Great opera, good music.

The original Korean soap opera is about the first woman doctor in South Korea, during the era of the Korean Kingdom. It is quite famous in East Asia, and definitely worth viewing in its own right.

The music is quite good, and sometimes deeply moving. Oh Na Ra I is the theme song, a fine chant by youthful voices. (You can look up the meaning of the Ancient Korean words sometime - quite bittersweet & romantic.) Ap Na is a lovely piano tune, and worth a careful listen - so is Dan Ga (which has more of an upbeat walking beat, compared to Ap Na's romantic, slow, thoughtful stroll).

Da Som uses strings to accentuate the emotion of the piece, while Hamangyeon uses Korean vocals, Korean woodwinds and western strings to a good effect. Chang Ryong is a cheerful and active bit of music, but Duk Goo is definitely the 'happy child' of the soundtrack, with their cheerful use of Korean percussion.

Ha Mang Yun (Instrumental) should be compared with Ha Mang Yun (Vocal) to hear how good singing - even in a language you don't know - can add to the feel of a tune.

My final favourite is Oh Na Ra II. It's quite a bit slower and more thoughtful than Oh Na Ra I, but still quite enjoyable.
