Can’t Forgive you, The OST of Temptation of Wife
Original Soundtracks were simply background music a few years ago but it has changed its role. It contains the story and let people know what the drama is about.
Then how to make drama OSTs? Let’s dig some secret from it.
? OST, How to be made?
It is planned when the synopsis is formed. The production company hires a music director to decide the overall ambience. The music director begins to make an OST based on the synopsis. Music director and writer have to continually communicate because it must contain the filming purpose, performing direction, and story development.
Two or three scripts are ready one month before on air due to the schedule. The script is a good reference for the lyric. Especially the title music needs to reflect the content and its flow. Choi Sung-jun music director, Walking Mom, Cain and Abel on SBS, said that main title music is made with easy melody and lyric to show the color of drama
The mastering work is completed before the first episode starts. The OST is released when the third episode is on air but recently it can be released before the drama is on air to create the atmosphere.
? OST, How to make lyric?
The synopsis decides the lyric. If the drama is based on adultery, the lyric is about a woman bearing a grudge. If it is based on love, it is usually about stimulating feelings.
In East of Eden, MBC, there comes the music Are you listing by Lee Seong-chul when Dong-chul and Young-ran cry for they can’t be together. The lyric says I will wait for you always although you forget me first. This matches with the scene and moves the audience’s heart.
Can’t forgive you, the main title music of The temptation of wife, also contains its situation and helps its immersion. The writer, Lee Kyung, explains that I thought about it in my point of view when I read the synopsis. I wrote it using the second hand imagination. Yu Young-sun music director said it seems to have a synergic effect when the lyric that all the women can understand and drama match together.
Recently making OST is so important that it can decide success and failure of the drama. Writers definitely refer to the synopsis because the link between the two is significant.
? OST, How to choose the OST vocal?
Today many vocals participate drama OST as visiting vocals. There is a distinct tendency. Top vocals do mini series work and rookies do longer drama works. What is the reason for that? According to Director Yu, most of the mini series are made by outsourced productions. They put lots of money to make huge scaled dramas. Therefore they think selling OST as an additional profit. Top vocals likely bring more profit.
However daily or weekend dramas are usually as long as 50 episodes and self made by the stations. Thus right rookie vocals can have the opportunity because they care more of the voice and ambience than of profit.
Usually 5 or 6 vocals participate for an album. Top vocals get two and rookies get three songs. There are many singers want to participate the work after popularity of OST gone up.
? OST, The higher self-esteem
Today there are many well made OST albums due to the great musicians participating OST works. The OST is introduced automatically when it is sold to overseas. It is a good chance to show Korean music and contribute to create more Korean waves.
The profit out of OSTs are another good factor. It costs about 100,000 dollars to make an OST album. It is the same investment to make a music album but it will be quickly earned before the end of the episode if there reaches a good enough viewer’s rate. On top of that, It will make a decent profit if the main title music is hit just like If by Tae-yeon or Are you listening by Lee Seong-chul. These music made profit worth of the 2 or 3 episodes production cost. These are the main reasons why OST market is developing incessantly.
