Best Soundtracks in 10 Must-Watch K-Dramas


From background music to scene-stealing numbers, a K-drama‘s soundtrack can be its most iconic attribute. There are numerous ways a drama can utilize music to strengthen its story, from a character serenading their lost love with a diegetic track to an editing masterclass that perfectly syncs a song’s beats to a fight scene’s choreography.

Furthermore, there are plenty of K-dramas about music itself, which makes the soundtrack that much more important from a narrative perspective. Whether the show’s cast ends up in a recording booth or famous bands are brought in for a feature, the best K-dramas can create memorable, best-selling soundtracks that add to the viewing experience rather than distracting from it.

Typically, K-dramas about first love follow two young romantics slowly falling for each other. Our Beloved Summer subverts the audience’s expectations, however, by focusing on a pair of exes who are forced to revisit their past when a video they filmed in high school unexpectedly goes viral. Nevertheless, old habits die hard, and it’s impossible to ignore their lingering feelings.

Our Beloved Summer‘s original soundtrack is arguably more popular than the drama itself, but the music and plot complement each other perfectly. The lyrics of each song poignantly capture the main character’s evolving feelings, while the instrumentation seamlessly blends into the scenes themselves. Plus, Our Beloved Summer debuted a new song from BTS star V (“Christmas Tree”), which charted internationally.
