Musical Monday's is back with a vengeance baby! I'm so excited to kick start this new series with such a fantastic song choice.
@sunsoakedsheets Thank you so much for recommending this to me! You have excellent taste in music!
Song: We're already (Nevertheless OST)
My thoughts on the song: What a beautiful, beautiful track! Kimmuseum's voice is ethereal and magical and just such a joy to listen to! 10/10 would recommend this song! 🤩
⚠ Please note: I'm using this series as a study practice so there possibly may be some mistakes. If you spot any, or a better way to translate a sentence please lemme know so I can correct it! 🥰
Translation notes: Because I am still practicing creating Korean sentences I cannot 100% guarantee my translations will be accurate. Therefore I have included my own sentences, Papago translations of my sentences and examples taken from Naver dictionary. Where sentences are not my own I have labelled where they have been sourced.
Right then enough of my waffling! Let's start this musical study session! Whoop Whoop! 🎉🎉🎉
