*Happy dance* What a nice treat for fans of tvN’s hit drama Answer Me 1997 — leads Jung Eun-ji and Seo In-gook are doing a 2-part mini OST for the show, called [Love Story]. The ’90s-set drama doesn’t have an original soundtrack of its own since a huge aspect of the show’s mood is set with era-specific music, one of its defining characteristics. So it’s nice to get some music from the idols in the cast, since Jung and Seo can really sing. They’re doing covers of ’90s songs, naturally, and the first duet is a cover of Cool’s “All For You.”

Here’s the original ’90s version:

The show is getting an immense amount of attention and critical praise, not just because it’s taking cable ratings by storm, but because it’s got everybody talking. It seems like everyone has ’90s nostalgia fever, fueled by the endless pop culture references packed into every minute of the show. You really get the sense that the writers just have the best time hiding little pop culture easter eggs in every scene. Just the cameos alone are a Where’s Waldo of in-jokes.

The producers announced the duet OST as a special project to say thank you to the fans of the show, and released Part 1 with their cover of “All For You.” Part 2 will be released in two weeks, to match the show’s finale.

Love the song, love everything about this drama! Although I'm a few years younger than the characters, every single time I watch this drama I will feel like I'm transported back to my secondary school days too. It's the interaction between anyone that age I guess. And the things we do. The good ol' teenage years are the best!

With no original soundtrack, my assumption is that the likelihood of a soundtrack being released is minimal. Does anyone know if there is a blogger or anyone that has compiled an episode by episode guide of the different songs? I would love to get my hands on that. Thanks!

thank you girlfriday for recapping this drama, it's absolutely lovable. and i'm not korean and could not relate to a single pop culture reference, but the drama is so deliciously good and addictive just the same, because, well i was also 18 once.
