Fav Soundtracks
My first love was instrumental music. When I couldn't speak, I hummed music to myself, so background music is a big deal for me as I will naturally be very tuned into it. For vocals, I will pause a show to google a song that has taken my interest.
For C Dramas, Liu Yuning is probably involved.
Often find myself enjoying the BGM more because of my natural inclination but I have listed with both in mind
-
1. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
I dont normally like thai soundtracks but this one used a lot of western lyrically music, the sort of indie songs I would listen to in the car or on a walk. Cool, laidback freedom.

2. Till the End of the Moon
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
Despite dropping the show, I think this my favourite OST & BGM. It's that achingly beautiful and dramatic feel that resonates deep down
-
3. The Lotus Casebook
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
This one feels very laidback and soft, similar to Li Lianhua's character
-
4. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
My first CDrama and the biggest OST to date. So you know it was successful to have put that much effort into it. I was floored the first time I heard the lyrical version of the theme in the show, when Wei Ying was falling unconscious. Both Yibo and Xiao have their own versions but I like them both together best.

5. Love and Redemption
Chinese Drama - 2020, 59 episodes
This one holds probably my favourite Cdrama theme so far. Love Like Coloured Glass. Also Cheng Yi sings in this one LOL Overall, I find it quite varied to suit the ups and downs of the show
-
6. Yu Feng Xing
Chinese Drama - 2024, 39 episodes
I find this one very dreamy and cheerful
-
7. Story of Kunning Palace
Chinese Drama - 2023, 38 episodes
Similar feel to Until the End of the Moon, but a more haunting feeling
-
8. Cang Lan Jue
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Very similar to Until the End of the Moon. Despite being bored throughout the show, I really loved the OST. It hit me in the feels.

9. Chen Xiang Ru Xie
Chinese Drama - 2022, 38 episodes
Cheng Yi also sings in this one. I remember Agarwood standing out the most. I also remember the flute being very powerful in this as well
-
10. The Fiery Priest
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
The music lets you know what kind of show you've gotten yourself into lol
-
11. In Blossom
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
Another show I dropped but liked the music. Proof that I pay a lot of attention to soundtracks and BGM LOL
