OSTs That Live Rent Free In My Head
My favorite KDRAMA & CDRAMA OSTs.
Many are instrumental. Favorite tracks singled out in the comments.

1. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
All-time favorite Thai OST. P'Nuchy masterfully balances the OST with Thai, American, and instrumental songs that perfectly elevate each scene's mood. The OST is utilized so beautifully with each scene, I found myself getting chills or tearing up throughout. Each of these tracks, specifically, emoted strong reactions from me. Tears. Goosebumps. Longing. Nostalgia. Sadness. There are many. This series deserves every award. I couldn't even list every track b/c I hit the character limit.

4. Ashes of Love
Chinese Drama - 2018, 63 episodes
"Unsullied" - Mao Buyi - Gorgeous, gorgeous track. His vocals are *chefs kiss*
"Upwards to the Moon" - Sa Dingding x Zhou Shen. This song, especially listening to it live at the 2020 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala gives me total body goosebumps.
This song always evokes very strong emotions in me and brings me right back to the scenes where I initially heard it.
