Drama Review: Vincenzo
Welcome to my first drama review in 2021. In this opportunity I want to talk about the newest drama of Song Joong Ki, Vincenzo.
Okay. From the first picture we can see that the drama is dark, too much horrible scene in drama, very heavy genre to watched. That's exactly my first impression and expectation for this drama.
During a visit to his motherland, a Korean-Italian mafia lawyer gives an unrivaled conglomerate a taste of its own medicine with a side of justice.

Even we can see from the synopsis, the drama will be dark and heavy topic will be carried in this drama. I was hesitated to start this drama, but honestly I tried this drama because of Joongki ha ha ha. Wow the drama really beyond my expectation. I love it so much! Honestly, I started to love it around Episode 4 and started to think this drama is really interesting. I think the introduction a little bit too slow to get into the main story but if I think again it is necessary to build the nice story in Vincenzo. But to be honest when I watched Episode 1-2 there are times that I think this drama is too long and made me sleepy, and when Episode 4 came damn!!!! I was like this is so cool??? this is my kind of drama?!?! I love the main character so much!!! Eventhough the story is actually serious and dark, I love how the writer and PD nim can wrapped this drama into an exciting drama, funny drama so the audience won't get bored watching this drama and won't get too serious and furious but enjoying this drama. They also make a few plot twist that will be revealed one by one so the audience will not get bored with the plot. I also love how they make Vincenzo have many different looks just because he had his hair different.
We can see how Vincenzo when he get serious and his Mafia mode is on like in the first picture. Then we can see Vincenzo in his relax activity with all his hair down, and how he looks when he carried a mission (psst if you know what a mission he must do while riding a horse ㅋㅋㅋㅋ). Sometimes Vincenzo can be cute too.
This picture above show one of my favorite episode of Vincenzo. I was laughing hard watching this episode. This episode that makes me want to recommend this drama to everyone. Like this is a serious drama, but you can make this episode too. I think I will re-watch this episode😂. When talking about Vincenzo, we can't forget about the other support characters. I love this drama because they make every one of the character is important. They all have their stories and have important role in this drama. At firsr, Vincenzo is trying to get the gold that buried under the building so he must interact with Geumga Plaza residents, but in the end the most precious things that he got are not the gold, but a new family.
I really love how every characters turned out have a secret and how writer nim packed their story to be unrevealed one by one with the plot twist and how it helped Vincenzo to meet their goals. When we talking about Vincenzo, we can't forget about our handsome and cool villains of course. First, we have Jang Han Seo that introduced first as Vincenzo and Cha Young first enemy, and turned back to become one of their squad in the end. Jang Han Seo really have the best character development in this drama.
You'll be missed, the not-smart-but-in-the-end-a-smart-dongsaeng, Jang Han Seo.
Not like his brother, the brain of this villain things, Jang Han Seok played by Taecyeon. Taecyeon really portrayed his character really well. Started as an Cha Young intern, has a bubbly and kind personality, turned out he's an evil psycopath.
He's really the worst. with his partner, Choi Myung Hee. Both are the worst. And I love how Vincenzo made them pay for all their sins. Please watch it if you want to know what happens to them!
Not just about the revenge, thanks to writer and PDnim, they also gave us a little romance in it. Really little romance, but I'm satisfied. Thanks too for the ending. It's funny when Vincenzo and Cha Young had to do a mission,and turned out they trapped in romance mission.
This episode like a turnover and the audience didn't see this coming because of a mission ㅋㅋ But thanks mission, you got us this sweet scene.
Overall, I really love this drama and it becomes one of my favorite drama in 1st quarter of 2021. I give it 4.5 of 5 star for this drama! Really recommended if you need laughter and funny drama but also have a serious plot. If you love antihero character, you will love it!
Addio!
