Song Joong-ki in a still from Vincenzo.
Netflix
The worlds of K-drama and the Italian mob collide in explosive fashion in Vincenzo, a sweeping if occasionally awkward new series that sees Song Joong-ki return to Netflix just a few weeks after Space Sweepers.
Song plays the memorably named Vincenzo Cassano, a Korean-born but Italian-raised consigliere for the mafia who lives in a swanky apartment, wears only the finest Milan-tailored suits and has boyish looks that belie his ruthless streak.
The show kicks off in Italy in gangster saga mode with Vincenzo travelling to a vineyard following the death of his boss, where he meets the head of another crime family. The conversation is tense and confrontational, but Vincenzo never flinches.
The latest Korean series to premiere on Netflix is ‘Vincenzo’, but already there are signs that this K-drama could become one of the best on the platform.
