If the first 15 minutes of Vincenzo If it were broadcast in GQ magazine, any actor Song Joong-ki wore or drove would instantly come. Song looks impeccably stylish as Vincenzo Cassano, a cold-hearted mob consigliere, while witty camera angles capture his lavish magazine-worthy life in service to the mob.
The arson and murder are everyday business negotiations for Vincenzo, but the sunny Rococo undertones of his life in Italy make that cruelty seem almost forgivable. After all, you have to follow the rules of the world you live in.
“It’s not like we’re in a 90s gangster movie,” says actress Jeon Yeo-bin at one point in the drama’s opening episode.
Stylistically, Vincenzo It might as well be a gangster movie from the 90s, except the consigliere is Korean and comes home to take care of some business for a client. So it’s very much a Korean drama, with central themes of k-dramas of twisted fates, the fight against corruption, and the need for personal redemption.
Arson and murder are just part of Vincenzo’s day job.

Vincenzo returns to Seoul due to an abandoned building bought for a client and is using the building to hide a secret hideout. The tenants of the building do not want to move and are convinced that you are trying to evict them, but the real danger comes from a corrupt company that is trying to buy the building and tear it down. The cruel but wealthy Vincenzo needs the building, so he lines up with the tenants and Hong Yoo-chan, a lawyer with a royal conscience, played by Yoo Jae-myung.
Yoo-chan is a lynchpin in this plot. He also helps a woman who has some relationship with Vincenzo and is the reluctant father of money-thirsty lawyer Hong Cha-young, played by Jeon. Fate twists these characters and that fate can help Vincenzo rethink life’s priorities.
Vincenzo had a long list of enemies when he was in Italy and since he returned to Korea that list has only grown. It will take your exceptional martial arts and legal skills to survive their attempts to kill you, in the style of a gangster movie from the nineties. While he curses Korea during his first days back, coming home may remind him that he was not always a callous consigliere. With a very stylized nod to the gangster genre, this drama offers a unique Korean twist.
