Cha-chi Loves Vinny ⛏ A Golden K’Italian Fable °7.9° °a romp°
“Evil is prevalent and vehement.” Therefore, one fighting against it must be even more so.
Suits. Food. Paintings. Art. Wine; Vincenzo is Italian. Not by blood, but by choice. Opera and a nice dish of pasta really get his heart going. He's smart, he's methodical, and it's generally a bad idea to pi$$ him off, because he's not just Italiano, he's mafioso - a consigliere (which is NOT “corn salad,” though that's what it sounds like in Korean). When his father dies, his cousin takes to calling him an “uncivilized Yellow,” while at the same time demanding respect as the boss. (Vinny is not uncivilized. He's even kind to pigeons). Vinny (♈) points out that respect is earned (Amen!). After his cousin tries to kill him, ♈ decides to walk away. Arrivederci! Jjajangmyeon, kimchi, and tteokbokki here I come! Just for a month to get business done. Then it's off to Malta🏖.
♈ ain't nobody on the international crime scene. One NIS agent (Im Chul Soo from Alchemy of Souls-7.9) notices when ♈ lands in Seoul. He wants to follow him, but his boss isn't interested. Turns out, that agent is a tad obsessive. He takes leave to get a job in the building to watch ♈ closely. He develops a man-crush on ♈.
Meanwhile, back in 🇰🇷, attorney Cha is in court. She's arguing a case for Babel (big Pharma), and boy is she ruthless - even to her father - he's opposing counsel. But she does NOT lose. Yoo Jae Myung (Stranger) plays her father, Hong Yoo Chan. He's unrecognizable from his fantastic performance in Itaewon Class-8.9. Jo Han Chul (Mr. Plankton, Mother) is her boss, Han Seung Hyuk, CEO of Woosang Law firm. He's amazing in Romance Is a Bonus Book-7.9 as a poetry obsessed editor. He's also amazing in 100 Days My Prince-5.5, but the show tanks in the 2nd half - not his fault. Here, he's a lawyer. “I've never seen a sly person who wasn't a coward,” ♈ will say to him.
Korea is now a world leader in filmed entertainment. They must have felt a little left out because they didn't have a good catalog of Mafia shows. Haven't their orphans been adopted all over the world? What happens when a Korean is adopted into Italy? Into a Mafia family? A 2021 release that is rated 93 on AWiki, ♈ is 1 season consisting of 20 75-minute episodes. A behind the scenes extra episode was made but can't be streamed. I'm not exactly sure what I expected, but I did expect something with a more serious tone. Despite all the multiple deaths and a fair bit of gore, they keep it light-hearted. ♈ is a caper, a romp with a collection of fruit-and-nuts characters. There's just no criticizing it as it's all for laughs. It's well written, acted, and directed, so the creators maintained the confidence to have fun, and it's obvious that the cast is enjoying themselves. It shines through, and the audience can bask in it, ♈ isn't afraid to be heartbreaking, either. Many sad things happen.
There's a dilapidated building in a run down area of Seoul that's sitting on a gold mine. That's where the mob hid their gold. ♈’s mission in 🇰🇷 is to retrieve the gold stashed in a secret basement in the slums. Nothing is going his way, though. He's drugged and robbed by his limo driver. The old building he wants to destroy is inhabited by a collection of oddball tenants who unsettle /him/. The dry cleaner ruined his limited edition suit. The Italian chef is a fraud. The pawn shop owner also seems sketchy. When the manager of that shabby building arrives at home, thugs have taken his family hostage. They force him to sell the facility to Babel, Inc: Sign or die! He signed. The next day, he is “accidented to death,” and thugs show up to kick everyone out JUST when Cha is there having an argument with her dad (a do-gooder attorney who is helping the residents there). Cha doesn't respond well to thuggery. She resists. Things are getting ugly when ♈ shows up and everyone freezes. So, ♈ and Cha meet. That's just ep1.
As ep2 opens, ♈ quickly gets the upper hand. After the police leave, Cha says a few pithy words to him and then trots off. But wait! She stops. She realizes she's gone in the wrong direction😂! So much for the cool exit. She pivots and walks by him again. No words, no explanation no nod of the head… she's still cool ~ Even when she has to pivot. Apparently, she's got a chronic problem with going the wrong way as she does it again later in the parking lot. Let's not forget that she was defending Babel in court in ep1, so her life's been directed wrongly. ♈’s also going the wrong way. Perhaps they can turn it around together.
Jeon Yeo Been is Hong “Cha” Young. I loved her in Be Melodramatic-8.7 & Glitch-8. She's comfortably in her wheelhouse here, being smart, snarky, impatient, and aggressive. Song Joong Ki (Space Sweepers-7.6) is ♈ Cassano. He could have passed for a high school student despite being 34. He looks even younger than he did in Descendants Of The Sun-8.3.
Kim Yeo Jin is recruited to be Cha's new boss, Choi Myung Hee, the most unctuous and sleazy character in the show.. She had small parts in Daily Dose of Sunshine-7 & Itaewon Class-8.9, but she gets to shine here. She's smart and quite the individual. She doesn't seem to have moral qualms about helping an evil corporation do their dastardly deeds. She's sort of a monster. Yoon Byung Hee (Our Blues-8.5, Mr. Sunshine-9) portrays Nam Joo Sung, Jipuragi Law Firm's paralegal. He looks like your everyday geek, but he has fun surprises packed away. It's an amusing role. Ok Taec Yeon (Save Me, Blind, Heartbeat-4.8) portrays Jang “Jun” Woo, Cha's underling at the law firm as the show opens.
Kwak Dong Yeon (Queen of Tears, My ID Is Gangnam Beauty-7.5) is Jang Han Seo, CEO of Babel Corp. He doesn't seem to know what he's doing, and our gang quickly surmises that he's a front man. He's a half-ingenuous idiot, half-terrified little brother. There's so much going on in the show that I was taking his performance for granted until, north of episode 15, I realized his acting is stunning and he's nearly stealing the show. Screenwriter, Park Jae Bum, brought us Dinner Mate-7.2 & The Fiery Priest. The director is Ms Kim Hee Won of Queen of Tears & The Crowned Clown.
Babel took the building by force. ♈ is gonna get it back. There's no way he's letting them get his stash He goes to someone who knows Babel well - Cha's father has all the intel on this eeeevillle entity & their karat & stick: As Vinny reads up on them, he realizes they operate JUST like the mob. And their lawyers operate JUST like he did as a consigliere for the La Cosa Nostra. “Even though I know that the game is rigged, I must give it my all to beat them. That's my fate. Smart people may rule the world, but reckless and stubborn people like me protect this world.” Cha's father is an inspiring character. ♈ looks stunned after he hears this. A tragedy changes the course of Cha's life. Instead of shilling for Babel, she decides to take up her father's cause and fight them. When the 2 leads start working together, they are in sync. It's seamless. They aren't motivated by good; not yet. She wants revenge and she wants to win. He wants his gold.
This is a thunder dome match. Only one side will exit alive. They go on one campaign after another to bring Babel and its depraved leaders to justice (for the record, ep4 is magnificent), but Babel is loaded with money and resources, and they don't play fair. Just like a horror movie, the Pharma company gets back up no matter how many times it's knocked down, and the game turns ever bloodier. ♈ and Cha deal out serious blows that Babel never saw coming (they even did the Carrie thing and dropped a bucket of blood on a dude while he was on stage), but they reconnoiter, regroup, and put their near limitless resources to work. Babel's not afraid to get their hands dirty. They rather enjoy it. ♈ doesn't mind a good fight in the mud himself. Cha positively relishes it. “Sometimes one wins because one doesn't give up. It doesn't come down to merely skill every time.”
The weakest aspect of the show is that it does get outrageous, but that's also the funnest part.
The true chairman of Babel has been undercover. I can see why he did and the job he did, /sort of/ but it doesn't entirely make sense. It is overlookable, though, since he's clearly not sane.
“All this time, we thought we were weak. We weren't weak. We just didn't try to be strong. We're going to give it our all, now.” Before long, the building residents are turned into prospectors & gold diggers. A homeless person, in exchange for dinner, tells the residents he was on the team that built the secret chamber for the tons of gold. He actually has a picture of himself posing with the gold bars. The rest of his crew were killed. He only escaped death by going underground. Convinced, the residents decide that they're going to Go for the Gold. They start searching. (Apparently none of them have heard of a metal detector). In matters like this, silence is golden. If anyone else finds out about what's underneath the building, everybody in the country will be trying to get it. Still, the problems will not cease for them! They need a retinal scan from the guy who was in charge at the time this was all set up. He's not even alive anymore. It almost seems like that gold might as well be fool's gold.
The romance isn't a focus. It's hard to tell if they're attracted to e/o at all until… In ep14, they are running yet another scam. He tells her she can't wear her pantsuit to this one. After buying a dress, he takes her to a jewelry store and puts a necklace and earrings on her that are to die for. She comments that they're too expensive for a single job. He deflects by saying, “It's not a gift, I'm only transferring them to the rightful owner.” Swooner! They stole another couple's reservation of an entire art gallery and are on an elaborate play-date. Babel's been using art for smuggling and money laundering, and they believe something crucial is hidden on the grounds. What Cha-chi & ♈ didn't know was that the man had planned a surprise proposal for his gf. The gallery employees are completely caught up in the moment: “Get down on one knee!” “Declare your love!” “Present the 💍.” “Seal it with a 💋.” He was about to try and squirm out of it when her lips met his. She kept her eyes closed, and he kept his open, but not forever. He closes eyes and starts reciprocating, and then she opens her eyes… and closes them again. The whole thing played out softly and slowly to lite jazz music over 53 seconds. That's no trifle. It's lovely. It's way up there with first kisses shown on film.
As for the couple whose big date was stolen, the residents picked that couple up and gave them the night of their life. Dinner at the Italian restaurant, a show put on by some of the more talented nutcases occupying the building, and the pièce de résistance: They got engaged in the Buddhist temple. It all went so well that we see other couples doing the same thing later.
♈ keeps its tongue in its cheek. It's the furthest thing from serious. The borderline overacting is part of the fun factor. They get away with all of it due to the crisp timing and excellent delivery. It reminds us that “the real gold isn't in a mine. It's in your heart. Finding gold will not fill your heart.”
QUOTES🗣
One who achieves small victories will eventually achieve big ones.
When you continuously turn lies into truth, you become blinded to the truth.
The only free cheese is in the mouse trap.
The strongest punch comes from behind.
There's no law that can punish a monster like {him}.
Ignorance isn't a sin, but refusing to learn is.
To not have is to have. (Thank the monks for that one).
Be careful which ladder you choose to climb
You know how people are. The less you know about something, the easier you believe it.
Friends are like two souls in one body.
All the criticisms children give their parents will come back as regrets… Regret is the most painful thing in life.
Do you know how to tell when someone's become evil? It's when they stop feeling ashamed.
