Not bad but kind of gross
The show is actually not bad and funny in some areas. I found myself laughing at some jokes. I liked the cast and the actors are decent. (I’ve never seen the original Sound of Your Heart so I can’t compare them).Overall not a bad show if you don’t mind the slap stick humor. My only dislike was the constant, nonstop use of poop jokes, farts, and other grossness ?. I found myself fast-forwarding through those nasty bits. But overall not a bad show, if you have a strong enough stomach.

Sooooo freakin good
Let me start off by saying the writers and actors for Vincenzo worked their a$$# off!! Such a good story! To sum it up in a few words: If The Godfather had a baby with a k-drama, it would be christened Vincenzo. With this show, you get all the action, crime, and violence of a typical mobster film mixed with the outrageous humor of a romance drama.Each episode had me on my seat..Keep in mind, the first 1-4 episodes are a bit slow while they set up the story, background, characters etc. Be patient. It gets better! This show is definitely worth the watch with unexpected plot twists waiting on every corner.
Side note: I was very impressed by the quality and range of acting by Song Joong-ki and Ok Taecyeon. All of the actors did a fine job, but I was struck by their performances the most. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I would highly suggest you give it a watch!!

A Dark Fairytale to Warm Your Heart
Let me say, just wow!! This drama quickly scaled the list to become one of my favorite dramas in such a short amount of time. I’d hike it up there somewhere between Hotel Del Luna and Black (2017). Yea...that’s how much I liked it.It’s Okay Not to be Okay (or Psycho But It’s Okay) is a darker, edgier drama that hits on real-world issues like mental-health in a fanciful, almost fairy-tale way. But truth be told, I was locked in immediately by the playful, whimsical Tim-Burton style animation that was introduced in episode one. The continuous references to the Adams Family through imagery and dialogue was delightful, dark, and delicious, like drinking espresso with bitter dark chocolate.....yum.
Seo Yea Ji ROCKED this performance!!! Okay? At first, it was hard not to notice the similarities between her and Jang Man-Wol (played by IU in Hotel Del Luna). But let me tell you something...this lady stands firmly on her own. I found it hard not to intensely care for her even while portraying a cold, bloodthirsty, emotionless psycho. There’s something notably charming and warm about her presence and style.
I loved Kim Soo Hyun as the main character/love interest. He played the part very well & spoke volumes with his eyes alone. The chemistry between him and his autistic brother Moon Sang Tae (played by Oh Jung Se) was amazing!! Sang Tae was a character that latched firmly onto my heart and would not let go. It was hard not to care for him deeply.
All in all, give this highly underrated drama a watch. Seriously....we must value even the little things that give us room...to simply breathe....
