Music list for the Korean drama Encounter (aka Boyfriend). Herein are all the OSTs for the drama; the background music list is mostly community based, so if you hear a song that you want then leave a comment with the episode, time, and a little description of what was happening (ex. Episode 2, 05:23, when that guy tripped and fell into the coffee shop and there was a time warp to the 80’s where a song played on a girl’s walkman across the street, what song was that?).
We used to find all the BGMs, but we ran out of time to find them all ourselves, so hopefully if someone knows the song then they will reply in the comments. Let’s help each other out!

Now we finally have a spot to ask away on all the music questions!
I want the song of A perfect encounter tht is playing in the background where yaya nd her ex boyfriend meets in the bar nd he breaks up with her she’s sees him with another girl
Just incase i find a link for behind the scene thing, can i just post it here? 😊
Author
Yes!
Can i know what is the name of the piano instrumental background music in episode 7 26:10
There’s a song by Saltnpaper entitled Take Me Into Your Arms for Part 5 (released in YouTube as a teaser for now) but I’ve heard it played in Episode 8 already.
And I can hear onscreen (heard it in a couple of episodes, I think the first time was in the scene at Sokcho Beach where they were playing in the sand, have to check) an upbeat song that sounds suspiciously like Park BoGum sang it. The chorus goes something like “waiting for love, waiting for love.” Been waiting for publicity handlers to reveal it. Same thing happened in Love in the Moonlight, where PBG’s song My Person was played in earlier episodes but was only included or revealed at Part 11.
Sorry. I’m really PBG’s fan so I really find his voice distinct when he’s singing. 😂
Btw, these songs are also out on Spotify, including the instrumental versions.
Author
Amazing! Thank you!
Ooh it’s up on YouTube already and sadly, I was mistaken. It’s not PBG but O.When and the title of the song is “Flutter” – Part 5!
Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/TgMLARKonDc
It’s also on the link shared previously here:

Oh great! I need to add these songs to the list!
I wonder who sang the female version of Saltnpaper’s song? My mistake.. It was played in the earlier episodes too. I had a dramathon of all episodes during the break.
Author
Oh, good question!
Official OST ‘Take Me On’ will be out at 6pm KST today (3 Jan)!
Author
Thank you! I posted the YouTube from Kdramafreaks. Hopefully the Music Video and singles are released on Apple and Amazon soon!
Author
Thank you for all of this thread, added it!
I have the answer! It’s Saya. And the two versions are available via this link https://doramamusic.com/en/doramas/1236-encounter
Author
Whoo hoo! Thank you!
Anyone knows the songs played at the salsa club in Ep 1?
Author
Well try to look these up!
Episode 5, 09:32, when they are both in the tea cafe and they both tell each other what they have decided.
Author
Will look this one up! We plan on going back through a few episodes this week.
I believe this is Eric Nam’s The Night OST Part 4
Did they play Don Moen’s “Vincent” in ep 9? I haven’t watched but read the comment on soompi forum.
Also, at the lobby scene when JH outted himself and in Ep 9 when SH found JH at the lighthouse, the background music is a very nice piano and volin version of Parchebel’s Canon in D.
Re: Vincent ep 9

It’s the movie house end credits song when they were awkwardly ushered out of their seats ^_^
Author

Author
OMG, this is great, will add!

Thank u pls pls anybody who can help find this song for me
V, i have a suggestion, can you pin this topic somewhere so it will not get buried and disappear? It seems a lot of us love the ost of this drama and willing to help you find links for us to listen to it 😊.
Thanks! 😊
Preview 11 – song that Jin Hyuk sings for Soon Hyun is ‘Drunken Truth’. Here’s a version, from Spotify
https://open.spotify.com/track/5DmhQFPwvyG02SmL1mcVZ2?si=Fb2-FERgSa689UCieE8FmA
Oh, btw, the song is titled ‘There is Truth in the Wine’ in this album.
I sincerely hope PBG’s version will be included in the OST. The original version sounds like slow rock. PBG’s version sounds like a ballad. Probably because of his sweet voice.
Thanks for this!!! I didn’t know what to search for or who the artist is ^_^
I only found a live concert version before. This rendition is also nice. Been listening to it for good vibes 😀
https://open.spotify.com/track/62ElSn0docGvjnA7k30swo?si=lEiTydueQkiZYJcqphPwtA
and yes, I hope they include Bogummy’s version in the OST, too!
Whats the ost in ep 2, goes like waiting for love, waiting for love.
Love the OST take me on, both versions! Hihi
Can someone help me find the cuban/tango music background used on one of the episode 15 preview/snippets? When JH was working on submitting his resignation letter but change his mind instead and went off to the CEO’s office. Thanks you! 🙂
Hi, J
Your question has been niggling at me for awhile, and I finally got around to trying to find it. That whole scene moves through about 4 different songs:
Begins with Before I Met You while he’s thinking about writing his letter of resignation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrEW8kU6y8w
As he pauses and we see his memory flashbacks, it seems to be a bell-like variation on Road to You (itself a Pachelbel Canon take-off): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGqw0_-dP34
Then it’s the same music as when he goes into the Garden when he returns to Cuba to save the hotel deal, which you can hear in this clip (as well as at the end of ep 15) — this is the specific one you asked about, but unfortunately I haven’t found it in any OST/BGM lists (though it sure ought to be!):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4YHVhQOKDQ&list=PLMbn3LWh31LIbytpNeFV56zhxqxsc6vMn&index=22
And then at the end as he enters her office, it goes into the credits with OST Part 7, Always Be With You
(Sorry, didn’t mean to post the video!)

It’s okay! Sometimes video links automatically change to the video.
You’re an angel! 😂 thank you for your reply! Yes, that was exactly the bgm/ost i was looking/asking for 😊
Anyway, hoping we’ll know the title soon or someone uploads it.
You’re an angel! 😂 thank you for replying!
Yes, that was exactly the ost bgm i was looking for.
Hopefully they’ll update the list of ost soon or al least we’ll know the title.
If you love the background music as much as I do (even more than the OST songs!), Guile II has posted them on youtube – search for Encounter Instrumental BGM Soundtrack. Titles like Sunset, Hongie-dong Playground, and about 10 others, including the background for some of the more epic transformational scenes – amazing! I’m so thrilled to have found these! Some of the most exquisite BGM I’ve heard in a kdrama, on par with the exquisite animated illustrations for each episode/conflict. Gorgeous.
Meant to add the link to my search results: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=encounter+instrumental+bgm+soundtrack
ahhh! yes yes yes thank you for this!

I need to update it!

YAY! Thank you so much, Gretac!
You’re welcome! Delighted to share this 🙂
Hi there! can someone let me know this song played on the Episode 10 , where Jinhyuk confesses his love and gives Soohyun one hell of a long kiss…..I’m sure it’s a foreign language
It’s Omara Portuondo singing Si Llego a Besarte (tr. If I Manage to Kiss You)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5hHXAX3qvI
oh, and here’s a fan movie to that music, with English subs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8klSlcZ4IM
better translation here

Can u tell me what is the title of that piano instrumental on 48:54 of episode 4? Thanks!
That’s beautiful! I haven’t heard that on any of the official OST/BGM releases.
This drama is full of the most beautiful background music, and unfortunately, a lot of it doesn’t seem to be published separately.
Thanks for pointing this one out!
Does that mean you won’t be able to help me find it? :((
Well, it means you’ve already found it the only place it exists, which is inside the drama!
Lots of the BGM never makes it outside of a drama, unless you’re tech savvy enough to extract it yourself.
It is “On My Way to You” by Park Sang hee
Author
Thank you!
i agree, the piano instrumentals in the drama are very, very beautiful and needs separate coverage.
There’s a song that I keep hearing in this drama, and there are no words in the song, it’s just a woman humming. It’s easiest to find at the start of episode 9, the song plays after they kiss @ 1:35. I hope somebody can help me, I really love the song.
It’s the OST 2 by Lee So Ra, Into My Heart. I can’t find the humming version anywhere (outside of the drama!), but she sings it so softly, she might as well be humming!
Actually, I just realized there is a little snippet of the humming part at the very end starting at 2’54”
Hello! Thank you so much for this. Unfortunately though, this isn’t the one. The music I’m looking for actually has a lot of whistling first and then humming. I really hope someone could find it. 😭
PS I love Lee Sora’s Into My Heart too!
What’s the music on episode(13) 8:55 – 9:26. It was also played episode(4) 49:14 – 50:44. Thankyou for the answer in advance 🙂
In case you’re still getting notices, I wonder if the one you meant (if you haven’t found it yet!) is Love Birds by Nam Hye Seung and Park Sang Hee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alTrRu2EDow
It does show up throughout the drama.
There’s a song that i really like especially when they have a sad scene together. the chorus starts with “i love you” then next would be the korean lyrics. I found all the songs/ost in there but i couldnt find this song. Could you help me pls, find this song? I really wanna know the title. I have been singing it but couldnt really find it. Thank you!
Can you give the time markers in some of the episodes where this song plays? i.e., episode number, minutes:seconds
does anybody know the song on the airport on episode one where they were getting the tickets?
This seems to be the most popular request for identification!
“Take Me On”
The male version by Saltnpaper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2utpaOJ8JTc
There’s also a female version by Saya that shows up a lot in the drama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW9fCIDhJps
I need tittle of the song played at the Havana party
Author
Hi Oluwa, we tried to find a lot of those songs, but it was hard to find the exact one. It appears like they are reworked songs that the band adlibs onto. But we are not sure actually. Good luck finding it!
Any Idea what the actual name and Artist of this song?
Thankyou <3
Hi! Can someone help/telle the title of the bgm in episode 12 @14:15. It is when Cha Soo Hyun was left sleeping in her bed by her boyfriend. Thank you.
(reposting to try to get it up into Reply sequence!)
I was just rewatching! what a great drama.
It’s the female voice version of Take Me On, sung by SAya. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRr6RzVoRi4
The male voice version is nice, too, sung by SALTNPAPER. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC3hCS1svh4

@XY – the above is meant to be a reply to your question about the BGM in ep 12
Author
Thank you, gretac!
What’s the songs on episode 9, it’s an english song, it’s not starry starry night because i heard it in the middle of episode. Please help me find that song🥺
I’m also looking for the name of this song. It’s also played in the scene in an earlier episode when they go to the place PBG says he can photograph the wind and they come down from the viewing platform.
“Take Me On”
There’s a male version by Saltnpaper here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2utpaOJ8JTc and a female version by Saya here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW9fCIDhJps
I’m not sure who wrote it, but I love both in the show!
Thanks Gretac, it’s the male version I was after. Appreciate the help.
Do you guys know the bgm in Encounter ep 13, 9:00?
Thank you
“Take Me On”
– the male version by Saltnpaper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2utpaOJ8JTc
there’s a female version by Saya that also shows up in the drama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW9fCIDhJps
Episode 12: Music starts at 58:13 while they driving
Cant find this beautiful Song. Does it know someone?
It is so beautiful! As far as I know, it’s one of the background themes that was written only for this show. I have not seen it published outside of the drama.
In Episode 8, around 55:10, they start to play club music. Does anyone know the name of it? It has a really nice beat.
No idea, sorry!
Hi sorry but how long ago I asked for the soundtrack in a perfect encounter ep2 where yaya boyfriend breaks up with nd still now reply thanks
I thinks it’s last year I asked for the song nd still no reply
Pls pls pls anyone respond I’ve been searching for the song nd can’t find it The Perfect Encounter ep2 when Yaya sitting in the bar nd boyfriend broke up with her pls pls
You’re asking about a different drama from the one this post is about. This is about the Korean drama “Boyfriend,” also called “Encounter,” which is a completely different drama from the Chinese drama “A Perfect Encounter” that has a character named Yaya, that you’re asking about. There is no Yaya sitting in a bar with her boyfriend breaking up with her in the Korean drama that we’re talking about and familiar with here.
Hi the other name of chinese drama is called the perfect meeting nd on u tube it’s called the perfect encounter so searching for song in the perfect meeting but still can’t find it
Het boyfriend breaks up with her while her best friend us dating him
