OST Part.1
“The Reason of My Smiles” by BSS of SEVENTEEN is a song that captures the moment when the love between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in begins again.

”I don‘t know why but
I keep smiling
It feels like I’m under your spell”

The gentle piano melody in the introduction, along with a sound resembling a heartbeat, naturally melts into the whole body. On top of that, a soft humming reminiscent of a spring breeze that warms a frozen heart during winter is added, providing an even more tantalizing excitement.

Released on 10 March 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 2 airs.


OST Part.2
“Tell Me It's Not a Dream” by 10CM is a song that captures the excitement of starting a relationship and the longing they felt, reminiscent of something encountered long ago.

Because love cannot be seen, heard, or touched.
Expressing this is often clumsy, as if it's broken, and often deviates from the intention.
However, sometimes such seemingly absurd and reckless words and actions can work miracles without you even realizing it.

The OST was first released as a highlight video of the drama before airing. It’s a blues-style ballad song that doubles the romantic mood. 10CM's sensuous vocals, combined with a languid yet playful atmosphere, are added to the relaxed and leisurely accompaniment, creating a romantic holiday vibe. It imparts an optimistic and comfortable feeling.

Released on 16 March 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 3 airs.


OST Part.3
“Hold Me Back” by Heize is a song about the conflicting love, hatred, and indescribable affection shared between Hyun-woo and Hae-in, a couple facing a crisis. The tender yet heart-wrenching lyrics, “Stop me from running to you”, seem to foretell the deepening emotions between the two, heightening viewers’ anticipation.

Inevitably, love is accompanied by affection and hatred.
This fact often feels like a tragedy.
But like ice embracing fire, even if I knew the ending,
I wouldn't have been able to stop the love.

Heize’s vocals adds poignancy to her song with delicate expression and tone.

Omgg I love the ending of Ep 4. Their acting and Heize’s OST >>
The part where the song goes:
“Stop me
Please, stop me here
Stop me from running to you
I don't know how to forget you
Without you, my path
I just don't know
Stop me”

Then they show Hyun-woo walking towards Hae-in… *Chef’s kiss.*
Beautifully captures the internal conflict of Hyun-woo.
Yet, he can’t help going towards her ♡

Released on 17 March 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 4 airs.


OST Part.4
“Love You With All My Heart” by Crush is a song that delicately portrays the emotional journey of Hyun-woo and Hae-in as they navigate through intense hatred and resentment to realizing true love.

The OST first appeared in Episode 3 during the monologue scene of Hae-in, who finds herself in a perilous situation due to a sudden attack by a wild boar but miraculously escapes from the danger with the help of Hyun-woo.

Hae-in: “Why did this memory pop up now?
If I were to die here, would you be the last person on my mind?”

“Love You With All My Heart” is a delicately crafted song. The intro's guitar riff, unfolding hesitantly like probing into the deepest recesses of the heart, along with the spacious ambient atmosphere, creates a high level of immersion. This, combined with the lyrical melody line and Crush's warm vocals blending harmoniously, provides a deep resonance.

Released on 24 March 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 6 airs.


OST Part.5
“Fallin’”  by Isaac Hong is a song that expresses Hyun-woo’s sincere and earnest feelings for Hae-in.

Transformed fading memories into sparkling memories.
“I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
Even at this moment
Even deeper,
I'm falling for you”

A heart that does not change over time.
“I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
Once again
My heart falls for you”

The OST added the feeling of earnestness by being first inserted in the ending scene of Episode 6, where Hyun-woo runs to Hae-in with a bundle of good luck four-leaf clovers and the fact that he has found their love lock that they left on their honeymoon trip 3 years ago.

“Fallin’” starts with a solemn touch of reminiscence, gradually building up with a lyrical string sound and a sublime atmosphere, eventually overwhelming the space with its climax. With delicate melodies and deep resonance, Hong Isaac's voice adds depth to Hyun-woo's sincere and desperate feelings towards Hae-in, dramatically expressing them.

Released on 30 March 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 7 airs.


OST Part.6

“Can't Get Over You” by Paul Kim is a song that evokes the natural and cozy moments of love between Hyun-woo and Hae-in. The romantic piano melody combined with Paul Kim’s soft voice conveys the excitement and tremble just as if the beginning of falling in love.

The OST was first introduced in Episode 8, during a flashback scene of Hae-in, where she watches the sunset on the subway with Hyun-woo, doubling the romantic atmosphere as their love naturally and warmly blossoms.

Hyun-woo: “As I wander around in the subway until sundown,
Then in between Dangsan Station and Hapjeong Station,
I get to see the best sunset in Seoul.
Isn’t it pretty?
When I see that, I completely forget how awful of a day I had
It just makes me want to go home.”

Released on 6 April 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 9 airs.


OST Part.7

“From Bottom of My Heart” by Kim Na Young is a song ‘that vividly captures unspoken confessions and heartfelt sincerity through the reminiscence of past memories in a diary. The lyrics, written calmly and honestly as if penning a diary, along with Kim Nayoung’s delicate, sorrowful and poignant voice at the end of the restrained melody, are expected to touch and resonate with listeners’ hearts.

Through diaries, we print past memories more clearly.
As I rewind my memories, I discover new things I didn't see at the time, and
I also encounter emotions that were sincere because I had hidden them.
Things like confessions without answers and sincerity that cannot be reached.

The song first appeared in Episode 4, where Hyun-woo reminisces about the joyful times when he learned of the pregnancy news with Hae-in, providing viewers with a deep sense of immersion.

Released on 7 April 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 10 airs.


OST Part.8

”Last Chance” by So Soo Bin is a song filled with love, longing, and earnestness, like a miracle that comes by your side every moment. Its grand and dreamy sound adds to the compelling narrative of Hyun-woo and Hae-in's fateful story. Especially, it added immersion to the epilogue at the bus stop and the scene where Hyun-woo proposes to Hae-in.

Released on 13 April 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 11 airs.


OST Part.9

”Promise” by Choi Yu Ree is a song that not only heightened the immersion in Hyun-woo's drunken confession scene but also expressed Hae-in's emotions in Episode 10’s epilogue. With lyrics written as if calmly confessing hidden feelings, combined with the compelling voice of Choi Yuree, the song delicately expressed Hae-in's earnest and tender feelings towards Hyun-woo.

Released on 14 April 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 12 airs.


OST Part.10

”Heart Flutter” by dori is a song that combines a rhythmic acoustic guitar melody with lively percussion sounds, creating a fresh and bright atmosphere. The honest and straightforward lyrics about staying by someone’s side, reminiscent of the initial excitement and tremble felt, along with dori’s charming voice, enhance the love narrative of Hyun-woo and Hae-in, making it more delightful and colorful.

This song first appeared in Episode 4, capturing the moment when Hyun-woo feels exhilarated upon seeing Hae-in. Subsequently, it has been featured in numerous romantic scenes, highlighting the cute chemistry between the 'BaekHong couple'.

Released on 21 April 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 14 airs.


OST Part.11

“More Than Enough” by KIM TAE RAE of ZEROBASEONE is a song that captures the sincere love that Su-cheol has for Da-hye in the drama, as well as his desire to protect what’s precious. The lyrics perfectly express Su-cheol’s emotions, and Kim Tae-rae’s soft and emotional voice over the lyrical piano melody is expected to enhance the immersion.

In particular, “More Than Enough” was first used in the amusement park scene, which deeply moved the viewers with Su-cheol’s unwavering and pure love. The song left a lasting impression, and as the actors’ powerful performances amplified the emotion, anticipation for the release of the OST continues to grow.

Released on 27 April 2024, 18:00 KST, before Episode 15 airs.


OST Special Track

”Way Home” by Kim Soo Hyun is a song more than just a performance,
it's like the final words Hyun-woo wanted to say to Hae-in, spoken softly, but with a depth of emotion that lingers behind, a song of comfort amidst hardship, perfectly expressed, and the recording was truly moving.

In the end, the words Hyun-woo wanted to say to Hae-in were... "Let's go home," a line from the climax of the drama that started all the lyrics.

Hyun-woo and Hae-in, who have gifted each other a miraculous life, will walk hand in hand for a very long time, like a blazing sunset, filled with abundant joy where no sadness or tears can enter.

Every nominee, whether it's a TV show, movie, or individual like a director, writer, or actor, has a chance to win the Daesang. Before the ceremony, the judges select a shortlist of Daesang nominees, but they keep it secret until after the event. The shortlist, along with some insight into how the judges made their decisions, is revealed a few days later.

THE POPULARITY AWARD

The prize awarded to a male and female actor selected from the list of nominees in television and film acting categories is solely determined through online fan voting.
