What would happen when a Korean-Italian mafia lawyer clashes with an evil conglomerate in his motherland South Korea? With a unique storyline like this, South Korean mafia-themed TV series “Vincenzo” has swept across Asia since its February premiere, while allowing the audience to take a peek at the mysterious life of a mafia family.
Starring Korean actors Song Joong-ki, Ok Taec-yeon and Jeon Yeo-bin, the drama series revolves around mafia lawyer Vincenzo Cassano’s battle with a corrupt company that acts like the mafia. Song has been nominated for the Baeksang Arts Awards for his role as the lawyer. As the show is about to end this weekend, anticipation of the finale has surged.
In addition to the K-dramas, Korean films continue to shine on the world stage, as movie “Minari,” which tells the story of a Korean immigrant family, earned six nominations from the Academy Awards this year. The award ceremony took place in Los Angeles on Monday, Taiwan time.
