Over complex a simple story

A simple story, travel back in time to correct the future, but due to the constant time flipping it is so annoying and unnecessary. I lost interest in this. I only watch this as KD is doing a remake of this. I hope the KD does not make a mess like this.
Also she is not beautiful and for a Taiwanese girl so guys chasing her and dying for her lol makes me laugh.
If you are bored and happy to sit in front of this drama, non stop, and do nothing, you might understand and follow the story, but in 2023 who has time. Maybe ppl was lockdown in 2020 so they had time to sit and watch as they was nothing to watch.
A bad boy gets beaten by up by a nerd doctor, please....

I know this is a melodrama to heavy drama series but I have to say I laughed more than I cried watching this drama. Grim Reaper having no name and business card were my favorites, I enjoyed the scenes of Grim Reaper - Kim Shin, -Yoo Deok-hwa and Ji Eun-tak fun moments inside their house. At first i was not sure how to feel about the main leads, but their acting made me fall in love with their characters. They were able to show how love can lighten up even the hardest situations in life. I also like how bold they are in showing their feelings to each other. I love that how they feel is being seen from their faces in their acting. I love Gon Yoo's acting esp when he is fluttered :) And who would not love to watch 3 good-looking male leads and a cute leading lady.

Good Enough

Korean Drama " Vincenzo " had a good concept but there were times that it didn't make it work.

The main problem with this drama is the length. It's not only twenty episodes long, each episode also was about an hour and twenty minutes. However, the story was not for that length. Therefore, there were episodes, especially the final ones, when the story was full of fillers, unnecessary twists, and ridiculous situations that were trying too hard to be funny. The blend, though, of action, comedy, and legal themes was an interesting combination that worked for most of the cases. Most of the characters were also pretty interesting, though some of them, like the piano lady and the female lead, were annoying and it was obvious that they were written to be eccentric, but that was presented in a way that screamed try-hard. The villain was a boring character in the second half of the drama. However, it must be noted that the big twist was an innovative one and pretty entertaining.

As for the performances, everyone did a great job, especially the male lead who finally found the right character for his proper comeback after the big hit DOTS.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Honestly IDK how this got such bad reviews

Abyss was absolutely beautiful and well integrated in my opinion. I hated the implications of beauty the whole thing had. But otherwise the crime, supernatural activity and romance was well integrated. I understand the criticism that there wasn't much explanation about the abyss itself. But IMO since it was just bestowed on Cha Min, they are themselves slowly discovering things about the marble. It was understandable to me that the story ended without too much being revealed about it as it was unnecessary and did not contribute to the story as a whole. I loved the crime aspect of it. The second villain did not have good enough motivations in my opinion. But the first villain was iconic and well written. The series kept my interest high and kept me on the tip of my feet. I wouldn't recommend it to most people. If it seems to be your type from this, then go for it.

Anti-Hero Hero Glorifield

I have had a lot of thoughts while watching this show. Both good and bad. Let's start with the good shall we:

1) Production Design - Amazing production and direction. The Italy piece was amazingly shot. Made me pause just to look at the vertical shots, and the different angles many action scenes were shot as well. The fight choreography was decent. Every arson scene looked so real.

2) The Villains - I was definitely more interested in the villains than the main character (will come to that later). Ok Teac Yeon made me so much invested in his character that I completely ditched the MC, and was primarily watching for him. For me, he was definitely the USP and the one character which I felt could have had better treatment. Choi Myung Hee was such a great subversion for a feminist trope that I never knew I needed. She really made me hate her character and I really despised her till the end.

3) Song Jong Ki - The man is so charismatic as Vincenzo, it is really difficult to take your eyes off him. Half the reason Vincenzo works is because of this man.

4) Supporting Characters - I did have a like-dislike relationship with the Plaza people. It was definitely a funny gag to see how each one of them was immensely talented, and their coming together as the Casanno family really melted my heart. But their search for the gold plot tested my patience and I skipped their many scenes.

5) Music - The Music and Background Scores are bangers and elevated the scenes a lot. The song Adrenaline really did come at a funny situation, but still a banger.

6) Chemistry - SJK had chemistry with almost all the actors and even more so with his male cast members. I did feel a little queerbaiting here and there but I cast was really good and the acting was amazing.

Now what didn't work for me:

1) Vincenzo as a static character - VC is a charter who remained static from start to end. He has precisely one change in the entire show which was after episode 3. And the ONLY consequence or low point in his life was episode 17 when his mother died. Apart from that Vincenzo would Swoop in save the day, get in trouble by the last few minutes of the episode, and then by the next episode within the first few minutes all his problems would get resolved. He is ALWAYS ahead in his game, never loses literally. I don't have a problem with OP characters but this problem persists throughout the show, which made me believe there was really nothing at the stake for him.

2) Themes - Glorification of VC as an anti-hero and no nuance themes. The drama treats VC as an anti-hero but at the same time, he acts as the hero most of the time. The show never shows me (lesser evil vs evil). It treats its lesser evil as a Heroic trait. All the scenes of VC come off across as "cool" or "wow" but never, is he right or wrong because he is always right. Even if you see the MC, he barely has more than a scratch on his face doing col stuff.

3) Female Lead - The FL really came off as annoying and over the top. She did shine through after episode 3 but rarely showed character development in the latter half of the show. She blindly followed all Vincenzos plan. While the actors did have chemistry and romance was slow-burn and had a comrade of a married couple, the romance did feel a little off and little to no need.

A different superhero story

Nothing just an ordinary family living a very ordinary life.

Bok Man Heum is struggling with her family as she wants their power back. Her son Gwi Ju jumps off from a cliff and power does not return. Does Da Hae comes in for the rescue? But it appears the girl has an ulterior plan on her sleeve.

A small and simple opening is unacceptable and unpredictable for superhero dramas. Unlike flying with wings or making their way through eye power, these heroes are struggling. Fighting their demons, they lack their sense of trust in the process. Interaction with normal humans does not help them. Then what is it to build their power again...

Highs of the drama:
1. Plot: It makes the audience think. You will wonder what is wrong with them as each episode builds.
2. The narrative: The director pays attention to building the nuances. The complexities of blood relations are no different than humans. This is the biggest flavor.

Lows of the drama
1. Too many challenges: It is like their struggles take no break. It comes one after another.
2. Poor chemistry: The leads lack the charismatic vibes which often pull the story.

Soo lets just say I was obsessed with this. I have been watching since episode 1 and every Friday would religiously check for the next episode. The first 8 or so episodes were absolute genius. They were literally all about the main couple. I would have preferred then to leave Tine and Sarawat there, then maybe the last 5 episodes could be about the other couples. Though I loved the first bit the only reason I stuck around for the ending to watch the side couples endings.they really left you hanging for the side couples till the last part of the last episode. Definitely a cute drama and perfect for starting off on bls. I guess you could say the last episodes are just basic and predictable parts the same way I felt about lbc. People think I’m crazy for dropping it but they give me the same boring vibes. Watch till the end but don’t hesitate to skip thru it’s kind of repetitive. Also about the rewatch being so low it is because I NEVER rewatch dramas.

Cansativo

Passei na frente de todos na minha lista devido à tantos elogios

Já assisti mais de cem doramas e só não gostei de um. Esse foi o segundo

Achei interessante a sinopse, os elogios e lá

1° episódio. A partir do segundo, já começou a ficar chato

Mas td bem, todo dorama tem aquela fase chatinha

Mas não passou. Chato, arrastado. Sempre os mesmos assuntos: festival e acidente

Não dropei pq nunca dropo. Vou até o último segundo

Até o final foi ruim. Ficou devendo o q acontece c vários personagens

Não recomendo
