Even if I lose myself in the deepest maze,
I keep searching for your light.
Among roads that seem endless,
my heart still knows how to recognize you.
As if destiny were guiding me,
I keep walking without stopping,
because I know that at the end of this maze
there is you.
Through the words of this sweet song “Maze”, performed by South Korean singer Yongzoo, the track becomes one of the most evocative soundtracks of the romantic fantasy drama The King: Eternal Monarch, starring Lee Min-ho.
The ballad accompanies the most emotional moments in the story between Lee Gon and Jung Tae-eul, highlighting the central theme of the drama: a love that must cross parallel worlds and time in order to find itself again.
The meaning of the song “Maze”
“Maze” literally means labyrinth.
The lyrics use this image to describe:
- the search for love
- the destiny that connects two people
- the feeling of being lost while continuing to search for someone
A short passage from the song says:
“Though I go astray in the deepest maze… I’m the one who makes it real.”
Yongzoo’s voice moves between delicate notes and more intense moments, creating a feeling almost suspended in time, as if the protagonist were truly walking through an emotional labyrinth.
The song speaks about the determination to keep searching for someone even when everything seems confusing and unreachable. This theme perfectly reflects the heart of the drama: a love that must cross parallel dimensions, time, and destiny.
Released in 2020 as part of the official soundtrack of the drama, Maze quickly became one of the most listened-to tracks of the series.
The song accompanies the most introspective moments of the protagonist played by Lee Min-ho, who portrays Emperor Lee Gon, determined to overcome the barriers between two parallel worlds in order to find the woman he loves.
