This show had everything it needed for me to give this a high rating, but I got bored every now and again when Dongwook was not part of the scenes. The two main cases were very interesting but had its draggy moments. The bromance was definitely my fave part of the show.
One of the best Korean dramas I have EVER seen! I will say if you do not like mafia-related movies or shows, THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! Because Vincenzo Cassano gets down to business... he is with ALL THE SMOKE!
It needs to be known that Soong Jong ki is my favorite Korean actor. So, I expected nothing but the best from him and I got above and beyond that in his role as Vincenzo Cassano. It is probably his best and my favorite role by him! Yes... even over Reborn Rich. I love a good mafia man in a show/movie so I am not sure he can top this one, but we shall see! I have never seen Jeon Yeo Been in anything before, but I loved everything she brought to the table. What a hilarious queen! His partnership with Cha Young was so hilarious yet deadly and they have so much chemistry even though this is not really a romance. Also, I love the ragtag family team who always helps + supports him no matter what.
As for my 2PM bias TaecYeon, I had to keep reminding myself I absolutely love him because this charismatic yet psychotic role he played was played TOO brilliantly. He is really a great actor! I will definitely be watching all his dramas. I love when a K-Idol can act. Also, a shoutout to Kwak Dong Yeon's role as Han Seo. I need him to finally play a role where his character is finally happy though!
OVERALL: I love how this show keeps me on my toes. It can be a thriller or comedy with some romantic aspects. While this does have that comedy tag and believe me it is hilarious, especially with the ragtag team BEWARE of the CRIME tag because when Vincenzo starts his mafia works, it is no joke. So, this show is not for the faint of heart because there are some very INTENSE + DARK moments in this drama. I thought I was watching an American version of blood & gore for a moment. I am not complaining though because of the way justice was served... It was Perfezione!
So, I watched this because I wanted to watch something similar to W, but I stayed for Lee Jae Wook. I ended up loving Baek Kyung the most out of everyone despite his toxicity. Haha. I just really wanted him to be happy.
Also, Lee Do Hwa & Fairy Squid were so hilarious... loved their much-needed bromance and humor. As for Haru, I liked him at first, but he became meh after a while. I rolled my eyes every time he came on the screen. Sorry, Rowon... still love you though. Finally, the music was so amazing & already have it on my Spotify playlist.
This put me on to Jaewook... and I already watched most of his works due to this drama. 8.0/10
Now ready for the finale of Alchemy of Souls part 2
I was taken back in time to the major disappointment I felt with the Game of Thrones finale. SMH. Like, I feel unsatisfied with the ending. I am questioning if I wasted my time. The writers really just did whatever with this ending. It felt so meh. I will still rate this drama an 8.5 though.
Hi everyone! Haven't been able to keep up with dramas lately, so I'm back now. How high would you recommend this…
Highly recommended. I am not a fan of business-related dramas, but I LOVE Song Joong ki & love reincarnation stories, so I gave it a chance & it is AMAZING! It is a story mainly about revenge with in-depth aspects of the business side of things, but it was great. The acting from everyone is exceptional, especially Lee Sung Min. Get through ep 1 which is meh, but the rest is great!
12 episodes in, but Kim Han Mi is the best girl in this drama! If he had to end up with someone, I wish it would be her. Their chemistry is so natural.
