Review: South Korean series ‘Vincenzo’
This has to be one of the best series I have watched. The cinematography and everything were impressive. The storyline was smoothly played out without any disappointments. The unpredictable twists and turns were what kept me on the edge of my seat every episode. The plot is not only masterful but the comedic timing at every turn, keeps you wanting more content. I liked this show because it features a female character who represents everything patriarchal society disapproves of - she’s loud, outspoken, persistent, etc and doesn’t hesitate to make herself visible in a crowd. What I love most is that the plot didn’t go follow the evil to morally good cliche, instead, the protagonist aka Vincenzo justifies his existence as someone who uproots evil when the law is not sufficient to punish the monsters which makes the show even more unique. This doesn't also mean that Vincenzo is a hero, he's an anti-hero. As per him, he is trash who can't stand the trash that smells worse than him.
This drama shows us that there are instances where justice should and can be served mercilessly in a so evil world nowadays. The whole show truly lived up to its genre, which is ‘dark comedy’ and focused on their motto “only evil can punish evil” and I believe they’ve delivered it perfectly.
The cast indubitably performed so well that I could feel the emotions going on in every scene. Until the last scene, they unquestionably did a great job.
It’s a must-watch series - 10/10, will recommend it to everyone.
