Review:

Vincenzo is a South Korean television series which aired on tvN network, each episode was released on Netflix in South Korea and internationally after it’s television broadcast. 

Vincenzo Cassano (Song Joong-ki) – is an Italian Lawyer and Mafia consigliere of Korean descent. Song Joong- ki is an apposite choice for this role. His devilish side matches well at the beginning. Later on he becomes close with tenants at Geumga Plazza which fades out his dark sides. 

Hong Cha-Young (Jeon Yeo-been) – is a lawyer and the daughter of Hong Yoo-chan. Her dynamic performance suits well. 

Jang Jun-woo / Jang Han-seok (Ok Taec-yeon) – is the true CEO of Babel group and the main antagonist of this series. He has done lot of egregious things to others. He is pertinent for this flagitious character. 

So many characters played important roles. Some interesting characters are Kim Yeo-jin, Kwak Dong-yeon, Yoon Bok-in and Choi Young-joon.

Director Kim Hee-won has done a fantastic job. Writer Park Jae-bum has written somewhat different story from other typical korean drama plots. But, he dragged the story a lot. Composer Park Se-joon has done a good job but his background theme is repeated a lot. 

On the whole, Vincenzo is a fine series played by loads of wondrous characters which loses its main essence due to its outstretched narration in the later part. 

I highly recommend this series to the lovers of atypical Korean dramas and also to the admirers of Song Joong-ki and Ok Taec-yeon. 

Happy Watching!!!

Synopsis: (From Wikipedia)

At the end of the first season, the group reached an underground military bunker. 

In this second season, the remaining survivors secure their path to a NATO bunker, where they seek refuge from the deadly rays of the sun. Continuing their quest of survival with the military members in the bunker, they attempt to manage a brewing conflict and find a solution to the diminished supply of resources. But are they all really safe? Only time will tell.

Review:

Into the night is a Belgium apocalyptic science fiction drama based on the polish novel, The old axolotl by Jacek Dukaj.

This season starts off directly from where they left. There are some new characters introduced in the bunker. Our old favorite characters are struggling to adjust with the new people and environment because of the military regulations. 

This season also starts it’s each episode with characters' flashback. That will be helpful for us to understand them more.

All the old main characters Sylvia, Mathieu, Ayaz, Laura have done their acting as usually in a perfect way. We will immediately take their side because of the familiarization. 

The first few episodes are lacking it’s fast pace compared to the previous seasons’ episodes. New characters freak us with their behaviors. 

Director Nabil Ben Yadir and Camille Delamarre have done excellent work. Writer Jason George has written a decent engaging story but it lacks some essence if we compare it with the previous season. 

Background music is good. This season ended with cliffhanger. Ending episode holds so many information which trigger our curiousity for the next season. Some unexpected and totally different story may await us in the next season.

Altogether, 'into the night - season 2' is decent enough to engage us with the story but more importantly induces our curiousity for the next season. 

I highly recommend this series to all the lovers of 'into the night' series and also to apocalypse story lovers. 

Happy Watching!!!
