masterpiece
wow.I started watching this show shortly after it aired, but i stopped watching because i was very busy at the time. BIG MISTAKE. I should have completed it all then because this show is definitely worth it.
The acting is on point, the music is perfect and the story couldn't be better.
The chemistry between the maincharacters and the cute moments they have are amazing. The male lead actor was the best choice, he played his villain part very good and it was very convincing. The female lead was also amazing.
My feeling througout this show were very mixed. One moment i was laughing, the next crying and then on the edge of my seat. It's multiple genres in one show, but i love it.
The story and the plot was so good. Every episode had plottwists and betrayals that you didn't expect. Plus the final two episodes were *cheffs kiss*
The only reason i gave the rewatch value a bit less is because this show was so good because of all the plottwists and how you felt when these happened. If i watch it again i know all these twists already which would make it a bit less exciting.
So to end this review, i would just like to say: WATCH IT :)

Such a fun show
I absolutely love this show, the storyline could maybe be a tad better, but otherwise it is pretty perfect for me. I love a good drama with some comedy and this has a good balance between the two. The cast have great chemistry and so far everything has been very enjoyable. The music is one of the best I've heard with a show, music always has such a powerful impact on my enjoyment of a show and this one is incredible, I listen to it while I work too. I love the main cast as well as the support cast. The villain can be a bit cartoony, generally I prefer a villain with some more depth, but it fits the vibe of the show and he is incredible in the role.I've been watching through this show very quickly so I imagine I'll be finished in a few days.

It's a masterpiece worth watching!! ^_^
Instead of showing the stereotypical concept of "angel fighting the evil", I love how diligently the writer constructed a grey personality of the main lead (Vincenzo) and also of the rest of the characters to some extend. Looking at the summary I was very reluctant to watch this drama in the beginning but I must say, watching this drama has been worthy of every single moment! The storyline of this drama has been written, directed and presented so meticulously that it I can't simply emphasis in mere words. The casting, visuals, costumes, dialogues and acting were marvelous and very detail oriented and the OST????? THEY HAD THE BEST OST OF ALL TIME!!! The music were just on spot and it resonated so well with the excitement and emotions that you'll just fall in love with all the OST at the end of the day *_*Honestly speaking, after watching plenty of k-drama, the storyline of this drama felt more inclined towards the concurrent realistic scenario of the world and somewhat a realistic "open end" conclusion as well compared to other dramas. I really enjoyed the strategic counterattacks of each groups (mainly Vincenzo's :P) and the nuanced metaphors and quotes used in their dialogues <3
The comedies would make you burst into laughter every single time, the serious and action scenes would make your adrenaline go wild and the emotional moments would well your eyes :') The story advances wildly from the beginning till the 15th episode and it slows down a little due to excessive plots and twists towards the end but all in all, I am absolutely delighted to watch Vincenzo :) The drama is a complete package and definitely "must-watch" worthy ^_^

Perfection
While I began watching Vincenzo largely because it was something the men in my family may be more apt to enjoy, I soon became the most fervent of viewers in my household. However, my guys were pretty invested in this too.Not only is this drama incredibly well acted, the story is captivating as well. The intricacies of Babel vs. the plaza family and the injustices faced by the Babel workers were interesting and the relationship between the leads was just the cherry on top. I like how the writers/producers weren't afraid to delve into some dark and uncomfortable places as they explored where this story took us. Very clever indeed.
I cannot recommend this drama enough. Bravo...so glad I delved into something different.

this drama is just perfection...
I was hooked to this drama from episode 1, I loved the villain aspect and how the main character isn't perfect how has to kill people because he has no choice. This story is about a man you kills and punishes the worst of worst, those who even the police can't catch, those who are worse than the Mafia. Starring Song Joong Ki you will be able to see how versatile he is – from being the badass lawyer to the cutest foreigner to the coolest lawyer from Italy. Every part of his scene is way too hilarious. Not to mention that his visuals are totally overflowing in this drama! His Italian speaking skills seem to be very attractive, too!Song Joong Ki may be one of the main characters of this series, but let’s not forget about the other main leads and supporting actors. All of the actors in Vincenzo are really performing well in every episode which makes the drama more interesting and more humorous! I can’t clearly remember but I am certain that I laughed countless times while I was watching this drama. I couldn’t even stop being amazed at every part of the scene. Moreover, I totally got hooked on this drama.
Apart from Song Joong Ki, you will definitely love watching some of the familiar actors in this series such as Taecyeon (Jang Joon-Woo), Jeong Yeo-Bin (Hong Cha-Young), Kwak Dong-Yeon (Chairman Jang Han-Seo), Yoo Jae-Myung (Hong Yu-Chan), and many more! Vincenzo has definitely got a lot of great actors portraying their characters so well.
Vincezo is not just your typical love story – a badass guy who falls in love with a good lady. It is more of an action, humorous, and exhilarating drama! Every part of the scene is overwhelming and captivating! One good thing about the drama is its love interest doesn’t seem to drag the story itself. The drama seems to be very natural and it becomes more entertaining as it moves on to the next episode. Obviously, there are a lot of unpredictable scenes in its storyline and there might be more surprising scenes that we must expect from this drama.
The ending of episode 19 made so happy that I waited for episode 20 because the way it left us was just cruel. I mean Hong Cha-Young getting shot?! And things didn't get better when the final episode began, everything just got from terrible to absolutely to sh*t!!! I just have to say how much I loved the character development of Jang Han-Seo , I just love his relationship with Vinzenco and how they are like actual brothers. I cried so much when Han-Seo stood up to his brother and he shot him. When he was saying how thankful he was to Vincenzo who was there for him like nobody in his life ever was, I was balling ??? and when Vincenzo told him how he deserved to be his little brother, my heart shattered ?. Now episode 20, so many things happened, so much action, so much death. I loved how Vincenzo finally put an end to Jun Woo and Choi Myung Hee!!! I hated them so much, but I guess that mean that the actors did an fantastic job pertaining these characters. Also the time jump, 1 year later. I knew that they had to show us a Vincenczo and Cha-Young scene and what we got was just...more than anything I could have hoped for. The KISS was just everything I was so happy ???Also Vincenzo's final monologue was just phenomenal ?

Fabulous
Loved everything about this drama even when it was slow in parts and I knew what was going to happen next. The cast was stellar from the smallest role to the ML and FL. I’m more in love with Song Joon Ki than ever. I thought the last episode was perfect except for the violence which the psychos deserved. Han Seo’s death was so sad but I know where the writer was going with him since several episodes ago. He deserves a leading role...his character development was the best in the drama. I will definitely rewatch.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Il cattivo perfetto (Vincenzo Cassano)
I just loved the show. Some People may not like it because of the ending . But I think those who didn't like it , they didn't understand the meaning. It was supposed to end like this. It's not a romantic drama that can satisfy the mind of romantic weeb . I personally enjoyed the drama very much. How can you not love this drama ! I enjoyed the death of Choi Myung Hee more than Jang Han-Seok. Yes you can say some the parts were unnecessary . But come on that is wy it's drama. The character development and the story build up was really enjoyable. In the end I have to say it will take quite some time to find something like this masterpiece .Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Satisfying revenge. "Villains can deal with villains"
A drama with a "bad guy" protagonist isn't something new, but it's still refreshing to watch than watching a lot of dramas with a typical "moral, righteous, persistent, strong hero". Vincenzo makes it very clear throughout the drama that he doesn't care about virtues or justice.I think all the actors/actresses did a great job in their roles. In the start I did find HCY's (the FL) character a bit unusual. It sometimes did feel cringe at the start. However, it didn't take much time for me to get used to her character and like her. She isn't one of those annoying FL characters. In the end, her weird expressions & gestures didn't even bother me. I personally liked the supporting characters (the people of Geumga Plaza). I know some didn't like them, but I felt without them the drama wouldn't be the same. I do wish the supporting characters had a little bit of more background story added into them. We were given subtle hints about most of them but some of them were unexpected. It would also make sense why they were behaving in a certain way in the present as well if we knew their story in the past.
The same I would say for Vincenzo. I wish his background with the Italian Mafia would be expanded on. It's not really important but it would clear up the minor questions I had about his character. (For example, I thought he had PTSD with those flashbacks in the start, but I turned out to be wrong. Then I took another meaning out of those nightmares.)
As for the writing/story, I'd say there are a few flaws in there. There are some things that I felt logically wouldn't make sense, but I didn't really mind it that much as it wasn't something significant to keep me away from enjoying the drama overall. l did feel towards the end it may have been slightly rushed. I also think that certain actions& decisions by the characters went out of character. But I will say the writer did a great job of not having me bored at all throughout the drama. Some dramas tend to drag out and become boring, but it wasn't the case here. They did a decent job of leaving majority of the episodes in a cliffhanger.
As for the comedy, I didn't really find the drama to be that funny. I did laugh but it was a few times. There were some scenes I understood that it was intended to be funny, but they didn't make me laugh.
This drama did have me question my morality at some times. I was rooting for the ML with his way of taking revenge and thinking the villains deserve what they get. It felt satisfying to watch the villains suffer for the crimes they committed against innocent people. It's the satisfaction that you don't always get in a typical drama with a hero with morals where justice is eventually delivered.
The only reason I decided not to give it a 10, is because I felt it was less impactful. I won't be thinking about this drama for hours/days (even if I was satisfied and enjoyed watching it). I can easily move onto another drama without thinking about this drama and its end. (Plus a little disappointed cause I couldn't really enjoy the comedy aspect)

I love vigilante show
I like this show. Initially, I don’t want to write the review but i read some of the reviews here and I’m gonna defend this show. Well the story is about evil vs evil, so you don’t need to expect the main character to be pure hearted like super hero, even the female lead is also savage. This is what i like about this show. No bullshit. Some people said they are out of character or they are too much in punishing the criminals, I don’t think so. For criminals who bribed the whole government to do evil deeds, they cannot punish them in the normal ways coz justice doesn’t work for them, in fact the whole justice system has been serving their evil deed.While the show is not perfect, it doesn’t deserve a 5 or a 6. The show is really funny, i enjoyed watching it, it’s rare for me to enjoy kdrama show right now, as i am bored with the same formula and tbh i am in my kdrama block right now. So this show is quite surprising that it’s still fresh and funny for a total of 20 episodes. Definitely a keeper!

Not you ordinary mafia show
Sick of reading people’s comments about it is too comical to be a mafia show. that is what’s interesting about it, its not your average mafia show. I read a comment saying that you dont get emotional attachment to vincenzo and you cant tell what is in his mind, that is the whole point! Vincenzo’s character lack emotions and more rationally unemotional, everything is calculated and it gets interesting when he is caught off guard because you tjink did he know its gonna happen or did he expect that to happen kinda as because he doesnt show you much emotion, til... episode 16, thats what it wants you to feel, in the beginning of the series that there are hints that he wants out of the mafia life and always believes that you pay for your sins, he treats his enemies accordingly. People need to understand that the mafia is not just about brutal murders and killings, they have a code they have to follow, only when it is broken that shit happens hence what you see on media’s portrayal of mafia. Now after episode 16 i cant wait how this progresses. Vincenzo’s group has very good chemistry and kinda makes you feel like a little family, it is like he unconsciously made a korean mafia in the plaza! The villains are perfect, the acting is superb, their facial expressions says a lot, i really commend song joong ki how his eyes, little facial movements tries to say a lot and not at the same time as he is meant to portray a unemotional character.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Only a Devil can kill a Monster
A cool Mafia consigliere and a chaotic lawyer team up to take down a huge business cartel run by a vicious and psychotic monster. In the process several secrets are revealed, masks fall off and the true self of many are shown, friends turn into foes and foes into friends.The cast was great and did justice to their characters be it the leads or the bad folks. You really do end up hating their guts till the end. The chemistry between the leads was too good, they didn't need much romantic scenes to show on how much they suited each other.
The story was catchy and engaging with good humor, though there were instances where it felt dragged and unnecessary stuff added to it overall it didn't bore me.
I really liked the soundtrack of the show especially "Adrenaline" and "Always by your side".

Shocking!
A ver, me encantó, pero la verdad es que duré muchísimo para poder terminarlo. Creo que los últimos 7 capítulos son los más interesantes y los que te hacen ver uno tras otro, porque duré mucho tiempo para llegar a esos.Las actuaciones me encantaron, cuando un actor te hace odiar tanto a su personaje es admirable, creo que todos hicieron muy bien su trabajo, se sintió muy real.
La historia es buenísima, peroooo al principio pues todo avanza un poco lento aunque de a poco se va desarrollando toda la historia.
Me encanta el nivel de humor que hay, eso hacía que el drama no se sintiera tan pesado.
Me gustó demasiado, aunque siento que puede ser menos largo.
