A still from ‘Vincenzo’
In these rather grim times, the campy and pacy K-drama on Netflix serves as a perfect foil for some distraction
There’s a lot to love in the recently-concluded smash hit K-drama
Vincenzo which has become a fan favourite across the world, and has cemented its place amongst the top shows on Netflix for weeks now.
For a show that initially seemed to falter while attempting to balance multiple characters, plotlines and genres, tighter writing from episode eight onwards greatly helped elevate the drama. As Korean-Italian mafia lawyer Vincenzo Cassano (Song Joong-Ki) takes on the chairman of the Babel Group Jang Jun-Woo (Ok Taec-yeon), the clash brings with it a host of revelations and roadblocks. Apart from his partner in law and crime Hong Cha-Young(Jeon Yeo-Been), the bumbling tenants of the decrepit Guemga Plaza aren’t too far behind when it comes to lending the Consigliere a helping hand, all while throwing in some theatrics along the way.
