Studio MindC proved once again its title as an 'OST powerhouse' through 'Resident Playbook.'
The final episode of the cable channel tvN's weekend drama 'Resident Playbook' (written by Kim Song-hee, directed by Lee Min-soo), which aired on 18th, set a new record for its highest viewership rating, achieving a satisfying conclusion.
Along with the drama's popularity, the OST also received much love from listeners. The perfectly timed OST that penetrates the drama's narrative has been praised for enhancing the drama's fun and emotion. In particular, Studio MindC has continued its reputation as an 'OST box office guarantee' by hitting the OST of 'Resident Playbook' following 'Hospital Playlist' seasons 1 and 2 and 'Twenty-Five Twenty-One.' Here are three reasons why 'Resident Playbook' could not fail.
▲ The nation's top K-pop artists all gather... a shining youth narrative!
'Resident Playbook' brought together top K-pop artists representing youth, including Stray Kids' Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N, Ive's Ahn Yu-jin, aespa's Winter, (G)I-DLE's Minnie, Doh Kyung Soo, Seventeen's DK, and Tomorrow X Together. The OST, filled with the joys and sorrows of youth, conveys hopeful support at times and tender comfort at others, highlighting the brilliant growth narrative.
▲ Music charts and YouTube prominence → Preparing for music shows... hot topic!
The buzz was also intense. The performance video teaser for 'When That Day Comes,' featuring actor Kang Yoo-suk and Tomorrow X Together members Soobin and Yeonjun, soared to the top of YouTube's trending videos immediately after its release. Thanks to the hot interest, Kang Yoo-suk and Tomorrow X Together's Soobin and Yeonjun are confirmed to appear on the cable channel Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 22nd, sharing the refreshing energy of youth.
Additionally, Tomorrow X Together's 'When That Day Comes' and Doh Kyung Soo's 'Eternal' entered the top 100 of major domestic music sites like Melon and secured spots in the YouTube trending music rankings. Furthermore, all OST tracks, including Mido and Parasol's 'I Will Shine Brightly Someday (I Will Shine Bright),' have entered the Melon Hot 100 chart, gaining popularity.
▲ Mido and Parasol's special support... from remakes to new releases!
The support from the band Mido and Parasol, born from 'Hospital Playlist,' has also received enthusiastic responses from both the drama and music fans. Mido and Parasol is the band formed by Jo Jung-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Jung Kyung-ho, Kim Dae-myung, and Jeon Mi-do in the drama. Announcing their comeback after about four years for 'Resident Playbook,' they presented the remake track 'Amateur' and the new song 'I Will Shine Brightly Someday (I Will Shine Bright),' adding special significance.
'Resident Playbook' OST album, with special cases and rich components to soothe the regrets of its ending, has shown high popularity by achieving second place in the YES24 album sales in the second week of May, where pre-orders began.
