I'll miss the gang!
If you've managed to make a cast consisting of around 20 people memorable to me, then you're doing something good. The thing that I thoroughly enjoyed in this drama is how the friendship and trust build up through the episodes slowly but surely. I was a little comprehensive, agitated even, at some of the tenants of the plaza in the early part but they won me over and that negative emotion eventually turned to happiness whenever I see them together.
More than the acting, I would like to commend the script and the direction. I like how serious and dark it is when needed and then it will just suddenly blow you with a comic scene where the humor is spot-on and the execution is flawless. That isn't very easy to do (Welcome to Waikiki comes to mind but that show was purely comical). The lines/script isn't cringe-y or trope-y, and evokes just the right emotion. A little let-down was the last episode though where we were punched with a lot of very cliched tropes, but I guess it's hard to maintain perfection when the first 18 episodes were perfect.
Acting-wise, all of them are experienced actor which is why it's noticeable how Taecyeon is a little bit lacking. I had some scenes where I found it funny instead of feeling scared or fearful and some where the other cast took my attention when he's supposed to be the focus, hopefully he can improve in his next projects. I've been rooting for Kwak Dongyeon since Love in the Moonlight so I'm glad this show was able to provide a boost to his popularity. I hope he hits it big soon, he doesn't deserve to be the pitiful second lead anymore. All in all, I loved the ensemble cast so I hope everybody will achieve great things in the years to come! It was truly a fun 2 months with Vincenzo!
As a bonus: the cast collaborated with Na PD for The Game Caterers and it was soooo funny (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML9E33z2jJ0). The died during the Shout in Silence of the monks. I think I will be watching out for Kwon Seungwoo (Monk Chaeshin)!
