The lyrics you were confused about. She is basically quoting the guy. In short he said he hopes she will be OK and eventually sleeps well. That she finds someone who loves her more than she loves herself. He is also sorry that it couldn't be him. And her answer is that those words are hurtful. She asks him if he is sure about his feelings and is sad that she didn't have a chance to show him how much she cared about him. Video ends with him cutting his ties to her and falling away from the symbolic place in clouds they build together. And she is left hurt, having to slowly cut her emotional ties to him as well. I guess you have to experience this kind of a breakup to understand the lyrics on the first listen. Also lack of quotation in english lyrics is somewhat confusing but understandable. Normally you listen to the song, not read it. I'm guessing it was written to be confusing on purpose. On first listen you should think it's her words and then have a sad "Oh..." moment when she starts singing her answer to him.

He is highest paid actor in Korea. Love all his movies and her clear voice.

It’s break up song. Ending scene portrays the “scenes” during a break up when a person reminisce his/her happy and sad moments with the one he/she loves. Remembering those conversations and past promises. If you watch it again, you will notice different scenes before the string scene. The string is the love/emotions that binds them together. You can see a drifting scene, shaking/falling scene and cutting scene after the each memory scene. It only means that memories alone cannot save a relationship if the other is already fallen out of love. In the end, you’ll just have to cut everything. Kim Soo Hyun’s line is like an ex boyfriend message during the course of a break up. (You’ll find someone, please eat healthy, you’ll be able to sleep again, etc.) Like it is so easy to do :P Ending scene is like an usual ending scene in a break up. :)

"i'm sorry it wasn't me" DAAAAAMN that line rlly got me when i first heard this and every time that line plays i like translate it in my head ultimately again hurting myself.

Dude, the main actor in this is one of the best actors in the kdrama industry. Best friends with I.U. You should definitely check out his NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES, ITS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY. It’s a really dark, sad kdrama, it will fit your vibe. Definitely after My Mister, check this kdrama out. Deadass, this show made me cry like 10 times, it was so dark and so sad, but with great acting. Also, really funny.😅 For the ones that got triggered: IU*💀

What i got from this is they are watching their memories from the first day they met to the last day they were together which is day 999. It wasn't a toxic relationship or breakup, they just realized they were too different from each other so they kind of drifted apart. So they are each cutting their own strings from each other to symbolize that it was a mutual thing and that they want each other to find the person who is more like them and to be happy.

I knew about this song thanks to Jungkook's covers of it (he did two, each with a different arrangement).. and when I listened to the original it became one of my favourite songs by IU, she sang it so beautifully..

From what I understand, those stings attached to each of them are the happy memories together, and them sort of flying means the dreamy stage of a relationship. In the end where they cut off each other's & their own strings mean that they are trying to forget those memories, and falling off from the dreamy state. Those rewinds of happy scenes represent the process of erasing those memories after a break up. Yes, that is a theater, and both of them are reminiscing their past relationship from there. Also, the channel numbers on the top left corner mean the days of their relationship together.

This song grows on you, once you listen to this couple more times the melody will get stuck in your head and IU’s powerful vocals will resonate through you, of course listen to it with your eyes closed or maybe lay in bed for the best experience. Something about her pouring her heart out in this song gets me, such beautiful vocals with emotional instruments

If you're still watching Hotel del luna, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT MAN'S(KIM SOO HYUN) FACE

If you want can you check out "IU - Dear Moon on Yu Huiyeol's sketchbook" It's one of My MIster's OSTs and IU wrote the lyrics for the song.

The lyrics in this song tell the story of a couple who have to separate. But the man (Kim So Hyun) advised that the two of them would be fine even if they had to separate, and the man would always pray that the woman could get her happiness. But still, the woman felt even more sad to hear the words of her lover. And in the end, they both had to separate because that was the best decision for both of them.

I always end up smiling and happy whenever i see people doing iu reaction..because it means, she's gaining fan. I remember the old days where iu mv max view could only be 3 millions..so yeah im happy people finally listen to her music 🎶

This is my favorite deep meaning song from IU. Well IU wrotes many deep meaningful lyrics on her songs, but this explains the painful of breakup really well. She wrote all the confusing feelings and emotions that hard to explain while someone going through breakup

Finally you reacted to this, love your reaction to IU....

The actor here is dream high lead actor. They knew each other through dream high

This song is about a breakup. IU say that hopefully people can relate to this song. I think that this song is based on IU's breakup with Jang KiHa in 2017, but she never say that.

Hey Aaron! If I could make a small suggestion, it would be so cool if you watched a live stage of IU's songs along with the MV. I always enjoy her live singing even more than the MVs. If not, that's fine, keep up the good work! I recommend Lullaby, Dear Name, Hold My Hand Live Clip, Red Queen, etc

IU again yeayyy !! love it 💜 so many great songs from her, can't wait for another reaction abt her musics

I love IU and you're one of my favourite reactors so I really enjoy your reactions to her. I'll look forward to more IU reactions! :)

Kim Soo Hyun and IU are best friends since Dream High drama ✨

I am so happy when I see your new reaction on IU. But this MV made me so so sad.

hope u'll be reacting to its okay to not be okay. he is the actor in that drama! a very interesting drama! hope u can check that out!

oh, thanks for the reaction! I will continue to recommend songs such as Rain drop and Herat, especially live version, when she sang it at the end of her concert , also these songs haven't MV, sooo 🙃

The guy is IU's close friend since dream high

The channels on the left corner represents the days they've known each other/been together, so that's why it seems like the emotions jump so much. It's different part of their relationship. Also I believe the strings represent the attachment to their relationship. They're cutting the strings at the end of the relationship.

Both of them starred in Dream High and The Producers 😁

the actor w IU is actually her IRL friend named Kim SoHyun, they we’re in kdramas together such as DREAM HIGH and PRODUCERS and most recently, Hotel Del Luna, where he made a cameo in the last episode, and its also the first kdrama he’s starred/seen ever since he got discharged from the military so it really shows how good of friends they are !!

Thanks for another reaction I really like it I always check your channel if there is a new one for iu

Pil Sook & Sam Dong ♡ You know what I mean

IU 🤩

OMG YESSSSSSS FINALLY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS THANK U

Idk why but this song is the most painful for me to listen to, of all IUs songs Its really heartbreaking

thank you for your honest reaction to this song! NOW, PLS REACT TO IU'S HOLD MY HAND LIVE CLIP. YOU HAVE TO. THANKS.

I really really love this song. One of my favs by iu

Watch the series Long Dream, this series is about people who study in the field of music and iu and this actor played roles in this series. (sorry for my bad English!)

This is one of my favorite IU tracks, alongside her song knees is one beautiful piece and the lyrics are just so meaningful. I hope you check it out from the special clip.

the song is simply about how they met each each after their breakup as it starts with the line, 'hi, its been a long time' therefore the awkward handshake in the beginning with her in short hair. they go through all their memories together, he says that eventually you will be fine, and live just as you were living before me, 'will sleep again' and that you will find someone you loves you again. he is essentially saying, i am not right for you and is cutting any ties with her (hence the suspended in the clouds scene) but she replies (which is the chorus) that those words hurt more, just be honest, are you sure this is the end. the music video ends with him successfully cutting ties and moving on, whereas she is unable to do so and is hesitant cause of lingering feeling.

IU 💜💜💜💜💜💜

*Pls REACT High4, IU -Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms*

Jungkook has covered this song so beautifully that to not only once but two times

Thank you for reacting to this MV. The actor is my favourite. Please react to Dear Name , Rain drop, You and I, Above the time.

aaron you should react to jungkook cover iu song,jungkook also cover this song i hope you react to it

Nooooo way!😍yey this video

You might want to check out ‘Dear Name’ special clip next then her MMA 2017 performance 😍😍😍. Btw, Palette, Ending Scene, Through the night and Dear Name are all from her palette album.

Thank you for reacting to my favorite song of IU... This song broke my heart the first time I listen to it. I guess you have to come from a similar place to connect to the song. The lyrics were actually pretty straight forward the verses were what the guy had told the girl in the past when they broke up. And the chorus were what her thoughts and her reaction to those words. It's boys classic excuse when they want to break up "it's not you it's me.", "I need to search myself", or "you are too good for me, I think you deserve someone better." It's very heart breaking to know that IU is the person who is writing the songs and most likely had experience this first hand, how else could she penned it and sang it so beautifully... Some asshole told her this lines in the past makes me throw fist in the air. But I'm sure they're both over it and she's in a good place now. And if it's true then that boy truly doesn't deserve her.

The song is about a break-up. She was reviewing the memories of their time together (hence the cinema setting with the seats) before finally letting go as symbolized by the former couple cutting off their strings.

IU is quoting his lines with her lyrics 🥺

Basically the song is about at the breaking stage of relationship

I agree Aaron, you can't really connect to this song (at first listen) because you're trying to figure out everything lol It was too much, understandable, but yes please give it another listen, a live performance as you said. You'd be surprise just how powerful this song is. And we'd love to see your reaction for the live performance as well :D

I came to know of this song through JK’s cover. Love IU and her voice so much. Really deserving of all the love she receives

I love this actor soo much

If u read the english translation while listening it will be impossible not to cry

We have the same reaction the first time I watched this music video it seems kinda confusing or something. You're right they are like watching in the cinema , watching their memories and one by one they cut it off the strings symbolize the memories that they had. Thank you for another reaction video of IU and looking forward for more IU content 😉 Please react to Dear name and through the night live MMA2017 and hold my hand love poem concert live clip

I see IU i click~ ❤💛

I like IU ❤️💘

Kim soo hyun😍

Please react to her live performance of this

Hello aaron. Thank you for your good reaction to iu as always. Please do react to iu best vocal compilation please. You will be able to witness iu perfectly singing in different genres....really love her angelic voice and the way she touches our hearts through her music.....

I have to get ready for school in 5 min 😭.... But nah school can wait😂

IU and That guy filmed a drama , called K-drama Producer (2015) . IU played the role of a idol called Cindy . They have just started making chemisty throughout the drama. This mv deserves to be called season 2. but sad ending. 😢😢😢

To sum the explanation of this song, the guy looked really happy but deep inside, he's uncertain with the girl. So, to avoid deeper wounds that the girl can get from him, he cut off his own string with the girl as they were already cutting off (hurting) each other's feelings. It was like letting go off the certain feelings and pain towards the happiness they've had in the past.

please react to her performance in melon music award 2017

This song puts me in my feelings and I don't know how I feel about it 😂

Hey Aaron! Since you've checked out three songs from the IU's Palette album now [Palette, Through The Night, Ending Scene] I highly suggest you might as well react to the whole album - maybe a listening party?! It's such a feel-good relaxing album! I may be wrong but I think she won Album of the Year...but even if she didn't, this album is as good as one.

please react to the red shoes ~

WHAT?!?! Seriously bro?!? I loooveee this song😍😍 Btw when are you reacting to the 'Friday' MV?

This reminds me when she sang this song in her concert. It was during her en-encore stage I guess. Her live performance is so so beautiful. Like you, I also did not feel the connection in the MV and don't have much impact to me but after watching the live performance, it hits differently and you feel more connected to the song. Well, i wanna share how I feel that time and putting the link below. Hope you react on the live performance on this one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZOaf8Z_0L2uk3U.html

May I know does he reads the comment? Because I'm checking comments rn and I haven't seen him liking a comment yet. So I don't know if I try to help explain what the MV mean if he will read it. Cause it seems like he's not reading comments at all. I'm sorry just new here I'm not used to seeing comments without a single like from a youtuber. I'm not saying they have to like every comment, its just kinda an indicator to me that at least they have read some comments.I want to say something about the MV and song but it seem like some people have already done it. I'm new to this channel please correct me if I'm wrong.
