Vincenzo aka SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

 


Tis a thing of beauty besuited Song Joong-ki is. Gimme dark and broody Song Joong-ki stat please.

A quick primer: Vincenzo is the story of the titular character Vincenzo Casano, aka Park Joo-hyeong. At the age of eight, he gets adopted and moves to Italy. He later grows up to be a lawyer and consigliere in the mafia. War breaks out between rival groups and he flees to South Korea, where he meets lawyer Hong Cha-young (played by rising young star Jeon Yeo-bin). And, in typical kdrama fashion, they fall in love. 

I kid, I kid. I'm sure other lawyery and melodramatic things happen along the way. Vincenzo is written by screenwriter Park Jae-beom, who wrote the cult classic God's Quiz on OCN, so you know this isn't going to be simple romance between a Mafioso and his lady love. He also wrote the vampire medical headscratcher Blood. I dropped that show right quick, so his credentials are 50-50 right now for me. The show is being directed by Kim Hee-won PD-nim. Taecyeon, Yoo Jae-myung, Kim Yeo-jin, and Kwak Dong-yeon also star.

Vincenzo will premiere on February 20, 2021 on TVN. I can't wait!
