Read MoreThe recent Netflix tv series Crash Landing On You is incredible. Beautifully and interestingly shot, wonderful plot twists and turns, utmost attention to script detail and infectiously engaging character development. As for the soundtrack it’s perfectly fitting of the look and story of the tv series invoking a thoroughly balanced selection of emotions. Korean indie band 10cm owning the series with their feel good title track anthem But It’s Destiny. Yoon Mi Rae’s sweet Flower another stand out moment. Composers Nam Hye Seung and Park Sang Hee, responsible for the incredible orchestra score, penned the stirring Time of JungHyuk for Seri reminiscent of Game Of Thrones soundtrack composer Ramin Djawadi. A choice work of the contemporary classical genre.
