What To Watch After Vincenzo
-
1. Good Manager
Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
Another Drama by the same writer
Chief Kim/Good Manager - has a ML who used to help manage money for gangs, but ends up working in a big corporation as an accounting manager, with plans to embezzle money from the company. He then finds himself fighting for the employee's rights. Would be suitable for those who enjoyed the humour in Vincenzo, since it is written by the same writer, and also has a ML who is morally grey, and does not do everything by the book - u/ConstructionExact
I do think Good Manager by Park Jae Bum writer is also an AMAZING drama as well!! Same comedic vibes as vincenzo. - u/vincenzoaddict

2. The Fiery Priest
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
Another Drama by the same writer with a similar female lead
The Fiery Priest - is about a priest who tries to investigate the unjust death behind the pastor at his church, but ends up going up against corrupt politicians and big figures. It had a similar style of humour as well, and also a morally grey ML. - u/ConstructionExact
The FL from Fiery Priest is very similar. Although her “redemption” arc is a bit slower than Cha young. To me she is on the same level as Cha young. She’s very charismatic and smart. - u/CtrlAltDelete4
Fiery Priest is similar tone-wise (action with comedy and rogue hero) but there is minimal romance there. - u/zaichii
Fiery Priest - written by the same writer as Vincenzo. The basic layout is the same as Vincenzos but still funny, serious, goofy... All in one. I liked it for its hilarious yet respectful take on catholic priests; a very well done drama in general. - u/imerremi
-
3. It's Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Another Drama with a character similar to Hong Cha Young
the FL from Its okay not to be Okay - she's shown to be a great writer, so extra, very outspoken about what she wants but not dumb at all - u/catandthefiddler
-
4. My Love from the Star
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
Another Drama with a character similar to Hong Cha Young
Cheon Song Yi from My Love from the Star - Cheon Song Yi had similar weird antics like that of Hong Cha Young. A clingy badass character who is sassy and cute but also hilarious. - u/Fatooz
-
5. The Legend of the Blue Sea
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Another Drama with a character similar to Hong Cha Young
Sim Cheong from The Legend of the Blue Sea - Yet another character played by Jun Ji Hyun that has funny antics, is sassy, smart, strong and at the same time knows what she wants and will get it no matter what. - u/Fatooz
-
6. Mr. Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Another Drama with a character similar to Hong Cha Young and unexpected bromance
Go Ae Sin from Mr. Sunshine - She wanted justice for her country and would rather pick up a gun to fight for her country than pick up beautiful ornaments. She was strong, but she never was afraid to rely on someone else when time called for it.
When the drama starts you’d least expect a bromance out of the 3 male leads but as it progresses you’ll fall in love with their unexpected friendship. - u/Fatooz
-
7. Lawless Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Another Dark Action Comedy Law Drama with a similar male lead
Lawless Lawyer has very similar elements to Vincenzo. The ML was raised by gangsters and becomes a lawyer seeking justice/revenge against corrupt officials, teaming up with the FL who is also a lawyer. There are fantastic fight scenes and comical sidekicks, and though there is a bit more romance than in Vincenzo, it still takes a backseat to the fast-paced action. - u/craftsycandymonster
Lawless Lawyer - another legal drama with a main couple at it's centre, but this time dealing with a case that entangles the ML and FL's past. This would be for those who want a more romance-focused piece, as the relationship between the leads developed significantly faster than in Vincenzo - u/ConstructionExact
Lawless Lawyer - comedy is at least funny here and the fights are great as the ml is a real martial artist. The gangster boss villain is great also really looks the part. - u/LaughingGor108
Lawless Lawyer - I Love it, Badass female lawyer, gangster but sincere male lawyer. Good mix of romance, action, comedy, and drama. - u/Magik95
-
8. Mad Dog
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Another Dark Action Comedy with Light Romance
Mad Dog - protagonists are a vigilante investigative crew with great banter, and the romance is just very light flirting. - u/craftsycandymonster
-
9. Memories of the Alhambra
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Another Drama with a Similar Vibe and Strong, Complicated Male Lead like Vincenzo
Memories of the Alhambra had a similar vibe for me- both have a heavy influence from a European country and both have a strong and complicated ML. - u/hahapopcorn
-
10. Hyena
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Another Law drama with similar vibes and witty characters
Hyena - is a legal drama with a main couple at it's centre as well, but it's more focused on big corporations, rather than an evil organisation like in Vincenzo. I enjoyed the unique chemistry between the leads, because their story was rather different from other romance pieces, was also hilarious when it could afford to be - u/ConstructionExact
While watching Vincenzo, I'm reminded of one of my all time favorite dramas Hyena! Very similar vibes, also about lawyers with scheming and witty characters. There aren't any mafia elements, but I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a similar show as Vincenzo! - u/mjxyuu
Hyena - morally grey female layer becoming better person and fighting the powerfull. Amazing performance and IMO best use of OST in any drama. - u/Mathorium
-
11. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
Another Drama With Similar Themes
Healer - There is a corruption going on in the drama where the ML and FL along with the SML and a team of journalists try to bring down the corruption of all the politicians. There is a great slow burn romance as well between the main leads, they have great chemistry. The drama has a good mix of comedy, romance and action along with a crime thriller. - u/Fatooz
-
12. Hot Stove League
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Another Drama With Similar Themes
Hot Stove League - This drama focuses on the corruption within the baseball team “Dreams” where in the ML tries to bring this team from the last spot to at least in the Top 10. As he tries to bring the team to the top he encounters the corruption within the team and the people working behind the stage. In this journey he brings down the corruption and in the process we see different sides to him. A drama that showcases some real characters and makes you want to root for the main trio. - u/Fatooz
Was a great drama from start to finish and ML has the same “cunningness” as Vincenzo. - u/mjxyuu
-
13. While You Were Sleeping
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
Another Drama With Similar Themes
While You Were Sleeping - The main trio can see the future of each other in their dreams and with the help of those the three solve crime cases. The trio is similar to that of the trio in Vincenzo. They're always together and they're all cool and badass fighting the wrong doers together. - u/Fatooz
-
14. Switch: Change the World
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Another Drama With a Similar Dynamic Between the leads and Comedy Heist Style Capers
If you like the fun dynamic between the leads and comedy/con/heist style aspect of Vincenzo, then this is a lighter option with much less bloodshed. Imo it is an underrated gem, it's fun and light. The writing isn't always perfect but it's enjoyable. - u/am_lostintranslation
-
15. 38 Task Force
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Another drama with comedy heist capers and a similarly morally grey approach to righting wrongs
38 Task force ticks quite a few of the same boxes as Vincenzo in terms of themes, comedy and bromance. It's a fun drama about a frustrated government worker who teams up with a group of talented conmen to catch the worst tax evaders in the country. A lot less violent than Vincenzo but had some big budget movie style car chases and nice action scenes along the way - u/sianiam
-
16. My Fellow Citizens!
Korean Drama - 2019, 36 episodes
Another similiarly funny drama that deals with fighting corruption
My Fellow Citizens - Same humorous tone and story about fighting corruption. - u/Firstsnow23
-
17. City Hunter
Korean Drama - 2011, 20 episodes
Another drama with similar themes
City Hunter - It has a corruption going on although the villains aren't as ruthless as the one in Vincenzo. The ML is taking revenge in his own ways and in most cases out smarts the villain just like the ML in Vincenzo. Plus there is a slow burn romance on the side. Some great action and decent acting. - u/Fatooz
-
18. Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Korean Drama - 2010, 20 episodes
If you enjoyed Vincenzo's shaman persona
If you want to see more of Vincenzo's "shaman" character, that was an homage to the character the actor (Song Joong-ki) played in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. He was wonderfully chaotic neutral/good with tons of flair, and the drama itself had lots of fun shenanigans that were entertaining to watch. - u/craftsycandymonster
-
19. Be Melodramatic
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Another Drama starring Jeon Yeo Bin
Be Melodramatic - Jeon Yeo Bin plays the role of a documentary maker. She is badass in this one as well but her character is more subtle than in Vincenzo. The drama is a slice of life, rom com featuring great female friendships. It also is written smartly, has references to some popular dramas and has hilarious PPL. - u/Fatooz
-
20. After My Death
Korean Movie - 2017
A Movie Starring Jeon Yeo Bin
For Jeon Yeo Bin, you guys should really watch her movie After My Death, you will see Yeo Bin's talent and it's so impressive. And the movie is so gripping from start to finish - u/vincenzoaddict
-
21. Arthdal Chronicles Part 1: The Children of Prophecy
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
Another Drama Starring Song Joong Ki
- Song Joong Ki is also in it
- The romance is definitely slow burn but not for the typical reasons and I feel like you'll love that
- Definitely has dark aspects but song joong ki's character Eunseom brings a lot of light heartedness to it that prevents the show from getting too dark
- I was really hesitant to watch it but I definitely regret not watching it sooner so I'm sure you'll feel the same
The worldbuilding, CGI, moral and emotional themes, Character development, setting, and EVERYTHING about this show is JUST PERFECT so I 10/10/10 reccomend. If my explanation doesn't cut it, just watch the first episode and decide because the first episode was so good at worldbuilding that I thought it could only be down hill from there cause there is no way they could top it. I watched it again thanks to my friends, and may I just say that THEY TOPPED IT. THe show just keeps getting better. You won't regret it. - u/ConfidentRead3
-
22. Descendants of the Sun
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Another Drama starring Song Joong Ki
Descendants of the Sun - Song Joong Ki plays the role of a South Korean soldier who is badass but also quirky. He is a patriotic at heart, a bit of a contrast from his character in Vincenzo. He’s cute, charming and lovely, but when it comes to fighting the baddies he is one strong man. The drama is a lighthearted rom-com with decent action. Some wholesome side characters and great chemistry between both the couples. Also features great bromance. - u/Fatooz
-
23. The Innocent Man
Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes
Another Drama Starring Song Joong Ki
The Innocent Man (Nice Guy) starring Song joong ki is another great one. It is more dark, grey area song joong ki. Slightly older Kdrama (2012/13) so it uses some old plot devices but overall was super delightful to watch also for ppl who just want to just see Song JoongKi being a dark hero vs a nice guy in dots. Also it's way more romance and the FL is a rich CEO so it's not like too cliche! I LOVED it and it was a huge hit. I still haven't forgotten it, also its a super nice romance. - u/vincenzoaddict
-
24. The Heirs
Korean Drama - 2013, 20 episodes
Another Drama with Similar unexpected bromance
The Heirs - The 2 male leads will kill each other any moment and they have so much tension in between whenever they’re together but their love hate relationship is one of the highlights of the drama and by the end of the drama you’ll love their bromance. - u/Fatooz
-
25. Goblin
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Another Drama with Similar unexpected bromance
Goblin - The 2 male leads in this one can’t bear each other at all but end up living together and their hilarious fights and bonding is iconic. - u/Fatooz
-
26. Taxi Driver
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
A newly airing drama with similar themes of finding your own justice when the system lets you down
Taxi Driver (2021) is so interesting!! Its about a group of people who get revenge for innocent people when the law doesn’t do them justice. It’s very similar to Vincenzo in that sense. - u/sangtoms
