2PM‘s Junho and actress Kim So Eun successfully completed their mission to make a drama OST.
The pair appeared on MBC’s ‘Music and Lyrics‘ as a couple and were given the mission of making a song for MBC’s ‘Feast of the Gods.’ Their song, ‘Sad Love‘ was released on various charts on the morning of April 8th and is slowly climbing up the charts.
Junho made the melody for the song and Kim So Eun wrote the lyrics. Singer Lee Jung sang the song after Junho requested it of him. The plan is to use the song as the theme for Kim Do Yoon (played by Lee Sang Woo) who cannot make up his mind regarding Go Joon Young (played by Sung Yuri).
The music director acknowledged Junho’s music writing ability during the past broadcast of ‘Music and Lyrics’ but Kim So Eun’s lyrics received harsh criticism. Because of that, Kim So Eun looked back on her past diaries that she wrote in for 10 years and with a lot of hard work she made two sets of lyrics, a hard version, and a softer version.
Netizens who heard the song the couple wrote responded by saying, “It seems the the softer version was the one they went with in the end“, and “I am curious if they will really use it in the drama.”
