Extremely overhyped

I was ready to drop this drama at ep 9 but the only reason why I finished it is because I wanted to know the reason why it was so hyped up. Even after finishing the drama, I do not understand the hype. The story is not as great as people are making it out to be. It is literally like a typical romcom with action and the only unique thing about this drama are its villains. There are numerous occasions where overacting is done by the people from Geumga plaza and other actors as well. Taecyeon and the actress who played Myunghee acted very well though so I'll give them that. Joongki's acting was good but there's many other actors who could've done a better job portraying Vincenzo and I also expected Joongki's acting to be way better than it actually was. Yes, that's an unpopular opinion but it's the truth. I personally think that Ji Changwook, Kim Soohyun, or Park Seojoon would've done a way better job playing the role of Vincenzo because it would suit them more. Joongki looked too innocent to seem like a mafia member. I could not take this drama seriously because the writers failed very miserably at mixing the comedy and dark theme of the drama. There were many good jokes in this drama but a good amount of the jokes weren't even funny and many comedy scenes seemed unnecessary. The fact that everyone claims that this drama is perfect is very funny to me because I can list multiple plot holes and dumb plot mistakes, which everyone seems to have just ignored simply because they were too focused on the eye candy that this show provided them with. I really wanted to like this drama and I was extremely excited to watch it but it was a big let down. Another thing I disliked was that, although the character is unique, Hanseok's character did not have depth at all. The writers simply labeled him as a "psychopath" and never bothered to give his character more depth. I wanted to know more about the character because he was an interesting character but they didn't do justice to him. Also, Hanseo didn't get justice because he didn't receive a funeral and no one seemed to care much about him after his death. Vincenzo was more worried about Chayoung the entire time and they literally just let Hanseo sacrifice himself without helping him in any way whatsoever. How big of a dumbass does Vincenzo have to be to show up to meet Hanseok without anything to defend himself with? Like he was very well aware of the fact that Hanseok wouldn't hesitate killing someone so he should've thought of something but NOPEEEEE.

At many occasions the story gets repetitive because it's just "oh ok the villains set a trap which Vincenzo is going escape from within two seconds". The episode endings didn't excite me because no matter what trap the villains set for Vincenzo he was out of it within minutes so thats just a way to waste time and mislead people. Also, if Vincenzo is sooooooo smart then why didn't he just set up a hearing device in Wusang because that definitely would've allowed him to figure out Hanseok's identity way earlier. Don't give excuses like "it's not that easy setting up a device in the law firm cuz there's security" because that man and woman from Geumga literally went into the Wusang CEO's office and wrote the letter C using pigs blood. I can go on and on about stuff like that but I would rather not waste my energy. The episodes should have been shorter and the show should've been 16 episodes long rather than 20. One last note, this show romanticized the mafia way too much.

This drama is average in all aspects. I wonder how much everyone would have loved this drama if the cast wasn't good looking.
