Wanna Be (from What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim OST – 2018)
I’m surprised that GFriend didn’t record more OST songs, especially early in their career. Their light, melodic sound matches dramas well – especially romantic comedies. Wanna Be is pretty effortless in its construction and execution, offering a bright, easy sound that isn’t super compelling but works well as background music. The bounding melody recalls K-pop’s second generation despite this being released in the late 2010s. My favorite moment occurs during the bridge, when the track briefly gathers steam on its way to a big Yuju power note.
