                                       DESTINY’S CHILD

Remember the first day when I saw your face
remember the first day when you smiled at me
you stepped to me and you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
remember the first day when you called my house
remember the first day when you took me out
we had butterflies although we tried to hide
and we both had a beautiful night

He looks at me and his brown eyes tell his soul

Fun and harmless night
Took a turn for the worst
Chaos, traffic lights
Turned into a fight for life
Frantically trying to think fast
To put the pedal on the gas
Trying to stop what he saw coming
To keep their hearts alive and drumming
A truck slid past, it all went by so fast
Car crash
Before that moment, his girl was so happy
With the wind in her hair
In the world, not a care
Except for him of course
An end was put to that night
She shivered in fright
She had never been so scared in her life
Sirens in the distance
Parametics in sight
She kissed him on the cheek
And cried as she looked at him..
All the life sucked out of him
She was overcome and weak
After that night she`d never take anything for granted
Ever again
Spend every moment with him she can
She sobbed on her friends shoulder
As the time passed by
She got by with only scrapes
But felt as if she were hit by a boulder
She`d give her life for his
Just to know he`d live
All out of tears
And overcome by fear
As the nurse with the blue jacket, called her in
She saw him
In an awful coma
Just lying there, wrapped in tubes and on machines
She wishes it was all a dream
The nurse tells her, it`s a slim chance he will survive
She screams and insist it`s all a lie
Tightening her grip to his bedside
She began talking and talking
Even though theres no saying, if he could hear
Holding on to her pink trimmed stockings
Hoping for a miracle to appear
She sat there, pouring her heart out to him
Telling him what they`d do if he lived
They`d buy the biggest house by the shore
Not only three but four floors
With a pool so large you could swear you`re in the sea
She never gave up hope and got down on her knee
She weeped while she told him she loved him more than life itself
This night was such a living hell
She told his unconcious self, “if you love me, if you`re there, squeeze my hand”
After 5 long minutes that seemed like forever
This was a moment that no one could understand
He practically cut off her circulation with that love-binding squeeze
Her voice was keeping him alive
He opened his eyes
As the life filled back into his body
Strong and true
He whispered, “I`m not going anywhere, as long as I have you.”

ABOUT Set in an alternate 21st-century reality where Korea possesses a royal family, this show revolves around the lives of the Crown Prince Lee Shin, and his new bride, Chae-kyeong. The depicted royal family in the show is modelled after the last royal family of Korea, which in reality reigned until the start of the Japanese Occupation in 1911 and was not reinstated after Japanese surrender in WW2.

The series starts off with the news that the King, Shin’s father, is severely ill. With the grim outlook on the King’s health, the royal family scrambles to find a wife for Shin, so as to allow him to take over the royal throne if the situation requires so. Despite being in love with another girl, the ambitious and talented ballerina Hyo-rin, who Shin initially proposed to. She, however, rejects him to pursue her ballet dreams. Shin eventually marries an average girl who he was betrothed to by his late grandfather in an old agreement with hers, the headstrong yet lovable Chae-kyeong, after he was rejected by Hyo-rin. Despite initially feeling nothing for Chae-kyeong, love eventually blossoms between the couple.

In the meantime, however, matters are further complicated with the return of Lee Yool and his mother Lady Hwa-Yong, who was once the Crown Princess before the death of her husband the late Crown Prince, who was the older brother of the current King. Yool and his mother were chased out of the palace some time after the death of his father and her husband respectively, and it is later revealed that it was so as the King had found out about the affair between Yool’s mother and Yool’s uncle, the current King. Yool’s mother had returned with a sinister motive in mind; to restore her son back to the throne, which would have been his eventually, if his father had not died. A flurry of events descend upon the palace with the schemes Yool’s mother carries out, and is further intensified by the various scandals involving the royal family, which are inclusive of the Shin’s continuing relationship with his old flame Hyo-rin, and the budding love Yool develops for Chae-kyeong, his cousin’s new found bride.

The first series ends with the Shin letting his elder sister Hyae Myeong ascend the throne, the ‘real’ marriage of Shin with Chae-kyeong in Macau, and the possibility that Chae-kyeong is pregnant with Shin’s baby.

Shin Chae-kyeong

Shin Chae-kyeong is a very effervescent, normal high school girl. She attends the same school as Lee Shin, the Crown Prince of Korea. Her grandfather was best friends with the previous King. To honor his friend, the previous King dictated that Chae-kyeong is to become the Crown Princess, which means that she is to marry whoever is the Crown Prince at the time of the marriage. Although she often seems immature and irritating, she is a kindhearted, innocent, honest person. Often called "Pig" by her younger brother, Chae-kyeong marries the prince to save her family from bankruptcy. Her initial reaction to Lee Shin is one of irritation but she falls in love with him in the earlier part of the series, not knowing that he, in return, feels the same way, until the last few episodes.

Lee Shin

The crown prince of Korea, Lee Shin, is seen as a smug, indifferent, insensitive young man. After getting rejected by his girlfriend when he proposes to her, he decides to go along with his elders’ arranged marriage with Shin Chae-kyeong. At first, he was irritated by her naivete and enthusiasm, but as he recognizes how genuinely sweet she is, he begins to open his heart to her, and falls in love. Throughout the series, it becomes obvious that inside, he is just a lonely, sensitive, warm and kind young man. He also owns a teddy bear, the only thing that he can let his guard down for, which is used as a focal point throughout the series. As his cousin re-enters the picture after being forced out of the country many years earlier, the prince quickly butts head with him, as Lee Yool is a contender not only for the throne, but for the crown princess Chae-kyeong’s love. Chae-kyeong does not realize this until later on in the story.

Lee Yool

Lee Yool, Shin’s older cousin. He returns from a long stay in England with his mother, a former ballerina and the widow of the former crown prince. The opposite of Shin, he is warm, kindhearted, sweet, and romantic–an instant hit with the girls. Interested in Chae-kyeong, their friendship grows to love on his side, while she remains innocently unaware of it until much later. Although the position of the Crown Prince originally belonged to him, it was given to his cousin when Yool’s father died in a car accident and his mother was found to have had an affair with his uncle, who she was originally in love with, but she decides to marry his brother,the crown prince, wanting her son to inherit the title of crown prince. Originally uninterested in the throne, Yool decides to follow his mother’s wishes and compete with Shin for the throne after falling in love with Chae-kyeong. In the end, after realizing that Chae-kyeong and Shin truly love each other, he passes up both the chance of being King and having Chae-kyeong as a wife, as he only wants her to be happy with Shin.

Min Hyo-rin

Hyo-rin is a skilled ballerina. She is beautiful, intelligent, accomplished–basically, perfect in every way possible. In the beginning, she is Shin’s girlfriend, and he proposes to her. However, she rejects him, not only because she thinks he is joking, but also because she does not wish to give up her dreams of becoming a star ballerina. When she sees Chae-kyeong and Shin’s wedding and how Chae-kyeong is loved by the people (similar to Princess Diana), she regrets her hasty decision, and does everything she can to oust Chae-kyeong from her position. Hyo-rin finds ways to draw Shin back to her, including a "chance" meeting in Thailand, but simply ends up hurting herself, resulting in attempting suicide. Later, however, she decides that Shin does truly love Chae-kyeong, and she ultimately gives him up and decides to just concentrate on her ballet.
