With three episodes out, the new Korean romance drama Tell Me That You Love Me is easily one of the best dramas of 2023. So far at least.
After all, not only are the performances of leads Jung Woo Sung as deaf artist Cha Jin Woo, and Shin Hyun Been as aspiring actress and part-time waitress Jung Mo Eun superb, it also features gorgeous cinematography, a slow burn of a love story and some incredibly pretty songs on its soundtrack.
Songs like the one playing on Tell Me That You Love Me, Episode 1 ending scenes.
Those wonderful scenes as Cha Jin Woo and Jung Mo Eun meet on the street in Seoul, and Jin Woo talks about what seeing her meant to him.
What is song played over Tell Me That You Love Me Ep 1 end scenes as Jin Woo and Mo Eun meet on the street?
That song, which is sung in both Korean and English, is called ‘Sound of Your Heart‘ and is performed by Seori, a Korean pop singer who, if you are a K-drama fan, you will have likely heard her sing other soundtrack songs recently as well.
Those songs include tracks like ‘Warriors‘ for the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, ‘Wicked’ for the K-drama Remarriage and Desires, ‘Full Moon’ for the recent Netflix K-drama Doona!, and ‘Sad Hitman‘ for Song of the Bandits.
Seori’s ‘Sound of Your Heart‘ is the Korean singer’s latest drama soundtrack song, and was officially released on November 28th via Stone Music Entertainment and GENIE Music for the Tell Me That You Love Me, Pt. 1 OST.
The song’s melody is a lovely musical illustration of those touching and sweet moments, while its lyrics fit those Tell Me That You Love Me, Episode 1 ending scenes perfectly as well:
Time has been stopped in your eyes
The raindrops are falling so light
The dance on your face
And echoes recall
I feel
The sounds of your heart
as we hear Cha Jin Woo comment:
I always thought I was the one who should make an effort to live in harmony with others. Because in this world, there are a lot more people that can hear than cannot.
But out of all those people, someone came to me and said “Hi” first. She said she was glad to see me again, and she smiled.
Listen to Seori’s ‘Sound of Your Heart’ from the Tell Me That You Love Me, Pt. 1 OST and the Episode 1 ending scenes in both the video below (hoping for an actual music video featuring scenes from the drama, fingers crossed!), and via Spotify.
I have had the K-pop track on repeat for a couple of days now, as it really is the loveliest of things.
