NOT FOR EVERYONE -- BUT, MY TYPE OF MAFIA DRAMA WHERE THE "RIGHT" VILLAIN WINS
Why did I not watch Vincenzo earlier?! I usually do not write reviews, but I HAD to for one of the best Korean dramas I have EVER seen! I will say if you do not like mafia-related movies or shows, THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! Because Vincenzo Cassano gets down to business... he is with ALL THE SMOKE!
STORY: Vincenzo Cassano is an Italian consigliere who comes to South Korea only to retrieve bars of gold hidden beneath a temple. As he is trying to figure out a way to take the gold without anyone knowing, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory when he assists good-natured lawyers Yoo Chan and his daughter Cha Young in obtaining justice against a corrupt company.
ACTING: It needs to be known that Soong Jong ki is my favorite Korean actor. So, I expected nothing but the best from him and I got above and beyond that in his role as Vincenzo Cassano. It is probably his best and my favorite role by him! Yes... even over Reborn Rich. I love a good mafia man in a show/movie so I am not sure he can top this one, but we shall see! I have never seen Jeon Yeo Been in anything before, but I loved everything she brought to the table. What a hilarious queen! His partnership with Cha Young was so hilarious yet deadly and they have so much chemistry even though this is not really a romance. Also, I love the ragtag family team who always helps + supports him no matter what.
As for my 2PM bias TaecYeon, I had to keep reminding myself I absolutely love him because this charismatic yet psychotic role he played was played TOO brilliantly. He is really a great actor! I will definitely be watching all his dramas. I love when a K-Idol can act. Also, a shoutout to Kwak Dong Yeon's role as Han Seo. I need him to finally play a role where his character is finally happy though!
MUSIC: Is this one of the best OSTs out there? No, but the soundtrack highlighted all the romantic, dramatic and intense parts of this story!
REWATCH: I could honestly re-watch it now. It is that amazing!
OVERALL: I love how this show keeps me on my toes. It can be a thriller or comedy with some romantic aspects. While this does have that comedy tag and believe me it is hilarious, especially with the ragtag team BEWARE of the CRIME tag because when Vincenzo starts his mafia works, it is no joke. So, this show is not for the faint of heart because there are some very INTENSE + DARK moments in this drama. I thought I was watching an American version of blood & gore for a moment. I am not complaining though because of the way justice was served... It was Perfezione! I mean this is a story about how the "right" villain wins!
Is there such a thing as the "right" villain? Who knows? But, I am in my villain era so I ate every single bit of this drama up!
