K-Drama OSTs That Still Give Us The Feels: 'Beautiful,' 'Love Story,' More! [Updated 2022]
There are always those K-Drama OSTs that bring back all the feels from the dramas we loved, may it be happy or sad. Soundtracks can singlehandedly evoke emotions that we thought we'd let go of with respect to the drama.
With this, we listed down a few of our favourite K-drama OSTs!
'Start Over' by Gaho ('Itaewon Class')
It takes one listen for this song to get us feeling all pumped and hopeful. As such, it is the perfect pick me up song for when you're in a slump.
Alternatively, it is also perfect for your work-out playlist to help you feel motivated and conquer the world. The story of Sae Ro Yi (Park Seo Joon) is inspirational, no doubt its main OST "Start Over" also makes one feel the same way - inspired, motivated, energetic and ready to start again.
'Beautiful' by Crush ('Goblin')
Crush serenades in his soothing honey like voice in this melancholic OST "Beautiful" to "Goblin," serving as a perfect background to the tragic story of Goblin (Gong Yoo) and Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun) as they struggle with figuring out their ill-fated love.
Things are never simple in their world and navigating feelings of blooming love is tough as it is.

However, the OST provides just the right amount of comfort to the viewers angst as they await the lovers' destiny.
'Remember' by Dear Cloud ('Hello Monster')
A song that perfectly captures the relationship between the estranged brothers in the story of "Hello Monster," "Remember" is a track that can make the strongest hearts weep.

Nothing is not emotional about the song, starting from the lyrics to the vocals and the melody, the OST gives life to the feelings the brothers had been harbouring for years and years on end.
'Here I Am Again' by Yerin Baek ('Crash Landing On You')
As if the story of "Crash Landing On You" wasn't touching enough, it is backed by the most heartwarming and soothing vocals of Yerin Baek, making all of our emotions well up to the brim. There's no way a fan won't cry when "Here I Am Again" plays as it encapsulates the story of the journey of the RiRi couple.

The agonising love story and the even more heart-wrenching wait that followed before the most satisfactory reunion is expressed in this beautiful OST.
'Foolish Love' by John Park ('When The Camellia Blooms')
There's no other OST that gets our hearts jumping with joy than "Foolish Love" for "When The Camellia Blooms."
The song tells the story of how foolishly one is in love with their favourite person and even though they're a little strange, they're still the best.

"When The Camellia Blooms" is a warm, healing drama about slow but steady love and the OST is a fit representation of the fresh excitement and anticipation of new love.
'Your Shampoo Scent in The Flowers' by Jang Beom June ('Be Melodramatic')
Another song about love and exciting feelings albeit a little weathered is the OST, "Your Shampoo Scent in the Flowers," for "Be Melodramatic."

This song plays a crucial plot point in the beginning of the drama and is played throughout the drama to express the heart fluttering moments between the two leads.
Indeed, it is not just those two that feel the effects of the song but us too! We can't help but sway like flowers to the beat of the song.
'Dive' by Jung Jin Woo ('Mystic Pop-Up Bar')
Whenever you need a burst of energy to help propel you in the right way, "Dive" is the way to go.

Perfectly expressing the impulsive and confident mood of the drama as well Kang Bae overcoming his initial hesitation to dive right into helping his favourite duo, this OST readily brings back all the happy and giddy emotions of the drama and we can't get enough!
'Can You Hear My Heart' by Epik High ft. Lee Hi ('Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo')
"Scarlet Heart" gave us tons of OSTs which we can wallow in sadness to or make us fall in love with 4th Prince Wang So over and over.
But "Can You Hear My Heart" is just different. Lee Hi's honey-like vocals and Epik High's rap make the soundtrack so, so good, it instantly becomes an earworm.
Still missing the princes? Or feeling heartbroken over how Wang So and Hae Soo ended up? Then you're in the right track (literally)!
'Something' by Kang Daniel ('Convenience Store Saet-Byul')
This is one of the more recent ones but it is for that exact reason that the memories of the drama are still freshly etched in viewers' minds.

As a result, one play of "Something" is sure to make anyone think back to all the emotions felt while getting to know the characters in the drama and falling in love with them.
'Wake Up' by Elaine ('It's Okay To Not Be Okay')
"Wake Up" is a huge hit with K-drama fans as it accompanies cute and quirky scenes in the drama rather than some of the emtionally heavy ones.
While the drama was rife with emotionally charged situations, the happy little bits are just as, if not more refreshing. Go Moon Young (Seo Ye Ji) and Moon Gang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun) fall in love surely and steadily but sometimes all at once and this song perfectly represents that fall.
'Love Story' by Lyn ('Legend Of The Blue Sea')
Topping the list off with a classic love song about a classic love story, featuring Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun! "Love Story" by Lyn is one for the history books!
No one can forget this beautifully expressive song and the voice that sings it. Any K-Drama fan is sure not only to recognise this by the first 5 seconds but also to start fangirling almost instantly at its mention. Such is the global impact of the drama!
'Can You See My Heart' by Heize ('Hotel Del Luna')
"Hotel Del Luna" immersed us with its fantastical storyline and visuals, but also broke our hearts with the tragic love story of Jang Man Wol (IU) and Go Chung Myung (Lee Do Hyun). After multiple centuries, she managed a ghost hotel to pay for her sins, while he, who died by her very hands, stayed with her 'til the end of time as her firefly.
And if this track, "Can You See My Heart," doesn't encompass how romantically tragic their love story is, then we don't know what does!
