The
27-track Kitchen soundtrack finally hits stores after the release of the
movie early last year. Starring top actors and actresses, Joo Ji Hoon
(as Park Durae), Shin Min Ah (as Ahn Morae), and Kim Tae Woo (as Han
Sang In), the film revolves around the love triangle relationship
between a married couple and an unexpected stranger who shakes the
stable bond between the former. Also included in the soundtrack is a
special DVD that includes the official movie trailer, music videos, and a
special behind the scene footage of the three lovers.

Produced
by music director, Kim Jun Sung, the soundtrack basically consists of
short instrumentals ranging from one to three minutes that incorporates
instruments such as chimes and violins to bring out a lively mellow
atmosphere. Dialogues from the film are also included to give listeners
another chance to reminisce about the movie.

One track I enjoyed
was “Unfamiliar Matters” which unlike most of the songs in the album
portrays a more gloomy and mysterious setting, which I enjoyed. The
piano’s and violin’s beautiful harmonization was very intriguing, worth
taking a listen.

The main track would be “After One Year” which
is sung by the actress Shin Min Ah. Included at the end of the album, it
is one of the only two songs that include vocals. Like most of the
songs in the soundtrack, this is also a very mellow slow-paced track
that starts off with beautiful violin and acoustic guitar accompaniment.
Shin’s vocals soon follow, and her quiet, relaxing singing captivates
listeners.

Personally, the instrumentals were a tad too short,
leaving listeners hungry for more. Don’t get me wrong, I love the style
and everything, but I don’t think everyone would be impressed. I think
the soundtrack would thus be perfect for “Kitchen” fans who want to take
home a piece of the film with them.
