“This drama is like a refreshing soda” is how Song joong ki described this show and honestly that’s the best way to describe this amazing drama. With an anti hero who uses refreshingly villain-ish ways to tackle evil, the show is absolutely exciting. Song Joong Ki really came back with a bang in this one and he nails every aspect of Vincenzo be it the action, the wrath, the comedy or the lowkey in-denial love strucken male lead. Also, it’s my first time watching Jeon Yeo Bin and she does an amazing job with our spunky Cha Young, and I grew to love her more every episode (CenCha ship is superior and nothing can top their chemistry).

With the right sprinkle of comedy, action, thrill and romance, this drama is a full on entertainer and has the perfect cast to deliver action packed episodes. The OST is also extremely fitting to the show and are absolute bangers. Personally, when I began the show I was intrigued by Vincenzos character but slightly put off by the lowkey cringe comedy that the Geumga plaza people offered however, the show really picks up pace and excitement by the 4th/5th episode and the Geumga plaza people grew on me just like they did for Vincenzo himself.

The drama really shows how the best color to depict humanity with is the color grey, as we can see all characters, (including the protagonists) as different shades of grey, making us as the audience question the concept of morality, justice and law as well. Apart from this philosophical wisdom, the drama also sheds light on building relationships and feeling part of a community. We become part of Vincenzos journey as he finds his own attachment to people he can call his own community, in a place he least expected to, which is honestly very endearing. Also, I love the romance in this, sprinkled in the right amount as you never really find that is is unnecessary. Cha young becomes a bridge that connects Vincenzo to a warmer world which he is unfamiliar to and both of them support and protect each other in their own ways which just makes it such a lovely bond that I couldn’t help fan girl over.

I’m going to miss my weekly dose of Vitamin-cenzo and I know for a fact this drama will always remain one of my favorites, as I was obsessed with it throughout its run. Would definitely recommend everyone to give it a chance and trust me when I say there is no escaping from Vincenzo Casanno’s charm!
