In the past, original soundtrack albums were just a little extra something that came with a television drama. Now, however, more viewers and drama makers are starting to realize their importance and potential.

One of the most popular drama soundtracks lately has been Baek Ji-young's "Is Love a Sin?" for the SBS drama "Princess Ja Myung Go", starring Jeong Ryeo-won and Park Min-yeong. Her sad ballad was made for Jung's character Ja-myung, and although the drama is not faring well in the ratings, the song is soaring in popularity, topping Internet music charts.

"We started working on the original soundtrack a year before the actual airing of the drama. We were given the synopsis of the program, and after discussions with the producer, we managed to create music and songs that were a fit for the big budget period drama", Lee Sang-ho, the music producer, told The Korea Times.

In the past, drama production companies would work on the album, along...| More

The new 50-episode series "Princess Ja Myung Go" ("The Drum", working title) is based on the folk tale "Prince Ho-dong and the Princess of Nakrang", which touches the story of the failed Nakrang Kingdom (1 B.C. - A.D. 32) for the first time in 45 years.

According to the tale, there was a famous drum called the "jamyeonggo", literally "the drum that beats by itself", that would beat itself whenever enemies would invade its kingdom. The drama, however, gives a new twist in that the drum is in fact a person, the hidden sister of the Nakrang Kingdom's princess.
