Just A Few Words:
I didn't listen to this earlier because I didn't have the time when it first came out. However, after listening to Wendy's cover of Taylor Swift's "Speak Now", I just had to check it out! I don't know about you, but Wendy is now my bias!

English: 10 /10
There's no English in the song (though I doubt it would be fine seeing as how her cover of "Speak Now" went and that she was raised in Canada as an English speaker) but the English in the title is fine.
Translation Difficulty: 4 / 10
Ballads are always a little difficult for me just because I'm not good with Korean imagery. I'm not exactly sure what some of it means, much like a Korean speaker translating an English song might not understand our imagery. Also lines like "외로웠었던 나의 메마른 그 두 눈에" doesn't translate well into English.
