헤어질 결심 메인 테마 (헤어질 결심 OST)
조영욱
Cho Young-wuk's main theme for Decision to Leave is one of the more emotionally precise pieces in recent Korean cinema — a melody that sounds simultaneously like falling in love and the premonition that it will end badly. The piano carries the primary voice, accompanied by strings that move with the inevitability of tide, and the tempo has a kind of deliberate, almost ceremonial weight. The theme captures obsession's particular quality: it doesn't feel chaotic or frantic but slow and consuming, like fog thickening. There's a romanticism here that is never warm — it is beautiful in the way certain sad things are beautiful, the way the sea looks before a storm. Repeat listens reveal harmonic choices that are subtly unsettling beneath the surface lyricism, as though the composer embedded the film's ambiguity directly into the music's structure. This is the sound of a feeling you can't name exactly, caught perfectly.
