PARADISE
I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close they'd fall apart again
First, So Yi Jeong did not believe the happy ending and happily ever after. Perhaps a time he thought he had believed it, but when his happiness snatched away without rest, there was no reason to believe in dreams. In fact it was too bitter.
Although there were times when he was 'fun', but it's all just a mask. Toying with women, acting arbitrarily with friends of his F4, dissipating... those were his ways to escape. Ways to waste his time. Because time was not precious to him. All the fun ended with new pain incised in his heart. His conscience always blamed his actions, but he had already drowned. There was no way back other than pain.
I feared my heart would feel in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
First, So Yi Jeong was a private covered. He was kind, friendly, and fun—especially for women—but only a few people knew about his real life. Song Woo Bin, Gu Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo knew his mother was ailing, his father was a jerk, and her brother ran away from home, but they did not know about his past with her. Cha Eun Jae.
During this time, it was a secret that was too dark for him to reveal: his first love. The secret that made him lonely every night—even when there was an unknown woman slept beside him. If he could repeat the time, he wanted to erase his feeling. That would be better than bear this deep sense of loss. 3 years since the departure of his love was like a burning hell which never stopped even though he had been reduced to ashes.
Oh how could I have not known,
That all my life I only needed you
Then, So Yi Jeong met Chu Ga Eul. The young man could not understand how a sweet and innocent girl could scold him and made him slightly annoyed. But as the days passed, somehow their relationship became closer. Like all the other womenfolk, she was crazy about him later. Giving him chocolates and gifts; he was already suspected this would happen with his charisma as a cassanova. But he did not expect her attention gradually changed his life. His days were spent with more colours, smiles and laughter imperceptibly replaced loneliness.
Perhaps, since then he started to feel happy again.
And, So Yi Jeong realized he needed Chu Ga Eul in every day-to-day.
oOo
It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
Since childhood, Chu Ga Eul believed in the existence of soul mates. True love is till death do us part. A beautiful, faithful, and forever love. But finding it was not as easy as she thought. The real world was not like the stories in the books which were arranged neatly in her closet. Sometimes she had to taste a glimpse of grief.
First, Chu Ga Eul had a relationship with a man. She thought she had found someone who loved her for whom she was. She had imagined the happy ending. But she was too naive; that man betrayed her. The pangs were not measurable, making her just crying miserably as if the sky had fallen down and hit her.
I'd almost given up,
you must've read my mind
Then Chu Ga Eul found So Yi Jeong was smiling in front of her. She did not suspect a notorious womanizer could actually entertain her and treat her wounds. Of course she was touched. Gradually new love flew, much stronger than she felt before. She did not know why, although she had been denied, the feeling was still there. Until she arrived at a point when she chose to give up—after all the effort she could do—and release him.
In her heart, she was really still hoping.
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally coming true
I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hands
She continued to hope, even after So Yi Jeong went to other parts of the world, just left a promise that could not be proved. Over the years, Chu Ga Eul chose to believe one day he would return to her side. She devoted her longing to her ceramic work. Yes, she was too naive. But this time, that girl's biggest dream came true. The prince on a white horse really saw her immediately after arriving in Seoul. She could not even guess where he knew her location to teach.
But that enchanting smile, magically, promised a future.
oOo
Almost paradise!
We're knocking on Heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
So Yi Jeong and Chu Ga Eul could not be happier. They've found heaven in the soul of each other.
