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.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
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!!!!!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
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!

Loved it but the villain's storyline :(
First of all i know this series is definitely worth watching. I loved it! They did an amazing CGI job and actors were amazing, I even draw fan arts for this drama but story?I guess nowadays using this success formula is popular. Badass and morally grey lead male, totally successful and badass woman lead (at the end match her to the male lead because all female leads need romance right?) and a villain who is totally gonna die at the end of the drama. Why?!!! Let him live. Let him win some real games. He isn't even equal to Vincenzo the whole time. He was introduced us as a psycho killer. Ok, but he could be a killer and a real businessman with some serious ideas. He needs his lawyer to figure things out for himself. He just kills for success. He could be more witty.
And why always pure evil characters die at the end? I'm not saying he should turn into an angel. But killing him is too easy and predictable. And romance between two lead at the end? That kiss! Wrapping things up with happy ending kiss. I was so frustrated TT
Some details i absolutely loved was:
Inzaghi (Pigeon): This detail was marvelous. I know mafia stories need a twisted details like mascots e.g. Sopranos's duck. So pigeon was an amazing idea in my opinion.
CHE CAZZO line: aaaah that scene was so satisfying. Swearing in italian. Perfecto!
That BL episode: perfect match!
Balloon company: just PLEASE HIRE ME!!

SJK at his finest
Mr. Song 'Vincenzo Cassano' Joong Ki at his finest. Vincenzo doesn't take itself too seriously and it knows how to have fun, just what we all need right now, and that's where this hit drama's charm lies. It feels a bit like 'revengey' Suits x sitcom x heist drama. It's about an ex(?) mafia and a ragtag group of neighbors getting themselves unexpectedly involved in a fight for justice.
It's so nice to see Song Joong Ki in a (kinda?) light role again. He get to do a lot of things here, with all those expensive suits, slow mo's and closeups. I still wish he'll do a full blown comedy (like Sungkyunkwan) because he's kind of the straight man with a great comedic supporting cast. Lol I think this show is half a SJK modeling/ad show. (Lord, I want his flawless skin.) I appreciated the fact that he still acts his socks off unlike other hyped actors.
The romance here are basically just crumbs. SJK and Jeon Yeo Been looks good together, she does tend to overact at times, but that's forgivable esp. for comedy, and it's wonderful her career is taking off esp. after Vincenzo. I love that we are getting unapologetic loud heroines like her.
Mild spoilers:
Admittedly I haven't watched Taec for a long time, but he really improved his acting a lot! I wished there was more of him as an adorably bumbling intern. As main villain though, he still lacked that creep factor. It's great they tried a different look for Kim Yeo Jin as Ms. Prosecutor Choi (not very polished), but she also lacked that sinister feel. Maybe it was deliberate casting as the show has to balance the dark with its comic edge.
Kwak Dong Yeon is amazing as always. The whole cast is good, my always fave trope of small town village feel and found family concept because of the colorful Geumga plaza dwellers, and their crazy quest for hidden gold. One thing I hated is the length! I like me some SJK but omg tvn pls cut your drama episodes to 1 hr, it feels extra long and superfluous when bingeing. This probably works better as a weekly watch.

Part Mafia-thriller, part slapstick comedy, with an outlandish plot
It starts off hero-worshipping Song Joong-ki but gets better with every episode. People seem to agree with me on that, and the ratings improved with each release. Jeon Yeo-been plays his formidable partner in crime, sharing great chemistry in spite of very little romance.Both of them are really good actors and Episode 16 is epic when Song Joong-ki puts his soul into it. But 2PM's Ok Taecyeon takes the crown for best actor in this show! The Geumga Plaza crew are a sweet bunch and bring the comedy that is much needed in this dark comedy when people drop like flies.
It's part Mafia-thriller, part slapstick comedy, with a high body count and an outlandish plot. It's dramatic of course, but a bit too dramatic ? That is why I give the story a low score.

The BEST K-drama ever
This is such a FABULOUS K-drama that I have ever seen. Previously, I hadn't watched any drama of Song Joong Ki and Joen Yeo Bin, but this one is SOOOO much exciting to spend your time with. The main leading roles of Vincenzo & Hong Cha Young are quite matching with wonderful chemistry, even though there are not many loving scenes in the show. If both of them can successfully develop their relationship in real life as they grow for each other in the drama, that's perfect and I wish them happiness. Their performance in each scene is really unforgettable and mesmerizing.10/10 for Song Joong Ki and Joen Yeo Bin. (I'm shipping them now)
10/10 for all the Guemga residents. They are the cutest supporting roles, esp. Mr. An who is much lovely and hilarious.
The other antagonists also performed very well in their roles. I really like Jang Jun Woo in those early episodes because he looks childish and lovely. His face looks so kind and nice so he might not fit a lot in Jang Han Soek, not very scary in this role. However, he did try the best to bring out this evil character.
Music: really love "I'm always by your side", and "This is love" whenever both of them are playing in the kissing scenes. The melodies perfectly match with the background where Vincenzo and Cha Young are falling in love, but still embarrassed to confess to each other.
Congratulations to all the actors and actresses, supporting roles, director and screen writing, all the staff working very hard to bring out the best drama. I LOVE you all!!!!!

✨ Lo mejor ✨
No sé ni siquiera por dónde empezar...Un drama execelente, con hermosas escenas, perfectas actuaciones y maravilloso ost. Me encantó que cambia completamente los clichés en los dramas, dónde el "bueno" no es en definitiva bueno, pero lo amas a pesar de todo, dónde la chica no es aquella que hace cambiar al protagonista, sino que, al contrario, lo apoya y lo ayuda en todas sus artimañas "inmorales" desde el principio hasta el fin; la trama lo deja a la total expectativa ya que no se sabe el siguiente movimiento de Vincenzo y su equipo, y el contraataque del bando opuesto. Además le coges cariño a todos y cada uno de los personajes secundarios sin verse forzada la historia, simplemente nadie sabe la vida oculta del vecino :3
Amé todo de este drama.

What a Ride!
It is difficult to put it in the right words. Vincenzo is one of a kind.Vincenzo is the best series I've seen this year. Period. The cast, the story and the OST, everything was just perfecto. It was the best mix out of tension, intrigues, comedy and heart-warming scenes with amazing side characters and overwhelming twists and turns. Vincenzo is indeed a feelgood drama.
I've seen that some people are upset because of the glorification of the mafia, his action and the impossibility of defeating Vincenzo, but keep in mind it is just a fictional series. I personally do not quiet much enjoy action or thriller series and movies, only if they are paired with warmth or justice (can be viewed from different perspectives here...) they are an option for me. Due to the fact that there were that many unexpected turns and Vincenzo really knew how to deal with gangsters, every cliffhanger kept me going straight into the next episode.
To the main leads (all the supporting actors were great, too, and I'm looking forward to their next projects).
I knew both of the before. I've seen Jeon Yeo‑been in BeMelodramatic. Furthermore, I really enjoyed her acting, and she kinda carried the show for me. When I started watching Vincenzo, I was very surprised. She seemed like a completely different person, and I'm still very impressed by her talent.
I know Song Joong‑ki from Descendants of the Sun (DoS) and I'm so glad I do not speak Italian because I'm pretty sure he delivered those Italian lines just like the English lines in DoS. In DoS you really noticed that he didn't know what he was doing, and that he was allowed to do it in such a way surprises me. In general, I only liked him semi in the series, but that could also have been due to the relationship structure. So here it did not bother me, because of my lack of knowledge, which means I can not judge it at all. I liked him a lot in here. He embodied Vincenzo perfectly with his innocent looks and confidence.
Ok Taec‑yeon was the perfect representative of the multiple personalities and played his two roles very well. The magic happens in the eyes like I could almost grab the madness.
My personal highlight was episode 8, but obviously all of them are bangers.
It's about power struggles, friendship, the past and reinvention among most of the characters. In the end of Vincenzo, the relationship of the main leads is not defined, but I can easily say that I have not seen such a healthy relationship in a Drama for a long time. There is no crossing of borders, no invasion of privacy and if somebody told a lie, it was accepted until the person was ready to talk about whatever happened. Nobody needed to change or complement the other, they liked each other as complete individuals. They just liked being around each other and had the same goal.
The music never failed to hype me up. I really loved everything about it, but I'm pretty sure there will not be another season.
BTW since they are calling themselves the Cassanovo Family, aren't they also a part of the mafia XD
