Let’s admit it: we don’t just fall for the actors or the plot twists — we fall for the songs. K-Drama OSTs (Original Soundtracks) have a magical ability to ruin us emotionally in the best way. Sometimes, it’s not the scene that made us cry… it was the song playing in the background.
Whether you're heartbroken over a breakup, daydreaming about your K-drama crush, or just walking dramatically in the rain, these OSTs will be your soundtrack.
Here are 10 of the most iconic K-drama OSTs from 2011 to 2020 that we still can’t skip:
1. ❄️ “I Will Go to You Like the First Snow” – Ailee
Drama: Goblin (2016)
Mood: 100% guaranteed ugly cry.
From heartbreak scenes to heroic sacrifices, this song is the soul of Goblin. You don’t just listen — you feel every lyric.
2. ✨ “Stay With Me” – Chanyeol & Punch
Drama: Goblin (2016)

The minute those bells chime, your heart knows pain is coming. One of the most streamed OSTs ever — and for good reason.
3. 💖 “Everytime” – Chen & Punch
Drama: Descendants of the Sun (2016)
Mood: Flirtation and feel-good vibes.
If sunshine had a sound, it’d be this duet. It’s playful, romantic, and pairs perfectly with all those Song-Song Couple moments.
4. 💫 “Beautiful” – Crush
Drama: Goblin (2016)
Mood: Melancholic and magical.
Goblin did NOT come to play with its OSTs. This one is pure soul—soft vocals, dreamy visuals, and a chorus that lingers.
5. 🔥 “Start Over” – Gaho
Drama: Itaewon Class (2020)

Whether you’re chasing your dreams or just powering through Monday, this track feels like a battle cry. It was the 2020 anthem.
6. 🌺 “Aloha” – Jo Jung-suk
Drama: Hospital Playlist (2020)

This remake of a 90s classic hit differently when sung by one of the main actors. Sweet, nostalgic, and perfect for those slice-of-life moments.
7. 💌 “You Are My Everything” – Gummy
Drama: Descendants of the Sun (2016)
