This soundtrack is uplifting, bright, and just twinkling with romantic duets and soulful ballads! Definitely songs for the newly in love or in a relationship; “Star Figure” by UJi emits that heart fluttering excitement that comes from a first kiss or a smile from your crush.

Best Korean Dramas On Netflix To Watch In March 2023
Heize’s “Round and Round” made that infamous, often parodied scene from “Goblin” the moodiest, most dramatic scene in dramas this year. Full of emotion, highs and lows, songs for long winter walks when you’ve got a lot on your mind, and songs for those moments when you just have to pull a sword out of your lover’s chest, it’s got it all!
This soundtrack has everything you want from a romantic drama OST; every scene between the two leads was sweet and uplifting and these tracks match perfectly. Jung Eun Ji, Suran, Kim Chung Ha, Mamamoo, and more. Suran’s “Heart Beat” especially gives off first love feelings.
This is a great soundtrack for long train journeys, lounging on the porch or in the garden, drinking tea, or taking a nap during the day. Add “How About You” to your candle bath playlist or hum along to “Silly Love” by Yoo Ha Jung on a country walk when spring finally rolls around.
The Best K Drama Songs From Your Favourite Shows
“Because Of You” by Kim EZ and “Is This Love?” by Hong Dae Kwang especially, will gently tug you out of sleep without jolting you awake and irritating you for the rest of the day. Stretch out those tense muscles, take a breath of fresh morning air, and squint into the sun that’s filling your room. It’s a new day, and these tracks are just right to accompany you through the best day!
Korean music is no stranger to the featured rap artist, but pretty much every song on this soundtrack has a rapped section, even “Open Your Mind” by Mamamoo, which starts out as this romantic ballad and then bam! It’s a rap. Not that I’m complaining, because these songs perfectly fit the cool, charismatic style of the drama and its protagonist.
With exception to “Mr. Trouble” by 2BiC, which, by the way, is a great song to cheer you up after all the crying, this soundtrack is a total tear-jerker. Maybe it’s because we know the plot of the drama and the emotional struggle of the male lead, or maybe it’s the emotive lyrics or the depth of the artists’ performances of the songs. Whatever the reason, this OST is bound to leave you reaching for the tissues.
