The Story
An 8 year old Korean boy is taken from his home country and adopted in Italy, where he rises through the mafia ranks to become a consigliere. Years later, he returns to Korea to recover a stash of hidden gold buried under the Geumga Plaza. But his efforts are threatened when Babel Corporation sets their sights on the property, intending to tear down Geumga Plaza and build their own pet project, Babel Tower, on the location. As Vincenzo fights to keep ownership away from Babel Corporation, he forms friendships with the occupants of Geumga Plaza, who also wants to stop Babel from tearing down their building.
Should I Watch
“Vincenzo” follows the common kdrama trend of trying to give fans a multi-genre experience. Complete with crime, dark comedy, political corruption, revenge, and just a touch of romance, it is popular with a whole range of viewers. Unfortunately, for some, this wide range of variety is also it’s downfall, as the story swings suddenly from violent murder to silly humor. If you love your crime dramas intense and realistic, you may find these attempts to lighten the mood irritating. By contrast, if you are put off by too much darkness and violence, “Vincenzo” does get pretty intense at points, especially in the last few episodes. Also, romance takes a back seat to the other genres in this drama, so if you are looking for a full-blown love story, you could be disappointed. But for the majority of fans who aren’t devoted to a single genre or style, there is plenty to enjoy about this drama. “Vincenzo” has an amazing cast with great chemistry, the story is exciting and full of twists and turns, and the idea of adding the mafia into the Korean law and political scene is unique and fascinating. I give “Vincenzo” a 9 out of 10 ramen.
