Sound of You Heart Review

Title: Sound of Your Heart

AKA: Sound of the Heart / Sound of Heart / Sound of Your Mind

Genre: Sitcom, Comedy

Episodes: 5 (TV)

Broadcast period: 2016-Dec to 2017-Jan

Cast: Lee Kwang Soo, Kim Dae Myung, Jung So Min, Kim Byung Ok and Kim Mi Kyung. (and LOADS of cameos)

Jo Suk (Lee Kwang Soo) is the youngest of Jo kids, and he is living at home working as a comic artist. Unfortunately, he didn't get a breakthrough nor does he have a steady income. His older brother Jo Joon (Kim Dae Myung) works as a salaryman, and enjoys most nights at the club. His mother Kwon Jung Kwon (Kim Mi Kyung) is a stay at home mom, but has a clear mindset when it comes to money. His father Jo Chul Wang (Kim Byung Ok) is completely different in the sense that he is useless when it comes to work, and occasionally takes on jobs such as extra in movies – though he is really bad at it.
This drama is about the crazy and clumsy family, their everyday life and occasionally preposterous situations which they seem to be attracting...

I don't really know what to say about this expect it is so funny – on a ridiculous and nonsense kind of way. I can't say that I felt any storyline, or rather you could watch any episode in any order, and not feel any different or lose any context. Acting was okay, and since there are so many cameos I don't really feel like rating the acting, as many of them are comedians and such, so beside the main family, the acting is kind of in the 'beginner' stage, making it alright/acceptable. Also, the drama being less serious, everything else seems to be under the 'mediocre' level, so it's rather acceptable – both the lacking progress in story and okay acting.
To sum up: a funny and frivolous drama, and quite alright if you feel stuffed with melodrama – nice break actually.

It's Okay, That's Love Review

Title: It’s Okay, That’s Love

AKA: It’s Okay, It’s Love / It’s Alright, It’s Love

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Psychology

Episodes: 16

Broadcast date: 2014-Jul to 2014-Sep

Cast: Jo In Sung, Gong Hyo Jin, Sung Dong Il and Lee Kwang Soo.

On his birthday bestselling author Jang Jae Yeols (Jo In Sung) older brother is released from prison for the murder of their father. While celebrating, Jae Yeol doesn’t notice his brother’s arrival; his brother walks up and stabs him in the shoulder several times. At the trial Jae Yeol begs for a reduced charge as he has forgiven his brother, though his brother swears when he gets out he’ll kill him.

Few years later Jae Yeol started writing crime novels instead of the usual romance novels, which has made one of his loyal fans Ji Hae Soo (Gong Hyo Jin) dislike him. Hae Soo is a physicist at the psychic ward at a hospital, and works with patients from all kinds of mental illnesses. She herself has anxiety: she is afraid of any form of romantic skin ship. The two meet for the first time in a show which discusses the psychological situation in Jae Yeols new crime book. And this makes Jae Yeol interested in Hae Soo, though the interest isn’t requited.

They meet again when Jae Yeol moves into the house where Hae Soo lives, which surprisingly is the house he owns, and the hospital as well. Soon the two start to fall for another, but things are weird with Jae Yeol as he seems to have some issues that go beyond the physical…

Sorry for the crappy summary, it is better than what I make it to be L

This is by far one of the best, if not the best drama, of the year! It has everything a drama from 2014 has to have and much more. The clichés are almost not there and it’s really innovative: from the characters and the storyline all the way to the screenplay. I love it; I think I still can’t get over it.

From the beginning to the end, every single minute is entertaining, and so is every side story. I even liked the OST! Not a single thing is bad, except for the fact that my standards for a good drama has risen by a lot.

All in all not only recommendable, but also a must watch!

Kamji's Verdict

Ah, I still can’t get over this drama. It was perfect in every possible way. It may sound as an exaggeration, but while watching it, you don’t have one negative thought about it, you just silently wish this drama would never end. It had its moments, sometimes you would smile, laugh, cry and even curse, (I curse when I suddenly realize something, I didn’t before, and that happened a lot in this drama, it took me by surprise over and over). So I agree with Bunji, when she called it the best drama of 2014 so far. I'm going to start looking for a man like Jang Jae Yeol.
