Not like your typical hyped up dramas

When I first stumbled upon Vincenzo, I was intimidated by the sheer popularity; from Tiktok to Instagram, literally, everyone was talking about this. Having seen how hyped up dramas like True Beauty turned out, I was hesitant in starting it, scared that I would end up being severely disappointed. What I didn't know was that this drama would soon land a well-earned spot on my top 10 dramas list.

The story/plot: Writer Park Jae-Bum and Director Kim Hee-Won really created a story filled with every single emotion on the spectrum, putting an amazing cast together and bringing the story to life. The story begins with an intriguing plot and continues for the whole season; there are small yet necessary build-ups that are vital for character development, making the plot even more fascinating. Of course, the added mystery of the Mafia aspect attracts any crime/mystery fan. What more can you ask for? The best part for me was the development of the romance. There was no rush to incorporate their intimate relationship yet you could clearly see how much the two leads loved each other. The tenderness shared between them gives you the impression of two best friends who will always be by the other's side, no matter the obstacle.

Actors: The people who brought everything to life. Song Joong-ki. NEVER disappoints. His range is impeccable. But I got to give it to Jeon Yeo-been. To act out such a lovable character and have everyone under her grasp was something she went beyond with. Her emotions spilled through the screen, and her chemistry with every single actor she worked with was truly amazing. And of course, the Cassano family. Every great kdrama has a squad, one that brings a touch of humor and also a sense of home. It was impossible not to love every one of them, each of them making up for the space left by the others and coming to form a perfect circle. Also, another scene added to the most iconic walking scenes in Korean dramas (if you know what I mean ;)

Music: John Park's "I'm Always By Your Side" is on repeat. That's all. Also, the instrumentals, Jipuragi, RDU-90, and Giseok Theme illustrated what the scenes would sound like perfectly.

Overall, you won't be disappointed. Come join the Corn Salad family!

extra!!! watch the behind the scenes videos and all their interviews! Truly amazing people off and on screen.
