I think one of the reasons why I can relate and even stand the long hours of watching Korean Dramas while reading the subtitles at the same time is their music. For some inexplicable phenomenon in me even if I can’t understand the lyrics the melody of Korean music somehow speaks to me. One of my biggest frustration is I can’t sing but I can definitely know if what I hear is great. Most often than not I can actually guess who will win in singing contests. I just seem to have a knack of knowing what’s a great sound or if it’s out of tune. I must admit I am not into music much for I prefer reading and watching but Korean OSTs are truly amazing. Sometimes it carries the entire dragging scene of the drama. I don’t even feel exasperated with flashbacks that you keep seeing again and again in almost all episodes because the soundtrack is so powerful that you forget the time you are wasting on watching a scene you’ve already seen before.
Anyway, enough of my blah-blah, here are my top 40 collection of the best Korean OST from Korean Dramas. There are 5 songs that are non-Korean but part of the K-Drama’s soundtracks. Enjoy listening to them. Click the photos to bring you to the song’s page with lyrics in English, Romanization and Hangul.
