Number of episodes (released so far): 8
Storyline: During a visit to his motherland, a Korean-Italian mafia lawyer gives a conglomerate a taste of its own medicine with a side of justice
As the K-drama inches towards its halfway mark this weekend, it could definitely do with some pacy, tighter writing. The penchant for campy, over-the-top drama that the writers seem to immensely enjoy works in parts, but they need to be cautious in the coming episodes to not let this eclipse the battle of wits between the hero and the evil conglomerate.
Jeon Yeo-Been, who plays hotshot attorney Hong Cha-Young has a flair for the dramatic, but her camaraderie with Vincenzo is one of the highpoints of the show. While Song Joong-Ki has terrific screen presence and is absolutely at home taking down bumbling thugs in his sharply-tailored suits, Ok Taec-Yeon who plays Jang Jun-Woo isn’t far behind. The solid casting of the three main leads greatly benefits the show.
