So I just finished Dear HongRang yesterday... 🤧 If you guys watched it too, you'll know why I'm here. Its cause its OSTs are a real gem that comes rarely especially in historical K-Dramas.

Dear Hongrang was a novel adaptation. And I only read the manhwa but I know it was true to its source material nor did it whitewash the characters. And despite viewers saying it didn't meet expectations, for me it beautifuly presented the themes of forbidden love, darkness of misguided faith, weight of regret, gore, vengeance, and redemption within its cinematography and in the music as well.

All of the casts' acting blew my mind, It has been so long since fictional characters made me so emotional. The villains tho- Trashta, Sovishiet, Su Jin, and Ye BingChang were nothing compared to the 'Parents' and the 'Painter' (I hope they rot wherever they are)

Now, back to the music. It blend so well with each scene that watching the series felt operatic. 'Burning Petals' by 4BOUT seriously needs to be studied.
So I just had to make a playlist yesterday so I can also listen to songs that carried the same intensity. Will share it down here, please enjoy! (╹▽╹)
If you guys have any recommendation with similar vibes, please do tell for I'll gladly add it to the playlist! I find this kind of style so unique and enchanting and I'd love to discover them all. Also I wonder what this music style/genre is called. Many say listening to Burning Petals kinda remind them of Bollywood/Tamil songs — maybe I'll add some of my favorites as well?
