He then meets Han Tae-yi (Jee Hogeun), who despises jazz due to his own personal trauma.
Song Han-gyeom plays the role of Seo Do-yoon while Kim Jung-ha is Song Ju-ha.
The drama follows all four main characters as they navigate through their own trauma and happenings while at Wooyeon Arts. Just like its title, “Jazz for Two” includes several jazz instrumental songs and various soundtracks.
Each of the four students in the drama shares unexpected stories that are blended into the genre of jazz and evoke a trendy charm.
The “Jazz for Two” OST album includes six tracks: “Improvisation,” “이대로 (STAY WITH ME),” “홀로(Alone),” “NEW LIGHT,” “Please Miles,” and “Proust.”
The six songs have been put together in order to create a special OST album that allows listeners to enjoy the story of each of the four students in “Jazz for Two” in a new way.
Hangyeom participated in the composition and lyric writing of three of the tracks, “이대로 (STAY WITH ME),” “홀로(Alone),” and “NEW LIGHT”, and Omega X bandmate Jaehan participated in the lyric and composition creation for “Improvisation and “이대로 (STAY WITH ME).”
The opening of the album is “Improvisation,” a pop track that compares the process of two people who met each other unexpectedly and come together as a “jazz improvisation.”
“이대로 (STAY WITH ME),” the second track, is a soft rock song that gives listeners a sense of emotional fondness and is sung by Omega X members Jaehan, Hwichan, Hangyeom, and Xen.
The third track, “홀로(Alone),” is a ballad song that contains the fear of being alone, sung by A.C.E member Donghun Lee.
“NEW LIGHT” is meant to evoke the feeling of fresh excitement and youth with vocals by Hangyeom,
“Please Miles” is an instrumental track that was used in the drama scene where the characters Tae-yi, Se-heon, and Do-yoon are assigned as a group assignment. The music director for “Jazz for Two,” Kang Min-kook, created “Please Miles” with inspiration from “So What” by Miles Davis.
Tthe album closes with “Proust,” sung by Jee Hogeun. “The Proust Effect” refers to a situation when scents evoke memories from the past.
Proust” is an arranged version of b101’s song with the same title, and it was played as the ending performance in the final episode of “Jazz for Two” when four main characters finally became one.
"Jazz for Two" is available on iQIYI and GagaOOLala.
