Seems to me every thriller or law-centered k-drama has a specific type of soundtrack, usually, it’s something very dynamic and most likely rap tracks. So I decided to gather up my favorites tracks in one playlist:

The First Responders ost part 1
Season 1 of the new SBS show “The First Responders” is come to an end and I want to highlight the amazing ost of the show.
We have a mix of dynamic badass tracks but because the show touches a lot of sensitive topics, the ost contains ballads too.
KIHYUN sings “You’re dancing like a devil Oh Step into the fire I’m on higher” in the track “Fire” used at the end of each episode while another track is rap by Paloalto – Rescue with another powerful lyric “Save with this dedication and courage Without fear, every day”, those are very dynamic parts of the ost.

Seonjeongjeon Hall1Seonjeongjeon Hall – King’s study. is the sacred place where the Kings of Joseon decided the national affairs and arranged meetings to discuss the political matters.
It’s the place where the history is made.
And because of that Wonbeom can’t bear the thought of his comfortable study being occupied by a bunch of people now. The unfamiliar woman plays on gayageum some calm melody and if Wonbeom see a couple of kisaengs dancing with fans in their hands he wouldn’t be surprised.

Wonbeom always thought about himself as a patient man. After all, even his plans to avenge his family and take over the throne were thoughtfully plotted for two years.
So even though he can’t catch the moment when his baby kicks in Soyong’s womb, he isn’t upset. It’s just not the time for him to feel it yet.
“I am sorry, Your Majesty,” Soyong murmurs in a sorrowful voice, still pressing his palms against her belly. “The baby was kicking just a moment ago!”

A gentle wind sways willows leaves on long slim branches making calming almost musical noise. Twenty fifth King of Joseon, King Cheoljong, also known by his given name Wonbeom, is enjoying his walk by the gardens and big green fields that are a part of the palace. His mood is up today because he’s going to meet his beloved future wife. Correction, second wife. But in his heart, she’s one and only. The gardens are full of various beautiful flowers and blooming trees but none of them is exactly what Wonbeom is looking for.

Everyone has a favorite part of their day and for Cheoljong it is when the Head Eunuchs informs him that the appeals are finished for the day.
After that announcement, the King is free to do whatever he pleases. He may dedicate the rest of the day to training or studying, but today he has more important and enjoyable activities in mind. Today he has dinner planned with his Queen in Daejojeon Hall1Daejojeon Hall – Queen of Joseon residence after the wedding.. And maybe more than just dinner, he hopes.

Hanyang1Hanyang was the capital and largest city in Joseon. It was the center of the country’s government and home to the royal family and high ministers. As a result, the city hosted a constant undercurrent of political intrigue between various factions vying for control of the government. Now it’s Seoul – the capital of the Republic of Korea (South Korea). is a huge and noisy city. It is so different from the village Wonbeom was forced to live in after he and what was left of his family went into exile. At day, the Hanyang streets remind him of rivers running through the forest as people weave and scuttle between hanoks2Hanok – a house. in their hurry to be somewhere. Others haggle with sellers at the market or converse in an open tavern.

Every time Cheoljong thinks he finally understands his wife, she proves him completely wrong. He thought that he had figured out why the Queen was so upset with her pregnancy news the first time: the male part of her personality from those times was afraid to lose himself inside a pregnant woman’s body. Both Cheoljong and Soyong thought that Bong Hwan was happy to go home before labor (an opportunity Soyong was a bit jealous of when she felt the full force of her first contractions).
Continue readingChapter 4: Queen’s lover
Every new day without seeing the King feels like torture for Soyong. She promised herself that she would give him space to think everything through, but as time passes by she becomes more and more distressed. She is so anxious these days that Court Lady Choi and Hong Yeon start worrying for her health.
Soyong gave Cheoljong an uneasy task, she understands that. He needs to make an important and life-changing decision. But at the same time, she is scared. She knows now that even without the King’s love she will be able to find her happiness inside the palace. But her heart aches for his love. Craves it.
