2017 KDramas w/Best OST

Here is a list of 2017 Kdramas which I think have the best OSTs. 

  • I'm not including dramas that started airing 2016 but finished airing 2017, because I don't consider them to be a 2017 drama
  • These are not really in a particular order since I find it a bit hard to compare OSTs
  • I have a soft spot for English OSTs:) so I mark them with [ENG]

  • While You Were Sleeping

    1. While You Were Sleeping

    Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes

    5.0

    I am not a big fan of While You Were Sleeping, but I have to admit that it has the best soundtracks of 2017.

    My favorites:

    - 긴 밤이 오면 (When Night Falls) | Eddy Kim

    - It's You | Henry [ENG]

    - 자각몽 (Lucid Dream) | Monogram

    - 오늘도 그리워 그리워 (I Miss You) | Davichi

    - Maze | Kim Na Young

  • Because This Is My First Life

    2. Because This Is My First Life

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    This drama has truly amazing and calming tracks. I haven't watched it yet but it has high priority on my PTW list. ㅠ_ㅠ With beautiful instrumentals in the background accompanied by the diverse voices of many talented artists, BTIMFL's OST is one of my favorites of 2017. A part of the reason why the instrumentals are so good is the cello in the background!! Also, it would be great to check out the translated english lyrics because they hold deep meanings. 

    Personal favorites: 

    - 결혼 (Marriage) | MoonMoon

    - This Life | Moon Sung Nam

    - Tomorrow | Ryu Ji Hyun

    - 갈 수가 없어 (Can`t Go) | Ben

  • The Guardians

    3. The Guardians

    Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes

    This drama's OST is daebak. It is like the whole package: it includes energetic hip hop tracks as well as calm tracks. The rapping in the hip hop songs sound super badass and edgy, and really suit the message of the lyrics that accompany it. I would highly suggest you search up the lyrics if you can't understand hangul ;)

    These are at the ones at the top of my list: 

    - AMEN | Damiano (feat. Jenyer)

    - 주르륵 (Trickling) | Raina (After School)

    - I Need a Light | Han Ga Eul 

  • Black

    4. Black

    Korean Drama - 2017, 18 episodes

    - Take Me Out | Nam Taehyun [ENG]

    - Like a Film | leeSA [ENG]

    - Another Me | Min Chae [ENG]

  • Chicago Typewriter

    5. Chicago Typewriter

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    I love this drama's OST since almost all of them have cello instrumentals in the background! It also comes with several non lyrical tracks that really suit this drama's genre :)

    - Come With Me | Boni Pueri [ENG]

  • Go Back Couple

  • Hit the Top

    7. Hit the Top

    Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes

  • The Bride of Habaek

    9. The Bride of Habaek

    I thought that the drama's storyline/acting was terrible, but I think that its OST is the only good thing from it xD 

    Most of the tracks are calm and I like them all, but these two are my personal favorites:

    - 이렇게 좋은 이유 (The Reason Why) | Yang Da Il

    - Glass Bridge | Savinna & Drones [ENG]

    10. Save Me

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    9.5

    Great drama! But don't get me started on the 3rd track in this drama's OST. It has the creepiest sound I have EVER heard. However, the other tracks are great!

  • Circle

    12. Circle

    Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes

    This drama only has two OST tracks, and they are of completely opposite genres. Both are so nice!!! The tranquil song (같이 걸을까 Walk with Me) has a nice instrumental, while the other song (Alive) has a electropop style!

  • Criminal Minds

    14. Criminal Minds

    Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes

    Didn't watch this drama, but its hip hop tracks caught my interest! This drama's OST only has two lyrical tracks, but also includes a lot of non lyrical tracks that bring you into the atmosphere of a suspenseful crime drama:)

    - Higher Plane | JENYER (Feat. Kang Min Kyung of Davichi)

    - Another Day | Yoo Hee Sung (N.Flying)

    5.5

    I'm not a big fan of this drama, since I lost interest after the eight episode. However, its  OSTs are great! Compared to School 2015, this drama's OST has more a lot more tranquil songs. Also, there is a nonlyrical OST called "Student X" which is super catchy. 

    Personal favorites:

    - Going Home | Tarin

    - 너에게 닿기를 (Reach To You) | Maktub

    - I Pray 4 You | BnN
