Remember the PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ which took the world by storm? That was the only start of people discovering what popular Korean music really is.
In the year 2020, eight years after ‘Gangnam Style’, the South Korean movie ‘Parasite’ made history by becoming the first foreign-language film to ever win the Oscars, and this proved how Korean movies and K-Dramas are ruling hearts globally.
With the passage of time, K Dramas have become more popular even in Pakistan and we talk about popularity, 2021’s most anticipated series ‘Vincenzo’ comes into mind.
Vincenzo, which originally streamed on Netflix in 2021 is surprisingly still trending on the online streaming platform; this has left us thinking so many questions about how can a year-old drama occasionally trends among the top 10 categories.
Undeniable chemistry
Vincezo is no doubt one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2021. Thanks to its unique storyline, amazing OSTs, and the undeniable chemistry between the two leads; Song Joong Ki and Jeon Yeo Been.
From the start, it has kept the audience hooked because of their firm grip over the storyline, romance, fashion, and music.
An Eye For An Eye
Based on crime drama with a splash of dark comedy, the drama is based on the concept of ‘only evil can punish evil’.
Interestingly, unlike the other dramas, the hero in the play is himself a villain and his leading lady is an opportunist and a smart lawyer.
Fashion statement
Song Joongki’s presence as Vincenzo Cassano was not the only thing to drool over in the drama, it was the main characters’ classy outfits as well. Joong Ki’s well-tailored suits, stunning watches, as well as luxury silk pajamas were a treat to eye and if we talk about Jeon Yeobeen who played the character of Hong Cha-young, boy her fashion statements were top notch.
The hard-headed lawyer stylish power suits and dresses and tried every colour on her which suited her so well that we fell in love with every dress she wore. She gave off cool yet lovely vibes in work suits that are anything but boring. The pastel colors and unique cuts of her suits make her look extraordinary and stunning.
Unexpected twists
A common trope seen in K-dramas is the one event that changes the storyline going forward. It’s what sparks a match for the characters to change their ways or band together for the greater good.
In this drama, almost in every episode there comes a major twist and it is so unpredictable that one would never thought of. When you think you know what will happen in the end and that’s where the twist will pop out.
Global popularity
What global fans loved the most about the drama was its unique storyline, Vincenzo and Chayoung’s relationship, and how it is not forced or rushed. Typically, the drama consists of 20 episodes, but Vincenzo had 20 amazing episodes. Moreover, what makes this drama so worth watching is that a seemingly small storyline blows up into a much bigger picture.
