It was fascinating
It was fascinating. But it really could have been made shorter. It was very long and each episode was 1 hour and 20 minutes. It really had a good sequence. I didn't like that little brother died. He was innocent. Vincenzo was also very indifferent towards her... his romance was really enough and I liked the ending

Keeps one guessing
The male lead is fantastic and the character is so well-executed. The storyline, and the supporting characters -they all shine, whether we see ourselves in the characters or not. It was at times hard to follow all the new situations/plot twists/cunning schemes behind the scenes. That said, there is no doubt that it makes for an interesting watch and a series that stands out in several ways.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
the plot
tbh I really enjoyed this, but after episode 10 it kinda got boring. the only interesting scene after ep 10 was when Vincenzo killed the guy who killed his mother. the story and concept were interesting and fresh and the actors were amazing too, but there’s only so much you can do with a storyline like this. the whole babal plot just felt so pointless. and yes I know that babal was the main plot device but that doesn’t mean that it was necessary to drag it for 20 whole episodes!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Aparentemente um mafioso, que é assaltado assim que chega!
Vincenzo é uma série um pouco peculiar em vários aspetos.Primeiro, nem sempre eu via o Vincenzo como um mafioso, assim que chega na coreia é assaltado e perde os seus bens. E a partir daí começa a sua aventura pela coreia, onde existem ratos mortos de fome. Eu adorei a prestação doa atores, até mesmo os vilões. Mesmo tentando colocar mistério sobre "quem seria" o boss, eu soube de primeira, por vezes aquele que parece um anjo, retira a sua mascara e mostra as suas garras. Eu não achei muito surpreendente.
Os momentos que eu gargalhei foram aliviantes, eu sempre me divertia com todos que viviam no prédio. E mesmo sabendo que Vincenzo é um mafiosos, ninguém tinha medo dele. Alias até mesmo aquelas pessoas tinham um segredo oculto, eu aí me surpreendi e não foi pouco. Eu amei esse momento.
O irmão do vilão, foi sempre a minha amada personagem favorita, ele cresceu com o tempo, mesmo tendo um fim trágico, ele comportou-se lindamente, uma pena que ele sempre teve que viver com medo do irmão, mas no fim eu senti que ele já tinha superado um pouco esse medo.
Uma coisa que me incomodou muitíssimo foi a tentativa de colocar romance, eu gritava porquê, enquanto pulava essas partes. O romance ou tentativa só estragava a série. E nem percebi essas investidas, já que os dois não ficam juntos no fim. E falando no final, ele também não foi lá grande coisa.
Uma nota, que queria deixar. A produção não sabe muito bem onde fica Itália, porque numa das cenas, quando o Vincenzo sobrevoa Itália, aparece Lisboa, mais precisamente onde se encontra o padrão dos descobrimentos. E Lisboa fica em Portugal.
As músicas são boas. E sempre acompanhavam as cenas devidamente. Recomendo para aqueles que gostam de máfia ação e também aqueles que não esperem um grande romance, já que existem tentativas falhas nos capítulos finais.

Here for SJK, but fell for Babo!
The acting of both MLs are on fire! I mean....who would have thought a cute innocent intern turned out to be a psychopath Babo? Are they even the same person? Geez!Not to mention the ruthless mafia lawyer turned a sweet gay prince charming turned a flower boy shaman. Its like watching costume play! haha
This shows the acting skills of both MLs are top tier, its SO good and its what really save the show!
Without them, this show probably wouldn't be as good and enjoyable
Now, these are minor details I feel would have made it 10/10 if its better
1. It could be cut down to 12 episodes or so. The 1st 7 episodes are so thrilling and it just went on draggy and complicated. It really doesn't have to be that fancily complicated, it just becomes a nuisance. Also, too much emphasis on the "finding gold" part that its just irritating. Like, I get it..now, can we find it?
2. The first few episodes are cringey, which I feel what made people dropped. They could improved the style of comedy. Actually, after that few scenes, some of the comedy are really good. Its just that few scenes
3. The lack of sparks between ML and FL. IT's non existence and then they end up kissing? Like, where does this come from? I know the focus isn't on the romance which I am okay, but at least, there gotta be some sparks, so we are excited when they kiss, right? I usually am excited with such scenes but here, Im just like...how and why and wtf?
Also, the show gets darker and darker...not to mention gruel towards the end. Its not for everyone definitely
I'll still recommend this because of the excellent acting. If its not to your liking, you can drop it then.

Bel drama ma mi aspettavo di più!
Mi incuriosiva tanto questo drama con sfondo mafioso al italiana e non sapevo che aspettarmi dopo averne tanto sentito parlare.Si è rivelato più divertente che mafioso anche se di sicuro e un drama diverso,non mancano ammazzamenti di ogni genere e crimini molto cruenti con spargimento di sangue.Il mafioso è un mafioso diciamo quasi buono e questa volta vuole far giustizia con i suoi modi ma comunque farà giustizia.
Una banda di personaggi improbabili e molto curiosi fanno divertire e commuovere.
La coppia protagonista carina ma non mi hanno convinta e soprattutto avrei voluto vedere un po' più di sentimento quasi fino alla fine è una storia piatta.
In compenso i cattivi questa volta sono davvero spietati.
Mi ha divertito sentire Vincenzo Cassano parlare in quel italiano storpiato e poi la storia con il piccione è troppo divertente.
In conclusione bel drama niente di speciale ma divertente e interessante da vedere.

Chef's kiss ?
Someone has replaced Goblin as my top 1 kdrama. Never did I think it would be Song Joong-Ki. Trust me, I'll say it again—I'M NOT A FAN OF HIM, and I just watched his shows this 2024.Okay, this show was recommended by a friend, so I gave it a try. Damn, the first three episodes were so boring, and it felt so long. Who knew episodes with an hour and a half are still a thing??? I even changed the setting to 1.5x to watch it faster. It was wasting too much time. I really considered dropping it, but my gut said this show has potential, so I continued watching.
After episode 4 where Cha-young's father died, little by little, it captured my attention. Fun fact, I really like watching law series. This show got me screaming and nervous at the same time. Too many revelations, and the visuals? Best casting ever. It got me hooked until the last episode. Taecyeon's English-speaking skills are so good ?
I got post kdrama syndrome because of this. After watching it, I felt empty and kept posting TikTok edits of them. I really liked how this show focuses on law, corruption, and exposing Babel rather than making it romantic for Cha-young and Vincenzo. Also, I liked Vincenzo's relationship with the tenants, how gradually their relationship progressed.
P.S. my score really is 10 but I don't remember any ost from it so I gave its music score 1.0 with the overall of 8.

A good story, but not well executed
So we have a Mafia boss from Italy who was adopted from Korea and he drops random phrases in Italian all the time. it's basically the antithesis of Daniel-san's master in Karate Kid.Anyway, the drama is packed with very charismatic characters and very serious topics, but it has a great sense of humor. It's a big achievement from Song Joong Ki and Taecyeon who were the dreamy righteous male lead in many dramas before, Taecyeon is more of the rom-com type while Song Joong Ki had this 007 thing going on in which he's a man on a mission with many action scenes and taking responsibility for a bunch of other men. In here they are just two despicable men trying to one up each other committing crimes and public humiliations. It would be pretty nice, if it had a good conclusion sequence, the ending felt very bland. Also the dynamics with Hong Cha Young who was supposed to be a romantic lead for both of them kinda had to be left aside, which pains me cause she had much more chemistry with Taecyeon's character (but this narrative line had to stay kinda ambiguous on the sidelines, with Vincenzo it felt much more like a fun friendship and they pushed it to be more romantic but it doesn't float my boat.
The characters in Geumgadong are living in my heart and I ADORE their participation in this.
Overall, a good time, but it lacked a good conclusion.
