Soundtrack #1

I actually paid for a Disney+ subscription just to watch this series. Little did I know that it was going to be such a short series. I expected much more romance/intimacy from these two beautiful actors. "Nevertheless", I don't regret my subscription. I watch all of Park Hyung-sik's work and have seen his transformation from "High Society", to "Happiness" and is a delight to watch every time. Soundtrack #1 had great music and beautiful imagery. It is lighthearted and good clean love. Now I realize why Disney was the right streaming service for it. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed and you can watch it's entirety in one sitting.

This latest K-drama from Han So Hee has a mediocre but well-written story. The decision to only present 4 episodes is a good thing with material that is not verbose and straight to the point. Unfortunately, because it's short, I don't get the romantic moments that should be more between Han So Hee and Park Hyung Sik.

Soundtrack#1 is a romantic work that was as beautiful and exquisite as a picture, with everything in its place to the point, however it was a shame that it couldn't last for many episodes, which might have been a better treatment in terms of character development and relationship of friendship to love exposure.

The drama has a good soundtrack, soothing and alleviating oneself from any sadness, to create a good mood. Soundtrack #1 elicited sympathy from viewers by depicting the romantic story of 'between love and friendship' in a cute manner, bearing satisfactory results, although it could have been much more than that.

The major point missing in the drama was the connection they formed, their past wasn't much explored, how they connected and 20 years later, the bond still prevailed. This could have had a major impact in the story which otherwise ended with a very simple and cliche ending.

My Rating : 6.5/10.

Han Seon Woo played by Park Hyung-sik is a successful photographer who has been in love for a long time with a friend of nearly twenty years (actually nineteen) but has never told her for fear of losing their friendship. Lee Eunsu played by Han So-hee is the friend who is a successful lyric writer and is oblivious to his feelings but is not aware of how important he is in her life. It is only four episodes and has a small supporting cast but the story is well told and all the actors do a great job particularly the leads. It is an enjoyable watch with a delightful soundtrack so I would recommend if you want a light romantic drama.

Soundtrack #1 is a straightforward friends-to-lovers story revolving around artistry & the trials of life. The aesthetics are great & the friendship between the leads is believable & worth investing in before moving onto their romance. While this does include unrequited love, it doesn't feel forced & it feels like a natural progression of the feelings built in the relationship between the leads. It also stars Park Hyungsik, one of my favorite romantic drama heroes. Han Sohee & Hyungsik do a great job providing balance to each other on screen. I recommend this to someone who wants a really simple, sensible story with some amount of relationship drama with a sprinkle of comedy that shows the growth between two people who actually don't mess up their friendship in the process of becoming romantically involved.
