Song Joong-ki in a still from Vincenzo. Towards the end, the show ceased to be a David-versus-Goliath story and turned into a slowburn tale of vengeance.
Netflix
3.5/5 stars
We all love a good David-versus-Goliath story. Few things are as satisfying as seeing a righteous underdog beat the odds as they stand up to, and take down, a once-mighty foe.
Vincenzo has given us a lot of underdogs to root for, starting with the stalwart Jipuragi Law Firm and stretching through to the other colourful residents of Geumga Plaza.
On the other side of the spectrum, the main villains have been the powerful Babel Corporation and the slimy Wusang Law Firm, paving the way for the former’s unchecked malfeasance.
