Ah, romances. Yun Ji-Hu is the gentlest member of the F4 gang. Ji-Hu's first love was the model who brought him out of his childhood isolation and, when she leaves Korea again, he makes the decision to drop out of high school and follow her. It's his love for the model that makes him not give in to loving the heroine when she loves him.
And for Christmas

I loved that song by S&G but I don’t understand the video. Is that a scene from a movie or what?
I’ve been creating literary song videos since 1985. They’re layered poetry interpreted in the context of the video. The more you know the show, the deeper you can analyze the connection between lyrics and video. Back in the “old days” I used to get letters doing that analysis. Fun! The purpose is to slice the meaning of the show - to demonstrate aspects of the show, itself, or to analyze particular characters. They have the same structure as short stories, if you are into graphing short story design, which I used to be when I was writing that sort of thing.
They’re also used to entice people into a fandom so that you increase the number of people you can “squee” with when you’re excited about this or that aspect of a show.
Simon and Garfunkel are perfect for these things because their lyrics ARE poetry. The background for this show is that the second lead can’t respond to the show’s heroine because he’s still in love with the model who brought him out of his unresponsiveness after the death of his parents. The heroine loves him enough to want his happiness first and begs the model to respond to him, which angers the boy. But they DO get together, even though he’s still in high school. Since he has no guardian, he chooses to follow the model and drops out of school.
Other videos show what happens when he reacts to the model dumping him and he returns to Korea, attempting to take the heroine away from the hero.
For image/poetry connection, see heroine/rain.
For structure, see video opening being the return of the model to Korea and the video ending being the leaving of the model from Korea and the following of the boy.
At the top level, you attempt to connect particular words with concrete action. At lower levels, you connect the known action with the words. One of my favorite deep dives was actually getting to use an image over a lyric that came from an episode which had that lyric word as the episode title.
These music videos have nothing to do with MTV music videos. I think about those as fine arts turned kinetic. These are purely literary. They use the music to amplify the emotion of the story being told.
So the constraints on the music to be used for a music video include clarity of voice and interesting story. Beatles would be out for repetition.
***************
The show, Boys Over Flowers, is a Korean drama of 25 episodes that shows the changes wrought on a group of 4 rich bullies when a poor girl gets a scholarship to their high school. It’s fantastic and has been remade in about 5 Asia countries. So far, this one is my favorite version. MAJOR, MAJOR blockbuster in Korea. Most of these Chinese and Korean shows would remind you of the morality level of America in the 1950’s. They’re clean, high ideal and the goal is to wait for marriage. In the case of this show, the heroine turns down her choice for bad timing, and they separate for 5 years of chastity while he becomes a famous CEO and she becomes a doctor.
<<Is that a scene
No. It’s cut to shreds to make the music fit the visual action. I took a week’s course in “Editing the Scene” from the editor of “The Pawnbroker.” So I rip all of the different camera angles apart and cut them into shreds to make the action match the significant notes. A scene from a show is, to me, just a bunch of raw footages of different angles to choose between. A lot of the technical complexities involved in matching these videos to the words and significant notes are actually very mathematical. When I taught workshops in these things, that type of editing was under “advanced.”
Not sure what this is all about but Art sang this song about his future wife. It seems that Paul wrote the lyrics. Well that is what I gather from the video below. I have Always enjoyed it.

Thank you for the explanation......
Thank you, have some catching up to do!
Very much enjoyed meeting you.
Same here : )
I stumbled upon one of the most original plots in any movie I’ve ever seen in a dark comedy-mystery-crime drama called Psychopath Diary. The OST playlist is at

A moment or two of most of the songs gives you a fair idea of the show’s quirkiness. It’s on Viki if you haven’t seen it yet.
Thanks for the pointer. I just discovered another genre - multiple personalities. I’m on my second one right now, My Girl. Also on viki.com. Last one was Hyde, Jekyll, Me on viki. The plots are absolutely ingenious.
For psychopaths, my favorite is Love Me If You Dare.
