Vincenzo (2021)
How do they do it?
Another excellent Korea show.
The plot is more violent than what I would usually enjoy watching, but the humor and the love that develops amongst the protagonists makes it still work.
Song Joon Ki is so talented, I'd probably show up to watch him read the dictionary. He had a lot of opportunities to show his range. I also became very invested in the more minor characters, several of whom I had seen in other shows
The vibe I got from this show was Lethal Weapon with Moonlighting and Nick and Nora mixed in.
I'm so glad to hear a second season is planned. Hopefully we'll see all our favorites again!
Gran Hotel (2011)
Love, love loved it!
I'm not one to give top ratings easily, but with Gran Hotel, I couldn't help it!
That's not to say that the series doesn't ever have little things that make you say, "Huh?" It's important to suspend your logical side and just GO with it! Yes, it's odd that clothing changes are done too quickly, characters show up just in the nick of time, people don't realize they're being followed and, does Julio ever actually WORK? Also, the characters are not perfect. Of the main characters (at the hotel,) the only one I can think of that had a spotless character to my view was Alfredo for the Netflix episodes.
The reason I still think this is worth 10 stars is that I have never before been so obsessed and intrigued by a show. There's the cinematography, the gorgeous costumes, top-notch acting, the music, and the humor. I can't stop watching - to the point that when I finally found the final episodes in Spanish - with no subtitles - I watched and enjoyed them without understanding a word!
Gran Hotel is a romantic trip back in time and and to a beautiful location - well worth the "trip!"
