Reviews

Most Enjoyable

I'm totally fascinated by the people who gave this drama a negative review simply because the main lead treated the female lead badly (thier words not mine). So Dear Reader, when you read reviews also keep in mind that reviews are subjective and people put their personal feelings into the review instead of analysing the drama for what it is.

Park Jae Eon from Episode 1 showed his true self and what he wanted, Yoo Na Bi knew this yet went ahead with the relationship .... so why are you all mad when things went south? It was inevitable. Yoo Na Bi was actually irritating. She spend all the time listening to other people's opinions and then went from one bad decision to another and her clear desperations made her jump from man to man. Relationships are toxic if you don't know what you are getting into, but if you walk into the relationship knowing exactly what you are getting then that's your choice.

Realistic? Absolutely! Yes people, this is reality. There was none of that fluffy, all roses, nauseating and irritating romance that Korean dramas just love to give us, and makes me fast forward.

I enjoyed this drama and watched it in one sitting because I simply couldn't stop watching. I had to see what's next? It was a great storyline that flowed from start to finish, episode to episode. Definitely will watch it again.

The music was awesome, so I went out and purchased the album.

Amazing i still can't get over this drama short unfortunately but every week i enjoyed watching it , the cast acting was on top they all interpreted their roles correctly one thing i absolute love is how the main characters shows their love for each other just by actions , the plot is very interesting and followed a correct chronological order one thing that personaly hit me was the message of this drama one value that the main characters were sticking to it was to treat everyone the same way even when they are infected and this reminded me of myself when i had covid and sometimes i was treated as a danger or like i am the virus itself , overall i recommend this drama a 100%.

A BIG NO!!

I was pretty excited to watch this due to the high ratings, but it didn’t keep my interest. I literally suffered through maybe 5 episodes, but dropped it. Very boring for me, but I can’t put my finger on why… I think because I’m comparing it with the acting and strong plots in other period Dramas I’ve watched. Dramas that I binged watched because they were so good. Dramas like: The Red Sleeve, The Crowned Clown, A Frozen Flower, all the Rurouni Kenshin Dramas, Empress Ki, Mr. Sunshine, Moon Lovers, just to name a few. Shogun just wasn’t good, but I guess it’s because I am comparing it to the ones I listed. I gave it a 4 for the production value. I was happy to drop it, my suffering is over. Maybe I’ll just re-watch Moon Lovers

If you like action, it may be worth a watch

Finished the show in a week! It was an entertaining show, and I enjoyed the action sequences. I definitely don't buy that a stuntman is better than trained special forces and practically invincible, but this drama isn't about the realism anyways haha There are many twists and turns, but also a tad predictable if you are a fan of similar shows or movies. Mostly fun to watch, but not a show that will have me thinking about it for long afterwards.

Ending didn't anger me as much, but I was getting less invested as drama progressed and knew it would be open ending. What was annoying is final scenes were exactly the same as the beginning...felt lazy like was there really a need to start with those scenes? I think they should've shown less at the start for a more impactful ending.

She Was Pretty bisa saja kelanjutan cerita Kill Me Heal Me versi Hwang Jung Eum dengan Park Seo Joon, hihi. Nggak ding. Ini sama sekali bukan kelanjutan Kill Me Heal Me, namun banyak candaan di media sosial mengenai dua drama tersebut. Lucu juga sih kalau misalkan beneran, kan.

Story

Kim Hye Jin, tumbuh menjadi seorang gadis berambut keriting dan jerawatan. Ji Seong Joon, tumbuh menjadi pemuda tampan dan pekerja keras. Perubahan keduanya benar-benar menakjubkan. Bagaimana tidak? Sewaku kecil Hye Jin sangatlah cantik dan seseorang yang baik kepada siapa saja. Dan itu pulalah yang membuat Seong Joon kecil jatuh hati pada Hye Jin. Hingga suatu hari, Seong Joon harus berpisah dengan Hye Jin. Mereka berjanji akan saling bertemu di kemudian hari. Tapi ketika waktunya sudah tiba, mengapa Hye Jin tidak mau bertemu dengan cinta pertamanya? Dan ketika Ha Ri menyukai Seong Joon, apa yang harus Hye Jin lakukan?

Wah, She Was Pretty menganut paham 'cinta masa kecil' nih. Kalau menganut paham tersebut sih, akhirnya pasti udah ketebak. Tapi yang aku suka dari kebanyakan drama Korea, mereka selalu menampilkan latar belakang pekerjaan si aktor-aktrisnya dengan detail. Di She Was Pretty ini mengusung pekerjaan di balik sebah majalah fashion. Dan aku suka banget kalau ceritanya lagi ada di kantor majalah. Seru banget.

Acting/Cast

Sebelumnya aku udah nonton aktingnya Hwang Jung Eum dan Park Seo Joon sebagai adik-kakak di Kill Me Heal Me. Di sini kemistri mereka dapet banget. Menurutku karakter Kim Hye Jin nggak beda jauh sih sama karakter Oh Ri Jin, heboh nya samaaa, haha. Aku suka Park Seo Joon di sini. Mungkin karena dia peran utama jadi karismanya dapet banget. Tapi aku lebih suka Hye Jin - Shin Hyeok masa. Ketawa mulu tiap ada mereka berdua. Aku juga suka sama karakernya Pemred Kim. Saat dia memberikan ambutan di ulang tahun The Most, kata-katanya menyentuh sekali. Jadi baper bacanya (ya karena aku baca subtitlenya)

Music

Untuk soundtrack ada ih yang nyantol di telinga, tapi tetep yah, aku mles download lagunya. Cuman dengerin pa diputar di radio aja, xixi.

Rewatch Value

Karena ecara keseluruhan cerita ini tipe yang mudah ditebak bagaimana akhirnya, jadi untuk di tonton ulang sepertinya nggak deh. Paling pas adegan yang menurutku seru aja, kayak adegannya Hye Jin-Shin Hyeok, haha.

improve drama

if this had any realness to it, they'd have all walked out alone. I looked at this like I do any other drama, cheesy writer with cheesier acting. but I still enjoyed it cuz that's the main element in entertainment, CHEESE~~~~~

this was 100% scripted cuz no one would act that cheesyliy, falling in love in 8 days? choosing and fighting for someone you know nothing about beside their ideal type? rejecting someone before talking to them? they were all basically trying to not end up alone and get more screentime, do I blame them, nope.
did I enjoy nagging about every single contestant? yes. do I think any of them showed their true self? no. do I care about their real personalities? also no cuz I'm pretty sure all of them would be more secure of themselves when faced with real people they're interested in ;p

Eu tinha encontrando esse drama por acaso no youtube há alguns meses, mais ai do nada ele foi retirando, deixei de lado até que o encontrei legendado de PT-BR e quando vi devorei os 18 episódios que tinham e depois assisti em espanhol.
O elenco inteiro está de parabéns, mais quem merece Palmas é os atores principais, não tinha uma hora em que eu não surtava com aquelas trocas de olhares, aquele ciumes escondido por causa da censura.
Mais lhes digo aquele final foi aberto, podem muito bem explorar ainda mais a a historia dos dois como um casal, nem que seja na entrelinhas.
Só lhes digo esse foi o melhor drama do ano e para mim está na categoria BL por causa daquela frase que o Zhao Yun Lan disse no final: Agora você tem a resposta (Ou algo do tipo porque meu espanhol não é muito bom) e nem precisou de beijo ou amasso.

What a Ride!

It is difficult to put it in the right words. Vincenzo is one of a kind.
Vincenzo is the best series I've seen this year. Period. The cast, the story and the OST, everything was just perfecto. It was the best mix out of tension, intrigues, comedy and heart-warming scenes with amazing side characters and overwhelming twists and turns. Vincenzo is indeed a feelgood drama.
I've seen that some people are upset because of the glorification of the mafia, his action and the impossibility of defeating Vincenzo, but keep in mind it is just a fictional series. I personally do not quiet much enjoy action or thriller series and movies, only if they are paired with warmth or justice (can be viewed from different perspectives here...) they are an option for me. Due to the fact that there were that many unexpected turns and Vincenzo really knew how to deal with gangsters, every cliffhanger kept me going straight into the next episode.

To the main leads (all the supporting actors were great, too, and I'm looking forward to their next projects).
I knew both of the before. I've seen Jeon Yeo‑been in BeMelodramatic. Furthermore, I really enjoyed her acting, and she kinda carried the show for me. When I started watching Vincenzo, I was very surprised. She seemed like a completely different person, and I'm still very impressed by her talent.
I know Song Joong‑ki from Descendants of the Sun (DoS) and I'm so glad I do not speak Italian because I'm pretty sure he delivered those Italian lines just like the English lines in DoS. In DoS you really noticed that he didn't know what he was doing, and that he was allowed to do it in such a way surprises me. In general, I only liked him semi in the series, but that could also have been due to the relationship structure. So here it did not bother me, because of my lack of knowledge, which means I can not judge it at all. I liked him a lot in here. He embodied Vincenzo perfectly with his innocent looks and confidence.
Ok Taec‑yeon was the perfect representative of the multiple personalities and played his two roles very well. The magic happens in the eyes like I could almost grab the madness.
My personal highlight was episode 8, but obviously all of them are bangers.
It's about power struggles, friendship, the past and reinvention among most of the characters. In the end of Vincenzo, the relationship of the main leads is not defined, but I can easily say that I have not seen such a healthy relationship in a Drama for a long time. There is no crossing of borders, no invasion of privacy and if somebody told a lie, it was accepted until the person was ready to talk about whatever happened. Nobody needed to change or complement the other, they liked each other as complete individuals. They just liked being around each other and had the same goal.
The music never failed to hype me up. I really loved everything about it, but I'm pretty sure there will not be another season.

BTW since they are calling themselves the Cassanovo Family, aren't they also a part of the mafia XD

Best K-drama ever!

This drama is different I tell you!The actors surprised me with their outstanding acting that caused me to cry almost every episode. I’ve never watched a drama like this before it took me by surprise, I was drawn into it that I became obsessed and wanted more every weekend. I watched it ongoing and it drove me waiting for the weekend for the other episodes which caused me to rewatch from the start. It’s been a month since the series is over and I’m not able to watch any k drama because this drama set my standard for k drama so high!
Chief kiss it deserve all the praises!
