Wow, the idea of the story was interesting, but the plot development and behaviour of the characters was so illogical. Like really really no good, nonsense, wierd and adsurd most of the time:D I won´t go in details to not spoil it for others (and think about those details ever again). In my opinion they could do much better with given oportunities and promising cast. 9 years ago the screenwriting was probably on a different level...as well as OST. I finished this fast because of Song Joong Ki, he was great. I wish I could give this a better review because of his acting, but it is impossible.

Excellent

Vincenzo is one of the best kdrama I´ve ever seen! An excellent cast for both good and bad guys, interesting characters and the whole story with balanced mixture of brutal action, emotions and smart comedy, not oversweetened romance, mostly logical script, sometimes a bit exaggerated but fun, nondistruptive flashbacks, greatly concieved direction and camera, top visuall aspect and overall setting, fitting OST. I appreciate the connection with Italy as I studied italian language for some time. My first rating was 9 but after rewatching I need to increase it to 10 and add it to my all time favorites.
The only thing I would see as a drawback is frequent advertising, but it is reasonable as the production must have been pretty expensive. Also - a tiny spoiler - no Italian, plus such a picky eater, would enjoy an instant coffee XD

I think the story had a lot of potential, I´m usually up for a fantasy, but somehow it seemed wasted, chaotic, superficial, and with many boring long scenes. I liked the cast and hoped for some twists, but it did not get much better even in the second half. I haven´t read the webtoon, it might had explained a lot. The whole drama processing was very manga-like. Cha Eun Woo was my main reason to finish this, thought his charater and his abilities were a bit over the top. As a rating I decided for 7, still I was quite disappointed, and I wonder if the open ending will be of some use in the future.

My opinion about this drama is not clear yet. I started and stayed because of Taecyeon, and I mostly enjoyed his frequent parts. I skipped or speeded up some others, especially from the beginning, as it was not my cup of tea. I thought the conflicts were often too exaggerated, overacted, illogically scripted, soap opera like, showing-family-love-by-constant-screaming-and-butting-in-everyones-business like, but it´s probably given by the genre aiming for all age groups. I believe my granny would enjoy this drama very much :D After about half of the episodes I started to watch more slowly getting fond of more characters and their stories. Still I could not bring myself to follow the lead couple (till the last 15 episodes), twin uncles and a few minor ones... Some topics were interesting, earnest and truly hard to deal with. It was unlucky that many parts which I tought deserved to evolve more just got cut off in the middle by moving to other parts. I see the script as a drawback. Actors did a nice job, kids too. I liked how characters involved through time. The family head mom was really cute and admirable, I loved her relation with Taec and the other family members. All in all, I had a good time watching this long drama despite any reservations.

This was one of my first k-dramas, so I feel a little nostalgic about it. After rewatching, I need to lower my previous rating. I still love Lee Jong Suk´s role in this one, he is so cute. But to be fair, the couple has no chemistry at all except from the one of two siblings. The drama has strong support actors, I just can´t get to like the woman lead. I was more critic to the story too, especially the overflowing rightfullness and way too close and inobjective relations between lawyers and defendants, but it worked for the gradation of the drama and some of the stories were interesting.
