I’m a late bloomer to this story but I enjoyed every bit of it! From reading many reviews out there prior to watching, I did found out that the novel is a BL story, which I’m very new to. I don’t know exactly what it was but I can say I truly enjoyed the relationship that WWX and LWJ had, I smile when they smile, I laugh when WWX makes fun of LWJ and I cried when he cried. There’s not too many Chinese historical drama where you get the best of everything, leading and supporting actors, and enjoying the story that each character had to share.
I loved how each story developed, whether it was a good or bad character. And if it was bad, the story goes on to share why this character choose that path.
I simply loved the music!

I can say this is by far my new favorite Chinese drama for this year even though it was released in 2019. I’ve rewatched this 3 times now!

Let me start by saying that I do feel reviews in general are based on an individual’s preference and Vincenzo is definitely my type of Korean drama.

This drama is currently on the top of my “most anxious/anticipated drama to watch”. It is hilariously funny, it’s got suspense, unexpected events, always something new and different to share in each episode. Some people might think this drama is a bit overboard with the comedy but I loved it! I enjoy every bit of it and each supporting actor contributes to that at one point or another. Each one also seems to be an expert in a different field from one another, so they each have their turn to shine and I also enjoyed this.

SONG JOONG KI - he makes an awesome Vincenzo, he’s got the cool, handsome vibe. He’s supposedly serious but that’s also what makes him just as funny. He’s a greater fighter and a sharp shooter. He really does make Vincenzo extremely attractive.

JEON YEO BIN - first time watching her and she’s got a great partner in crime with SJK so I’m hoping they can make her character shine a bit more.

OK TAEC YEON - seeing him play a villain was a bit difficult to adjust in the beginning but his character definitely grew on me. I loved his every so often small English phrases, I enjoyed seeing his anger and his frustration, just his plain evilness, he does a good job.

I feel the only thing lacking thus far is the romance between ML and FL and I’m such a huge fan of a good romance, so I’m hoping we get to see a bit more of it as it’s coming close to ending.

I watch this drama the same way someone would watch a movie at the theater. I need my snacks and drinks ready so I can be in tune, not miss a beat, and glue to my seat. I feel not every drama needs to be 100% serious and by the book, having a mixture of everything brings out the best of all worlds.
