OSTs/Songs Featured in a Drama

I love this drama. So sweet and happy, just like its music. As much as I dislike the lazy writing of love triangles to create tension, WFKBJ did it right.  

A favorite scene is the reversal of the trope where the male lead swings the female lead out of danger: instead, our male lead flips the female lead full on into the water spray of an oncoming car, and hides behind her! The realization of reciprocal love comes naturally and slowly. Finally, a romance done right.

I always picture that tiny, bubbly girl running after her big, stoic boy whenever I hear this song.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IIQvvi8C7aM ("Just Like a Dream" by BEN)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=q5EcE3zTmJc ("Freak Show" by Jeon Soyeon)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=_cd6AOQ19bg (Entire album)

The entire album is as pretty and appealing as Shin Hye Sun.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu5tyyiO0x4 ("Run Run" by Eclipse)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=vDE8TqoFRdk ("Blooming Story" by Tearliner, featuring Jo HaeJin)

I wanted to like this drama, but it lost its way. The second season imploded all the goodness of the first season. Good intentions splattered everywhere.

I've not seen the drama, as it isn't shown on any service I have. If the drama is as good as the OST, I have a treat ahead of me; although, many reviews warn of heartbreak ahead.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=8kIuLME_eJI ("With You" by Jimin and Ha Sung Woon)

Here's another drama I've not seen but have fallen in love with a song from it. I keep putting off watching, because it sounds like something I'd enjoy. I know that's odd. My rationalization is that I don't want to see all the best dramas or read all the best books and not have anything to look forward to. I save special things as a treat. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FrOLeoXrvLU ("Running" by Gaho)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=zp2bjMWFeFE (Like a Star by Do Young)

I didn't make it far watching Yumi's Cells. I wasn't enthralled by the animation. Also, I'd watched Itaewon Class, and it was hard for me to see Ahn Bo Hyun as the romantic lead. I had a visceral reaction of repulsion!  He played a villain well. Since then, I've seen him in a more favorable light in other dramas, so I'll try again when I'm in the mood. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=NaXPWhUDYe0 ("Love So Fine" by Cha Eun Woo)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=6lptWFCYxg8 ("I'm Missing You by Sun Jae)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=qtRexwdaBII ("I'm in the Mood for Dancing" by Yuju)

https://music.youtube.com/search?q=cinderella+and+the+four+knights+ost (Entire album)

This is another OST with catchy songs I often play. This OST and Boys over Flowers are great for housecleaning. 

https://music.youtube.com/search?q=crash+landing+on+you+ost (Entire album)

So many good songs. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=owQzUEVO80s ("Eternal Love" by Michael Learns to Rock) 

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpoOGrZcQ62BKIb68tSSdEPcdkIWMQ-Ks (Entire album; favorites are "Everytime" by Chen and Punch, "This Love" by Davichi, "Always" by Yoon Mi Rae)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ucp3_ATftR4 ("Breaking Down" by Ailee)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=qtRexwdaBII (Goodbye, My Love by Ailee)

I don't even know what the lyrics say, but Ailee's voice captures the sorrow of the character. Ailee sings quite a few of my favorite drama songs. ("I Will Go to You Like the First Snow" from Goblin; "Breaking Down" from Doom at your Service)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=_qiXslXy2sg ("Thumping" by Kim Min Seung)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mOxC6ge41ZZLO_nbdU6RXSKUjWK8J7u2Q (Entire album)

Favorites are "I Love You Boy" by Suzy, "When Night Falls" by Eddy Kim, "It's You" by Henry.

I was surprised by the music in this web series. I don't expect as much from a lower-budget endeavor, but the lyrics and music fit beautifully with this small drama.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=e6WW5FesIBA ("Psycho" by Doko)

This song gives me the creeps. It's so appropriate for the drama. I've been stuck on episode 13 for some time now, because my heart won't let me watch more at the moment. When I get brave, I'll complete the drama.  It's so good, but I'm invested in the characters, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt.   

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bKIu8S6kj8E ("Feel You" by Shin Yong Jae)

All the feels (as the kids used to say).

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=G1YWgE8mKPA (Entire album)

Perfect OST for a great drama.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=uLfLbtulKZc ("It's Definitely You" by V and Jin)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kx77lBXO5pj7OKvJqe2CnWx2FhyLvHVD0 (Entire album)

The music complemented the drama beautifully.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=NaXPWhUDYe0 ("The Woman" by Baek Ji Young)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=-a65keIFJfI ("Love Paranoia" by Luna; was not OST)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=KhOYCNS5nFI ("Beautiful Breakup" by Luna; was not OST)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj7FN00GFFA ("The Flavor of Life" by Utada Hikaru)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mAYWyTJOmplBFw4pUAwMHHSkaGKEbnQ4M (Entire album)

I like the entire OST. I play it often.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=WK-2OMDXqLw ("True" by Yoari)

I began waking up with a tune in my head. That earworm would begin when I was working on other things throughout the day. It haunted me!  I began going through OSTs trying to find it to no avail. Finally, I was listening to a compilation that had been auto-suggested to me, and there it was:

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=56bcYIcrF4Q ("Same" by Song Ji Eun and Sung Hoon)

Since then, I've played it so often, the children sing along with it; they don't know a word of Korean, but they sing it with gusto!

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=EcjFsBl4lGI ("Yours" by Jin of BTS)

Confession: I've not viewed this drama, yet. However, I've been enchanted by its theme song. So much emotion. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lj8TV9q59P4 ("Christmas Tree" by V)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=-ir2IflOHv4 ("It's You" by Jeong Sewoon)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n6tw7WXYNydc_uSWpDJYjcfaNENvEoycw (Entire album)

I've appreciated many of the leads' works, but this drama didn't appeal to me the way it should have. It had everything: appealing actors, breathtaking cinematography, and a beautiful OST. It still fell short for me, but I listen to the OST often. Lovely music. A rarity to have such a solid OST.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=syLp6aS5Z-k ("Beautiful Lady" by Jong Hyun)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CuPG6-RSwe4 ("Love is Like That" by Kei)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=dpPL9b6mC14 ("Darling U" by Kim Tae Woo and BEN)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uxa4aIN0kg (Entire album)

I didn't love QoT as much as the K-drama community did. Perhaps it was overhyped, and I had unrealistic expectations. I may like it better on a second viewing. At the very least, the female lead was intelligent and not a shrinking violet who believed everything told her and who allowed people to use her.

The OST was outstanding. I listen to "Falling" by Hong Isaac frequently. And "Tell Me It's not a Dream" by 10CM. Also "Hold Me Back" by Heize. Can't leave out "Love You with All My Heart" by Crush. Have to add "Can't Get Over You" by Paul Kim. I like "From Bottom of my Heart" by Kim Na Young. "Last Chance" by So Soo Bin is good, too. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=rWUZ1n4LznE ("Best Luck" by Chen)

It's not original to the drama, but a song in English features prominently, and it's most associated in my mind to the character and his struggles: 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=aoiqgNp9Ir0 ("Hero" by Family of the Year). 

https://music.youtube.com/search?q=a+time+called+you+seo ("Gather My Tears" by Seo Ji Won)

The song plays an integral part in the drama. I was saddened to learn the singer Seo Ji Won committed suicide shortly after recording the song. He was so young and talented. Rest in Peace.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=XcUOaNnooU0 ("When I Saw You" by BumKey)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ5CINIUeSw ("Love" by Lyn and Hanhae)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=1yqKYt2C0Hk ("The Longing Dance" by Lim Ji Eun)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kyIaMCkHA-Ew_S10nlOhb7qZz5Z_DVqjc (Entire Album)

I was going to pick just a few songs ("Still," "Without Words,"  "Lovely Day," "Promise," and "My Heart is Calling,")  but that's practically the entire album!  The OST brings back fond memories of the drama, even though no one in their right mind would mistake pretty Park Shin Hye for a boy.
