Damn I liked this and damn I forgot everything

We were going to start the new season of the Night Agent.  Watched the preview and were both like, "I don't remember any of this."  We look back at season 1 and we never finished it 😆

I remember the characters, but not what was happening.

Going to start that and the Recruit S2 as well...

I want to watch season 2, but I can’t remember anything about season 1.  I’m now rewatching season 1 first.  That’s the good thing about getting old, a never ending supply of fresh entertainment 

I'm constantly being reminded by the wife that we have already seen a show but it's like the first time I have ever viewed it.

Have seen all of these and agree that he is a very talented actor. Lot of talent in that age group and sometimes that's the way it goes some years with awards.

 

So, have a rec that I did a search for mentions but came up empty: Vincenzo.

It's a kdrama and you may think I'm giving a thumbs up to a female romance movie on a mostly male message board, but I think it's more of a dark comedy-korean style. We loved it. Watched it with subtitles (*I like getting the original actor voices and emotions) and the male lead (**Song Joong-ki) and female lead (Jeon Yeo-been) have an excellent supporting cast. It's 20 episodes and has been out for awhile but we really enjoyed it for the overall cinematography, the character arc/development,, the comedy (some of which you might have to have had some awareness/viewing history of korea/korean entertainment cause there are a few oblique references). It's not a rom-com by any means and I wish we had Hulu in addition to Netfilx because the screenwriter has another show that preceded Vincenzo called The Fiery Priest that has returned for a short second season and I may have to subscribe just to watch it.

Due to the longer episodes/season, Vincenzo gives the writer time to develop the story and the actors time to nail their characters. It's not perfect but it's better than many of the stateside shows I've seen recently.

 

 

 

 

 

*I know that some films/series from other countries are dubbed even in the home country due to regional dialects etc, but most of the shows from Korea that I've watched seem to not do that and the english dubbing bothers me enough that I prefer subtitles even if the translation could be better.

**Okay, okay he's very very good looking and that didn't hurt my appreciation for this series.

I see a new movie on Netflix came out  

Bogota City of the lost. 
staring main guy from Vincenzo

Been watching Mo. I never knew about it until a few days ago, but it is great. 2 seasons out. I highly recommend, especially for y'all Houston folks. 

Season 2 is the final season. Too bad because it’s entertaining.

I rewatched s1 last week. It’s not a bad rewatch. Worth it
