MBC Daily Drama ‘Meant to Be’ OST Part.3
Cherished And Painful Words - ‘ONE.K’ Released
The MBC daily drama ‘Meant to Be’ portrays a story where a father’s misguided desires lead to a tragedy, turning a father and daughter into enemies, who eventually realize the love of destiny.
OST Part.3 [Cherished And Painful Words] is a song longing for a lost love, starting with a lyrical piano melody and strings, warming our ears with ONE.K’s tender voice. It becomes more emotionally powerful in the latter half with explosive singing and composition.
The lyrics are impressive, expressing the longing and regret for someone who left because the words “I love you” were held back too much.
Right now, in love, the message is not to hold back saying “I love you” to the precious people who come to mind.
The song, though about a longing lover, carries ONE.K’s heart, wishing everyone to express their love frequently to their closest family, lovers, and friends.
Warm in emotion and with a deep baritone voice, ONE.K has shown diverse talents in OSTs like [Red Shoes] and [Witch’s Game], especially [Cherished And Painful Words] being his second original composition following the KBS2 drama [Red Shoes].
‘Meant to Be’ OST Part.3 ‘Cherished And Painful Words’ is a work that has greatly enhanced the harmony of music and video, a collaboration between director Kim Jin-hyung and music director Masangwoo, who perfectly grasped the drama’s flow. Music director Masangwoo, known for composing various music in works like [Owl], [Confidential Assignment 1,2], [My Name], [Wonder Woman], [The Second Husband], has elevated the musical quality through collaboration with ONE.K.

Lyrics #
사랑한다 하던 넌 이제 없다 (Saranghanda hadeon neon ije eopda)
The one who used to say “I love you” is now gone
너를 떠올려 봐도 아무 의미가 없다 (Neoreul tteo-ollyeo bwado amu uimiga eopda)
Even thinking of you has no meaning anymore
사랑했다 많이 사랑했었다 (Saranghaetda manhi saranghaesseotda)
I loved you, I loved you a lot
니가 떠난 후에도 널 많이 그리워했다 (Niga tteonan huedo neol manhi geuriwohaetda)
Even after you left, I missed you so much
헤어졌던 그 때 그날로 시간을 (Heeojyeotdeon geu ttae geunallo siganeul)
The day we broke up, if I could
더 되돌릴 수 가 있다면 (Deo doedollil su ga itdamyeon)
Turn back time even more
넌 달라졌을까 (Neon dallajyeosseulkka)
Would you have changed?
우리의 모든 날들이 사랑한다는 말을 (Uriui modeun naldeuri saranghandaneun mareul)
All our days, the words “I love you”
아끼고 또 아껴서 부족한 날이 (Akigo tto akkyeoseo bujokhan nari)
Were cherished and saved, perhaps the days were lacking
너를 붙잡았나봐 (Neoreul butjapassnabwa)
That’s why I held onto you
늦게라도 내게 다시 돌아오는 길이라고 (Neutgerado naege dasi doraoneun girirago)
Even if it’s late, tell me it’s the path back to me
내게 말해줘 (Naege malhaejwo)
Tell me
헤어져야 할 이윤 없어 (Heeojyeoya hal iyoon eopseo)
There’s no reason we should break up
너를 사랑했던 그날로 (Neoreul saranghaetdeon geunallo)
Back to the day I loved you
시간을 더 되돌릴 수가 (Siganeul deo doedollil suga)
If I could turn back time more
있다면 넌 달라졌을까 (Ittamyeon neon dallajyeosseulkka)
Would you have changed?
우리의 모든 날들이 사랑한다는 말을 (Uriui modeun naldeuri saranghandaneun mareul)
All our days, the words “I love you”
아끼고 또 아껴서 부족한 날이 (Akigo tto akkyeoseo bujokhan nari)
Were cherished and saved, perhaps the days were lacking
너를 붙잡았나봐 (Neoreul butjapassnabwa)
That’s why I held onto you
늦게라도 내게 다시 돌아오는 길이라고 (Neutgerado naege dasi doraoneun girirago)
Even if it’s late, tell me it’s the path back to me
내게 말해줘 (Naege malhaejwo)
Tell me
헤어져야 할 이유 (Heeojyeoya hal iyu)
The reason to break up
무엇도 그 무엇도 내게 다시 올 수 없단 (Mueotdo geu mueotdo naege dasi ol su eopsdan)
Nothing, absolutely nothing can come back to me
너의 그말에 난 많이 아파오지만 (Neoui geu mare nan manhi apa-ojiman)
Your words hurt me a lot
날떠나갔던 니가 나와같다면 (Naltteonagatdeon niga nawa gatdamyeon)
If you, who left me, feel the same
이제다시 내게 돌아와주라 (Ijedasi naege dorawajura)
Please come back to me now
우리의 모든 날들이 사랑한다는 말을 (Uriui modeun naldeuri saranghandaneun mareul)
All our days, the words “I love you”
아끼고 또 아껴서 부족한 날이 (Akigo tto akkyeoseo bujokhan nari)
Were cherished and saved, perhaps the days were lacking
너를 붙잡았나봐 (Neoreul butjapassnabwa)
That’s why I held onto you
늦게라도 내게 다시 돌아오는 길이라고 (Neutgerado naege dasi doraoneun girirago)
Even if it’s late, tell me it’s the path back to me
내게 말해줘 (Naege malhaejwo)
Tell me
내가 사는 이유는 너야 (Naega saneun iyuneun neoya)
The reason I live is you
