Awell-balanced album containing theme songs from various Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese dramas and local movies - the perfect time-killer for your mom when she's bored on the MTR.
The list of songs is picked from a variety of teen, family and romantic dramas; and with six CDs for the price of one, it makes a perfect Mother's Day present. The downside is these are all instrumental versions.
Some of the biggest hits include theme songs from a number of popular Japanese dramas, like La La La Love Song from Long Vacation, and My Destiny from With Love, the theme songs from Taiwanese dramas like Meteor Garden and Smiling Pasta, and I Believe from Korean movie My Sassy Girl.
This is a relaxing collection, but if you listen to it for too long, it goes beyond relaxing to boring or even sleep-inducing. It's great background music while you're doing the household chores and giving your mum a break.
The first five CDs concentrate mostly on drama and TV show themes. The last CD, which features numbers from movie soundtracks, including the theme songs from Infernal Affairs and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, will probably be a favourite with your folks.
