*In my opinion*                                       Official Sound Tracks (OSTs) are a huge part of Kdramas. OSTs are part of what makes Kdramas different from other forms of television. Because a limited group of songs are used frequently throughout the drama, the songs have to be placed carefully. This can make the drama great, or somewhat obnoxious (*cough* Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food *cough*). And it can be difficult to become accustomed to for first time drama watchers. Here is a list of what I consider to be the best OSTs. Please bear in mind that I haven't seen every single drama in existence and I picked OSTs that have stuck with me, even years after I've watched a drama. Goblin How could I not include Goblin?

There's no gravesite there by the way, everyone should know that. I walked down to the city's wall and the fountain where Kim Shin fell in love with Eun Tak. Finally, I believe that I walked into the Christmas shop where Eun Tak frequented. I can't be certain ...

Could this drama have been anymore perfect!? Well, yes, it could have been... but hardly ☺                                                     Goblin OST: Lasse Lindh- Hush Synopsis: Kim Shin was a general in the late Goryeo period, but after killing countless people in battles, he was made into an immortal being by the gods. This is his punishment as he cannot die until he finds a bride who can pull out a mystical sword in his heart and turn him into ashes. About 900 years later, he finds his bride, Ji Eun Tak. Although he doesn't believe Eun Tak is his bride at first, he begins to fall in love with her. And once he discovers she can, in fact, pull out the sword, he no longer wants to die. Both Eun Tak and Shin put off the sword removal until he finds out that if she doesn't end his life, she's fated to die soon. Shin decides to find a way aroun...
