💜 The Lines That Touched My Heart
![]() |
From Our Unwritten Seoul, Episode 2 — Banpo Rainbow Fountain at night |
What stayed with me most weren’t the big twists or fancy scenes —
but the words.
The lines that felt like they were listening to me,
comforting me, and understanding me.😭
So for this post, I just want to share those words.
The ones that quietly stayed with me. ^^
👩 Mi-Ji – Episode 2
어제는 끝났고, 내일은 멀었고,
오늘은 아직 모른다. 가자!
Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come.
Today is yet unknown. Let’s go!
👵 Mi-Ji’s Grandmother – Episode 4
아이고 우리 번데기, 얼마나 큰 나비가 되려고 이러나.
Oh, my little cocoon. How big of a butterfly are you trying to become?
사슴이 사자 피해 도망치면 쓰레기야?
소라게가 잡아 먹힐까봐 숨으면 겁쟁이야?
다 살려고 숨은 거잖아…
미지도 살려고 숨은 거야.
암만 모양 빠지고 추잡해 보여도
살려고 하는 짓은 다 용감한 거야.
If a deer runs away from a lion, does that make it trash?
If a hermit crab hides in fear of being eaten, is it a coward?
They’re all trying to survive.
You’re hiding to survive too.
No matter how pathetic or messy it looks, anything you do to survive is brave.
🧑 Ho-su – Episode 5
나도 나를 못 믿었는데, 내가 올 거라고 믿고 계속 기다려준거야.
I didn’t even have faith in myself, but she kept waiting, believing that I’d come.
🧑 Ho-su – Episode 6
다 아는 게 아니잖아.
어떤 사정인지 모르면
그냥 입 다무는게 나을 때가 있다고 생각해.
We don’t know everything, do we?
And if you don’t know the full story,
it’s better to keep quiet sometimes.
🌸 Se-jin – Episode 6
지금 제일 휘둘리는건 본인 같아요...
그 얘기들은 가짜고, 저것들은 진짠데,
지금 가짜가 진짜보다 중요하다는 거잖아요.
You’re the one getting swayed the most right now.
Those rumors are fake, but those strawberries are real.
You’re saying something fake is more important than something real.
🌸 Se-jin – Episode 7
까보니까 이유가 우습잖아...
꽝 나올까봐 복원 안 긁는 바보가 어디 있어요?
근데 혹시 그런 바보인가 해서.
But those reasons are silly.
What fool doesn’t scratch a lottery ticket just because it might be a dud?
Hey... are you that fool?
근데 안 놓고 붙잡고 있으면, 다른 걸 못 잡잖아요.
그니까 조금이라도 기쁜거, 좋은 거, 즐거운 걸 잡읍시다.
But if you don’t let go, you can’t grab onto anything else.
So, let’s grab onto any happiness, goodness, or joy we can find.
아닌 걸 증명해서 뭐해.
그냥 내 옆에 있는 사람만 아닌 거 알면 되지.
There’s no point proving something that isn’t true.
If the people by your side know the truth, that’s enough.
🌸 Se-jin – Episode 8
원래 어두울 때 잘 보이는 것들이 있더라고요.
Some things are better seen in the dark.
💗 Bun-hong – Episode 11
사랑이라는건 이기고 지는 게 아니라,
지더라도 끝까지 한편 먹는 거라고.
백번이라도, 천번이라도 옆에서 함께 지는게 사랑이라고.
Love isn’t about winning or losing.
It’s about remaining on the same team until the very end — even if you lose.
Love is about staying together, even if you lose a hundred or a thousand times.
🌱 Gyeong-gu – Episode 7
완벽한 타이밍 같은 거는 없어.
세상에 완벽한 게 어딨냐!
There’s no such thing as perfect timing.
👴 Se-jin’s Grandpa – Episode 12
졸업이 끝이야?
졸업장 그거 원래 일 시작하려고 하는 건데,
일 시작한다며? 끝 본거지 그럼 왜 미련하게 종점까지 가?
너 내릴 때 내리는 거지.
그리고 끝이 뭐가 그리 중요해?
시작이 중요하지.
Is graduation the end?
People get a college diploma to help them start working.
You said you’re starting work now.
So, you saw it through the end.
You don’t stay on the bus until the last stop.
You get off when it’s your stop.
And... why is the end so important?
The beginning is what matters.
💜 Final Thoughts
Sometimes it’s not the story, but the words that stay.
And these words… they stayed with me.
If your heart feels tired, unsure, or in need of a quiet kind of comfort,
I hope you meet this drama.
It might just whisper something you didn’t know you needed to hear.
And who knows —
I might come back soon with more lines, or maybe an OST or two that still echo in my heart.
Let’s keep unfolding this story, together. ^^
With love,
Hangeulia 😊
