SOP Queen OP Theme: "Like Being Alone" by Joe Chen Qiao En

It took awhile for me to warm up to this series, but I got mesmerized by her hair (oh, she's not poor this time!)... so I stayed. Then Hans Zhang showed up, though the England scenes were meh, the long distance scenes with his would-be tenant were SO. CUTE. Dramaland needs to more have more half-imaginary conversations between its OTPs, for the sake of my shipper heart world peace. Really! Rainbows and Peter Rabbits FTW.
Best friends and lovers, what more could one ask for? *sobs as she realizes this series has come to an end* Bye bye my perfectly matched OTP, you will be dearly missed.

Fan-made MV:
Song Title: "喜歡孤獨" (Like Being Alone)
Artist: Joe Chen Qiao En
Lyricist: Joe Chen Qiao En
Composer: Jeremy Ji Jia Song (aka. BlueJ / JeremyG)
Translated Lyrics:
Sunny day or rainy day
I just want to stay at home with my cat
Dinner's at 7 and I have a date with myself

Sad day or happy day
I'm not ignoring you on purpose, 
Just don't want to be anyone's pet
Women are sometimes like children
Childish~
Throwing the occasional tantrum

Only one step away from love, baby
 But this happiness seems too rushed
Maybe I'm just not accustomed to love's temperature, woo~
Only one step away from love
I'm not sure about it, since I like being alone
Maybe I don't care, and I don't mind
'Cause everything is gonna be alright

Someday or everyday
Today's a nice day to stay at home and meet Socrates
I plan to disappear with my invisibility cloak

Sad day or happy day
Still thinking of the movie date we had that day
Cried till my eyes were swollen like a puffer fish
A few marbles short, I'm a little crazy

Only one step away from love, baby
I'm not sure about it, since I like being alone
Maybe I don't really wanna be with you, woo~

Only one step away from love, baby
You said you seldom make mistakes
Baby I don't care, and I don't mind
'Cause everything is gonna be alright

We're only one step away from love, baby
Careful not to get lost
Maybe we're both adjusting to love's temperature
When love begins to chase
And your concern feels forced
Baby I don't care, and I don't mind
'Cause everything is gonna be alright

TRANSLATION NOTES:  There's one line in particular that has 3 different versions, even from the official source (i.e in the drama) itself. The line I'm talking about is "I plan to disappear with my invisibility cloak." Puntastic, isn't it? Take your pick between "I plan to", "My umbrella" and "Botasan" (the fuck?) - I've decided on the logical one.
