KUALA LUMPUR – When tight deadlines and workplace pressure combine, two friends will be forced to confront their long-underlying romantic feelings in Soundtrack #1 – the latest Korean drama to arrive on Disney+ Hotstar.

The series stars Han Sohee (My Name, Nevertheless, The World of Married) and Park Hyungsik (Happiness, Suits, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon).

Set in modern-day Korea, Soundtrack #1 tells the story of struggling songwriter Eunsoo (Han Sohee) and her best friend of 19 years, Sunwoo (Park Hyungsik). Tasked with the challenge of writing a hit song about unrequited love, the pair end up unexpectedly living together and sharing their stories of love in an attempt to finish the song.

Unbeknownst to Eunsoo, Sunwoo has long been hiding his true feelings for her out of fear of ruining their friendship and losing her forever. As the story evolves and the pair start to spend every waking moment together, unspoken feelings begin to emerge. The couple is forced to walk a fine line between friendship and romance.

Featuring a captivating story by Ahn Saebom and expert direction by Kim Heewon (Vincenzo, The Crowned Clown, Money Flower) Soundtrack #1 beautifully combines emotive storytelling with music from some of Korea’s most popular artists. They include Kyuhyun, Park Boram, and Davichi.

Soundtrack #1 is the latest Korean story to join the ever-growing library of content available on Disney+ Hotstar. Fans of Korean stories can also enjoy the recently released mystery-thriller Grid.

It tells the story of a shadowy figure who saved humanity but who has now been identified as an accomplice to a murderer. Rookie Cops is a campus romance drama that follows the lives of a group of reckless freshmen at the Korean National Police Academy.

The breakout sensation Snowdrop starring Blackpink’s Jisoo is a story about a university student who goes against her family and her country to help the man she loves. There are many other exciting stories from across the globe.

Viewers can begin streaming Soundtrack #1 on Disney+ Hotstar from March 23. – The Vibes, March 4, 2022
