Drama theme-song ringtones
by javabeans
Somehow the mention of ringtones came up on the last Open Thread, and I posted some ringtones that I’d made of You’re Beautiful OST songs. I got some requests, so I thought I’d put more up in a separate post, in case anyone else was interested.
(These are short mp3 clips that you can download onto your phone IF your phone is capable of mp3 ringtones. I know some phones have size limits for mp3s — mine is 500kb — and most of these clips are under 30 seconds and in the 200kb-400kb range. Download link at bottom.)
For example:
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
I’m sure most of you are familiar with this soundtrack so I don’t need to post clips, but I’ll put them up just in case:
Jang Geun-seok – “말도 없이” (Without Words)

Some of you expressed reservations about using ringtones that might be embarrassing to sound in public, so here are a few instrumental versions to spare you the mortification.
“여전히” (Still) bossa version

STRONGEST CHIL WOO
Some dramas barely left a blip on the radar but had some memorable tunes, like this one. I like this song so much that I made three different ringtones out of three different parts of the song. It’s Joseon Korea with a dash of Zorro/Americana thrown in as well. What’s not to love?
Strongest Chil-woo OST – “Western Whistle” – intro portion

Part 3
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
RETURN OF ILJIMAE
This drama’s soundtrack has some of the most beautiful instrumentals I’ve ever heard in a drama, particularly the plum-blossom theme song below.
Return of Iljimae theme

I.S. (Infinite of Spring) – “Asian Flower.” This isn’t expressly from the soundtrack, but was used in an episode.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS
To be honest, I can’t quite see anyone using this ringtone without (1) a healthy dose of irony, and/or (2) shame, but I had to make it nonetheless!
The infamous “Paradise” by T-Max
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
STORY OF A MAN
This song still gives me a little thrill whenever I hear that crescendoing guitar riff. I actually use this as my alarm clock song in the mornings:
Story of a Man OST – “세상을 너에게” (The World To You)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
GOONG
Another drama with one of the best soundtracks around. Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that the PD who did this series also did Return of Iljimae.
Goong Theme Song
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Goong – “Crystal Flower”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
GOONG S
Unfortunately for Goong S‘s case, I think its soundtrack was better than its plot. 🙁
Second Moon – “구름같은 세상” (Cloudlike world)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
MY FAIR LADY
Davichi – “Hot Stuff

MY NAME IS KIM SAM-SOON
Clazziquai – “Be My Love”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
THE WORLD THEY LIVE IN
I don’t feel particular attachment to this drama, but I think it has a great, peppy theme song.
As One – “La la la… Love Song”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
OTHER
And then, here are some other selections from some Korean indie and electronic bands I like. Sometimes you might not want a highly recognizable (or potentially embarrassing) ringtone to give you away in public, but maybe you want something a little different, something that other people might be intrigued by and/or envy you for. I think these do a good job:
Clazziquai – “Sweety”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Hourmelts – “Your World, My Nest, Vague Trust”

I've been using the same ring tone - Like you - from OST what's up fox since that drama airs. I really love that song, so much so I've had never paid attention to newer ring tones. Well, until now that is. Thank You "berry berry" much ^^
Oh..and, I love old fish & plum blossoms ring tones.

Thank you so much Javabeans! It's been a gloomy Monday morning (it's 11:56am now) and all my heart, mind and soul are on YAB. This post totally cheered me up!
I always make ringtones out of OST songs too, and i've got like 5 YAB ringtones already! (I made lotsa Coffee Prince ringtones too the last time!) Nevertheless, i'm gonna save all of yours. These are so precious. Kamsa hamnida! :)

Thanks so much for doing us such a great job! I will change my ringtone to Jang Geun-Sok's 말도 없이 today. I started paying attention to him after his good performance in "Beethoven virus", and can't stop liking him when I watch 미남이시네요.

Thank you so much; I downloaded all and will alternate using most of them.
I am not (yet) brave enough to use the ones with korean lyrics so will stick with the instrumental and the la...la...la...la ones unitl i can muster the courage to use the more interesting ones with K-lyrics.

I totally agree about GOONG having one of the best soundtracks around. The melody fits the scenes so well especially the one where SHIN ADMITTED THAT HE LIKES CHAE-GYUNG, the music really brought out the sadness in Hyo-rin.
A DAY THE PLUM BLOSSOMS WERE BEAUTIFUL - love itttttttt...

Javabeans, I love you so much. "You are beautiful!".... "You are my AN Jell...Angel".
22 Nov is my birthday. Your ringtones are the best presents to me.
By the way, I discovered this website yesterday. You can download different versions of Sorry Sorry ringtones.

I feel guilty for requesting JB for so many things. And I want to help a little if I can.

I would love to get "Without Words" ringtone but from 9th street. Even when JGS has a nice voice -for me- it is too weak for this kind of song.
Oh, and I miss the title song from Love & Marriage, my favorite Drama in 2008.

For those of you withi iPhones, last time I did this, this was how you got the ringtones on your iPhone. First of all, if you have by any chance downloaded the songs from iTunes at all, check the ringtone box and iTunes will make it for you (this is how an SS501 song got on my niece's phone, but I digress!).
The trick is to take a ringtone clip that is an m4a extension and simply rename it m4r. Then import that into iTunes, then sync the phone and viola! There you have it.
If you have the song in iTunes already, no ringtone download, but it is not from iTunes, you have few more steps - you are in for some work. Listen to the song, pick the start and stop times for the clip. Right click the song, hit get info, then options, then put in the start and stop times, Click OK. Now, Right click it again - Convert to AAC - wait for it to convert. Now delete the song BUT use the KEEP the file option. Now, go find it, rename it to m4r, then if you double click it it should go back into your iTunes directory.
If you need more handholding there is a tutorial for iTunes 8 on intoMobile.com. It worked in 9 last time I tried it.
Now, should your iPhone EVER need service - kindly remember to delete all non-Apple ringtones, music and such. Apple's service department tends to get a bit snappy about workarounds. So, as always, reset to factory if possible before going in.
And yes it is VERY ironic that I can hack Apple stuff easily, but needed cingdoc daughter's help to get the ringtones on my own Verizon phone! My phone is now happily doing Shinee's Ring Ding Dong - I'm easily amused.

whoa ! these are great .
im just wondering , it's like you're all anti-BOF
though it didn't go with the story of the manga well, it still gave a twist in the story .
the storyline is really great . they just rushed it so bad that the supposed to be a season became 2 episodes.
it's as if you've enjoyed watching it before and now you're already criticizing it because you've seen a better drama .
after all , it still gave justice in the manga.
