Greetings!

This was the first time I went for a recommended movie but even at that, I didn't just let the friends that recommended the movie spoil it for me, so I blinded my eyes to all their writings about the movie.

Vincenzo is among the movies I downloaded earlier this month and last month(November), I finally got to watch it and it's worth the time. Yeah, I don't consider it a waste of time. Am I rating the movie already? Maybe yes because it has the things I love in movies, especially with the comic vibe.

Vincenzo (2021): The plot

The main subject of the movie was how to Bring out the tons of gold hidden underneath Guemga Plaza in Korea which was hidden there by Vincenzo and his friend. The occupants of the plaza didn't know that such a thing was in the building. Vincenzo either didn't want them to know, or he wanted to quietly move the gold but unavoidable circumstances happened that attracted a lot of eyes to the building and in the end, not just the tenants of the building became aware of the gold but everyone in the city and it became challenging to guide and move the gold.

During Vincenzo's stay in Korea looking for ways to move the gold, he got attached to Hong Cha-yeong's father who was later murdered by an opposing law firm after that, Vincenzo joined hands with Hong Cha-yeong to humiliate the law firm and to bring down Babel company with his mafia lawyer tricks.

My opinion:

Like I said, I didn't read any review about the movie and I was expecting as many fight scenes in Kdrama that I'm used to, I mean the kind I love to watch but rather this was more of a talk, tricks, smartness, laughter and very less fighting scene. Even the little fighting scenes, weren't as serious as the fiery ones, it's just one or two that stood. Nevertheless, the storyline with the judiciary and mafia tricks plus the comedy aspect did a good job of covering up the expected fighting scene.

Jeon Yeo-been as Hong Cha-yeong excessively did her actions to the comedy aspect of the movie. Most of the stuff she did with regard to the way she walked, swung her hands and posed her face was off, but I understand because that's what the script said.

Among all the cast, I think the one that appeared most outstanding for me was Kim Yeo-jin as Choi Myeong-hee. I haven't seen any of her movies before now but I think that character fits her well and her strong-mindedness is top-notch.

Vincenzo? I think the fact that he stayed alive or was not arrested at the end was a spoil to the movie unless the movie is supporting such a thing in real life. He did a lot of dirty jobs, I mean he killed a lot of people in Italy which everyone knows but in the end, he was glorified instead.

I enjoyed the movie and I will rate it 7/10

The movie has just one season and it comprised of 20 episodes.
