South Korean balladeer K.Will has released his new single "You," which is a part of the official soundtrack (OST) for the latest KakaoTV original "Lovestruck in the City."
The new OST single, "You," was released on most music streaming services. Right down K.Will's alley, the new OST for "Lovestruck in the City" is a ballad that opens with a soft piano solo that leads to clear and emotional lyrics. K.Will connects immediately and brings the listener with him to an increasingly intense bridge and finale. Its lyrics perfectly captures the complexity of the love that has once eluded the lead character Park Jae Won, portrayed by Ji Chang Wook. Sharing a passionate yet short relationship with Lee Eun Oh (played by Kim Ji Won), Jae Won moved on with life without ever actually forgetting the love they once shared.

Esteemed music director Nam Hye-Seung and composer Park Chin Ho, both currently onboard as music directors for "Lovestruck in the CIty," have also worked on music for other hit Korean drama series "Goblin: The Great and Lonely God" and "It's Okay to Not Be Okay." Together, they are guiding the "Lovestruck" OST, which is definitely on the way to being one for the ages.
A music video uploaded on the 1theK YouTube channel shows scenes from the hit KakaoTV series, further impressing upon the audience how bright the love between Kim Ji-Woon and Ji Chang-Wook's characters must have been. It starts with Ji Chang Wook walking on a snow-filled day, seeing Kim Ji-Won's character in mirages. This painful sequence was interspersed with flashbacks from the earlier episodes in the series, including the now-iconic romantic exchanges at the beach, including their brief wedding ceremony.
K.Will has definitely proved his position as an OST royalty with his latest entry. Tagged by South Korean media as the "Prince of OST," K.Will has been behind hit K-Drama OSTs such as "Talk Love" from Descendants of the Sun, "The Only Person" from Pinocchio, "You Are Love" from Arang and the Magistrate, and "Care About You" from Start-Up.
