The song is filled with feelings of cherishing a special time for just the two of them and caring for one another, leaving a gentle, heartwarming afterglow.

I’m sure those who watched the drama feel especially attached to it.

It Has To Be YouABOUT
The drama’s theme is a family that stakes their lives on the exam war.
In Korea, incredible things happen when the February exam season arrives.
Police cars come out to take the kids to their test sites! Getting into university is even more important there than in Japan.
The drama portrays, very realistically, overzealous tiger moms and dads and the children who suffer because of them.
When I listen to “It has to be you,” it sounds like it’s saying, “I’m going to get into that university.”
Changmin (2AM)Moment
