(occasionally updated)

Que Sera Sera
Sly, indie and a little flirty. With a hint of loneliness. It has a flavor all its own and is the kind of offering that doesn't need any kdrama for self-esteem. The album is amazing all by itself.


My Lovely Samsoon
Smooth and a little jazzy, it compliments romance perfectly and reminded us that the soundtrack of falling in love doesn't have to be sappy and cheesy but can also be lovely and well-made, credible music. Clazziquai features prominently here, which is never a bad thing. Alex's voice is just honey.


Boys Over Flowers
The soundtrack that never stopped. With multiple volumes and neverending special releases, it became a little self-serving in its desire to cash in on the drama's success, but all that aside, there was still some great music showcased.


You’re Beautiful
Being as the drama was about an idol group, this drama was expected to have a decent musical offering and it didn't fail. It's addictive music, especially when paired with the show. The drama's ratings may have been mediocre but the soundtrack was a killer seller. The two real idols (Lee Hongki and Jung YongHwa) lend their voices and Jang GeunSuk and Park ShinHye show how multi-talented they are by contributing as well.


Spring Waltz
Weeping cries of the violin and melodic teardrops of piano keys fill the score for this drama and it is poignant and a delight to listen to all around.


Damo
"Song of Devotion" and "Song of Sorrow" are two of the most beautiful tracks to grace a soundtrack. The whole thing is gorgeous.


Soulmate
The sheer density and randomness of the music featured throughout the drama was impressive, as well as the quality of it. A great combination of both Korean and English tracks.


1st Shop of Coffee Prince
Light and airy but pleasantly surprising, like a summer shower.


Something Happened in Bali
Any track in this collection will take you right back into the misery and tragedy of its parent drama. These songs were able to capture longing in a most tangible way and they were unforgettably haunting melodies.


Full House
It was highly unlikely this wouldn't make my list. It was Full House and it was Full House music - cute and bouncy. Perfect together.


Baker King, Kim TakGu
Truthfully, this musical entourage wasn’t the most perfect pairing for this drama, as tonally the two were at odds with one another (but Baker was a rather tone deaf drama that didn’t know its own direction anyway). This little guy may not have grooved like true kin to its televised counterpart, but the soundtrack was so generously salted with pleasing songs that it forced my hand, and behold, here it is now, sitting among esteemed company.

The Girl Who Cried Wolf
Dramas I talk about after the jump: Master’s Sun (eps 11-12). If you haven’t watched Master’s Sun yet, don’t read on. Major ass spoilers ahead...because major ass things went down!

Master’s Sun (eps 9 & 10) is the only drama I chat about after the jump. But I am pretty sure I am going to start Good Doctor this week.

Crossing Imaginary Lines
Dramas I will spoil after the jump: Master’s Sun (Eps 7-8). I am still watching Who Are You, but I have little to say on it, other than Kim JaeWook continues to be a handsome spectral figure. Oh, and I had to officially drop Goddess of Fire.

JiSub OPPA!
More fangirling over JiSub and HyoJin after the jump, and Master’s Sun (Episode 5 and 6) will be the only drama I yap about and spoil. It was the only one I managed to watch this week.

Dramas I will talk about and spoil after the  jump: Master’s Sun (until Ep 4). And some more thoughts on The Blade and the Petal (up to Ep6), and Who Are You (up to Ep6). And also, the craziest thing I saw this weekend: Kim WooBin fighting killer female robots.
