Amaranth is the first studio album of the South Korean duo Davichi, released on January 28, 2008. Actress Lee Mi-yeon and former labelmate Lee Hyori starred in the music video for their debut single, "I Love You Even Though I Hate You". Many producers contributed to the album, including Cho Young-soo, Ahn Min-young, and Park Geun-tae.
Davichi chose not to appear in the music video for their debut single "I Love You Even Though I Hate You" and instead released a seven-minute-long mini drama directed by Cha Eun-taek. The plot of the music video was inspired by the movie Thelma & Louise.[1] The song was produced by esteemed balladist Ryu Jae-hyun, who also produced several songs for artists such as Vibe, SG Wannabe, and F.T. Island.
Their next single, "Sad Promise" was re-released as a remixed dance single, giving the opportunity for Davichi to showcase a more lively side of themselves. The music video was a continuation of their previous release and again featured Lee Mi-yeon and Lee Hyori.[2]
After a short break, a repackage of the album was released, titled, Vivid Summer Edition. The repackage included two new songs and a remix of previous single "Sad Promise". Singer Haha lent his vocals to the single "Love and War", an upbeat pop-dance song.[3] On the music video of "Love and War", Ham Jae-hee (함재희) an actor, Hong Jin-young (홍진영) an actress and Song Ji-in (송지인) an actress appeared. The single became a hit and the duo was awarded number ones on Music Bank, M! Countdown, and Inkigayo.
