In the last (first) "OST Corner," @OhSoEnthusiastic, @IsaGC, and ar_arguably romantic @asianromance had a conversation about guessing which drama an OST came from.

Dramabeans actually had this game back in 2017, and the audio still works if Beanies want to play or experience a wave of nostalgia.

Every time I listen to this song I remember the car accident. 🥺
Such a heartbreaking song for a heartbreaking drama.

I didn't remember this song at all. Maybe it's been too long since I watched Fated to Love You 🤔? Thanks for sharing this. I like that this corner is helping us discover/rediscover some great songs.

There are OSTs that as a non-Korean speaker I have to learn because it speaks so clearly to me after I look up the words. The music draws me in and I just start singing like a baby mimicking sounds. I feel guilty I don’t know what I’m singing, so I end up learning every word! This one I did sing (one of two Ailee songs I’ve learned), but only can do it with her voice in the other ear. No one can do this song like her! The story behind how we found this show to watch was through the You tube OST video that starts with the car wreck. It kept popping up on our feed to watch (which my husband and I used to do before bed on our tv). Finally, we did and don’t regret a second of it. He still rewatches scenes!

"One of the reasons I love soundtracks more than regular songs is because I can connect them with a particular scene from the drama/movie they’re from" - I agree!! I have a separate playlist for OSTs because each one takes me right back to a particular scene, and it's especially more vibrant and memorable if its a track that plays during a particularly angst, poignant, sad, and/or melancholic scene.

It's almost like the Pensieve from Harry Potter in that sense. The OSTs are like little time vaults with memories locked into them and when you listen to it, no matter where or when you are, you immediately get transported back to not only the scene it plays in but also the memories of when you first heard it/watched that drama.

This! And Jung Dong Ha's "Destiny Sonata" (운명 같은 너) bring me back to this drama. My mom, niece and I have rewatched the show several times and played the music a few times over!

Agree. Ailee does outstanding OST work, this song is one of her best ones, and the drama makes good use of it. An even greater signal for me that it's great is that I haven't watched the drama since it aired but I've listen to this song dozens of times each year since.

I think Heart to Heart, a drama that you simply cannot find anywhere reputable, had an OST that both deeply connects to the drama and sounds like a standalone, cohesive album. Would love to see a discussion of that, but alas, the drama's unavailability makes it improbable.

This song epitomizes ‘truck of doom’.

Whenever I hear it, it’s firstly the car accident, then Jang Hyuk’s drive in the tunnel, and the numerous scenes of Jang Nara’s sufferings on her own. It arouses sadness in the most glorious way if I could describe it that way.

I didn't watch this drama.

I really loved the TW original one and I couldn't watch the Korean one because of the choice of the actors (whom I really like but not for these roles).

I didn't know this song. It's really a good one.

Even if I don't watch some dramas, I still listen their OST but this one went under my OST radar.

Fated to Love You is one of my favorite romance/rom-com dramas of all time, and this song is one of the few drama songs I automatically recognize as being from this drama. I think it's actually the first song from a drama I ever bought, and for a long time, was the only drama song in my iTunes. I've bought many drama soundtracks since then, although strangely, I've never completed the Fated to Love You soundtrack. I definitely need to remedy that.

I still have it in my playlist along with Ken's My Love (no, it's not because I'm a hardcore VIXX fan, really). Which is a good metaphor for the whole show - it's both heart-wrenching AND a happy pill. And everything in between. Again, classic)))

I haven't watched this drama, but this song is gorgeous so thanks for sharing! I've actually started watching a lot of dramas because I heard a song from the OST that I loved (Run On and The Greatest Love for example), and some of them have ended up being absolute favorites.
