are far and the waters are deep
The qin sounds once again
Confessions unfulfilled, smiling at the ever-changing world

Brew a cup of life and death’s joy and grief, to honour a young man
The bright moon is still the same, so there is no need for sadness
Why not soar high and free as a bird with the winds and waves
And sing this one song together to the world

Brew a cup of life and death’s joy and grief, to honour a young man
The bright moon is still the same, so there is no need for sadness
Why not soar high and free as a bird with the winds and waves
And sing this one song together to the world
And sing this one song to the world

Love and Redemption (2020)

Ang paglantaw ka dya nga drama is like undergoing a mortal trial. It's a nice exercise sa imo tear ducts and a sort of test on how much blood can you tolerate seeing from one person. Hay heartbreak after heartbreak ang series, expected dun nga equally heartbreaking man ang theme song nanda. I'm sharing this version of the English translation kang lyrics because I find this more poetic compared sa iban nga versions.. Indi dun kita magkumod hay bukon dya aton first language. Raku gid tuod ang heartbreaks, but this bloody xianxia managed to end on a happy note.

Love Like Colored Glass (Zhou Shen)

Destiny carries a foreshadowing of how life will be
Like a dream, I encountered you unexpectedly
The mole on the corner of your eye marks our affinity
But how come you forget the promise we made in previous life

The ending is doomed
The process inexplicable
We can't escape fate all along 
Behind the mask are the shades
of the sadness and joy you'd never understand

Revive the scenarios once desolated in your eyes
Let me be with you, watching flowers bloom and flowers fade
Unlock all the memories sealed at the bottom of your heart
When the moon rises all the memories flood back in waves as if waking from a dream.

My love for you has no end
I will love you till my last breath
Our love is like colored glass.
