Vincezo : An emotional review.

I am literally at lost for words to describe how outstanding and breathtaking this drama was.
But I'll tell you one thing first, that I never thought a drama could be so dark and gritty that the suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you hold your breath---and then so genuinely funny and comedic that makes you laugh out loud so much----but then so emotional and hearfelt that it brought tears to your eyes and left you shattered multiple times.
The cast was too,was beyond perfect. Let alone Vincenzo, Hong Cha Young herself blew my mind with her entire role.From being so independent,brave to being so authentic and quirky not giving a single fuck about what others think---it all just screams CONFIDENCE,COMPETENCE and BRILLIANCE....so unapologetically herself,never trying to act cool or be someone she's not---fearless and determined even in grief;I could go on about her forever.She is insanely funny but headstrong,alone but brave and both so quick witted and kindhearted. And her Chemistry with Vincenzo was immaculate to the point of breathtaking---an absolute*chef's kiss*. Also loved how unlike many female leads she didn't end up becoming a a damsel in distress seeing which was so refreshing...rather she fought alongside Vincenzo in their war against injustice and corruptions.Cha young didn't even try to change him rather helped him on the way to stay true to himself. Their little interactions and their mischievous power moves made them the definition of Mafia Soulmates period.
From their friendship to partnership to Cha Young staying by his side despite all his flaws...it melts my heart just to think about it. They didn't need words to express their love and devotion for each other,from the moment Cha young came rushing to the underpass where Vincenzo went alone to fought to when it came to Vincenzo only ever kneeling down so that Han Syeok don't kill her.
They mightn't've fallen head over heels in love at first sight but seeing their gradual friendship and intimacy grow amid the chaos they were going through made it even better.Even their goodbye....God there was not a single tear but the pain they felt in parting with each other was clearly visible in the air between them,from their longing eyes to their p r o m i s e. It was sad but it was hopeful.
And then the tenants of the plaza...Goddd they were soo freaking adorable and all of them literally owns my heart.
And the villains also had their own thing going on that made me sooo intrigued about them despite hating their guts so fiercely.And they end they got,the gritty,violent,poetic death left me shcked and satisfied.
And now, the plot!!! It was beyond my wildest dream that how gripping and thrilling the plot was-how balanced with all and every character in the show-from their unexpected bondings to their unexpected betrayals.

Everything was planned so insanely perfectly with absolutely no detectable plot holes, especially considering the TWISTS and TURNS that had been threaded so intricately into the whole storyline that had me gasping uncountable times.
The production, the cinematography, the locations were all another level of charming.

And finally,Vincezo Cassano----my most favourite anti hero of all time!!!
He is simply incomparable---to put it mildly.And despite Vincezo comitting many sins,I loved they(the writers) didn't give him an unrealistic redemption arc but rather explored his strength, his tactics and his experience to fight ruthlessly Against those who deserved it and fight For those who needed it.
He was complex and cunning but also caring and kind.And he stayed a man of his words until the very end...Little things made Vincenzo even more iconic; from his pet pigeon Inzhangi to him cursing in ltalian whenever he got furious to him playing along with Cha young's craziness to his bromance with Han Syeok goddd it was all so adorable.
All in all it was incredibly entertaining as it was meaningful and heartfelt. All in all a poignant speculation on the classic tale of good vs evil, friendship, family, and justice.
