Acting in a Music Video: 지동국(Ji Dong Kuk) - '돌아가는 길' (The Way Back to You) M/V

I'm so happy about this music video. I love every aspect of it... the song, the singer, the story concept... and the role I got to play in it.

I'm sorry that I do not have an English translation of the lyrics but I have supplied below a synopsis of the story. 

The singer is Ji Dong Kuk, a relatively new singer on the Korean pop scene. He is a lovely person with a beautiful voice too! Please feel free to give him your support - "LIKE" his videos, pages and become a fan! 

My role is the librarian in a library somewhere in "heaven". She is the keeper of people's souls. After they pass they arrive at the library and their life stories are remembered in the books that they become. The librarian tends to the books. 

The story is a bittersweet love story: After declaring their love for each other and making plans to meet up, the young girl is hit by a car. She ascends to the library where she sees other souls who have passed. She notices the books and finds one with her boyfriends' name on it. As she reads it she begins to understand that he is completely heartbroken by the loss and is planning to take his own life. 

The young girl is horrified and begs the librarian to stop him. The librarian feels her sadness and sympathizes with her but is powerless to change anyone's fate. She is simply the keeper of the books.

The young man jumps off a bridge hoping to meet his beloved again. He succeeds and they meet again in the library. At first the young girl is angry at him for taking his life but he consoles her and they are bound together again. Their life stories are secured as books. The video ends with the librarian saving their books on a shelf with all the others.
