At the beginning of Episode 16, Sun-Mi takes a major step away from Hyung-Chul while she devotes herself to mending Kim Woo-Jin’s broken heart. The subsequent length of their separation is not explicitly stated, but it seems that many weeks, and perhaps months, had passed when one evening Hyung-Chul chances upon Sun-Mi in the elevator lobby, on her way to the radio studio. Sun-Mi doesn’t notice him, as she is engrossed in reading a poetry book in preparation for her evening radio program.
Ep.16 – Sun-Mi reading as Hyung-Chul discreetly follows. Later,
during the live broadcast of “Musical Postcards”, Hyung-Chul watches from the
studio observation window as Sun-Mi reads a poignant selection from an
unidentified book about two lovers experiencing a lonely Spring apart. This is the first of two lengthy radio monologs by Sun-Mi. (The second one is in Episode 17 on the day she faints.) Since she knows Hyung-Chul regularly watched her TV broadcasts in the past, she probably believes he listens to her radio program, too, and uses this medium as an indirect means of communication to him. |

In 2001,
Jang Nara released her debut album. The title track “Burying My Face In
Tears” is a medium tempo R&B song that combines a Korean style melody
with Spanish sounds. Burying My Face In Tearssung by
Jang Nara (장나라) lyrics
from the poem by Won Tae-Yeon (원태연) [http://www.lyricstime] When I
bury my face with tears When you
throw away the day I will
swallow my tears too From
when (Think back to the past how we used to be) I am
prepared to beg I will
know in advance (I look
back and I can't forget a single moment, uh!) Do it
for me Truly I
need you, but when I called you weren't there There
are no tears, but the day I gave up I cried **The
memories which break in this starlit day throw away your name It can't be erased, I will erase myself I don't
know (Think back to the past how we used to be) The
reason I urgently gave up Love in
advance (I look
back and I can't forget a single moment, uh!) Do it
for I will
endeavor everyday to try to change things It wasn't
the truth that you could just throw me away without caring The
lingering spreads as cold as ice The day
you left me I cried |

Sun-Mi reads about the pain and heartache of a long separation… |
as Hyung-Chul, watching from afar, shows that he knows the feeling. |
