로우엔드프로젝트 (Low End Project) – 지금은 겨울이지만 곧 봄이 올 것 같아 (Now It’s Winter But Looks Like Soon Spring Will Come)
Why is it that so many Korean rom-com dramas have the same exact plot? Rich, good looking chaebol falls for poor girl who only looks ugly because she has bad hair no make-up and dresses poorly. AND he treats her very badly, AND she can’t help but fall for him even though it goes against her own better judgment. Oh, and there’s another guy who is more likable but she never gets anywhere with him. Examples are legion – High End Crush, My Lovely Sam Soon, Fated to Love You, Cinderella’s Sister, Goong, Secret Garden, Birth of a Beauty, My Girl, My Lovable Girl, Moorim School… even my favorite Coffee Prince (although I still maintain it’s based on the Brazilian classic “Grande Sertão Veredas” by Guimarães Rosa but that’s another story).
But the real question is – why do we like them so much? Is it the typical character development, the quality of the story line, the superior acting, and of course the beautiful people? All of the above, plus the OST. Ah yes, the music…
Tearliner is one of the best music producers in the classic K-drama rom-com genre. He is an expert at pulling together musicians that know how to convey the feelings and message in a romantic drama to best promote the feeling of the story. Here working with Low End Project (please check out the other songs from this OST!) he manages to convey the pathos and longing of the storyline… which is quite beautiful, I hope you agree.

From the “Heart to Heart” OST
지금은 겨울이지만 곧 봄이 올 것 같아
ji-geum-eun kyeo-ul-i-ji-man kod bom-i ol keot ka-t’a
지금은 겨울이지만 곧 봄이 올 것 같아

곧 봄이, 곧 봄이 올 것 같아
kod bom-i, kod bom-i ol keot ka-t’a
낙엽 떨어진 자리에
nag-yeob ddeo-reo-jin ja-ri-e
여린 새 잎이 돋아
yeo-rin sae i-p’i do-da
상처를 어루만지고
sang-cheo-reul eo-ru-man-ji-go
서툰 사랑 끝내고
seo-t’un sa-rang kkeut-nae-go
떠난 사람 자리에
ddeo-nan sa-ram ja-ri-e
새로운 사랑이 온다
sae-ro-un sa-rang-i un-da
지금은 겨울이지만 곧 봄이 올 것 같아
ji-geum-eun kyeo-ul-i-ji-man kod bom-i ol keot ka-t’a
곧 봄이, 곧 봄이 올 것 같아

곧 봄이, 곧 봄이 올 것 같아
kod bom-i, kod bom-i ol keot ka-t’a
차가운 바람이 불어
cha-ga-un ba-ram-i bu-reo
식어버린 마음에
shi-geo-beo-rin ma-eum-e
낯선 온기가 돌고
nat-seon on-gi-ga dol-go
잦은 한숨에 눌려
ja-jeun han-sum-e nur-lyeo
작아진 마음에
ja-ga-jin ma-eum-e
포근한 바람이 분다
p’u-geun-han pa-ram-i pun-da
지금은 겨울이지만 곧 봄이 올 것 같아
ji-geum-eun kyeo-ul-i-ji-man kod bom-i ol keot ka-t’a
곧 봄이, 곧 봄이 올 것 같아
kod bom-i, kod bom-i ol keot ka-t’a

Low End Project – Now It’s Winter But Looks Like Soon Spring Will Come
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Soon spring, soon spring will come
Fallen leaves on the ground
Tender new leaves sprouting
Touching and stroke the wound
Wretched love is ending
Leaving this place
A new love is coming
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Soon spring, soon spring will come
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Soon spring, soon spring will come
A cold wind blows
Growing colder in my heart
The unfamiliar warmth of stone
Frequent sighs pressed
In my tiny heart
A heartwarming wind blows
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Now it’s winter, but looks like soon spring will come
Soon spring, soon spring will come
