Happy New Year, everyone.
I wrote only one fic for Yuletide, but it’s a long one for me. And it’s my first Vincenzo fic.
Climbing an ice wall (6308 words)
Fandom: 빈센조 | Vincenzo (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jang Han Seo/Jang Joon Woo | Jang Han Seok, Choi Myung Hee & Jang Han Seok
Characters: Jang Han Seo, Jang Joon Woo | Jang Han Seok, Choi Myung Hee
Additional Tags: Unhealthy Relationships, Possessive Behavior, Dark Han Seo, Hybristophilia, Mild Smut, POV Alternating
Summary: Han Seok is back and Han Seo finally gets what he’s always wanted. And Choi Myung Hee tries not to fall down during her ice climbing.
I finished The Fiery Priest. I enjoyed it a lot and it made me fall in love with Kim Nam Gil. But now Vincenzo really looks to me like the result of screenwriter Park Jae Bum thinking “hmm, let’s write The Fiery Priest again, but darker”. :) There are so many similarities.
More with spoilers for both dramas behind the cut.
We have, in both dramas:
A handsome and charismatic male lead with dark past and incredible fighting skills, with whom everybody instantly falls in love with.
A quirky and talented female lead, who at first is on the wrong side, but gradually joins our hero to fight the villains. I said earlier that Choi Myung Hee is basically Park Kyung Sun, just older and more ruthless. But it’s more like Park Jae Bum split Park Kyung Sun into two characters in Vincenzo - Choi Myung Hee is Park Kyung Sun from the first half of The Fiery Priest, and Hong Cha Young is Park Kyung Sun from the second half, after she starts working with Father Kim.
A secret, impenetrable safe in the basement full of money (it’s gold in Vincenzo).
A team of eccentric secondary characters, each of whom have an unexpected talent. In The Fiery Priest a pushover character turns out to be an expert Muay Thai fighter, a sweet older nun was a famous, undefeated gambler, and a kind, young priest was a genius child actor.
There is an older mentor character who dies, which motivates the hero to take revenge on the villains.
And the plot with Father Han is a bit similar to Han Seo’s situation. They both have sweet bonding moments with the male lead (there is even a scene in which Father Han calls Kim Hae Il “Hae Il-hyung” similar to the scene in which Han Seo called Vincenzo “Vin-hyung”), and then later Han Seo is killed and Father Han is viciously beaten, but luckily for Father Han, he is in a less dark drama, so he survives. :)
I’m very glad I finally watched this drama, since there is supposed to be the 2nd season, although I couldn’t find any specific information yet.
And I found out while browsing Youtube for BTS stuff and fanvids that the whole drama is available there for free with English subtitles. The playlist is here.
And I have two recs for fanvids showing what a badass Kim Hae Il is:
Light Em Up
Believer
And because of my new found love for Kim Nam Gil yesterday I watched Memoir of a Murderer, which is available to buy on DVD in Poland – it’s a movie where he plays a psychopathic serial killer. And I started Pandora, also a movie, available on Netflix here, where he is again a good guy trying to save a small Korean town during the serious accident at a nuclear power plant. I enjoyed Memoir of a Murderer a lot, I like when pretty boys play psychopathic serial killers. :) Pandora is a bit boring, but I plan to finish it today.
