TOP-TIER SOUNDTRACKS

There have been so many super iconic OSTS to come out of shows. I'm sure people can think of at least one ost from an old-ish Korean drama. I just want to recognize the dramas that have had an amazing soundtrack over all. All the songs suited the drama they were in, to the scenes they were used in, and elevated the show as a whole. The music alone could evoke such strong emotions in me, but when paired with the drama.... peak.

These songs aren't only vocal tracks, but also instrumental. The TOP 4 are my HOLY GRAIL.
