Oon Myung

The song 'Oon Myung' from the Full House Kdrama soundtrack delves deeply into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics express a poignant narrative of someone who has fallen in love unexpectedly and is now grappling with the pain of their feelings not being reciprocated. The opening lines, 'Sarangul chalmoru gesseo / Ireoke tagaol choolnan molrasseo,' translate to 'I didn't know love would come / I didn't know it would come like this,' setting the stage for a story of unforeseen emotional upheaval.

Throughout the song, the protagonist reflects on their naive hope that their love might be returned, only to face the harsh reality that it is not. Lines like 'Niga sarangi deji anhgilul pireosseo / No man un chardero ani gilul pireosseo' ('I prayed that you wouldn't be my love / I prayed that you wouldn't be the one') highlight the internal conflict and the desperate wish to avoid the inevitable heartache. The repeated theme of 'Chamshi su ch'yeo ganun in yeon igil paresseo' ('I hoped it would be a fleeting fate') underscores the desire for the pain to be temporary, yet the wounds left behind are deep and lasting.

The song also touches on the inevitability of facing one's emotions, no matter how painful. The lyrics 'I jen neo ani myon a moo uimi onnunde / I je nado nalul eojolsuga onnunde' ('Now, if it's not you, it has no meaning / Now, I can't even control myself') convey a sense of helplessness and the overwhelming impact of unrequited love on one's sense of self. The protagonist's journey through these emotions is a universal theme, resonating with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of loving someone who does not love them back.
