Episode 11 of Vincenzo seriously flew by it was so good. I was laughing even more than normal for this drama as this episode was lighter on the fighting Babel action and spent the time wisely moving other threads along. Everyone now knows Vincenzo was in the Italian mafia as a top consigliere, or corn salad to keep along with … Continue reading →
It’s midway point for tvN Sat-Sun drama Vincenzo and boy do I need a breather. Each episode is like a mini-movie at nearly 1.5 hours long, full of twists and turns and quiet lovely moments. The ratings hit a small new high at 11.375% and I once again wish the first 2 episodes did a better job at keeping the … Continue reading →
Things can’t keep going our heroes way in Vincenzo and the early successes are giving way to a true fight back from the baddies at Babel and their henchmen. Episode 9 had less comedy and a lot more death(s), which I should be surprised to see since the drama offed Lawyer Daddy so early by episode 3. Joon Woo is … Continue reading →
tvN Sat-Sun drama Vincenzo is settling into a slower burn after last week’s wild theatrics, which makes sense as it’s a 20-episode drama with a little less than 2/3 of the run to go. This week’s episodes felt like a breather between bigger set pieces, but what it delivered still contained all the great set up and pay offs the … Continue reading →
This drama narrative moves so fast, nothing kept secret (for the sake of using it to tell the story) as the focus always remains on the problem that the secret pertains to. How to resolve it is the joy of watching Vincenzo think outside the box with his new right hand woman Cha Young meeting him beat for beat. He’s … Continue reading →
The opening sequence of episode 6 of Vincenzo was a balletic comedy set in a courtroom, orchestrated to perfection by Vincenzo with full support of Cha Young and the Plaza denizens. It’s going to need that and more to win against Joon Woo and his Wusang legal minions and the countless judges, lawyers, doctors, and reporters he has in is … Continue reading →
Bellissimo! Episode 5 of Vincenzo was a work of art and I’m going to need to learn more compliments in Italian to shower on this drama if it stays this good or perhaps gets even better. The shady and offbeat first 2 episodes are fully behind us and as good as episode 4 was this one is even better. It … Continue reading →
Bravo, a resounding Bravo to singer-actor Taecyeon for picking this drama and role as his second post-military project. I’m sure he got offered male leads but a memorable role is much harder to come by. Thus far he’s been excellent in tvN drama Vincenzo, really essaying the character who has always been a little too goofball from the get-go, if … Continue reading →
I found my new crack drama ladies and gentlemen! Patience has paid off as episode 4 of Vincenzo was so good I have the shivers and shakes and can’t stop thinking about the exquisite details. Our Vincenzo may still have his own agenda (tons and tons of gold, who wouldn’t?) but he’s going to mete out some of his own … Continue reading →
I have patience when it comes to dramas starring my loves. The longest I went with sticking with a drama before it reached payoff time was with Uncontrollably Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, that drama was 18 episodes of set up but the final 2 episodes was sheer perfection. I watch episodes 19-20 even now and I’m crying … Continue reading →
The second episode of tvN Sat-Sun drama Vincenzo can best be described by Song Joong Ki saying “I’m back, bitches!” and me saying “Drama gods almighty I have no f*cking clue what I am watching!” This drama is like Dong Ryeong from Answer Me 1988 got together with Jung Hwan’s dad and they wrote a script complete with 1980’s HK … Continue reading →
The best way to describe Vincenzo is the lawyer cousin to The Fiery Priest. It’s either a dish your screwball tastes love or you will find it awkward and no clue on the purpose of what you’re watching is leading up to. The first episode was a serious of scenes to establish character/motive threaded by male lead Song Joong Ki … Continue reading →
This weekend is the premiere of Vincenzo, taking over the big weekend time slot on tvN from Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen). Starring Song Joong Ki, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Taecyeon, the story is about the male lead who grew up in Italy and become a mafia lawyer who returns to Korea for revenge and to enact his own brand of … Continue reading →
