Drama theme-song ringtones
by javabeans
Somehow the mention of ringtones came up on the last Open Thread, and I posted some ringtones that I’d made of You’re Beautiful OST songs. I got some requests, so I thought I’d put more up in a separate post, in case anyone else was interested.
(These are short mp3 clips that you can download onto your phone IF your phone is capable of mp3 ringtones. I know some phones have size limits for mp3s — mine is 500kb — and most of these clips are under 30 seconds and in the 200kb-400kb range. Download link at bottom.)
For example:
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
I’m sure most of you are familiar with this soundtrack so I don’t need to post clips, but I’ll put them up just in case:
Jang Geun-seok – “말도 없이” (Without Words)

Some of you expressed reservations about using ringtones that might be embarrassing to sound in public, so here are a few instrumental versions to spare you the mortification.
“여전히” (Still) bossa version

And the rest, in no particular order:

STRONGEST CHIL WOO
Some dramas barely left a blip on the radar but had some memorable tunes, like this one. I like this song so much that I made three different ringtones out of three different parts of the song. It’s Joseon Korea with a dash of Zorro/Americana thrown in as well. What’s not to love?
Strongest Chil-woo OST – “Western Whistle” – intro portion

Part 3
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
RETURN OF ILJIMAE
This drama’s soundtrack has some of the most beautiful instrumentals I’ve ever heard in a drama, particularly the plum-blossom theme song below.
Return of Iljimae theme
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Return of Iljimae – “매화가 흐드러진 날 ” (A Day the Plum Blossoms Were Beautiful)

I.S. (Infinite of Spring) – “Asian Flower.” This isn’t expressly from the soundtrack, but was used in an episode.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS
To be honest, I can’t quite see anyone using this ringtone without (1) a healthy dose of irony, and/or (2) shame, but I had to make it nonetheless!
The infamous “Paradise” by T-Max
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
STORY OF A MAN
This song still gives me a little thrill whenever I hear that crescendoing guitar riff. I actually use this as my alarm clock song in the mornings:
Story of a Man OST – “세상을 너에게” (The World To You)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
GOONG
Another drama with one of the best soundtracks around. Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that the PD who did this series also did Return of Iljimae.
Goong Theme Song
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Goong – “Crystal Flower”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
GOONG S
Unfortunately for Goong S‘s case, I think its soundtrack was better than its plot. 🙁
Second Moon – “구름같은 세상” (Cloudlike world)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
MY FAIR LADY
Davichi – “Hot Stuff
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
MY NAME IS KIM SAM-SOON
Clazziquai – “Be My Love”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
THE WORLD THEY LIVE IN
I don’t feel particular attachment to this drama, but I think it has a great, peppy theme song.
As One – “La la la… Love Song”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
OTHER
And then, here are some other selections from some Korean indie and electronic bands I like. Sometimes you might not want a highly recognizable (or potentially embarrassing) ringtone to give you away in public, but maybe you want something a little different, something that other people might be intrigued by and/or envy you for. I think these do a good job:
Clazziquai – “Sweety”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Hourmelts – “Your World, My Nest, Vague Trust”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Humming Urban Stereo – “Sounds Market”

Mot – “11 Over 8”

Thanks JB! When I saw the rington for BBF, the first thought was : no way would anyone wants it blasting from their phones at will. Then I saw your comments. How true! :D
I'm currently using Joo Ji-hoon's solo from Naked Kitchen as my ring tone. Its ok since I move around people who do not watch Korean shows. However, I was in a Korean restaurant one day and yes, it went off and you can imagine how quick I was to grab the phone to shush it. :D

Thanks for the ringtones, javabeans! I have Lee HongGi's Such Good Words song from episode 14 stuck in my head. I was thinking that they should have included it on the OST 2... but then again, it wouldn't have the same effect if he wasn't crying at the same time.

Wow!
Thanks Sarah.
The thing that amazed me is JSG and PSY voice! I never thought he the one who sing that songs!! Mayvbe that songs is another pop songs but I amazed how he can sings!
And our lil angel PSH; I have heard she sing at ep 1 and 7, So, ep 1 like ok I read it here that she sing it by herself and it was an angelic and beaaaaautiful voice a rare for an actress to have. Usually people just dubbed when it comes to a drama about a story of people who is/can sing. But later in episode 7, she sang too! What another beautiful voice! and last but not least, my fav OST the SUNSHINE!!
I love, love that song. I always thought, who sang this song? Never in my mind - a slightest- thought that she was the one.
How could she sang SO MANY different tones of voices and music! Aren't she simply amazing and brilliant in singing. MUCH MUCH better that many of those so called idol-girls group out there. Not that I want her to be a singer, I rather she acting since I can't stand if people don't appreciate her talents the way it should deserved.
I thought Goo Hye Sun can sing but PHY amaze me TRILLION times more! ^^

Aww... thanks for sharing JB...
i didn't know Goong has the same music PD with RoI... they have such great music... and how could i forget all the fabulous music from CP...
the Strongest Chilwoo OST, WOW!!! i never watched SC, so i didn't know the soundtracks, the song is awesome (imagining Eric in cowboy costume fighting corrupt joseon officials, lol)
from march this year i've been using SJ's Sorry Sorry ringtone on my phone, not the actual song though, it's the teaser i used, coz the actual song is like you said (as i quote) "Sometimes you might not want a highly recognizable (or potentially embarrassing) ringtone to give you away in public". and i love the teaser so much, i used it as my ringtone, and if i picked the phone quick enough, nobody would've guessed it's a korean song , LOL...
one friend of mine has a child who like Spongebob so much, his ringtone is the opening song of Spongebob, LOL :P
