Wong Fu Productions and David Choi team up for yet another music video. Their latest collaboration is for David Choi’s single “Lucky Guy” off his Forever & Ever album. The music videos just seem to get bigger and bigger. (Don’t read futher if you don’t want spoilers from the vidoe.) In the music video for “Lucky Guy,” David Choi plays his music at a senior center as his heart-wrenching song comes to life with a Wong Fu Production twist. Although the song is from the perspective of a heartbroken man, the storyline takes the positive route of being the “lucky one” rather than the sad path of losing someone special. Here’s more about the video:
We lead the viewer to first believe that the old man in the beginning is the young man sitting in the car, writing the letter. He gets his heart broken as the girl he’s confessing to says that she cannot be with him, because she already has chosen another man. From that point, the story shifts focus onto this new young man, which we initially are not happy about, until we realize that the old man is actually the man she chose. Furthermore, as the lyrics encouraged, “he did make her his wife” because he knew “that he’s the lucky guy”. And in the end, rather than being another sad story, the video becomes a beautiful example of a man and woman who truly loved each other, appreciated each other, and had a happy life together.
They went all out on this production from visual effect to change eye color to wardrobe to fit the 1960s to hair and make up to match that Mad Men look. It’s yet another successful production between David Choi x Wong Fu Productions.

Lyrics to Lucky Guy by David Choi
It’s been so long since I’ve met someone
That makes me feel this way
Makes me smile, and that’s hard to do
I don’t think it’s something you realize you do
You make me feel
Like I’m the only guy
With you in the world
But we can’t be together
Can’t really be friends
We can’t be lovers
And we can’t pretend
Oh that boy in your life
Better make you his wife
And he better believe he’s a lucky guy
You wanted a song well here’s one for you
Nobody will know except for us two
Don’t ask me about it
Cuz I won’t tell the truth
Just know that there’s someone
Thinking of you
You make me feel
Something I wish wasn’t real at all
Chorus
You were never mine to begin with…
So we can’t be together
Can’t really be friends
We can’t be lovers
And we can’t pretend
Oh that boy in your life
Better make you his wife
And he better believe he’s a lucky guy
