Short and Sweet

Soundtrack #1 tells the story of two individuals who have been best friends friends since childhood and are now in their early thirties. They've been through a lot together, through many ups and downs in life. However, certain circumstances led them to live together for two weeks. Is it possible that these two weeks will help them realise their emotions?

Soundtrack #1 feels like a typical romance drama, except it's only a few hours long. But, t he portrayal of the "friends to lovers" trope feels very realistic and pragmatic. The story is straightforward, but the manner in which it is told is entertaining. The story moves at a good pace, which, combined with the cast and their performances, makes it enticing to watch.

Han Sun Woo and Lee Eun Soo are played by Park Hyung Sik and Han So Hee, respectively. Han Sun Woo is a charming and attractive photographer who struggles to conceal his feelings for his best friend, Eun Soo. Lee Eun Soo is a lively and straightforward budding lyricist who is still unaware fo her feelings for Sun Woo.

Their acting was excellent, and they were able to accurately convey the emotions of the characters. I don't have much to say about their performance. I enjoyed their chemistry and hope to see them in more dramas.

The music was lovely, and I have grown fond of it. The soundtracks are fantastic, with a well-balanced selection of songs that fit the story's mood. There are 12 tracks in total:
 "Love beyond words" (사랑은 말로 표현하는게 아니래요) by KYUHYUN
 "Want to be happy"(행복해지고 싶어)  by Park Boram
"Your tender heart hurts me" (소녀 같은 맘을 가진 그댈 생각하면 아파요) by DAVICHI
"My Love" by Kim Jong Kook
"Talk to me"  (나에게 말해요) by KIM JAE HWAN
"Prettiest One" (너만 예뻐) by Standing Egg
"A little more" (아주 조금만 더) by DOYOUNG
"Wanna be your lover" (이젠 친구에서 연인이 되고 싶어) by Monday Kiz
"We'll shine brighter than any other stars" (우린 어떠한 별보다 빛날 거야) by Lee Hi
"Love Love Love" by SEOBIN
"Miss you more, I'm sorry" (더 미안하고 보고 싶고 그래) by Lee Yejoon 
"Love beyond words" by DOKO
 "I'm more sorry and miss you" (더 미안하고 보고 싶고 그래) by Twenty
All of their songs elicit such vibrant feelings in the listener that he or she can't help but love the music. My personal favourites are Love Beyond Words and Wanna Be Your Lover.

Finally, there isn't much else to say about this brief drama. This drama was enjoyable and satisfying. Everything went off without a hitch. I'll gladly rewatch this drama at some point in the future, owing to its length. This is a good drama to watch if you want something short and sweet that will captivate you to the heart.
