It's a pleasure to share. Glad you're enjoying the videos. I think this is her best, most accomplished album, but my favourite is both this one and the 2nd full-length album (the collected works one), depending on what mood I'm in. I really love some of those early songs.

@@Ruby_Kang Ahead of her time, and now, timeless!!

The song is a wonderful opening to the album isn't it. I still remember hearing it for the first time when the album came out and I had no idea what to expect. The whole album transported me to another place. (Your Scent) You are the one I miss I love and long for you A longing I cannot bear (An unbearable longing) I'm sending my love on the wind Can you hear the sound of my heart? I pray that it can reach you On a sunny spring day Don't forget the day we will meet again I will wait for you In the dancing spring wind Remembering your scent I love and long for you I will come to you (The rest of the song repeats those verses/chorus)

@@Ruby_Kang Oh my!!! thank you so much for the translation. I kept all the translation that I see you reply, because i find that google translate isn’t always reliable. I like how here it is, “Your scent” and not his scent, the one in other music apps have a gendered translation.

@@windflower8821 Yes, she's addressing a person directly (but from afar without him being there). So it is a personal "your scent" not an objective "his scent." There are different ways of saying "you/your" in Korean depending on who is being addressed. Geudae (pronounced like kuhdae) is a poetic written form of addressing a lover. So it is like saying "you/your" specifically to a lover (boyfriend/girlfriend). It's like saying "my love/darling" directly to someone. It's not a term used as much in real life but is used a lot in written form and especially in songs.

@@Ruby_Kang oh wow, thank you for explaining it to me, i am saving this note too. i saved everything you say/explain about her music <3

@@windflower8821 You will hear geudae used in so many pop songs. The best way to understand the term in context is that it's equivalent to the old English term "thou" but spoken only to a lover. It's a historical poetic written term mostly. People wouldn't use the term 'thou' in everyday life but it can be used often in poems or songs.

Refreshed, calm and peaceful. Perfectly said. I too experience those same feelings when listening to this album. I like to lie back with my eyes closed and allow the waves of emotion to wash over me. Yes, this is an extraordinary album, rather than a standard soundtrack it is a work of art in its own right.

Hi Windflower. Hope you are doing well, my friend. I hadn't heard anything, so thank you for letting me know. I'm guessing this will be the debut anniversary show then, done later in the year than it normally is. Looking forward to it. You never know, it may be the last one!

@@Ruby_Kang I desparately want to go!! I wish to see her so bad. I was thinking the same thing that it could be a final thing, that’s also her birthmonth, her 60th birthday, also this year 40th debut anniv. it might be to celebrate it with loyal fans. btw, she also recently posted an instagram story where she is visiting an art museum. she did that for the first time again ever since she went silent. I know she’s private so that post is meaningful, like showing herself to the fans who miss her a lot.

@@windflower8821 In 2014 Sunhee was telling audiences that she was going to retire soon. Ten years on and she's still recording and performing! Amazing! I have a feeling though that she may have fulfilled all her dreams and achievements now and may retire someday soon. Who knows. She's a living legend.

@@Ruby_Kang she always says too when she releases an album, this could be the last one. she always works as if it’s the last ever since the 2014. You’re right, I feel like she has done everything possible with her voice, she even rapped in Fantastic Duo (2016), she can retire anytime. I guess, as a fan, I just want her to always be remembered/celebrated.

Maybe if 'blue' is released on blu-ray it will include an extended and more comprehensive documentary, with more behind-the-scenes footage (which I'm assuming exists in the archives) and interviews with the two main stars. Perhaps even a commentary.

거짓말처럼 - 권연우 / Like a lie - Kwon Yeon Woo Hi there! The song is called "Like a Lie" (In this dream that feels like a lie). It's sung by an actress named Kwon Yeon-woo. I believe the song was written specially for this drama, but the actress who sings it isn't in the drama herself. It's a beautiful sad song, isn't it. Quite perfect for the ending.

Hi again. Would you mind removing the details about the ending in your question please, because it's a major spoiler for those who haven't seen it. Just replace it with something like "song at the end of the last episode." Thanks.

@@Ruby_Kang oh okay sorry for that, I will eliminate that part don't worry, and thanks a lot for answer my question.

@@Ruby_Kang yes it's a beautiful song and sorry for disturbing you again but do you know where can I listen to it? I searched here on KZbin but I can't get the song , again thanks for your help 💜

@@myamaytemendozayactayo7212 Thank you for editing the original question. Much appreciated. Search with this : 거짓말처럼 - 권연우 That's the song title and artist in Korean.

right ❤

I used high quality PNG images and it's easy to read on a big screen, clear as day in fact. I don't know what you're using but it's best viewed on a pc monitor.

@@Ruby_Kang Thanks for replying. I have computrer attached to a tv moniter, and I am far away from the monitor.I guress i would need the images to fill the screen.

​@@irish66 I understand. I'm on a cat-sitting job at the moment, so I'm using a laptop instead of my usual big pc monitor at home. I've just had a good look and it's still easy to read on the laptop. I guess sitting close to the screen is the answer. Hope you can find an alternative way to watch this video, it's a good manga, and differs slightly from the movie. All the best.

@@Ruby_Kang It's probably available to read online somewhere, and if i really wanted to make the effort I coud just bring a chair up to the monitor.

i Downloaded it, and with SM players Zoom out option I able to read the dialogue. Yes, I do mean Zoom out.

I too find her compelling to watch. She has natural charisma, great screen presence and gives an intelligent performance in everything that I've seen her in. She's always very thoughtful and humble in interviews too. I think she's terrific.

No. But one of the characters has an attraction to another, and her storyline is handled nicely. So a little bit yes, but no, it's not a gl movie. Great movie though.

You're welcome. Glad you found it. The making-of documentary is also on my channel (see link in the description notes).

She was only 17 when she made this album. Her lyrics are pure poetry too. Incredible that she wrote lyrics so mature and sophisticated at such a young age. She writes about love and heartbreak with the wisdom and perspective of someone twice her age.

Lee Ji-yun is one of the special singers of the 80s era. She was praised for her natural singing voice (soft tones with no stylized technique). I adore this whole album, and the magic continues with her 2nd album.

Cool! 영상 봐주셔서 고마워요

I had a wonderful week over at my mum's, thanks. I could do with a new set of headphones myself. Both wires are wearing thin on mine and they're held together with multiple layers of electrical tape! The sound is still good on them, but it's only a matter of time before one of the wires breaks. This is an LP-rip. The early 70s Kim Choo-ja LPs are very rare items and the rips are often made by DJs and collectors in Seoul from the original LPs. Some of the other early-period albums have been remastered in recent years but only as limited edition LPs, usually around 300 copies each and they're extremely expensive secondhand. Those were made specifically for LP collectors. I'm a CD girl at heart and really wish they just released remastered regular CDs on mass for the wider public. I've a horrible feeling though that CDs are going to become obsolete in the years to come.

@@Ruby_Kang Oh ditto! I am a CD person as well. Mainly cause I still don't have a record player (just checked and it's vinyl not vynil 🙃😉) and I think I will have one soooooooon (trying to influence Mama Christmas). I had to buy bluetooth earbuds because I went through a multitude of electric tape, trying to find the right angle to still make it work, thinking of learning how to spike the wires back and piling a huge graveyard for used, broken and no longer funcioning earphones/headphones. Especially since I love working outside listening to music or podcasts and would often see my portable CD player fly to one side whilst performing (in my eyes) a very elegant dance move 😇😜.

@@mcprevec I like how CDs have a nice clean sound, no pops and crackles. I've never been a fan of LPs because they deteriorate over time and inevitably end up scratchy, which I find distracting. Old original CD releases from the 80s-90s aren't the best quality but I love it when they get remastered for re-issue. I hope more of the old albums get remastered for CD release before CDs become a thing of the past.

@@Ruby_Kang does that mean you prefer studio versions to live ones?

@@mcprevec Regarding individual songs? I guess that all depends on how good the original studio version is. A studio version is by its very nature the classic recording. Live versions are numerous and varied, some even better than the studio recordings and some not as good. Kim Choo-ja and Lee Sun-hee both have great live albums. One important aspect of studio recordings is that they capture the sound and vibe of the era they were recorded in. For instance, with Sunhee's 80s Jigu recordings, later live versions of those songs are usually better, but the original studio recordings have a potent nostalgic quality that cannot be reproduced. They're like time-capsules. Also, a live album is a mix of songs from different eras, whereas a studio album is a more concentrated, self-contained project. On the whole I prefer studio albums but I love good concerts too. With individual songs though it just depends on which version is best.
