Getting hooked on K-Dramas is not unusual because of the gorgeous cast and gripping plots. But one of my favorite parts of watching a series is when they use the most beautiful songs at pivotal moments, heightening the emotions and captivating the viewers.
Every so often, an original soundtrack (OST) becomes so iconic that you can easily see the K-Drama scene unfold as soon as you hear the song's first few notes. From ballads to pop tunes to classical scores, here’s a roundup of our favorite tracks—and moments—from K-Dramas. Reminisce and binge-watch them all on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!
Princess Hours – Perhaps Love
While this track was used extensively to highlight the kilig moments between Prince Lee Shin (Ju Ji-hoon) and Chae Gyeong (Yoon Eun-hye), one scene, particularly, has become the most memorable, with the song playing in the background. In episode 16, the main leads head to the beach to see the sunrise, and as they frolic on the sand, it finally becomes clear to Lee Shin that he has fallen in love with Chae Gyeong. Talk about swoon!

Master’s Sun – Touch Love
Yoon Mirae has many memorable OSTs under her belt, but this song, in particular, stands out, especially in Episode 9, when Joo Joong-won (So Ji-sub) unexpectedly confesses to the ghost possessing Tae Gong-sil (Gong Hyo-jin) his true feelings for the latter.

Reply 1988 – Hyehwadong
Park Bo-ram’s song practically goes hand in hand with the legendary series—just hearing the opening notes will automatically make you think of the families residing in the neighborhood of Ssangmun-dong! The song will hit you the hardest in the final scenes of the penultimate episode, where you’ll likely be left in a puddle of tears, wondering how this masterpiece can end.

Goblin — Round And Round
Goblin arguably has one of the best OSTs in the world of K-Dramas, but this song by Heize and Han Suji tops the list because you’ll automatically think of THAT moment in the series — when Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) and Grim Reaper (Lee Dong-wook) coolly walk out of a dark tunnel in Episode 2 to save Ji Eun-tak (Kim Go-eun) from her kidnappers! It’s such a memorable scene that succeeding K-Dramas even made parodies out of it! Stream Goblin on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!
Secret Garden — That Woman
Secret Garden is a cult classic among K-Drama fans, and this heartwrenching track by Baek Ji-young definitely tops the list as an unforgettable song that we can instantly connect to an iconic K-Drama moment. It plays in the background in Episode 17 when Kim Joo-won (Hyun Bin) makes the difficult decision to permanently switch souls with Gil Ra-im (Ha Ji-won) so she can live. *cries in Korean* Stream Secret Garden on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!
