Shows with banging music
Even if it's just one song or part of a song, I'll honour shows where I've loved the music here! In no particular order!
-
1. Why Women Love
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
This has a banging intro and outro song, and I never got bored of the instrumental variations of the songs. There were only 5 songs in total including intro and outro, yet it didn't feel repetitive at all!
-
2. Couple of Mirrors
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
The intro is what pulled me in. The other songs are also amazing for the moments they're used!
-
3. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
The intro had a spectacular riff, and listening to the full song, the bridge really captivates me. Otherwise, the other songs like Kim (Jeff) and Chay's (Barcode's) songs, and the many, many variations of the main theme used throughout are beautiful.
-
4. GAP
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
I liked the intro song, though I didn't notice the other music in the series.
-
5. Love in the Air
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
Both couples' themes I liked, but especially 'My Strongest Love' which was the first couple's song. I appreciated that they all could sing decently.
-
6. Even Sun
Thai Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
To this day, I still have this intro song stuck in my head, and it's been a good few months since I watched this. It's good though!
-
7. Nitiman
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
The fact that it had a band was what drew me to it. Such upbeat songs, which I loved, and one of the main characters singing a song live and not getting completely edited over??? Yes please!!! :D
-
8. YYY
Thai Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
This had a banging intro. I still vibe to it in the goofiest way when I remember it in my mind!
-
9. Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko
Japanese Special - 2021, 1 episode
?Ore wa mobu?
If you don't catch yourself singing to this after you've finished either season then well done. I adored both seasons' variations to the song and dance as the intro!
-
10. Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko 2
Japanese Special - 2022, 1 episode
Same comment as its prequel! This kept the essence of what I loved the same in the intro and yet changed it! :D
-
11. Cold Blooded Intern
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Such an upbeat song as the intro gives seriously similar vibes to 'Like Him' by Yakisa from Why Women Love with both having high pitched but not annoying vocals!
-
12. Hidden Agenda
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This series hadn't finished when I added it to the list, and it's still on my hold list (as of 4/12/23) But despite it being on hold, I keep remembering the banging intro which I quite liked. Joong's voice is amazing. Look, I get that even with autotune you can tell that Dunk isn't the best singer in the full song, but I think Joong deserves the recognition, especially since it's only in the breaks between episode parts that Dunk's (chorus) part occasionally shows up. Also, ignoring their voices, the melody is quite catchy and I find myself humming it a lot recently.
To be fair to him, the rest of the song is fine, and at least they look like they're having fun in the MV.
-
13. Why R U?
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
This was music based, I adored their songs, and yeah, the music in this one stuck with me! :)
-
14. TharnType
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Look, Kaonwah has an amazing voice (he's in Nitiman as a much more likable character which I think suits him more!!!) I also remembered the bridgy bit where Tharn mouths the words at Type, which was a cute touch, and also Tharn was a boss at twirling those drumsticks (which I never mastered in my time playing drums lol), though that didn't save my opinion of this drama. However, this is honouring music which I liked, and yeah, I liked that song for its catchiness!
-
15. Sotus
Thai Drama - 2016, 15 episodes
This had quite the epic intro song - perfect for a story about hazing uni 1st years.
-
16. SOTUS S
Thai Drama - 2017, 13 episodes
This had again an appropriately epic intro song!
-
17. Ameiro Paradox
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Go Sign by Billy Laurent - this intro song made me immediately pause and search for it. It's one of my favourites, and is the only drama song I had on my personal playlists. I made a drama playlist now, but this one is in my multilingual banger one because of the vibes.
-
18. Only Friends
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Khaotung popped OFF with that OST! Also, I like the music throughout - including some moments which I can't spoil but you do hear some singing live!
-
19. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Romantic Devil is incredible and Coldin truly bosses this OST. The bassline is catchy, the melody sticks and it's just a banger. This did in fact help me power through coding my first website from Feb-May 22! :D
Also, the background music is well chosen, and I noticed it.
-
20. Dangerous Romance
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
The joint song had me hooked!
-
21. Lily Fever
Korean Drama - 2015, 9 episodes
The intro reminded me of YYY, and it's highly enjoyable simply listening to it!
-
22. 2gether
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
It had such lovely music, and as I've said before, I'm weak for musical series! I might remember wrong but I liked that they didn't immediately drown live vocals with the recorded track!
-
23. Kieta Hatsukoi
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
I was surprised to discover both leads are in groups and sung the OSTs with their respective groups! The songs were perfect, and I adored the lyrics!
-
24. Old Fashion Cupcake
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
blue blur feat mabanua by Ryu Matsuyama. Intro song. I remembered the exact way it's written off the top of my head so enough said there about how I loved it!
-
25. Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoshi
Japanese Drama - 2023, 9 episodes
Intro and closing songs were bops, despite the closing song having interesting lyrics!
-
26. We Go Fast on Trust
Chinese Drama - 2023, 22 episodes
Opening + closing songs, as well as some songs over some special moments which show their understanding that "less is more"!!! I need to search the OST for this!
-
27. Invisible
Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
The whole OST playlist is such a bop it's currently linked on my profile!
-
28. 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
The opening and closing themes are bops! I think about them to this day!
