WOW, JUST WOW
okay so, I don't know how to start but I've never written a review for any drama but this drama, Vincenzo is just wow. Like, WOW. I'm not "capping" but this drama is just chef kisses, Michelin 10 star. I swear to god, the story, the acting, the plot, etc. is just wow, it's so good to the point that I find no other drama interesting. Legit.If you're reading this comment, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, watch it. There are no boring parts at all, If you're not a fan of horror or thriller "like me", Vincenzo isn't horrifying, or extreme so, yes. Watch it.
Lmao, this review is kinda dumb but I just want to express how good Vincenzo is lol.

Good plot with great execution/acting..
Vincenzo was very good from the start and ended amazingly. The lead actors had the charm and their presence never faded. An Italian gangster in Korea fighting for rights, the story was unique and well executed.The production was excellent and not to forget, the side characters aptly did their role as well. Although I had a little issue with the Runtime/No. of episodes it had (16 episodes would have been sufficient), it maintained itself till the very end with satisfying result.
I don't write much long reviews, but to summarise, Vincenzo is easily among Top 5 best Drama to have released this year..
My Overall Rating: 8.5/10

vincenzo cassano, i will serve you.
i haven't watched any kdrama for months until i watched vincenzo. i was at first curious why was my mom laughing while watching this, given its mafia-law plot but then as i got to the first episode, i understood now why she found it funny.the comedy balanced out the heavy elements of the drama, considering that it dealt with corruption and LOTS of blood. the geumga-cassano family will always have my heart as they did from the first episode. i love park seokdo and his subordinate's development, went from babel's employees to part of the family. although i will forever laugh at how he was very much afraid of vincenzo in the first episode.
taecyeon. my god ok taecyeon. i've watched him in let's fight ghost before, so him taking on a villain role was a new experience for me and he portrayed it so WELL! the way hanseok's personality changes when he's with chayoung to being the ceo of babel, literally *chef's kiss*. i love how jang hanseok's very unhinged, and he did justice to him.
jang hanseo, my poor baby :( i never paid attention to him because like what the characters in the drama said, he's just stupid with someone backing him up. towards the end of the drama, i felt this sort of fondness toward him, especially when he decided to turn his back on hanseok and start working with vincenzo. his death really devastated me (and my whole family) because he just found himself a brother that takes care of him and then all of a sudden, he's DEAD. i will forever cry at the way he calls vincenzo his 'hyung' and how he copies his moves.
and song joongki, my vincenzo cassano. he's literally perfect for the role LIKE? every time vincenzo shows up with this mafia aura around him, i can't help but swoon over him. he's so SOOOO sexy and the casting director really made a good job casting him as the perfect vincenzo cassano.
all in all, this goes to the list of my favorite kdramas. i never expected to watch a drama with joongki in it but here we are, having brainrot over this drama the moment i finished it. kudos to everyone!

Ummmm.....
This drama, in the first few episodes, was like a crazy good book you couldn't put down. Unlike everyone else in these reviews, I loved the light-heartedness and the slapstick comedy. Parts WERE overdone, but mostly it was funny to me. It kept me on my toes, with the injustices, and never knowing what he's going to do next.The infamous moment in episode 17 where he made THAT choice was also shocking and appalling to me, but my love for the ML was too strong to be mad for too long. I LOVED to hate the villains. The twists and turns might be unappealing to some but not to me.
My biggest qualm with this show is the ending and how inconclusive it was. I was stuck googling if there was a season two because I still had so many questions. and that's why I rated it so low. otherwise the other things, for me, can be overlooked,

Overhyped
Don't let the headline fool you, I am the one who over hypes this drama to anyone I recommend it to. Honestly I have no idea where to even start because I feel like if I explain my thoughts and feelings about this show it'll be a whole ass 3 page essay and I don't think anyone wants to read that. All I can say is that Song Joon Ki is the love of my life because of this drama and I've watched mostly everything he's been in because I saw this drama. Just don't even think about it and watch it, it has everything you'll ever need, crime, law, romance, comedy, found family, an extremely hot and terrifying villain. Ever since I started watching k-dramas I never was the one to really like law and crime dramas but because of Vincenzo I've been on a non-stop watching of those genres and it hasn't been the same. When I tell you this drama changed my life, it CHANGED MY LIFE. See overhyping, just go watch it, and if you don't have Netflix I'll give you my Netflix account... jk jk.. but go watch it on dramacool or watchasian. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.Was this review helpful to you?
A mix of serious action and storytelling with kimchi-slap morning kdramas
This is a really good kdrama. It could've been in my TOP5 but the absurd comedy made it less impressive for me.I am always very forgiving with absurdity in kdramas, and this one was no exception. No way i would've let so many flaws get by in a western production, yet this is the beauty of watching a kdrama. The absurd parts are so absurd that the only thing left to do is laugh, and that's ok.
I liked the ending. At least in the end some "realism" was left and the happy ending is somehow bittersweet if you think of it.
All actors did an excellent job. Every single one of them! Side characters included!
Loved the movie and other kdrama references that were written in the script! Truly hilarious! The "2PM" jokes were also chief's kiss!
I would totally recommend this kdrama to everyone used to asian productions. It's like a really good manga/anime. Half of it it's very realistic and the other half is crack humor that doesn't make much sense but we are here for it anyway.
Just one last thing. "Mademoiselle" is actually french.

The World We Live In
This drama has a great cast who have brought to life a very poignant story line. The director and its production crew should also be commended for portraying this story in such a dynamic manner. There are not many dramas that I would watch again but this is definitely one that I would watch a few more times. Although this is fiction, it does portray some real life aspects such as protection of family and friends, betrayal of those you wouldn't have expected or the comedic side of someone who never seemed to be more than stoic. Well done and wish there could be more of this drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Perfect, outstanding, satisfying, amazing
This is one of the best dramas I've ever watched. You usually have dramas with an obvious differentiation between the good and the bad. Villains in the end would either die or get thrown into the jail. Vincenzo is definitely a drama on a different tier.I personally never believe that a quick death is a punishment to villains. Which is why I've got to say this drama has really hit a different spot. The two worst villains - Myung Hee and Jun Woo - were portrayed perfectly. It is impossible to not hate the two of them because they are just the perfect definition of cocky, spoilt and evil. Thinking they have everything under their control and pretty much nothing in the world can stop them from doing what they want to do. Until Vincenzo comes in and spoil every single one of their plans.
There are some parts which I absolutely love (prepare for spoilers):
1) One of the early episodes where the villains lost to Vincenzo and Jun Woo commented that the reason why they always lose is because Vincenzo is creative and that's what they are lacking. I completely agree! Vincenzo would always surprise the audience with very creative and different ways of handling crisis. Just when you thought he would be toppled down, he bounces back up and strikes back harder.
2) Vincenzo was furious after they killed his mother (which is pure stupid by the way). You would think after so many altercations with Vincenzo you would know not to provoke him unless necessary. That is when Vincenzo declared war and you can really see the shift in the episodes to come. You would honestly think Vincenzo was being nice in the previous episodes in the way he treated them.
3) Vincenzo visited Jun Woo in the prison. He was telling Jun Woo the story behind his nickname - cat that is always full. That pretty much sums up the entire drama, to be honest. The entire time, killing Jun Woo and his minions was so easy but it was just too easy. A cat that is always full will play with the mouse before it decides to eat the mouse. Woah, that scene is hands down my most favourite scene in the entire drama. The satisfaction is just *chef's kiss*
4) The excruciating deaths of Myung Hee and Jun Woo. Omg. Just... omg. I have never seen such a satisfying ending. Myung Hee and Jun Woo definitely deserve every second of their painful deaths. The thought and creativity put into ending their lives, Vincenzo, again, did not disappoint.
5) All the tenants of Geumga Plaza playing Mafia together. There are quite a lot of times when they will gather together but that moment hits me differently. I love how all of them are together, each of them with a different back story, sitting together and just playing a game of Mafia together. The chemistry between the cast is off the charts. I have never really watched a drama where I get attached to every single one of the characters.
There is not one thing which I dislike in this drama and this is how perfect it is. Absolutely amazing 10/10

One word: Satisfaction
First I wanna say sorry if my english is bad, I'm from Portugal so english is not my first language. About Vincenzo: This is the first time that I felt the need to write a review, this drama made me feel so happy that I almost cry at the end just because it ended. It has comedy, it has good fight scenes and badass moments. The story, in my opinion, was amazing, it wasn't something extremely complex, it's the type to just sit and enjoy, and I love it. I'm in favour of each person forming their own opinion while watching, I can see why some might not enjoy Vincenzo as much as I did but if you are considering to watch and are looking for an extra opinion I can only say the you should watch, you might actually have so much fun as I did.Was this review helpful to you?
HONESTLY WATCH THIS DRAMA
I do not know how to begin describing the absolute MARVEL this drama is. The drama follows a complex but easy to follow plot (which I appreciate because some dramas' plots i can never understand at full) and is engaging from episode 1 to episode 20. The characters' development in the storyine is something I'd like to applaud. All of them experience growth and thus many friendships are forged and some relationships rise (cheesy but true!!!) I liked that it involved romance but was not all about it. AHH but when romance was involved it was done GOOD: subtle but firm. HONESTLY go watch this right now do not waste any more time reading my review. This is the only show I've given 5 stars!!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
What.
At first, I wanted to wait until the series was over since I knew this was going to make me have suspense for the past weeks.This drama literally has everything I could ask for.
Now, I am a BIG romance person. I usually dip series whenever there's barely any romance. But with Vincenzo, I just couldn't.
Cha-Young and Vincenzo weren't a big ship for me to be honest. I shipped them but not so much.
Also, THE MUSIC IS EVERYTHING. AND THE VISUAL EFFECTS.
Gosh, from day one I've loved the Visual Effects and Music, made me so interesting!
Jun-woo (or Han-seok) was my FAVORITE VILLAIN! They did everything that I could ask for with his character!
Han-seo became one of my favorite side characters and I was disappointed when he died honestly.
The people at the Plaza were also my favorites as well! I loved all of them to the core.
The drama left me with many questions regardless of the end. I never give dramas with barely any romance a 10 but Vincenzo does the spot! I could defo re watch this! Never regretted the 3 days I watched this
Even if you're a big romance person, please check this out! It hits the spot! I'm defo going to try watching more Crime Dramas later on!
