Favourite OSTs

I have to admit, I'm not someone who pays much attention to the soundtracks of dramas. Probably, the only time I notice them is when they're really good or really bad. Of course, tastes are subjective.

So, today I wanted to share the most memorable OSTs from the kdramas I've seen.

My criteria is that I like the song and remember which drama it was from. Maybe that's why a lot of it is ballads, but I'll try to pick some various songs.

Let's be honest some of the soundtracks sound very similar even though they're from different dramas.

Even after all these years, the song is still so good. All of the Goblin OSTs are amazing but this one has to be my favourite (the song started my playlist of kdrama osts, so I cannot just forget about it).

It's what I usually enjoy in the songs; emotional ballads that are sung beautifully. It also made me discover Sam Kim's other songs which I'm very happy about.

Obviously, Goblin became such a classic at this point that I could not leave it out.

Honourable mentions: Chanyeol, Punch - Stay With Me; Crush - Beautiful.

This is probably the most underrated drama (When the Devil Calls Your Name) but even if you didn't like the drama you can't deny that the soundtrack is amazing.

I had such a hard time choosing which song I wanted to put in the post because they're all so good. You can feel the emotions in the singers' voices and it captivates you from beginning to end.

In the end, I chose this song because it gives such a nostalgic feeling. It reminds me of the songs you would hear in the 80s (not that I lived at the time but I'm just vibing).

Honourable mentions: Sondia - You Bring No Sadness; Chung Kyung Ho - Where is My Dream.

It always brings me back to Crash Landing On You. To the moment, where the female lead is singing for the soldiers before she departs N. Korea. I believe it's such a talent to bring such strong memories with just a song, and it's been years since I watched the drama.

This is another slower song, and sounds quite simple to the ear but that is what makes this song even more beautiful to me. I remember reading that it also has arirang tunes in the background, so it brings more authenticity to the song and brings you back to Korean culture.

Honourable mentions: 10cm - But it's Destiny; Yoon Mirae - Flower

The funny thing is that I didn't enjoy this drama (Let Me Be Your Knight) much. I don't even remember much from it but the fake bands' songs hit differently. You know this song exists just for this one not-so-good drama and they went all in.

If you like Day6, Lucy, The Rose or some other bands I feel like you might enjoy this one. I still don't know why it's a beautiful breakup or anything else but the vibes are great to it.

Also while reminding myself of such a great song I found out that they have a few other songs. I knew about some of them and nothing hits as hard as Beautiful Breakup but a non-existent group can still shock me. (It was Rock & Roll Tonight if someone is curious)

Honourable mentions: Luna - Love Paranoia.

I have to bring this one from Lovely Runner. A lot of people might be surprised that I'm not putting Sudden Showers at the top but as much as I love it Spring Snow overpowers it.

Somehow I feel so nostalgic listening to the song as if I'm the one who's slowly falling in love with someone. It makes me feel this calm and acceptance of something that even I can't understand.

Honourable mentions: Eclipse - Sudden Showers; Eclipse - Run Run.
