During a visit to his motherland, a Korean-Italian mafia lawyer gives an unrivalled conglomerate a taste of its own medicine with a side of justice.

 

This drama is absolutely worth watching. It climbed up my top few favourites’ dramas list for sure. It's literally worth sacrificing my studies to binge watch this because it was that good. I didn't watch this initially when it first aired but after a lot of my friends recommended and persuaded me to watch, I finally succumbed to it and watch, and I would say I 100% did not regret watching this!!

 

First of all, ever since descendants of the sun where Song Joong Ki acted as the main lead, I have never watched any dramas related to him, so I forgot how charming he is. He never disappoints, in this drama, he came back 10 times hotter and 10 times cuter than he already is in descendants of the sun. He plays the role of an Italian mafia in this show, and he acted really well. He manages to execute his character so well. He basically slays this character, man, oh my god. His gaze, his actions and everything he does just made me feel so amazed.

 

The scriptwriter did a great job writing the whole plot with a really good plot twist and also different character development. Not only did the main character was portrayed well, but those second lead were all very good like Taecyeon was portrayed as both a good and bad guy very well as well as Dong Yeon!! It surprised me how his character development is the best in the whole drama. Of course, the prosecutors and all as well as those people living in geumga plaza.

 

This drama is also filled with many funny scenes that you could never imagine. Furthermore, I like how there need not be many romantic scenes in this drama to make the romance nice. I used to like romance kdramas a lot but after watching this drama, I understood that they do not have to necessarily keep having kiss scenes or hug scenes that make your heart flutter. They work together and their chemistry just makes their relationship so wholesome.

 

Through this drama, it also made me understand how cute it is to have a bonded group of friends/neighbours who are living together. From them doubting Vincenzo, to them loving him, appreciating his presence, and working together with him. It is heart-warming to see these scenes.

 

SPOILER ALERT!!!

 PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCH THIS DRAMA YET!

You can come back after you have finished watching it

 

Oh my god I can not get over how they hid the gold. I know its not the main point of the show but its so funny like the way they hid it under the temple and trying to take it out with the guillotine file (sorry I don’t know how to spell) but yeah! And then proceeded to hiding it at Hong Cha Young's house where she slept on those gold bars. Hahahhaha!!

 

Lastly, a scene I want to mention is definitely Vincenzo reconciling with his mom!

Even though it was not a very fulfilling scene because his mom did not make it till, he calls him "mom" but the scene where he pushed his mom to the park and finding out that his mom abandoned him to an orphanage at a young age was because of her cancer made me feel very heart aching and heart wrenching. I am glad that he managed to find out that his mom still loved him throughout these years and that she had difficulties that is why she abandoned him. Also, when they took the family portrait together at the photoshoot, Cute!! Hong Cha Young is so smart for making them do that.
