Note: if you cannot tolerate an antihero and prefer justice the legal way, this drama and this review aren’t for you. Watch a regular legal drama instead.

I was a little worried before I started watching Vincenzo. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the drama but, I don’t regret watching it. Every second of the drama is entertaining. This drama is a solid 10/10

Vincenzo is a very well planned, written and executed drama with brilliant actors and great cinematography. Some parts of the story are predictable but it doesn’t take away from the drama. In my opinion It’s like a drama that needed a theatrical release, some of the scenes were so intense they’d give you the feels. Vincenzo strikes the right balance between comedy, action, drama and a tad bit romance. All the characters in the drama play and important role in pushing the plot forward. This drama does leave you longing for more but in the actual plot itself there really aren’t any loose ends that call for a season 2. But somehow I’m hoping for a spin-off to address some parts of the story that we’re still curious about.

About the plot itself I’m just gonna say that Vincenzo Cassano is a smart mafia consigliere 🤌🏻and his attacks on the villains are ingenuity. He’s not perfect and does not always outsmart the villains but most of the time he does and this isn’t entirely because he is extremely smart, it might simply be because he has encountered worse villains being in the mafia that the Babo and Wusang lawyers might just feel like a few drops in the ocean. Vincenzo tackles Babel and judicial corruption his own way making him a sympathetic criminal antihero.
What I like the most about this drama is that they didn’t make that age old twist in the drama where Vincenzo suddenly turns out to be an intelligence officer. He was evil and continues to be evil.
SPOILER- ....................neither did he have a very big heart to share the gold with all the plaza tenants just because they helped him as one would’ve expected............

About the actors, before Vincenzo I had only seen Song Joong Ki in A werewolf boy and I knew the guy was talented. He didn’t have a single dialogue in that movie yet his expressions and body language spoke volumes. I think he’s done a good job as Vincenzo. I want to watch more of his dramas. I’ve never seen any projects of Jeon Yeo-Been before but her acting skills are good too and very natural. I also have to add this she’s gorgeous. Ok Taecyeon’s acting skills are on point. He’s one of those idol actors who can really act and does a lot of justice to his roles. Be it innocence, frustration, anger or pain he portrays it perfectly especially with that look in his eyes. All in all I think all the cast members have done a fabulous job the main characters, the villains and the supporting cast.

Also I do like the stopped time and Un diavolo scaccia l′altro instrumental osts, and Adrenaline especially the English version.

Lastly it’s kdrama land don’t put too much thought to into it and bring down the drama just because it may not be the most realistic because most kdramas aren’t. The drama has it’s flaws but it’s imperfectly perfect. I agree this drama may not be for everyone but those whose ideologies align with the concept of the drama are gonna love it. It’s not that frustrating fight against injustice and corruption where there’s so much to lose for 3 quarters of the drama and then one big win. Just sit back and enjoy this one like a refreshing soda. Cheers!
