[Korean Drama OSTs] Classic Popular Songs That Color the Story: Best Masterpieces

Just StayHyolyn

[MV] Hyolyn(효린) – Just Stay (서른이지만 열일곱입니다 OST Part 2) Thirty But Seventeen OST Part 2

Shin Hye-sun and younger-actor type Yang Se-jong starred in it.

It’s a love story between a heroine who lost consciousness at 17 and woke up at 30, and a young man who has closed himself off from the world.

“Just Stay” sings about the romance between two people who are 30 years old yet as pure as teenagers.

You can’t help but feel your heart flutter as these two, each bearing their own wounds, sometimes clash yet grow closer.

It would be wonderful to experience a straightforward, school-days kind of love even at an adult age.

FutureRed Velvet

[MV] Red Velvet (레드벨벳) – 미래 [스타트업 OST Part.1 (START-UP OST Part.1)]

Songs that play during memorable scenes really stick with you, don’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Future.” It’s part of the OST for the drama “Start-Up,” performed by the girl group Red Velvet.

I’ll avoid spoilers, but this song plays at the end of episode 1.

Their clear, pure vocals and the lyrics—which mirror the characters’ feelings—are truly moving.

It’s also a great recommendation if you’re looking for something refreshing or an uplifting anthem.
