[Chua-young's Music Box] The Music of 'Pavane' Following the Path of Love

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Music of 'Pavane' Following the Path of Love

I am captivated by the music in movies. Music sometimes conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window into the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding film music was one way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the film more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
There are some stories I want to protect. Just as Kyung-rok (Moon Sang-min) tried to protect the small and humble love between Mi-jung (Go Ah-sung) and Johan (Byun Yo-han) until the end, I still hold onto something that is no longer there.
