Always (태양의 후예 OST)
윤미래
A sweeping, orchestral power ballad that announces itself with cinematic weight — strings swell beneath Yoonmirae's voice like waves cresting before a storm. The production is lush but purposeful, never drowning the intimacy at its core. Yoonmirae brings her signature duality here: a voice that can sit in smoky, restrained tenderness one moment and erupt into raw, chest-filling power the next. The song carries the emotional register of someone standing at a crossroads, speaking to a person they may be losing or have already lost, clinging to a certainty that refuses to dissolve. It belongs to the lineage of Korean drama ballads that function almost as a second script — the music articulating what the characters cannot say aloud. The chorus lifts with a kind of aching resolve, the kind of feeling that comes not from happiness but from loving something too much to let it go quietly. Best heard at night, with the city lights blurred through a window or rain drumming softly outside, this is a song for moments when emotion has nowhere left to go but inward.
