Drama Revisit: Vincenzo - Song Joong-ki exhibits chilling elegance, yet Ok Taecyeon instills fear for a victorious performance
In the world of South Korean dramas, "Vincenzo" stands out as a unique blend of thriller and zany sitcom-like elements. Starring Song Joong-ki as Vincenzo Cassano, a Korean-Italian mafia consigliere, the series takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride filled with unexpected plot twists and unforgettable characters.
At the heart of the story is Geumga Plaza, a building housing a colourful array of nutty residents. However, this seemingly ordinary establishment becomes the centre of a heated battle when a company named Babel illegally acquires it. Vincenzo Cassano, driven by the desire to track down gold bars secretly stashed in a hidden basement under Geumga Plaza, returns to South Korea and finds himself embroiled in a web of corruption.
One of the most intriguing characters in the series is Ok Taecyon's Jang Jun-woo. Initially, he appears as a cute, fluffy-haired intern, but as the story unfolds, he reveals himself to be a terrifying and skilled villain. Ok Taecyon delivers a chilling performance, transforming Jung-woo from innocence to a bloodied, murderous antagonist with a drastic shift that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats.
Song Joong-ki's portrayal of Vincenzo Cassano is equally captivating. His character demonstrates his ability to deliver severe punishments to wrongdoers, yet he also has a jarring, hollow look and slow-paced walk that intimidates enemies. One of the most memorable scenes in his career is a raw and emotional encounter with his mother.
Jeo Yeon-been plays the lawyer Cha-young, a character who forms a crucial part of Vincenzo's journey. The show is not loud or melodramatic, but rather features quiet, painful moments that resonate with viewers.
Despite its plot holes and unrealistic portrayal of Vincenzo's invincibility, "Vincenzo" is a wildly fun watch. Viewers find themselves rooting for Vincenzo, despite the lack of airtight logic, proving that sometimes, entertainment lies not in perfection but in the journey itself.
The show's original soundtrack, Un Diavolo Scaccia L'altro, adds to the overall experience, enhancing the thrilling and suspenseful moments. With its unique blend of genres, compelling characters, and unexpected twists, "Vincenzo" is a must-watch for any drama enthusiast.
