I looked up the og text and yeah, "유언장을" means "make one's will" as it is the conjugated form from "유언장" (yuenjjang, meaning will/testament) so that seems to be accurate. I guess she wrote the things she wanna do before dying in there too, maybe? But given Go-Jin's reaction, it's meaning had been pretty clear to him, and as such he no longer can allow himself to waste time on his fears. Finally a misunderstanding which moves things forward instead of backwards😏

"Before he learns of the misdiagnosis, Gojin, who found a diary in which Shin-Ah wrote down her will, misunderstands that she is dying, and realizes that he cannot give up his love for Shin-Ah."

I really hope more ppl like you switch over from ABP, which sadly completely overshadowed this drama, to CL now, as it deserves so much more love and recognition than it currently gets, tbh. So underrated, alas.

Yeeeeees, I have been raving on about that further down the comments lol, as this has been my first impression about this drama too. Vicenzo is like Mr. Queen one of these very rare kdrama which does combine genres so well and switches between them fluently. Aka the tonal shift never feels sudden or awkward but in line and organically what the drama has established as baseline, so to speak. Like Mr. Queen, Vicenzo is the full package of all genres, well written, lovable characters, side and main, that go off the rails if needed (comedy or badass-wise) Like Cheoljong always planned ahead, having the bigger picture in mind (while playing the fool) so does Vincenzo, and yet it remains an infuriating equal cat and mouse game, toe to toe, till the end with the utterly despicable villains. And Hong giving me the strongest Sobong vibes haha. The teamwork and partnership between Hong and Cassano also reminds me of the later mr.queen episodes where CJ/Sobong became joseon's power couple :D

Vicenzo is a slower watch for me than my bingewatch of mr.queen ... twice (so far) simply due to length but god are they ever similar in the whole feel, structure etc. which is why i love this drama tons.

You can thouigh? ;)

... unless you mean the next episode, then well, we are all in this together lol

This drama gets better and better with each episode instead of following the typical kdrama downward trend and i love it for that. The (lead) character writing is done and executed so well, same for their slowburn relationship progression. It is on par with Mr. Queen for me so far, and i don't say THAT lightly. I just hope it keeps up this way for the remaining episodes.

Yeah here is why execution matters, like the sad, lonely boy backstory is so played out by now and overused, but they have done it so so well with giving us only bits and pieces and then really impactful pictures and scenes that, along with the great acting, you cannot NOT feel for him. I really love how the writing of the lead character(s) is done so far.

In case you need some more serotonin after the recent kdrama disappointments, try these "older" kdrama (romcoms) alongside Crazy Love. Fluffy, funny, heartwarming and everything in between, and all with happy ending and worth watching. (My personal recs, so some you may have already seen and can be ignored)

Since ABP has ended now (really enjoyed it even if last episode was a bit meandering) and in case you all miss your weekly dose of kdrama romcom on monday, check out Crazy Love which ran before "in the shadow" of ABP's popularity and definitely deserves more love, because it is really really good <3

Do you know Mr. Queen? Because the enemies to lovers romance is as equally slowly and carefully build up here in this drama. Aka suited to the characters and progressed organically instead of 180 insta love. Every episode we see a bit more of them catching feelings tho and it is really well done, so far.

I think they mean their first impression of the drama was like that but the comments showed there is more to the show?

this felt so much like a parody on bad (romance) kdrama dialogue xD like their meeting prior to wife appearing was so campy and over the top with deliberately stilted acting to boot lmao

ikr? But yeah good idea haha🤗🤗🤗

Also that potato in the water glass he talks to and the bad photo-manip in the frame never on his desk fail to crack me up xD

this drama is getting BETTER AND BETTER CHANGE MY MIND

"In the end, you are going to leave me too."

Oh god, my heart. This scene teared me up. (Stellar acting of KJW too) This damn drama, it does such a good job to give depth to No Gojin as character, and make the viewer empathize with him. Like he has a full blown trauma/abandonment issues from the many instances he lost ppl dear to him, one way or another. And this is the reason he has become abrasive like that, because if you are a jerk/bite others first, no one can hurt you or come close, amiright? Excuse me while i 😭😭😭

I love that they don't suddenly switch to lovey dovey just because "it would be time for it now in eps xy." It is way more organic that way that they would still be pissed at each other at times (although now with caring undertones in their dynamic, outside of the pillowfight ofc.) Way more true to their characters as well. Reminds me of Mr.Queen too, tbh, hehe.
