Persevere, people.

I know a lot of people come to this section to evaluate if it's worth it watching based on other's opinions. So I'm gonna give my honest opinion but regardless of that, I think everyone should try to watch at least the first episode, and ideally til the fourth. I'm saying this because I wasn't that excited until episode 4. Also, I'm terrible in giving ratings, so don't trust my grades, just read this. I'll try not to spoil anything.

So let's go.

First, the Story: I'm "relatively" new to the kdrama world, it has been almost a year since I started and even though I've watched over 50 dramas so far, it's mostly from 2016 to 2020, so I haven't watched a lot of classics but based on my experience, this "mafia" related, coming from another country, being essentially and unapologetic on the other side of the law is something new to me. The fact is that Vicenzo is someone who did, does and plans to do illegal things, despite being apparently a good person. I started not that excited because the story didn't caught my attention at first. I guess the whole Babel's Pharmaceuticals issue was not thoroughly explained in the beginning, I had a feeling that they just said "Just know Babel is bad." because the story begins in the middle of the problem, but things became more clear as the story developed (and I got more interested in it). I was surprised by three characters: a death and two revelations. Perhaps I was surprised because as I was not invested, I didn't pay much attention. So even though the first three episodes weren't THAT thrilling, a got really excited in the fourth and I have a really good feeling about it. I know a lot of people are not interested in romance in a drama like this, but I love romance in any kind of drama, so I'm also expecting a good one in this.

Second, the Cast and Acting: starting with Song Joong Ki (Vicenzo), I personally think he is a great actor overall, haven't watch a lot of dramas with him (kind of dropped Descendants of The Sun, though I plan on finishing), but I just finished Arthdal Chronicles, and his acting was amazing in it, so I expected a good job in Vicenzo and I'm not disappointed. I think he's doing an amazing job, even though I guess the writers will make him to be not as ruthless as the first episode led us to believe. I think he's good in portraying emotions, specially in the court flashback scene, we could really see him struggling inside about his mixed emotions; Now on Jun Yeo Bin (Lawyer Hong Cha Young), I not really into those type off exaggerated and loud characters like she is in the beginning, but I do believe she's slowly maturing. I guess she's trying to be someone she's not due something that will later be explained, and has deep unresolved issues to deal with. As I said, I love romance, so I think her personality contrasts with Vicenzo's, therefore I'm expecting a well developed relationship; I guess the whole building squad are there to provide comedy and lightness to the drama, and I always like this type of groups. Extra opinion: I love the Vicenzo and italian Chef interactions and I'm waiting for more.

Third, Music: I didn't really paid attention, so I'm thinking not remarkable? I did notice some italian/opera thing, which I guess fits. Will pay more attention from now on.

Fourth, Rewatch Value: can't say it yet, I'm not really a "rewatch" person, so no opinions on that.

Fifth, Overall: I think it's definitely worth watching, you can ways drop if you don't like it. But I would definitely put in the "worth watching" category. If you trust me and persevere till at least the fourth episode (the best for me so far), I think you won't regret it.

Ps.: I loved the pandemic references, they obviously are not in a pandemic (they just occasionally use masks to hide their faces), but it was mentioned playfully social distancing, quarantine and they checked temperature for a party. I liked that.

Che drama bellissimo!

Vincenzo è un drama spettacolare con una sceneggiatura e un cast fantastici.
È un mix perfetto di molto generi che si amalgamano alla perfezione. La trama è stravagante e divertente, ma anche molto seria quando si parla di crimine, corruzione, vendetta e giustizia. La parte romance è quasi inesistente ma credo che sia giusto per il tipo di storia che si racconta.
Song Joong Ki è perfetto nel ruolo di Vincenzo; il suo personaggio è coerente dall’inizio alla fine e forse è proprio per questo che piace tanto. Bravissima Jeon Yeo Bin che come coprotagonista mi è piaciuta tantissimo. Oh Taec Yeon è stato fenomenale nella sua interpretazione. Ma devo dire che mi sono piaciuti tutti gli attori, ognuno perfetto nella sua parte.
Vi consiglio assolutamente la visione di questo drama e sono sicura che non ne rimarrete delusi.

Damn son!!!

Okay, so I put it on hold while watching this title because after ep 14, me thinking about waiting for 3 more weeks to get the finale made me anxious. I am a binge-watcher so I told my mom that we are halting at ep 14.
After that, my work got a bit tough and I got a bit late, but I really wanted to give a review. So here it is.

ACTING: Do I really need to say anything about the acting? Like really? This is a star stud....1000000/100 for the acting.
SOUND: Mmmhhh chef's kiss.....no words.
PLOT: The plot is so interesting... this whole thing is so new. Honestly, in my life of watching so many kdramas, I have never watched an MC killing off people like it's no biggie. Like it's normal. It would've been so weird if Vin being a mafia didn't kill people.
Also the comedy....a drama without a bit of comedy is just lifeless to me unless we are doing serial-killer stuff.

Also my baby Kwak Dong Yeon, writer-nim waeee??? Also I hated the fact that none of then gave a damn about my baby after he died while saying "Hyung I did well right?". Nobody had a char. dev. like my babe did.

REWATCH VALUE: Well I don't re-watch mystery thrillers (unless it's Signal or Healer or some other) so the rewatch value is less for me. Because all the mystery is gone. I'll again rewatch it when I am in my 30's maybe(currently in my 20's)


Those who are thinking if they should watch this, I have 3 things to say:
1. Yes
2. Oh YES
3. HELL YESSS

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!

Perfeitooo

O melhor de 2021 até agora. Final perfeito e sem pontas soltas.

Eu amei que Vincenzo Cassano é vilão e mafioso do começo ao fim não teve essa de que ele conheceu alguém e virou bonzinho, pra mim foi realista.

A atuação foi nota mil, cada personagem teve uma participação importante e foi bem trabalhado.

A química de todo o elenco foi bem notável e tão bem construída que é quase impossível não criar apego pelos personagens logo nos primeiros episódios.

No geral o fim de cada personagem foi bem coerente com o rumo da história, principalmente a punição dos personagens ruins que na minha opinião foi muito boa, eles receberam o que mereciam.

Vincenzo foi um drama que teve um grande equilíbrio entre humor, ação e drama. Me fez contar os dias pra ver episódios novos (já que acompanhei durante o lançamento)
