볼만한 멜로드라마
괜찮은 결말
A melodrama that’s worth the watch with a pretty decent ending
볼만한: Worth watching 멜로드라마: Melodrama (konglish) 괜찮: Good, fine, nice 결말: end, finish
그거면 됐다 널 사랑했다
That’s enough for me. I loved you.
그거:that 면: a particle that adds “if” If you added 면, it gives the effect of “if”, meaning “if one thing happens, then this (along with several other meanings but this one is used in this phrase)”. It’s added to 그거 to basically mean “if that (”that” is their love being a melodrama with a good ending, basically the previous lines), then it’s enough for me”. If our love was like that, then it’s enough for me/all I needed. I’m satisfied with that. 됐다: done, enough 널: you (less formal) 사랑했다: (past tense of) to love, care for (thus: to have loved, I love, you loved)

이젠 : now 조명이: lights (with subject particle) 꺼지고: to go out, be distinguished 마지막: the last 페이지를: a page (with object particle) 넘기: turn over 면: a verb particle that adds “if/when” Again, this particle is basically saying “when 넘기 (i.e. when the last page is turned over) then ____ (here the blank refers to the next line, saying when the last page is turned then the curtain will fall) 조용히: silently, quietly 막을: just 내리죠: fall, come down
Note none of these words mean curtain, so I’m thinking the listener is supposed to assume they mean the curtain is what’s falling. Also because 막 is added, this lyric could also mean when the last page turns, it just ends/it’s just over, implying there’s nothing more to do with the relationship after it’s over.
