I thought this would be a dark revenge melodrama but this a really, really dark comedy. I really enjoyed the first episode but I think ~23 minutes is too short of a runtime!
If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that most revenge or dark jdramas have a comedy spiral recently. I don't think that's the case at all. I just finished RISKY and there are so many other currently airing revenge or dark jdramas. None of them have over the top comedy - if they have humour at all, it's really dark or dry. As for Vincenzo, I think it's an odd example bc it was a revenge drama but it had cringey, over the top comedy that you said that was a deficiency in Jdramas so I'm confused lol.
