Acting that will push you off the chair
The acting throughout the series is brilliant and she alone deserves a very strong 8. Each of the characters is completely convincing and they don't step out of their roles for a second. It's a pleasure to watch such actors.(....)
Song Joong Ki as Vincenzo was insane in every meaning of this word. Before starting this series, I was afraid of this casting because who thought of giving a role to a child-like guy? His cute face contrasts enormously with the character's being and actions but it works.... oh it works!
(....)
Kim Yeo Jin as Choi Myung Hee was on the other hand, a typical evil character that you despise from the very beginning, hate in every single episode and watch the drama just to see her bad end ? Nothing more and nothing less to be said about this character.
(....)
Drama had a very strong cast that brought it to the top, but the script itself wasn't fantastic. The story presented was quite trivial and many minor elements could be predicted. The humorous scenes introduced were very enjoyable and balanced well with the brutal ending.
I totally recommend the drama. Why?! Check my blog for more https://my-asian-dramas.blogspot.com/2022/05/sono-vincenzo.html

AMAZINGG
This is one of the drama that makes you love them through humor, action, and entertainment. The emotions, chemistry and the duo between the two main leads are amazing. The whole team of vincenzo is amazing though, especially as it progresses. Seeing there bond become closer and closer is an amazing.Was this review helpful to you?
A really good crime drama with comedy, great storyline <33(taecyeon s acting was top notch)
First of all I'll start it off with that I LOVED this drama ngl, yeah it might boring a little in between so not binge worthy but the drama blew me away, it absolutely exceeded my expectations, I got so much from the drama when I thought It going to be mid, if your looking for romance in this drama. It is there but it's a side aspect. Bro taecyeon ✨✨ nahh he literally carried the entire show, he looked so hot as a villian, the way he could switch between two completely different personalities was mind blowing. He acting was so good that it made me love him even though he's the villain. If you don't know taecyeon in the behind the scenes was such a cutie and just like a child and all, but as soon as the cameras started rolling he switched to a complete different person.The drama had a great storyline, it was really entertaining, and full of excitement, mystery.
Overall I strongly recommend this drama whether u r a crime or not a crime lover✨<33

Exhilarating!
This has got to be one of the best kdramas ever. The acting, the directing, the music...it has been such an awesome experience. There have been so many highs and lows. Watching Vincenzo go from sorrowful son to cold killer just shows the skillful acting abilities of this actor. As always the ending of ep 17 has left me gasping for air. Of course there are not enough words to describe the supporting cast. Every one has played their role to perfection. Even the music is noteworthy. There are only 3 episodes left and of course we are hoping to see Vincenzo and his crew step off in style. All I can say is wow wow wow….I loved it. It’s a dark comedy so when it was dark it was really dark but I think that is part of the overall appeal. I laughed, I cried , I cringed and got angry. It was likeriding a rollercoaster. Personally I never liked roller coasters but this was one ride I fully enjoyed. Kudos to the ml who I adore and to the entire production team.

Absolutely Solid
I thoroughly enjoyed this show from start to finish! There wasn't a dull moment for me and I was constantly entertained and figuring out what was going to happen next!To put it simply, it's an 8/10 rather than a 10/10 because of 4 things:
-1 = If you didn't want me rooting for, supporting, and defending the Big Villain, then why make him ten times hotter than Vincenzo??? I'm sorry, I spent the entire show hoping he'd win. Vincenzo wasn't even interesting until he went full mafia after his momma died.
-0.5 = The absolutely unnecessary romance between our two MCs -- so forced and a waste of time.
-0.5 = Coulda cut out 80% of the Apartment Residence' stuff and made the show a nice 16 episodes rather than risky 20.
But, like I said I enjoyed the main plot and story beats so much, and thoroughly enjoyed every single episode.

I loved
The "Vincenzo" series surprised me, because initially I found it very violent, but as it progressed I discovered violence with a fun twist. The humor "embedded" in the actions of some actors ended up making the violent scenes fun. A plot very rich in its details and with precise continuity and no holes. It contains several genres such as: action, humor, suspense, crime, mystery, family conflicts, persecution and revenge,... and even "simple" love, but LOVE. An impeccable performance by Song Joong Ki (Vincenzo) a Korean lawyer who works for the Italian mafia and Jeon Yeo Been (Hong Chan-you)...also a lawyer. They form a relentless and enviable duo. A very striking soundtrack. At the end of each episode, there is excitement and anxiety waiting for the next episode. Despite being "in love" with Korean romantic dramas, I was surprised by wanting a 2nd season of VINCENZO. Congratulations to South Korea and everyone involved in the series.Was this review helpful to you?
ONE OF THE BEST KDRAMA
Literally watched this in two days, one of my favs kdrama’s. I would really recommend, the acting, the idea everything was so interesting and I was so invested in it . the end was perfect to, really happy that I watched it and it deserves more fame because definitely a work of art. The acting was great, but as a european at start I found the main female acting really cringe?it was so strange she jumped, screamed and more, like idk later she was okay, ofc Vincenzo was handsome the whole series and carried ( best mafia ever?) again I would definitely recommend, will be rewatching soon myself?Was this review helpful to you?
It's surprisingly easy to bange for the amount of episodes it has.
At first I thought I wouldn't like Vincenzo because it just didn't appeal to me. But after a few episodes, it became very addictive. It has a good plot, the actors play their roles amazingly well and the story behind each character is well thought out.It has the perfect balance of action, comedy and romance.
The balance between the mafia plot and the lawyer plot was perfectly executed.
I also really liked the character development of the main characters.
The side characters were also very entertaining and were actually found to be important in the story.
I think the cinematography was very nicely done.

Esse dorama será o melhor da sua vida!
Meu dorama favorito e vou te falar o porquê:Um dorama clichê e diferente dos iguais! é sobre um mafioso e uma advogada, envolve ação, é engraçado, tem o MELHOR ENREDOO, foge dos cliches dos doramas mas entra nos cliches das fanfics! você vai amar esse dorama e vai ansiar pela 2 temporada (queremos o desenvolvimento dessa casal na ilha e um mini Vincenzo ) é um dorama icônico, chato nos primeiros episódios mas fica PERFEITOOOOOOOOO, amo demais, tudo é bom (os inquilinos,o vincenzo,o carisma da Cha Young, a química do casal e o fato dos atores erem lindo!) minha nota é: 10000000/10000000☆

Super
I’ve watched this movie 3 times, I think it great, all the actors , strong male lead ( handsome and sassy co- lead gal, very pretty)…super, a tad of dirt on the floor… this will happen.Really nice to see the sassy one is accredited with tons of smarts and can deliver… I see so many movies that the female in lead position is either so timid or shown as totally dumb … it’s very refreshing to see a sassy, communicative, heart included in the role . The script dictates, but a rethink may be a positive, just a nice thought. Many thanks to the actors and writers.

The Best Crime-Dark Comedy Drama I've Ever Watched
If Flower of Evil is the best Crime-Romance drama ever, I would like to put Vincenzo in the "best crime-dark comedy drama" category. It deserved to be in the top Korean dramas.Pros:
- Song Joong Ki. Yeah, I know most ppl anticipated this drama because SJK is the main lead. But, I have to admit that he's really good at playing in comedy-dramas.
- The comedy is always on point. It will make you laugh in every episode.
- The twists are so smooth that you can barely notice them and they're always wrapped with comedy.
- It shakes your entire(?) body. It heats your anger up.
- It actually tells about psychopaths without putting it in the drama's main topic so no one realized that this is a psycho-drama.
- The plot is so solid that it satisfies me. No duration-eater crying and romance scenes. I love how romance being the least portion of the drama genre. Many crime/action dramas are overshadowed by romance scenes and it's terribly annoying.
- I don't speak Italian, but the Italian words used in this drama are really ear-blessing ? I would like to learn those words too!
- I usually watch a drama because there's/re my fav actress, but Jeon Yeobin really stole my heart in this drama. I honestly think there's no other actress who could fit the role. She's not cool and badass enough, but I think that is to balance the action and comedy aspects. If her character is the same as SJK's, the comedy won't blend well with the crime-action aspects.
Cons:
- Ep 19 will make you facepalming ?♂️The most common mistake in the action drama, just like what happened in Flower of Evil.
- The anticlimax plot is too short/too fast that I found it unsatisfying.
- The romance scenes in the last episode are unnecessary tbh.

High quality drama with an incredible cast
The plot of this drama is amazing, and so are the score and the action sequences, but the best part of it is most definitely the cast! It has so many supporting characters, yet all of them get their time to shine and somehow have an important role in the main story.Every single scene with the tenants was so wholesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed the villains as well. I was so impressed with Taecyeon's acting in this - after watching "Bring It On, Ghost", I was expecting something simple, with either very few facial expressions or weakly executed ones. But I am confident this role is a massive turning point in his career, as he was PHENOMENAL in it. Naturally, so was Song Joong Ki, but he proved himself long ago.
Vincenzo had several moments that were tough to watch. There are many deaths, a lot of blood and overall cruelty, so I couldn't really binge watch it. I also expected more romance than I got (fair warning: this drama has close to zero romance), but its value isn't in that anyway, so it didn't make a difference to me. My mother and a few friends also watched it, and we all agree it's an excellent drama.
