■Iri Comment
It was my first experience writing for a TV drama. Since it was a suspense drama, I had to go through a lot of trial and error to find the best way to express the tension and the complicated human relationships. Based on a guitar phrase that suddenly came to mind, I wrote a song about the bottomless energy of protecting the things and people you love even while being driven crazy by desire. I wrote a song about accepting distorted love, and sometimes letting go of it, and the determination to choose your own life despite the conflict.
I hope you enjoy it along with the drama.
