Vincenzo is a unique series that mixes comedy and dark drama to make something truly entertaining. It gave me a balance between laugh out loud moments, moments I had to cry, and moments that were exciting and action packed.
Each side was making moves like a chess game and everyone had a plan to surprise viewers.
I loved the friendship amongst the group of residents at the plaza and the main characters. They quickly hop in the help Vincenzo because of how much they love him and the Hong family.
I saw some reviews where they didn’t love the comedy, and honestly, it comes down to personal taste. I personally LOVED it. The contrast between the gloomy dramatics and the ridiculous comedy, fan service, and characters like the chef was refreshing. If you want a drama that is realistic in humor and plot, this isn’t for you.
I will say that some of the violence was over done and there are story lines the drama could have really emphasized and explored. I wanted to see more of Vincenzo’s personal relationships, personal development, and more about his time in Italy. But I’m giving this drama a 10/10 because it was truly a unique and thrilling experience from beginning to end.
