Soundtrack 1 Poster 2

No. of episodes: 4
Genre: Romance, Music, Friendship
Native title: 사운드트랙#1
Original network: Disney+

A beautiful romance drama between two childhood best friends, Han Sun Woo (Park Hyung Sik) and Seo Eun Soo (Han So Hee). Their 19 years of friendship took a romantic turn when Sun Woo have to crash at Eun Soo’s home for 2 weeks while helping her out with her project.

Han Sun Woo is an aspiring young photographer who hits a flat and uninspired phrase right before the exhibition he supposes to hold and has been preparing for a year.

Seo Eun Soo is a straightforward lyricist whose dream is to create a song that hits No.1 and top music charts. However, her latest song about unrequited love was not enough to touch the heart of the producer and was rejected. She fought for a second chance and got Sun Woo’s help to understand what is it like to be in a one-sided love relationship.

This drama is beautiful romance that is at no moment too cringy to watch. The story of them and individually has so much to say and translated to motion pictures. 

Seeing Park Hyung Sik pairing up with Han So Hee after watching Happiness and Nevertheless, I did not expect them turning out so well as onscreen couple. 

Overall: 5/5 (beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
