Top 5 Best Korean Drama OST I listened to in 2024
I should just make the list 7 or 10 cos this year has been a banger and it hasn’t ended yet. I will stick to 5 though.
I don’t know how many kdramas I watched this year but to be honest, I didn’t watch Lovely Runner and one of its songs made my list (tongue out).
Before I get into the list, I want you to know that I have a weird taste. Should anyone decide to listen to my recommendation and feel it is childish or generic or boring, remember, it is my list.
N.B. The list is not in order
Someday — Kassy (Drama: No Gain, No Love)
I’ll always be with you (너와 함께)
시간이 흘러도 너와 함께이고 싶어
I’ll always be with you (약속해)
기다린다는 건 너였기에만 가능한 거야
I wanna be with you 이렇게
네 손을 잡고서 영원히 함께이고 싶어
Why do I like Someday? I don’t know… But the chorus reminds me of a particular song I heard while growing up so for some reasons when I am listening to it, I am like which song did they copy.
(If you listen to the song and feel the same way and know the song they copied, please leave it in the comments. You d help a sister out)
The song is interesting and a good listen so enjoy and the drama is my best kdrama this year (bar the ending though 😢).
Spring Snow — 10CM (Drama: Lovely Runner)
’Cause I’m falling slowly love with you
오랫동안 기다려온 너는 봄이야
’Cause I’m falling slowly love with you
다시 지워진다 해도, all my life is you
Just imagine. Close your eyes and play spring snow. Now, imagine yourself with your better half slow dancing to the chorus of this song. Or imagine your crush (if you still have a heart) smiling while listening to this music and tell me why you won’t like it.
10CM ate !
The Reasons for my Smiles — BSS (Drama: Queen of Tears)
Only if you are waiting for me
Then I could walk through the fire for you
When you say my name
The whole world stops
I’m amazed at the way you see me
Queen of Tears wasn’t really a top 10 drama for me though, although it was okay. I just felt like the second male lead anger wasn’t justified. It didn’t make sense to me (maybe I am slow) but the OSTs were great.
BSS killed the all ‘The reasons for my smiles’ considering the fact that the movie was about tears 😏.
I give the OST a 9/5/10.
Leave it all behind — Woinstein (Drama: Love Next Door)
쌓인 맘 속에 두던 나의 꿈도
나의 밤 속에 떠다니던 아픔까지도
Just leave it all behind
저 바람에 날려봐
상처까지도
It’s all good
아름다운 날 있으니
You need to watch this drama to understand why this song is emotional to me. ‘Just leave it all behind’
We carry a lot of pains in our heart. Sometimes, all we need is to leave everything and start afresh. This is not always easy but most times, it is for the best.
Beautiful Day — Gemini (Drama: Welcome to Samdal-ri)
There, here I am
Same as always
There, here I am
Same as always
Takes me time to fully heal through
Will I finally see?
Let out a sigh
It’s a beautiful day
From here and everywhere
If ‘Leave it all behind’ made me emotional, this song broke me. I cried, like literally cried. Actually, the main character faced something I faced and while she broke down in the art gallery, I broke down and stopped watching the drama all together 😢.
Bonus: (I can’t help it ❤️)
In a Beautiful Way- Opening — Kyung Hee (Drama: Queen of Tears)
As long as you stay with me
Giving you all my heart
Giving you all my love
And I
As long as you stay with me
Not sure I would but if I do, this is going to be a pre-wedding video soundtrack. I literally skip Netflix dramas intro but I never for one day skipped this. It was too (puts out hands like an Italian) great.
And that is all
If you have suggestions, old kdrama osts or even this year’s osts, please drop it down (pleaing).
Thank you 💚
