Let me start off by wiping my tears first...
I'll start from the beginning. We got a very dramatic start from this drama from episode 1. It's been quite some time that I watched a Korean drama which showed little details of every step and every scene like they did in Vincenzo. The mafia storyline was indeed different. I loved it!!!!
I liked the fact that they let Vincenzo's character commit murders. A lot people might think that it isn't right for the male lead to do so and specially the methods Vincenzo uses to get back at all the villains is something not shown in dramas today. However, as Cha Young says, you cannot deal with such monsters with justice. Specially if the government is corrupt. In my opinion, Vincenzo already gave all the evil characters a merciful ending. Handing them over to the police wouldn't have done anything.
I'm glad they didn't make Cha Young's character timid and shy. Just like the male lead, the female lead also had her own charm and her own mafia style ways of dealing with her stuff. She was on par with Vincenzo. For me, it doesn't matter that there wasn't a lot of romance in this drama because Vincenzo and Cha Young's partnership was everything. It's actually good they did not try to add too much romance and spoil the main purpose of the show.
Another good point was that all the characters from the plaza turned out to have hidden talents which made it all even more interesting. Nice too see them drama involving all characters equally.
I do feel as if the ending was a little rushed. From the last few episodes it looked that Mr Lee of the pawnshop would die but they totally turned the tables and killed Han Seo. So unexpected!! I am still shook at this. I know directors always kill these kind of characters in drama to make the audience even more emotional but in my opinion, Han Seo not dying would have been the best choice. Characters like him who have such developments in the drama deserve a happy ending. I feel as if there were too many things going on in the last episode that they didn't give focus to Han Seo's death.
Overall, the drama was very carefully planned out. There were so many parallel scenes as they call it. The court room episode in episode 5 and then the one in episode 19. The hospital scenes of the main leads and many more.
Like I always say, if a drama makes you genuinely cry, then it's a fantastic drama.
