All For You (Korean TV Series OST)

For more than a decade now, I have been a fan of Korean TV series, or commonly known as "Koreanovela" in the Philippines, where I am from.  Watching Koreanovela became one of my favorite pastimes, especially during those times when I really couldn't get out of the house much.

I have a couple of favorites, but I do like a lot of them.  I like that the story lines dissent from each series, and they're far different from what I'm used to (Filipino TV drama shows) back home.  I also like the fact that they don't put way too many characters into the story.  Having just the right amount of people, in my opinion, makes it easier for viewers to follow the story and get to know the characters even better.  Personally, I don't like having to go through the trouble of remembering each of them, except for the main characters.  I like the fact that I can focus more on the story rather than trying to know characters that get added pretty much every week as the story progresses.

Anyway, one of the many things I ended up enjoying aside from watching the shows is, learning to sing their songs, or the OST (original soundtrack).  I still find it hard to follow the lyrics up to now, even though I've been listening to their music/songs for years, because they're just too hard to enunciate.  But, I enjoy singing!  And it's even more fun when you're trying something different.  I also like the fact that, although I really don't know the language, at least I can sing some of their songs. (Hehe!)

The way they spell their words is way far from how they're actually pronounced (see lyrics below), so it really takes some time for me to learn how to sing one song properly.  I literally have to dissect each word and learn how to say them one by one correctly, before I could even begin to sing the song along with its music.  It can get frustrating sometimes, but if you're determined to learn, it's not at all that bad.  It just needs patience and, of course, determination.  And, by the end of one song, by the time I've learned how to sing it, my tongue is already "sore".  (LOL!)  I don't know how else to describe it.  It honestly feels like you're doing a tongue-twister from beginning to end.

At the moment, I know a few Korean songs by heart - music and lyrics.  But, hey, don't ask me what they mean!  I don't know most of them.  (LOL!!)  I can just sing the songs, but I cannot translate the language. Hehe!!  I'm still in the process of learning it.  I hope....

Here's a new song I'm currently learning how to sing.  If you get confused following the lyrics, well, that makes the two of us.  (Kidding...)

(Singers in this video aren't the original ones.)  I just like this version because the singers here are, Filipinos.  I feel more challenged to learn and sing it the way they did, because they've done a pretty good job.

 

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. It may not be your kind of music genre, but sometimes, new songs are worth a try listening to.  You'll never know.  Your next favorite song might just be something you never thought you'd actually like. **wink**

I added the lyrics below.  Enjoy singing in Korean!!
