Mystic Nymph: day 04 - a song that makes you sad

I'll let you in a little revelation about my favorite usernames in my virtual sites. First is about my Mikimoto Angel pen name. Mikimoto is a famous brand of pearl accessories in America. I first saw that brand in Vogue Magazine. I got mesmerized by that label, and I thought of using it. I just added Angel from my name "Angela". Thus, the formation of Mikimoto Angel.

For my other pen name Mystic Nymph, the word mystic really came from the show Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. I used to be so hooked to that show. I am also obsessed with mythologies, and nymphs are mythical creatures depicted as beautiful young women who are considered as guardians of objects and places in nature. Thus, the evolution of Mystic Nymph.

day 04 - a song that makes you sad

iI love Korean songs, not the pop ones but the ballads. The hit movies My Sassy Girl and Windstruck were the primary reasons why I learned to appreciate Korean ballad. I fell in love with Pechelbel Canon and I believe. You’ve heard of these mellow tunes, haven’t you? I may not understand their words, but I can certainly feel the emotions brought about by the melody itself. No doubt about that. I’m giving my earnest applause to those Korean singers and composers for delivering their heartfelt passion towards their variety of listeners.

The song that makes me sad is from the soundtrack of the Korean TV Series, You’re Beautiful. It’s called My Heart’s Calling sung by Kim Dong Wook. In case you don’t know, the story revolved around the nun who was forced to discreetly play the part of her ill twin brother for the celebrated boy band, A.N.JELL. Jang Geun Seuk, the band’s front man, developed a romantic feeling for Go Mi Nam after knowing that she’s actually a girl. Shin Woo (another A.N.JELL member) on the other hand, knows about Mi Nam’s situation from the start. From then on, he also learned to love Mi Nam.

My Heart’s Calling - Kim Dong Wook

This series was aired in ABS-CBN around last year, but I preferred watching it on DVD instead. That song was always played whenever Shin Woo contemplates about his feelings towards Go Mi Nam. The song made those heart-breaking scenes between Shin Woo and Mi Nam even more tear-jerking. I get really moved every time I listen to it. Trite as it may sound, but I know that we all know how miserable it is to fall in love with someone who doesn’t even take heed of your heart’s calling, right?
