"Can't Get over You (좋아해요)" by vocal master Paul Kim serves as one of the most touching emotional anchors in the acclaimed tvN / Netflix drama Queen of Tears (눈물의 여왕). With gentle piano melodies blooming into an orchestral confession, the ballad articulates the realization that one's entire heart still belongs irrevocably to their significant other.

뜨거워요 여기 마음한켠

Tteu-geo-wo-yo yeo-gi ma-eum-han-kyeon

It grows warm, deep in a corner of my heart

그댈 보면 자꾸 눈물이나요

Geu-dael bo-myeon ja-kku nun-mu-ri-na-yo

갑자기 그 이름이 문득 떠오르면

Gap-ja-gi geu i-reu-mi mun-deuk tteo-o-reu-myeon

When your name suddenly crosses my mind out of nowhere

따뜻해요 여기 온 마음이
