Netizens 'amazed' to learn 'Vincenzo' was not really shot in Italy; call it 'outstanding'

On March 13, 2021, tvN Drama took to their official Twitter handle and dropped a behind-the-scenes video of the ongoing Korean drama, Vincenzo's episodes. The video shows the contrast between the actual scenes before and after rendering the computer graphics. As the plot of the K-drama is set in Italy, many of its fans had thought that the makers had filmed the show in Italy. However, at the time of the production’s announcement, the COVID-19 pandemic was hitting Europe hard, so the makers decided to film in a similar location and using computer graphics to make it look like real Italy locations.
