Park Boram’s rendition of Zoo’s “Hyehwadong” is one of the most popular songs off of the drama. It has the alternate title “Ssangmundong”, which pays tribute to the drama’s iconic neighborhood. Those who loved the drama would definitely recognize this song just from its intro, bringing back their favorite scene from it. It even makes the audience feel nostalgic about a time in their childhood when they’re all just like Duk Seon and the rest of the Ssangmundong kids!
Set in 1988, the OST for the drama is composed of Korean songs from the 780s, covered by today’s artists. Other songs to check out are Oh Hyuk’s “A Little Girl” and Lee Juck’s “Don’t Worry”.

Fans who are still unable to move on from Scarlet Heart Ryeo have either been avoiding this OST (because feels) or have been listening to the entire soundtrack since it ended (again, because feels). The drama is also one of those that are known to have a powerhouse OST, but it’s this song by Lee Hi that brings back the sadness as they long for a happy ending for Wang So and Hae Soo. Season 2, please!
Other well-loved songs from this drama include “For You” by EXO-CBX, “All With You” by Taeyeon, and “Can I Hear Your Heart?” by Epik High ft. Lee Hi.

Let’s admit it: there’s no such thing as a bad song from Goblin‘s OST, and we had a hard time just choosing one from it! However, Ailee’s “I Will Go To You Like the First Snow” is probably the most popular song to come from it. Not only did the ballad reach the top of Korean charts, it also won several awards in 2017, including Best Original Soundtrack at the Mnet Asian Music Awards, Melon Music Awards, and more.

If there’s a song that could probably capture Mr. Sunshine’s theme that is “Guns, Glory, Sad Ending”, Elaine’s “Sad March” would be it. Quiet and calming, the lyrics to this song is also sentimental and melancholic. For someone who still hasn’t moved on from that ending, this song is like a letter written by one of the drama’s 5 leads.
Some of the other good songs from the OST include Suhyun’s “Sori (Voice)” and MeloMance’s “Good Day”.

Just like Reply 1988, Hospital Playlist‘s OST is also composed of old songs covered by today’s artists. What sets it apart though is how the songs not only play a big part in the theme of every episode, but are also played by the cast themselves. Lee Seung Hwan’s “Confession is Not Flashy” is well-loved by fans of the show, especially since it was sung and played during some of Winter Garden’s most memorable moments.

There’s a couple of good songs from the Chicago Typewriter soundtrack, but it’s “Satellite” by one-man band SALTNPAPER that gives fans war flashbacks from the show.
