the soundtrack nearly killed the film for me


that song they kept playing is the ugliest song I've ever heard! obviously whoever decided to use it for the film has no Arabic background and has no idea what the lyrics are about. being an Arab myself and being able to understand what the singer is saying gave me a huge irritation. other than the lyrics making absolutely no sense and not relating to the scene whatsoever, that singer's voice gave me the worst headache ever!

really bad choice of soundtrack!

i rather liked the song

i speak some arabic myself so i could understand a fair amount of it. song lyrics often don't make literal sense.

I understand what you mean It's very hard to me hear this track and those Arabian lyrics in a Korean movie
But those lyrics are so suitable to this movie If you speak Arabic
But I still wonder how and why he use an Arabian music in Korean movie.

that's what's so great about it, is that it doesn't make sense.

Hmmm Indeed, we all have different tastes. The song is so beautiful, and the melody and the voice are magic. It was one of my favorite songs to practice my belly dancing taqseme ( wrong spelling i know) way before i saw the movie, I could just put it on repeat and listen to it over and over again. And I do think the lyrics go with the soul of the movie. It's poetic, not to be taken literally

The winds of love suddenly began blowing in my head
Showing me the peace of my beloved
You say "return my precious, rise above the separation while you are a stranger."

The impatience of my imagination wandered
And my highest aspiration is to be happy
You emerged from the highest tower
And said a strange word

Return my love
I don't have any destiny for me in this world
You are my love but you cannot be suitable for me
