Wow

It wasn't what I was expecting from this drama.

It was boring, nothing new, the characters weren't so likable (petty jealousy is a very awful character trait), the music was forgetable.

One year jump of time in 4 episodes drama was so disapointing...

I'm sad that PHS chose this role because after Happiness, it was kinda weird to watch him playing the same one way lover.

Han So-Hee wasn't bad but she didn't bring anything special to her character neither...

The direction was pretty at least.

Nice and comfy but predictable. I'm glad I binged it or I might not have been motivated enough to finish it. I haven't seen Han So-hee in a lead role before and I thought she was pretty bland. But I did like her confession scene.

I'd give this great cinematography ✅. I get carried away with the setting since it has this dreamy effect to it. I definitely enjoyed watching this, mainly because it's short, although the unsaid could have been said so that their time apart wouldn't feel like loss but like longing.

It was fine. It could have been done over two days if they really needed to stretch it out. Absolutely nothing to write home about.

Pleasant, harmless, boring. Why was it called Soundtrack? Totally forgettable music. After Couple, Nevertheless and Name I was expecting a lot more.

The weird thing is the way they acted awkward around each other when they are living together making them like they just become friend recently than from 19 years ago. The character are 2 dimensional. The dialog is superficial. Han So-hee acting bubbly doesnt suit her like she pretends something she is not. ha ha maybe her type of beauty that doesnt match this kind of character?
I think Disney should released it later because PSH just came out from the drama which although has different genre but almost the same set up (friend-to-lover, cohabitation). PSH and HYJ are more natural, have more chemistry. I still can't get out from their ship then come this drama 🙃. PHS 🔫
Disney seems like a group people who produce K drama without actually watch it, furthermore love it. All their steps are miss fire.... tsk tsk tsk

It was good for passing time and adding another tally to my end-of-the-year watched shows list. Nothing memorable to write home about. For a show literally titled soundtrack, the music sure was bland and forgettable. A choice made more glaring by the fact that both Han So-hee and Park Hyung-shik have been in dramas with excellent soundtracks before.

This should’ve been a one-episode special or a movie. Not a great track record for Disney+ kdramas so far.

I'm glad that I can now binge the series in a mini-marathon. I know that Soundtrack doesn't bring much of anything new story-wise, but I'm a sucker for Park Hyung Sik 😅 Thank you so much for the recaps!

I like it as a comfortable watch. Everything and everyone is pretty.
I just don’t understand the format. What is Disney trying to gain?

Disney and Netflix will ruin kdramaworld. It is so sad to have to take refuge in cdrama if we love morality, respect and conservative values.

I waited to binge this show. It was pretty, but nothing special. Am I the only one disappointed with her lyrics? Like they weren’t anything great. There were some chemistry between them but it disappeared with the time jump. Sorry but PHS’s eyes does but look at anyone like he does PBY in SWDB.

Wow, tough crowd. The story wasn’t anything revolutionary but this was such a comforting show to watch, I would actually recommend it to anyone looking for something soft and pretty with some cute, a dash of angst, and a bit of romance. Solid B+, but from the comments here, sounds like people are rating it an F? Oh, and I actually really liked the music! It wasn’t used well in every ep (ep 2 was kind of a mess), but in this ep especially it was well-utilized, IMO.

I understand where the criticisms are coming from, though. After Happiness, which for me (and many), was a wow project for PHS, this seemed tame and somewhat familiar but less impressive. But it was still well-acted! And I understand why he chose it. Sunwoo is a lovely character, but PHS has so often chosen women-centric stories rather than projects based on his own role, and Eunsoo’s arc by ep 4 was pretty interesting and well done. And anyway, PHS said in a Japanese interview that Soundtrack #1 was his gift to fans. After SWFBS, he basically turned down romcoms for fear of being typecast, and also it wasn’t what he wanted to do (he’s consistently said he wants to do thriller, noir, or action in interviews), but he knew that’s what his fans like. So he squeezed in a short and sweet mini drama in between his two bigger, more intense projects (Happiness and his Sageuk that won’t come out til late 2022), plus he gets to work with THE it girl of the moment (HSH) and the director of Vincenzo. Same for HSH, squeezing this between more intense projects, and it sounds like the actors had a good time and had a nice, relaxed shoot. And the relaxed feel did come through, I really found this a relaxing watch.

I get that this might be a genre and story that not everyone can relate to and enjoy, but how come some many are criticizing the soundtrack element.
Everyone talks about how much they expected great soundtracks to come, but no songs were memorable.
For me, isn't the whole point of a soundtrack to complement a movie/drama/scene, etc rather than to overshadow it? That's why it is a soundtrack and not a regular song. It kind of helps to set the mood, emotions, story, and such. So, in that way, this drama did well for me. The songs might not be memorable on their own, but they complemented the scenes and narrative (with lyrics) quite well.
Overall, I enjoyed this short drama a lot. Han So Hee is finally redeemed in my eyes after her Nevertheless character Nabi, which I disliked quite a lot, actually, so much I could not empathize with her as a character or the actress at all.
Park Hyung Shik is always a delight, he can emote a thousand words with just his face and eyes alone. xD
Very mellow, cute, and sweet. Definitely, I will come back to this someday, when I need something warm and calm :)

So satisfying.... :-)
-tropes seemed fresh and well-done
-beautiful leads, terrific acting
-GREAT back up cast: Park Hoon, Kim Jooo Hun, and many more
-cameos: Seo In-Guk!
-no yucky love triangle, no OTT melodrama, just a little bit of angst
-a little spearation, not really noble idiocracy
-happy ending
-all the "feels" in only 4 episodes (yes, it could have been a movie)
.....nothing new but just comforting, very well-done and lovable.

This would be a great repeater and/or "palette cleanser"

First off, I just finished this drama.

Unlike my comments from a year ago when I felt so bored watching just 10 mins of the first ep, I binged all the 4 eps in one sitting today. The show needs to be watched when the mood of the watcher matches with the pace of the show and what it has to offer.

The slow offers slowness, prettiness, coldness (compared with When the Weather is Fine), realistic portrayal of friends-to-lovers trope, some OTT things like the careers of the leads and how successful they become, and some whimsical feels. If you are in the mood for all of this, then you’re in for a ride.

It’s not a usual Kdrama with characters speaking all the time, it’s quite quiet. The ML is quiet, and he portrays a character who has long loved had romantic feelings for his friend very well.

It can get boring sometimes, but you can think of being bored as something good. I read from somewhere that people now seek something stimulating all the time now, and a good dose of boredom can be good.
