5 K-Dramas With The Best OST In 2023, According to Reddit
The dramas you should listen to.
If you were to name what makes the TV show great, you would probably mention a soundtrack among all the other important production choices. A good, catchy opening may boost the popularity of the series and become a part of its brand, while the background music supports the mood of pretty much every powerful scene.
The same goes for Korean dramas as well. Redditots on r/KDRAMA subreddit were asked to name their favorite OSTs from 2023 dramas, and here are 5 of the most popular answers.
Twinkling Watermelon
This is the rare case of the show where pretty much every single song is the one that gets stuck in your head for days. Not only are these songs perfect for the story, but they also make for a great playlist in their own right, so you can continue to live the show even after you're done watching it.
Castaway Diva
Both versions of Night and Day, sung by Park Eun Bun and Jung Seung Hwan, are so good that you'll probably listen to them a thousand times. All the other songs are just as magical, and some would argue that the OST album is actually better than the show as a whole, so it's definitely worth giving it a try.
Crash Course in Romance
There are quite a few tracks that are worth mentioning when talking about this year's hit. Lee Ju Hyuk's Gypsophila perfectly captures the essence of the show with a soft rock sound. Ha Hyun Sang's Alright, Lee Juck's The Opposite Side, Vincent Blue's Love Code, and the list goes much further on.
My Dearest
Just as the show is full of emotion, the soundtrack mirrors it, with many songs that could bring tears to your eyes on their own. Heartfelt lyrics, beautiful voices and the melancholic sound is exactly what makes My Dearest's OST hit hard, whether you just listen to the album or watch the show and pay close attention to the music.
King the Land
Another show that deserves to be on the list for pretty much every song that was released. However, Confess to You by Lim Kim seems to be the most popular one for all the dreamers out there who appreciate a beautiful song to entertain their imagination. If the track can evoke so much emotion, it is good, no questions asked.
