OSTs/Songs Featured in a Drama

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

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ41S5-X6UE ("Loveable" by SinB)

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

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/browse/VLPLK6MrsCxIhGYgX0ABxKumGn_wmGIQG5eE (Complete OST)

I'm not sure any of the songs will be put on my personal playlist, but they fit the drama perfectly and enhanced the experience.

I think of the drama every time I hear "Love and Shine" (at 7:33).

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=KTijfUBUIwg ("What is Love" by Seo Hyun Jin)

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

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/watch?v=GFDdhIZhVsY&list=OLAK5uy_mVde8yW689kruIx8mg3vQ3HpOI3UbKuJc ("Bom Bom Bom" by Punch, "We Will Be Not All Together" by Rothy and Han Seung Yun)

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.

["Just Look for You" by Ailee is the best song on this OST. Popcxqueen, https://kisskh.at/list/1VKpO5rL]

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. 

["You and Me" by Kim Dong Hyeok & Lee Yae Bum, Popcxqueen, https://kisskh.at/list/1VKpO5rL] 

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

So many good songs. 

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/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lb3rZYrJFC4u7NlU90dy_fSG6d1laBrL0 (complete OST)

There aren't any songs I play on repeat, and I've not added any of them to my playlist, but the music and lyrics fit the drama well. This is more a case of music meshing well and enhancing a drama rather than having any standout songs.

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

Ailee can express raw emotion beautifully. Love this song.

https://music.youtube.com/search?q=ending+again+ost ("Hello" by Rothy)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=tpzFcing2I8 ("My Turn" by Park Won)

For a teeny-tiny drama, the music was outstanding.

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

This song gives me the creeps. It's so appropriate for the drama. It's my favorite psychopathic serial killer song (you don't have one?!). The lyrics--"I want your breath, I want your hair, I want your fear"--send a shiver down my spine every time. I don't know why, but the hair coveting horrifies me the most.  

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=q5EcE3zTmJc ("Freak Show" by Jeon Soyeon)

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

Perfect OST for a great drama.

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

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

https://music.youtube.com/search?q=it%27s+okay+to+not+be+okay+ost (complete)

I like "In Silence" by Janet Suhh. The music fits the drama well. 

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/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/playlist?list=PLIx2W_gDlNxew8dgSdMn-s-T9noRgJEMA

"Free" has beautiful lyrics; "Takedown" and "How It's Done" are great for working out; and "Golden" is powerful. "Soda Pop" may be pure sugar, but if I'm dragging on my daily walk, I play it and get instant energy.

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=o_7aIlNa_ZQ&list=RDAMVMo_7aIlNa_ZQ (Entire OST)

The music meshed beautifully with the drama. I especially looked forward to hearing "Fireworks" by Zhou Shen: https://music.youtube.com/search?q=fireworks+zhou+shen  So pretty.

"King and Knight" by Chen Zueran was moving for the more dramatic spots: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=BTiffc8_BLA

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.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=MkX3iLWQ3jA

I can't say that I fell in love with the OST, but I appreciated being introduced to more traditional Chinese music. It's dramatic, poetic, and moving. 

"Slowly, Slowly" breaks from the traditional and is a pleasant tune. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ok2pqepWTLU ("Spring Snow" by 10CM)

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

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

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=rjxKdhYT8LQ (Entire album)

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.

Update: I finally saw the drama and enjoyed the music all the more. The ballads and love songs fit wonderfully, but I don't believe rap and Goryeo are a good combination. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=yuE3ZqF47RU ( "Here's Chuli" by THE9)

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

[This drama has a seriously good OST. Popcxqueen, https://kisskh.at/list/1VKpO5rL]

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=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=lj8TV9q59P4 ("Christmas Tree" by V)

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=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. 

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=NaXPWhUDYe0 ("The Woman" by Baek Ji Young)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=kHrHfFAqfpc&list=PL_cn955nlB8Tsq16mP_RBZIYoOLvHqbkM (Complete OST)

OST fit the story well, from moody vampire to the sweet ballad for the FL. I especially liked "Fly, Moonlight" by Nana Ouyang: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=U5T7iOzNdso

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

[Classical music with a Korean twist - just awesome. Popcxqueen, https://kisskh.at/list/1VKpO5rL]

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=YRgDPDQ3UGo&list=PLK6MrsCxIhGZDX0rSXpulCIadjlfVx71f  ("I See You" by Qian Xi is exquisite.)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=dvrVLTR_XAY&list=PLK6MrsCxIhGZDX0rSXpulCIadjlfVx71f (Collection of four songs I can listen to on repeat.)

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_luPLtepJANZrxV7VZ9mji4CvTyD5enCI8

The Gregorian chant cathedral-like music was amazing in the fight scenes. Very exciting. (I know I've complained about rap music in Joseon dramas, so I'm not being consistent, but this was fresh and entrancing. So, I'm inconsistent. Forgive me.)

The song "Anemone" always gave me chills during the drama. It was a take on Grimm's Fairytales, as were several others. The song "Mirror, Mirror" was from the fairytale Snow White. The villainess called her alter ego computer server, Mirror. 

The OST was standout, original, and haunting. Some were sung in German, maybe one in Indonesian (per Google translate), one in English, maybe one in Latin, etc. The language doesn't matter to me, because I only reliably understand English and Pig Latin, so I rely on the music and emotions to relay the message to me. 

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=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)

This drama featured a rich OST with everything from classical to contemporary music. 

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ePI4jH8pDb4 ("Adrenaline" by Solar)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ipCb7FyRll0 ("I'm Always by Your Side" by John Park)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ifaNT-52p0c ("Is This Love" by Aalia)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=hUGg2mmIBQU ("I'll Pick You Up" by Standing Egg)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca0Dh1HuiuY ("From Now On" by Kim Min Seung)

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=RTy9vjxMKEU ("You and I" by Kim Jon Wan)

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.  

 

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

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.

If you don't end up with an earworm from "Reset" by Tiger JK, you're a far stronger person than I.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=uTvDTZc4Agw

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=UEVjA5CdkPk ("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/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.  

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.
