11 Amazing K-Drama OSTs Sung By K-Pop Idols
One of the best things about K-dramas is the OSTs. The role of soundtracks is as crucial as the script lines and actors’ performance, since the music sets the tone for the scene and brings the emotions to life. The bonus part is when these mesmerizing melodies are performed by K-pop idols who have lent their voices to many dramas throughout the years.
