On point! I will never truly forget the tension I felt while watching Vincenzo.
I honestly couldn't tell you, I've seen good chemistry in many shows but nowhere near Vincenzo. 'It's okay to not be okay' had good chemistry between the main leads and fairly slow burn romance as well. There are some that have great chemistry between the male leads, like The Devil Judge and Beyond Evil. But Vincenzo-level of chemistry I haven't seen ever.
On point! I will never truly forget the tension I felt while watching Vincenzo.
IKR! I am re-watching it for like the 4th time, and I keep noticing new hidden glances and expressions and little 'Easter eggs' throughout the show still, even though I watched it pretty carefully the first time too. Just can't get over that couple.
Coming back to this show because I JUST CANNOT LET GO OF IT!!! Re-watching it for the 4thtime now, and I keep finding new glances, new looks shared between the lead couple, and new subtle hints throughout the show!!! This show was just SO DAMN GOOD.
If you love a chill dark comedy, with SIZZLING chemistry between the main leads, a smart and logical and sexy male lead, an understanding and mature and endlessly charming and sexy female lead, villains full of charisma and brutality, side characters worth their salt (although annoying at times), and a whole lot of STUNNING cinematography and music, you'll LOVE this show!
Also I have newfound love for Jeon Yeo Bin and Song Joong Ki !
I think watching Vincenzo last year has truly spoiled me to appreciate any silly romance shows now. I've become addicted to watching the gradual but unmistakable intimacy and understanding that a couple reaches while they're trying to go about their lives, and they just get closer and closer PURELY organically and it feels like the most natural thing in the world and it just makes SENSE. Anybody in those situations can feel the sexual tension and chemistry between them and VINCENZO was just the crème de la crème of what a relationship should be like.
Business Proposal was a little too cliche, a little too silly for me to appreciate the cutesy situations and coincidences and what-not. BUT I loved the boss/secretary relationship (although it was a bit shady how they decided their individual professions but anyway...), both the lead couples were very cute, I also liked the adorable grandfather and how he seemed to change his mind about Shin Ha Ri in the hospital. I didn't like the random vamp ex-girlfriend of Min Woo as much, also didn't like the female lead's cliched parents who seemed to be a bit greedy and overly conservative at times. I liked the music, and the length for this kind of a show was appropriate, it made perfect sense to end it where it did. Although the random scene at the end when Ha Ri is rushing to New York simply after reading about a 'scandal' involving Tae Moo showed a lot of insecurity between them, but that's not my problem haha.
I also think the glaring similarities (yet many dissimilarities) this show had to What's Wrong With Secretary Kim just made it impossible for me to like this show, and that's just what it is. WWWSK is the PINNACLE of rom-com for me, and I HIGHLY recommend everyone to give it a try too. I think it's extremely important to mention that it is my parent's favourite show too, and they've seen a lot of Korean dramas at this point.
I think the show maybe could've been good if it wasn't for Park Min Young's over-acting and strutting around in heels and formal-wear while making incorrect and cowardly choices throughout the show, and also a different male lead, among countless other things, but that's just me. The only good thing about the show was Kwon Hae Hyo, the wonderful Director, who I will always remember as Brian from Search WWW, the best boss in Kdrama history.
EDIT: OH and one of the WORST female lead's mothers in Kdrama history lol, that woman was manipulative, suffocating, selfish, self-centered, and thoughtless to the MAX. I like that actress though. Also one of the worst fathers too.
Honestly I believe that no one is a true NJH hater, they just hate that he makes them love him so badly LOL FIGHTING OPPA YOU WILL ROCK IT IF THIS IS CONFIRMED
I am all for remakes, and I always fully support new actors playing and putting their own twist to roles which have already been made before. HOWEVER, You simply can't remake something that Song Joong Ki has already mastered. Imagine someone else playing Vincenzo Cassano? N.O. I love Lee Joon Gi and Shin Se Kyung, but this is just nonsense tbh.
Can't believe that anyone thinks someone can replace Song Joong Ki in a role that he has already played before! I'm a HUGE fan of LJG, but this ain't it.
