A.N.JELL

From dramabeans

SBS’s idol drama You’re Beautiful may only be second in its timeslot (after IRIS on KBS), but its soundtrack is a big hit. Now only a week after its release, it has already sold about 20,000 albums; the day it came out, it was a top seller on all the various online sites (Melon, Dosirak, Mnet).

To give you a sense of what that number means, it is unusual for OST albums to sell more than 10,000 units. The drama’s ratings are modest at best, but the strong sales of the soundtrack point to its status as a solid mania hit. The album was written and produced by Han Sung-ho, who also worked on the dramas Lovers, On Air, and Brilliant Legacy.

With the actors all showing musical talent (two are from idol bands and the other two also sing in the series), some are even wondering whether the idol-group-within-the-drama will pursue activities for real; according to a source with the production’s marketing team, “The viewers want A.N.JELL to perform for real and the members are in accord, so they are currently discussing it. At the moment, their schedules are packed tight so it’s difficult to make a decision. When the drama nears its close, they’ll be able to solidify plans for possible activities.”

Well, I'm still waiting for Jan to come. Wanna buy the OST when I reach Korea...but I've downloaded the album already and it is really addictive, although there're only that few songs (many of them had various versions by different people). The thing is, they CAN sing. JGS is pretty decent for a non-full time singer, and I totally loved his version of 들리나요 in beethoven virus. Hong Gi and Yong Hwa are singers and you know most korean singers, even idol ones, can sing. Surprisingly, Park Shin Hye has a good voice too!!

I totally wouldn't mind, in fact, I hope, that they release another OST/album under the ANJELL name...but I guess it's highly unlikely for an actual group to come out from this because they all have their own commitments outside ANJELL, like FTIsland, which I'm sure is very busy, other other dramas etc...Even if they had some outside-the-drama activities, it'll most probably be short-term.

Aniwaes, I'm surprised that the OST was produced by the same guy who did On Air's, coz I loved On Air's OST to bits too!
