21. The OST you are obsessed with – SPECIAL MENTION.
Since most of the 51! shows I watched this year, only a handful were actually from 2023, and none of them had memorable music. So Im going to use the older shows as reference.
*Big* – an oldie but a goodie (sort of) – the soundtrack was very melodramatic and the theme song “Because of you” by Davichi is 100% not my type yet it wormed its way into my heart and it was the first Korean song I learned! It’s sappy and ridiculous and amazing at the same time, the orchestration is phenomenal and in the chorus the violins do a little chord progression that feels like you are getting stabbed in the heart. There is also a softer, acoustic version by Gong Yoo, who starred in the show, that will for sure make you fall in love with him.
*Flower of evil* – amazing soundtrack all the way, with a shoutout to the theme song *Psycho*.
*Yumi’s Cells S1* – so many good songs! My faves being *Like a star*, *Timing*, *My heart*, *Ling Ling*, all that make me feel like I’m the one dating Wuung! Feels!!!! So many feels!
*Sweet Home S1* – I mean, Imagine Dragons singing “Warriors” as the fighting theme? It puts ME in a fighting mood. I want to kick some serious butt and kill mosnters and destroy buildings with my bare hands. Also the subdued “Sweet home” that Yoon Ji-Su plays on a guitar during a quiet moment is devastatingly sad.
*Goblin* – had some good songs too! *Who are you*, *Stay with me*, and the theme *Round and round*.
From 2023 I guess the only show with music that caught my ears was *Perfect marriage revenge* – The theme songs *Halo* and *Meaningless* were awesome. The girl that sings *Halo* has an amazing voice and reach, I mean, she hits that high note in HAAAAaaaalo on an open vowel and in mixed voice? That girl is fire!
I also thought that PMR had some rely punchy OST and made absolutely perfect use of the Halo song as a cliffhanger every now and then. Her voice was truly conveying all the meaning and depth of emotions that permanently boiled turnip persona Yi-joo could not
yeah! that song was perfection, feels like it could have been written for the character. “Now you can see my HAAAALLLLLOOOOoooo you can’t cover up my light” or something.
boiled turnip! LOL
