Sound:Track

For 42 years, KBS has been the only Korean network to uphold the tradition of single-episode TV movies. Every year, its «Drama Specials» feature short, standalone stories that are often more intimate than traditional series.

The first poster reveals the anthology's tracklist: 8 songs, each of which inspired a TV movie and gives the anthology its title. It launches on November 18.

A poster shaped like a playlist

On the poster is a simple handwritten note, like a hand-scribbled reading list. It lists the eight titles in the anthology, which are also the titles of the songs that inspired them:

1. You Are More Than the Scent of Spring
2. After the Play Ends
3. When My Loneliness Calls You
4. Bye, Summer
5. Reminiscence
6. Chronicles
7. Lie, Lie, Lie
8. Autumn Morning

Like the tracks on a single album, these eight standalone stories form a cohesive whole. Each of these songs will also serve as the soundtrack for the episode it inspired.

While music serves as the common thread, the genres vary from episode to episode: romance, mystery, fantasy, coming-of-age stories, and even historical drama. Each story has its own time period, setting, and cast, but all offer, in one hour, their own take on universal emotions: love, heartbreak, and growing up.

The eight TV movies will air back-to-back every Wednesday at 9:50 p.m. and every Thursday at 10:00 p.m. (Korean time), which is 1:50 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. in France:

• November 18 and 19 : Episodes 1 and 2
• November 25 and 26 : Episodes 3 and 4
• December 2 and 3 : Episodes 5 and 6
• December 9 and 10 : Episodes 7 and 8
