Countless deaths, multiple schemes, and many mindgames later, we are finally here in the Vincenzo finale! We ended the previous week with a low-stakes cliffhanger as the show took its time to get to the very intense final couple of episodes. The consistently top-charting k-drama on Netflix has had its highs and lows, but we expect it to end with one big bang — literally and figuratively.

Will Vincenzo be able to take down Babel for good? And what does Jang Han-seok have in mind for the mafia lawyer? Find out all the things that happened in the Vincenzo finale with our review, recap, and real-time reactions! As always, feel free to leave your thoughts about these episodes in the comments below.

Vincenzo Episodes 19 and 20 Review & Recap

“Crazy” is probably the best word to describe whatever I just witnessed. For some reason, the k-drama has been struggling to keep things fresh and entertaining for the past episodes, just like what we saw in the lackluster Episode 18. But they definitely brought out the big guns in the Vincenzo finale (in particular, Episode 20) where we had a good sixty minutes of nonstop action before settling into a soft swan song.

Let’s start with where we ended things last week: with Vincenzo returning to Geumga Plaza to defend Seo Mi-ri and Hong Cha-young from Mr. Kim. In a scene that reminded me so much of Tekken, the tenants were able to physically fend off Mr. Kim and his men. Bye bye, lame-os!

And just to make sure he learns his lesson, Vincenzo leaked some info about Park Seung-jun — the presidential candidate whom Mr. Kim has been working for.

Then in a weird moment, Mr. Kim suddenly joined forces with Team Babel-Wusang, and it looked like we were going to see him be a major player. Thankfully, that didn’t happen because I didn’t personally care for the scenes featuring him. He felt like such an unimportant character who was introduced late to the show so that it would be able to reach its 70-minute running time per episode.

Thankfully, we quickly diverted our attention to something more important: the Babel trial! There was a moment when it was postponed by Han Seung-hyuk, but Vincenzo, ever the quick-minded one, was able to make the court trial happen.

And sure enough, the Babel conglomerate went tumbling down without any shenanigans thanks to some threats sent the prosecutor’s way. Classic Vincenzo!

The people whom Vincenzo exposed in court were arrested, but they were quickly released afterwards thanks to some intervention from Prosecutor Jung. Vincenzo quickly put him in his place by pushing him off a building and onto his death. He had warned the prosecutor not to get in his way after all!

While watching Prosecutor Jung fall to his death was amazing, I didn’t know that there’d be a lot more gratifying deaths waiting for us in the Vincenzo finale. As for the outcome of the trial, I was elated when the Geumga Plaza tenants finally took the victory that they’ve been hoping for since the start of the show. What I am disappointed at is how they didn’t get a lot of screen time in the last two episodes. We didn’t even get to bask in the glory of their winning!

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 18: Review, Recap & Reactions

With all hope lost, Ms. Choi had one last Hail Mary in her pocket that she claimed would “end Vincenzo”. Her plan was to fabricate some evidence that would pin her as the mastermind behind all the crimes Babel have committed. This meant that she would trade places with the increasingly bloodthirsty Jang Han-seok in jail.

The plan went successfully, and sure enough, the insane Han-seok was free without anyone knowing. Babel wasn’t even in his mind anymore; it was just revenge against the mafia lawyer.

The first in his hit list was Cha-young, and the next, his own brother that betrayed him: Han-seo. He abducted the both of them to lure Vincenzo into his place. Unsurprisingly, it worked. To add insult to injury, Han-seok gave his brother the choice of beating Vincenzo with a hockey stick, or getting shot. What a fun choice that was!

Han-seo would finally make his decision in his most character-defining moment, when he chose to protect his adopted hyung over his own blood. He tried to hit Han-seok with the stick, but in classic Han-seo fashion, he failed.

The two brothers got into a huge scuffle while Vincenzo tried to free Cha-young. But not so fast: Han-seok was able to shoot a bullet headed Vincenzo’s way. Unfortunately for him, Cha-young would end up taking the shot.

Han-seok wouldn’t stop there because in perhaps the saddest moment of the Vincenzo finale, he would shoot his brother in the stomach. When he realized that he had no more bullets in his gun — which was pretty stupid given how he only used two bullets, but his revolver could’ve definitely fit in more than that — Han-seok made his escape to who-knows-where.

Our favorite underdog, Jang Han-seo, would die in Vincenzo’s arms with the latter reassuring him that he was deserving of being called his brother. I freakin’ cried! If you’ve been following my Vincenzo episode reviews, then you know just how much I adore the Han-seo character. I think many of us got the feeling that he would wind up dead in the finale, but it was just cruel to watch it unfold.

I guess Babel didn’t really need a new leader like Han-seo; it just needed to die. I’m just happy that he was able to hear that Vincenzo saw him as some sort of brother too, because you just knew that boy had a huge gaping hole in his heart left by Han-seok.

The action didn’t stop there because Vincenzo was on a witch hunt of his own with Han-seo dead and Cha-young injured. He would make his first move by forcing Seung-hyuk to free Ms. Choi in three hours so he could kill her. Being a coward and all that, Seung-hyuk only agreed to do it in exchange for Vincenzo’s promise to spare his life.

But it didn’t matter in the end because Jang Han-seok would end up being the one to kill him. He ordered some men to stab the Chief Prosecutor to death at the steps of the courthouse — in a crowd of camerapeople and interviewers, nonetheless!

Ms. Choi would still continue to be Han-seok’s little lap dog throughout the whole thing, until Vincenzo stopped her at her tracks. He was finally able to catch the fishy little woman!

In what I would rank as the second most gruesome death in the Vincenzo finale, Ms. Choi’s toenails were cut off and then was burned alive. I couldn’t even type anything in my real-time reactions (which you can view below) at this point of the episode because I was just stunned with how brutal that was.

And of course, Vincenzo would save the biggest fish for last. With some help from Han-seo, who had proven himself to be actually smart, the mafia lawyer was able to track down where Han-seok was. The psycho wanted to escape to Mexico, but Vincenzo’s aides were able to locate him in no time. As they fought off Han-seok, Beanie Guy aka Mr. Lee wound up getting stabbed. We learned later on that he was okay though! Whew.

Han-seok was unconscious from the massive beating that he got which only meant DISASTER for him. At this point, all the viewers were probably thinking how Vincenzo could ever top Ms. Choi’s death. Well the answer to that question was the Spear of Atonement: a torture device used by the Russian mafia that involved slowly drilling a person to his death.

And that’s how Han-seok died: tied up to a chair, drill in his lung, while a raven pecked his body.

I was just in amazement watching the series of deaths (and Beanie Guy’s false death) unfold in the Vincenzo finale. Up until Episode 19, I really thought that the Jipuragi Law Firm was already satisfied merely putting the Babel people behind bars. But what we got instead were brutal deaths following one another.

I absolutely love how gory the show brought things despite not showing a lotta blood. And at the back of my mind, I just kept thinking how this was the most violent k-drama I’ve ever seen.

Watching Ms. Choi and Han-seok beg for their lives was nothing short of satisfying after all the heinous things that they’ve done. I loved how Ms. Choi’s death integrated her love of Zumba, but I kinda wish that Cha-young was the one to pull the trigger on her just because she was more of her arch-rival. And the Spear of Atonement? One word: bravo! I would’ve loved to see a little more torture on Han-seok, but I guess the emotional torture was enough.

Killing all these people didn’t come without a price. Vincenzo had to flee the country in under an hour because the police were after him. That was enough time for the Jipuragi Law Firm, Mr. Cho, and Gi-seok to say their goodbyes to him.

And just like that, he was gone.

One year later, we got an interesting glimpse into what Team Vincenzo has been up to: the Cassano family is still a thing as they make sure to destroy (now-presidential candidate) Mr. Kim’s plan of redeveloping Geumga Plaza… again, Mr. Lee and wife Yeon-jin have their baby, Babel Balloon Guy is helping them out with the pawn shop, Mr. Cho is now working under An Gi-seok in the Intelligence Service, and Seo Mi-ri has her gold stored inside one of the pianos in her shop.

Which brings us to where the gold been all the time: as it was revealed in the Vincenzo finale, the Jipuragi Law Firm, Mi-ri, and the monks were able to open the basement door some time ago. They then slowly transferred all the gold in Cha-young’s place, day-by-day so that no one would notice.

As for the feisty lawyer, it was revealed that she had been receiving many postcards from Vincenzo. She received an invitation to an event that celebrated the diplomatic relations between Korea and Italy. And to no one’s surprise, Vincenzo showed up to see her there.

It was during this event that we finally got to see a real kiss between the two lawyers — not one that they had to do because they had to pretend to be a couple in an art gallery. Vincenzo told Cha-young that he bought an island in Malta where they would hopefully stay in with the other tenants.

We ended the k-drama with Vincenzo roaming the streets of Korea. Through a monologue, we learned that he was still the same ol’ Vincenzo: fighting evil, justice be damned.

The latter half of the Vincenzo finale finally gave us some room to breathe. While nothing was going to top the violent deaths earlier, it did its job in wrapping up the show. I still don’t know how I felt about Vincenzo not growing from his experience battling Babel. Everything regarding his character development felt like the opposite of what should’ve happened: instead of other people changing him, he ended up changing the people around him.

Maybe I’m undecided about that because most stories in television follow a protagonist changing their ways, and Vincenzo subverts that completely.

There was a lot to like in the last two episodes of the show because it was so action-packed. But, the number of heart-stopping scenes was also the result of the awkward pacing which the show has been suffering from. The lack of major game-changing events happening in Episodes 17 & 18 made a lot more sense now, because it definitely seemed like the writers had all these awesome moments in the finale planned out after the hiatus, but they didn’t know how to get there.

What we ended up with in Episodes 19 & 20 was an unnecessarily fast-paced chain of events that didn’t give us time to soak in what had happened. The one that comes to mind is how we never really got to enjoy Geumga Plaza tenants getting their building back since we weren’t able to see why the victory mattered so much to them. They didn’t get some sort of closure with Vincenzo after he left Korea.

And Chef Toto didn’t even get an epilogue! If the guy who had a major hard-on for Vincenzo got his closure, why couldn’t he?

Then there was Han-seo’s death which no one seemed to care for besides Vincenzo… who didn’t even feel like he cared a lot about it himself. Even Seung-hyeuk’s death felt like such an afterthought being squeezed in the middle of two major deaths. What I’m saying is, couldn’t they have spaced out their deaths more in the span of twenty episodes?

I also had a lot of trouble with the Mr. Kim character since he was such a waste of space, and his scenes screamed FILLER.

There were also some missed opportunities for captivating storytelling in the last two episodes. I was quite bitter about how they barely said a word about the “Cha-young being uncomfortable about Vincenzo’s violent behavior” storyline that they had been building up to for some time. And why was Ms. Choi so far up Jang Han-seok’s ass? Did she like him romantically?

Then Han-seok told Cha-young that he loved her when he had abducted her; he even had this weird look on his face when he shot her. Was Han-seok in love with her?

But perhaps the biggest opportunity the show missed was the Guillotine File. Throughout the whole show, Team Babel-Wusang never really got the upper hand against Vincenzo, and I thought the Guillotine File was gonna be theirs to swing things in their favor. Unfortunately, the Guillotine File was just used as a crutch every time the Jipuragi Law Firm needed some leverage on their opponent. It was too powerful to be in the hands of the good guys because watching them dominate their enemies with it just became lame.

But before I look like I actually didn’t enjoy the Vincenzo finale, I just wanted to say how well the show was able to rebound from Episode 18. The last two episodes gave us the closure that most of us wanted as we watched the thrilling human chess game being played by Vincenzo and Babel-Wusang come to an end. Ms. Choi in particular, gave quite the fight, but she was no match to the consigliere.

Despite having a lot less comedy than what we’re used to, the finale was a fitting and deliciously satisfying, if not sadistic, conclusion to a show that revolved around ruthlessness and the bloody war you could get into dealing with the mafia.

3. Everyone in Geumga Plaza really be a Tekken fighter.

4. LOL’ing at An Gi-seok, the Vincenzo Fan Club President.

9. So we’re still not discussing the hints about Cha-young being uncomfortable about Vincenzo’s antics?

10. Everyone simping over Vincenzo will never not be hilarious.

11. Park Seung-jun and Mr. Kim are joining Team Babel-Wusang late in the game.

12. Jang Han-seok biting that guy’s ear is the psychopathic insanity we’ve been missing for the past episodes.

13. One thing I will not miss are these Kopiko product placements.

14. “It’s okay to be corrupt when you’re competent” definitely doesn’t apply in the Philippines when everyone is both corrupt and incompetent.

15. Has Jang Han-seo officially outed himself as an ally of Vincenzo’s? Why is he sitting with them?

The Babel Tower trial

16. How long did it take them to rehearse that cross-legged thing, I wonder.

17. So why are their faces blurred?

18. Prosecutor Jung is suddenly being the most annoying person in Team Babel-Wusang.

19. Ms. Choi and Seung-hyuk’s alliance is officially over. It was a good run!

The trial aftermath

20. The Geumga Plaza is finally getting their building back! They deserve this.

21. I love how Han-seo just casually dropped Seung-hyuk that he’s siding with Vincenzo.

22. Jang Han-seok’s tower model was shot down. It really feels like the end of the show, doesn’t it?

23. He’s going to be out for Vincenzo’s blood after this, and I can’t wait.

24. I love how Vincenzo genuinely cares about Han-seo’s well-being.

Ms. Choi’s sacrifice

25. Again, why does Ms. Choi feel such a deep loyalty to Han-seok?

26. Finally, we’re getting to explore Cha-young’s feelings about Vincenzo’s evil pranks… oh it’s over?

27. Wow, Ms. Choi is sacrificing herself for Han-seok. She’s the freakin’ MVP of the evil people!

28. Good riddance, Prosecutor Jung!

29. This sounds like some major foreshadowing that Han-seo will die soon.

Han-seok is back with a vengeance

30. I totally missed Ms. Choi’s dancing.

31. Prayer circle for Han-seo’s life!

32. …And another one for Cha-young. Jesus, what does Han-seok have in mind?

33. Pleeeeaaaase don’t hurt Han-seo.

34. I am loving the direction this episode is going. It’s starting to feel like a horror movie of sorts.

35. I know Han-seok says he likes Cha-young, but now I wish the show built up to it more.

36. Wow, he really made Vincenzo kneel.

37. So either Han-seo is gonna end up killing Vincenzo, or he’s gonna end up killing himself if he doesn’t, huh? What a sad predicament for us Han-seo fans.

38. Cha-young got shot! Good news though: she didn’t get hit in the heart. She’s definitely not yet dead!

Vincenzo Episode 20 Reactions

1. Hard to tell what Han-seok’s thinking after shooting Cha-young.

2. Well folks, we called it. And it breaks my Han-seo stanning heart that he’s the one taking the fall in the Vincenzo finale!

3. LOL. Sucker only got two bullets in his gun! Not so LOL = him getting away.

4. Oh wow, I’m actually crying. This is so freaking sad. I really wanted Han-seo to have a happy ending.

The second death

5. I think this is the first time we’ve actually seen Vincenzo be physically intimate with Cha-young.

6. I really wanted to see Seung-hyuk’s reaction to Han-seo’s death. Why is literally no one mourning his death?

7. I love how Ms. Choi is just annoyed at Vincenzo’s death threat.

8. That Samsung Galaxy placement was the most random product placement ever.

9. Well at least my guess of Han Seung-hyuk dying turned out to be correct! The body count in the past two episodes is now at three.

10. Mr. Cho is finally redeeming himself from his poor decisions throughout the entire k-drama.

Ms. Choi’s time is up

11. You know you done fucked up when you hear Vincenzo’s lighter.

12. Ms. Choi, giiirl, you deserve whatever it is you’re going to get. I do wish it was Cha-young finishing you off though.

13. WTF @ the police suddenly getting involved with this. But now it does make me think that Vincenzo going to jail should be inevitable.

14. Holy foot torture! Vincenzo going dark.

15. Is it bad that I’m enjoying this torture?

16. Body count: 4. What a GLORIOUS death that was from Ms. Choi. I don’t know how Han-seok’s will top that.

Jang Han-seok’s torture

17. No way, he just killed Beanie Guy!!! Everyone is just dying and I’m amazed.

18. Mr. Tak with the punt kick! I adore how Vincenzo just went straight to Beanie Guy instead of going after Han-seok.

19. I’m tearing up again. I wasn’t expecting this amount of deaths. Babel Balloon Guy might just save him though.

20. Nooooo, seeing Vincenzo and Han-seo eat together is just gonna make me cry.

21. That drill is fucking scary, and watching Han-seok beg for his life is muy bien.

22. Imagine how more amazing this torture scene would be if this was an HBO show and we wouldn’t have to censor anything.

23. Wow, Vincenzo is really leaving Korea right now. Things are moving too quickly!

24. Do I feel sorry for Han-seok? Maybe a bit.

One year later

25. Aaaawww, they’re still wearing their Cassano family team uniform.

26. Totally forgot that Oh Gyeong-ja still had that sexual harassment case hanging over her head. I’m glad that Cha-young tied that loose end up quick.

27. Mr. Cho working for Gi-seok seems right since they’re like two of biggest Vincenzo’s fanboys.

28. Are these two.. together? And OF COURSE NOT, because Beanie Guy is alive!

29. Shouldn’t you be storing your gold elsewhere, Seo Mi-ri?

30. Monk just kinda justified Vincenzo’s violent means. Weird.

Vincenzo, the ending

31. So Cha-young is totally going to meet up with Vincenzo in this Korean-Italian diplomatic relations event thing.

32. Finally… THE KISS! And I’m loving this choice of music.

33. I see we only have a minutes left, and I kinda wish we had some scenes with Vincenzo and the tenants.

34. Didn’t expect Vincenzo to still go after evil people in a “justiceless” way. Hmmm… I don’t know how to feel about that yet.

Vincenzo Episode 18 Review & Recap

How is it possible that so many things happened, but so little at the same time? It’s kind of hard to recap everything that happened in this episode, but let’s start with Han-seo shooting Vincenzo in the heart. As everyone had expected, he wasn’t actually dead.

In fact, my worries of Jang Han-seo being a baddie all along were put to rest almost immediately when it was revealed that he had planned the whole thing with Vincenzo. It was actually the first step in a plan to get rid of Interpol, who had come after Vincenzo because of Han Seung-hyeuk. The mafia lawyer had been wearing protective gear under his uniform all along so the gunshot did not do any harm.

He told Interpol that the whole thing was a set-up from his Italian rival, Paolo, and he immediately sent them a list of vital information to send them away from him. And to avoid any suspicion from Team Babel-Wusang, Han-seo even asked for Vincenzo to shoot him in the arm.

You all know I’ve been #TeamHanSeo since he teamed up with the Jipuragi Law Firm so you know I was ecstatic that his betrayal was just a mere illusion. There was also a cute little scene where Han-seo revealed that he actually saw Vincenzo as a brother. While it did sorta come out of left field, we shouldn’t be too surprised. When you have a brother who’s as psychotic as Han-seok, you’ll naturally gravitate to someone who shows you the tiniest bit of kindness.

I guess I am feeling some disappointment because the cliffhangers of the show often turn out to be such a bust. But somehow, Vincenzo episode 18 managed to out-disappoint me in that regard.

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 17: Review, Recap & Reactions

We are officially witnessing the downfall of Babel. The Jipuragi Law Firm has put the company on notice (again) by taking their case to court. It seems like this is the real beginning of the end though, because our favorite team of lawyers have some major stuff to back up their claims.

But Vincenzo wouldn’t dare to call himself a member of the mafia without having some fun at his enemy’s expense. After instructing his lackeys to scare off Jang Han-seok, Vincenzo continued to put him down for good by placing him behind bars. The craziest part about the whole thing was how he made Ms. Choi and Han-seok believe that it was their plan to have that happen.

They didn’t know it, but Vincenzo threatened now-Chief Prosecutor Han Seung-hyeuk to make sure that the arrest would happen. In a Team Babel-Wusang meeting, Seung-hyeuk suggested that Han-seok be arrested so that he would be “protected” from Vincenzo. They thought it was a good idea because there was no way he was going to get killed in jail.

Vincenzo would later reveal the truth to Inmate Han-seok who looked especially good in an orange suit. And to add insult to injury, Han-seo was the one who put his brother in handcuffs.

I honestly don’t know what to make of this. Jang Han-seok, who’s the Big Bad of the show, has been doing such a terrible job of being a genuine villain so far. Ms. Choi has done more things than he has in Vincenzo episode 18 alone!

The show has made him look weak too many times already, and I’m not sure there is enough time to make us feel like he has an actual chance against Vincenzo. He gave Ms. Choi the order to get him out of that cell before Babel completely gets destroyed, so I’m hoping he raises some major hell afterwards.

Then Vincenzo episode 18 starts to get confusing and messy when our favorite Italian friend Luca visited the consigliere. He came to tell Vincenzo that the Luciano family was under attack and that his presence was needed back in Italy. So with that, he immediately packed up his bags to fly out the next day.

Then in the very definition of “filler”, we got to see some characters get melodrama-sad as they said their farewell to Vincenzo. Did I mention that he was planning to come back after two weeks?

The goodbye scenes he had with the tenants and Cha-young would’ve been great and all if it wasn’t for what happened next.

Let’s rewind a bit. Even though the Guillotine File has been in the hands of Jipuragi for some time now, the gold and Guillotine File drama is still not yet over. Mr. Kim, who is the secretary of presidential candidate Park Seung-jun and is now suddenly a threat to our protagonists, has been on a mission to find the Guillotine File hidden in the Geumga Plaza basement.

He sent his men to attack Mr. Cho, who was able to trace the person who could open the basement door: Seo Mi-ri.

He couldn’t have just pretended that it was another person?! Mr. Cho, you’re the literal worst.

Mr. Kim and his men went after Mi-ri who was able to open the door for them. There’s one twist to this story though: the basement was empty! After this revelation, the men chased Mi-r- down the building where Cha-young tried to come to her rescue. The feisty lawyer was no match for the men though.

But before anyone could place a finger on her, someone came to their rescue. It was Vincenzo!

That is where we left things off in Vincenzo episode 18, and my only reaction is: huh? What was the point of all the prolonged mopey scenes about Vincenzo leaving if he was going to come back before the episode even ended? I just don’t see the point of spending that amount of time for filler, especially when we’re this late in the show.

Not only that, but the cliffhanger was weak because there were no stakes! I don’t know why we’re still treating the Guillotine File as a big deal for villains to find because Vincenzo has had it this entire time. Babel is already going down because of it so I don’t see why we should worry about other people looking for it.

Overall, I think I let my expectations get the best of me. I wanted Vincenzo episode 18 to set-up the last two episodes of the show well for the Big Bad showdown, but we ended it with the pointless Italy return affair that didn’t amount to much. I wish they did something to make us feel that Vincenzo’s plan will not go down smoothly. Instead, we got Han-seok behind bars without much hope to grasp on to.

Also, there was no follow-up to Cha-young getting uneasy about Vincenzo’s killing spree from the previous episode.

I sincerely hope this is not the end for Babel and Wusang. Let’s hope they’ll be able to swing things in their favor in episode 19!

Favorite Moments in Vincenzo Episode 18

I realize that these are all moments related to Jang Han-seo, but there just weren’t many iconic moments in this episode. He is a pretty iconic character though.

1. Han-seo sees Vincenzo as his hyung

2. Han-seo arrests his brother

3. Han-seo shoots Vincenzo in the arm

Vincenzo Episode 18 Reactions

1. And just like that, Vincenzo rises from being shot to nobody’s surprise!

2. Now I’m confused how Vincenzo was able to tie up all those Interpol people.

3. Han-seo totally deserved that shot to the arm.

4. I’m confused. If Jang Han-seo was the one who leaked the Interpol info to Vincenzo, then why did he shoot him? Then that means…

5. Yes! Han-seo is still part of Team Vincenzo. I manifested this!!!

6. I kind of ship Vincenzo and Han-seo together?

7. I love how all the Geumga Plaza tenants just want to have Vincenzo’s approval.

Threats, threats & more threats

8. This is a great throwback to the first court case these two had against Babel.

9. I bet these monks are up to something. Very sus.

10. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed interactions between Ms. Choi and Cha-young.

11. Is this the first time that Vincenzo and Seung-hyeuk actually interacted?

12. Vincenzo has not been playing around since they killed his mother. He’s just shooting people everywhere.

13. Mr. Cho is finally getting an interesting storyline!

14. Jang Han-seok has just looked lamer and lamer by the episode. And now he’s worse off with his limp and ear bandage.

Han-seok goes to jail

15. Han-seok has to go to jail for this plan against Vincenzo? Now we’re talking!

16. Damn, Han-seo putting the handcuffs on Han-seok would’ve been such an epic moment if it wasn’t all part of a scheme.

17. I don’t get why Seung-hyeuk is still scared of Han-seok even if he’s literally more powerful than him now.

18. Yikes. I take back what I said about shipping Han-seo and Vincenzo together after he said he seems him as a brother.

19. I wanna call Vincenzo hyung, too!

20. Checkmate! You’re going down along with Babel, Jang Han-seok.

21. Why is Seung-hyeuk still looking out for Han-seok’s best interest?

Vincenzo leaves for Italy…

22. Guess Luca’s here to set-up the final conflict of the show: will Vincenzo stay in Korea, or leave to go to Italy?

23. Mr. Cho has betrayed us once again. God, he is seriously the worst supporting character ever.

24. It’s been sooo long since we’ve had a good Vincenzo and Cha-young scene.

25. So Vincenzo is leaving just like that?

26. It’s just two weeks, guys. Let’s not get overdramatic.

27. So we’re not gonna talk about your unresolved feelings regarding Vincenzo’s murder streak, Cha-young? Okaaaay.

28. She really learned an Italian phrase for Vincenzo. Adorable!

… or not

29. For a second there, I thought the monks betrayed Seo Mi-ri.

30. I wish I had proof, but I totally saw it coming that the gold isn’t actually there.

31. Well that Italy trip was quick!

Vincenzo Episode 17 Review & Recap

It’s exciting to be back after the k-drama’s mini-break temporarily halted its momentum. While nothing was going to top the insanity of the previous cliffhanger, Vincenzo episode 17 gave us a worthy follow-up to the not-so-shocking death of Oh Gyeong-ja.

There’s one word to perfectly encapsulate it all: revenge. It only took a short amount of grieving and Baeksang Awards-worthy tears before Vincenzo got back on his two feet to do what he does best. We left things last week with Vincenzo pointing a gun at the unsuspecting Babel-Wusang team after he found out that his mother was murdered. But since the show has one more week ’til the finale, everyone knew he wasn’t actually going to commit mass murder right there and then.

Instead, he promised that they were in for a world of humiliation before they die, which also doubled as an invitation for a “chess game” between them and Team Jipuragi.

And just to make sure they get his message, Vincenzo shot Han-seok in the ear.

So first up in Vincenzo’s revenge plan was to stop all the investments for Babel Tower from happening. A man wearing explosives crashed the investors’ party, and threatened to blow up the place if they didn’t comply with his demands. But this wasn’t just any man — he was one of the two people responsible for the death of Hong Yu-chan, who ended up becoming Vincenzo’s lackey.

Since Team Babel-Wusang knew that it was probably another scheme, they doubted that the bomb was actually real. So the man challenged them by saying that he was gonna make the cake explode to show them that he meant business.

Sure enough, after he had counted down to five, he was the one who exploded.

It was actually Vincenzo who pushed the deadly bomb-denotating button on the man, which made Cha-young feel quite uncomfortable. This stunt put every investor in a panicked state, so they flushed their agreements with Babel down the toilet… or shoved them down their throats to be more accurate.

And of course, Vincenzo wasn’t able to do the whole thing himself. The Geumga Plaza tenants came together in support of him after they learned that his mother died, and proclaimed themselves as the Cassano Family. How cute is that?! They even got matching mafia outfits.

I really felt the same way that Cha-young did watching this whole revenge scheme play out. We were so used to Vincenzo’s plan being so wacky and hilarious, so this one just felt different. Like uncomfortable different. It’s probably because someone was murdered in cold blood, and the sight of people eating paper was quite degrading to watch.

I get that the man killed Yu-chan, but knowing that we’re still supposed to root for Vincenzo is kind of tough to do after doing that. But sure, I’m gonna give him a pass since his mother just died, and it was a fascinating scheme to watch. What I’m more interested in are the increasingly obvious signs that Cha-young is not fully on-board with Vincenzo’s violent behavior.

To be honest, I’m surprised with how the Geumga Plaza tenants are all still drinking his Kool-Aid after he just killed that damn man!

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 16: Review, Recap & Reactions

You know who’s not drinking Vincenzo’s Kool-Aid though? Jang Han-seo!

He had quite the showcase in the second half of Vincenzo episode 17 when he came after the mafia consigliere hard. Han-seo was actually revealed to be Team Jipuragi’s insider about the investors’ party who helped them carry out their revenge scheme. But the dumb little Babel brother isn’t so dumb after all…

He and Han Seung-hyeuk have been carrying out a plot of their own. The latter met up with presidential candidate Park Seung-jun to reveal the location of the Guillotine File. This information, as well as Seung-hyeuk’s promise to help him out, was enough to force a major shake-up to happen within the ranks of Babel.

Park Seung-jun’s secretary, Mr. Kim, met up with Team Babel-Wusang to tell them how things are going to be from now on: first, Seung-hyeuk would be the Chief Prosecutor of Namdongbu. He also recommended that Jang Han-seo be the chairman of Babel… which is basically an order and not a suggestion.

I honestly don’t get why Park Seung-jun had such a big say on who would be the chairman of Babel. I’m guessing it’s because Han-seok has actually been a crappy leader, and a change in leadership was needed to satisfy business partners? If I got this part wrong, kindly fill me in the comments below!

But as Han Seung-hyeuk toasted his victory alongside Han-seo, he revealed yet another win under his belt: he was able to find a crime that Vincenzo was guilty for. This meant that the mafia lawyer would be arrested within 24 hours by Interpol. The most shocking thing about all this was Han-seo actually laughed and smiled at the news which meant that his temporary alliance with Vincenzo was no more than that. The betrayal!

The next day, Jang Han-seo called Vincenzo to meet him in the hockey rink where they had been conducting their secret meetings. It was a trap all along; Han-seo was actually planning to shoot him. But before anything could happen, the policemen from Interpol invaded the hockey rink.

And in an even more shocking turn of events, Han-seo did end up shooting him in the heart… or shoulder. You get the point. And that my friends, is where we ended Vincenzo episode 17.

I’m still not over Jang Han-seo’s betrayal. There is a small, very miniscule ounce of hope that I’m clinging onto that he actually planned the whole confrontation with Vincenzo. I mean obviously, the protagonist of our show is not dead.

So which one are y’all betting on: that (a) Han-seo conspiring with Vincenzo to fake his death, (b) Vincenzo is wearing something bulletproof and the blood is just a “special effect”, or (c) Vincenzo was actually shot and is going to recover in a hospital?

But even with how much hurt the betrayal caused me, I guess I’m kind of proud of Seung-hyeuk and Han-seo (whom I affectionally call Team Phoenix) for actually pulling this off? They were pretty much the underdogs of the whole chess game, and they managed to outsmart the other people in Team Babel-Wusang and Team Jipuragi.

Let’s just hope they don’t end up dead in a ditch somewhere. We all know Ms. Choi and Han-seok’s MO.

I just can’t accept that Han-seo, the sympathetic guy whom I’ve been rooting for the past weeks, would actually show his true colors in Vincenzo episode 17.

I’m not too worried about the whole Interpol/Vincenzo-getting-arrested thing, though. It was revealed that An Gi-seok’s boss, Tae Jong-gu, has been working alongside Team Jipuragi to get some inside info from Jang Han-seok. Jong-gu has also been instrumental in influencing important people to steer clear of Vincenzo’s way for some time now.

So I feel like that connection will serve as the key to Vincenzo escaping arrest.

Overall, Vincenzo episode 17 was a nice way to let off some steam after the death of Oh Gyeong-ja. If you like watching evil rich powerful people get their comeuppance, then the violent scheme-of-the-week would be enough to satiate your desire. Like I said earlier, the episode really doubled-down on revenge.

And then it slowly shifted to the game of power being played by our characters, with unexpected victors coming out on top. Who doesn’t love a good ol’ Cinderella story?

I’m gonna admit, the break from last week did cut off my excitement from the show a bit, but this episode did its job in bringing me back to the world of gray morals and delicious power struggles. Now I’m excited for some major conflict between Cha-young and Vincenzo!

Vincenzo Episode 17 Reactions

1. WOW. It’s been so long, I completely forgot what the hell was going on in this show. I am READY though.

2. Of course he doesn’t shoot them! What’s the fun in that? I love them cowering in fear from Vincenzo though.

3. Exactly. Killing the mother is foolish because you just awakened the freakin’ BEAST.

4. I never realized how flawless Jang Han-seok’s skin looks.

5. So Vincenzo doesn’t get arrested for assaulting a police officer? Cool.

6. DAAAAMN! A shot to the ear is a good one. I’m ready for Han-seok to look like a real badass villain when he wraps that up with bandage.

Vincenzo mourns his mother’s death

7. Awww. Poor Vincenzo only getting to call her Mom when she’s already dead.

8. Seeing these fish breads (forgot what they’re called) sucks.

9. Song Joong-ki letting us know in this scene that he deserves that Baeksang Arts nomination!

10. Posthumous letters always tug at the heartstrings, man.

Vincenzo mourns his mother’s death

11. It hasn’t even been one minute since his ear got stitched, and Han-seok already slapped his brother in the face.

12. The audacity of Han-seok to get angry at Vincenzo after he and Ms. Choi planned the death of his mother.

13. I almost cried at the letter, but the solidarity that the Geumga Plaza tenants is showing Vincenzo is making my eyes wet.

14. Okay, now Han-seok just looks silly with that ear bandage on.

Vincenzo’s first chess move

15. The Cassano Family team uniform is a SERVE.

16. I love how Team Babel-Wusang has never memorized the faces of the Geumga Plaza tenants even if they’ve helped Vincenzo many times.

17. I guess we’re getting our weekly Vincenzo prank early in the episode!

18. Who is this man?!

19. A bomb in the cake is classic!

20. No fucking way! Vincenzo just killed that man. I did NOT see that coming.

21. I told you all. Cha-young has been getting uncomfortable with Vincenzo’s violent behavior! The drama~

22. I’m just so not used to the protagonist having such questionable character (and everyone being okay with it)… much more in a k-drama!

23. Eat the rich? More like make the rich eat, amirite?!

24. “I’ll handle the second party” is code for “let’s do things in a non-violent way”.

Han-seo and Seung-hyeuk rise to the top

25. So Jang Han-seo helped out Vincenzo with the latest scheme. Very interesting… just like how Han-seo looks with these bangs.

26. Is Han-seo gay for Vincenzo? I don’t mind it!

27. This is a cool shot. At the beginning of the show, I thought Vincenzo would be the ones influenced by the Geumga Plaza tenants. I never thought it would be the other way around! Look at our mini-mafia.

28. I don’t trust this showcase of brotherly affection. It’s a trap, Han-seo.

29. An Gi-seok’s boss is a hoot.

30. Wow, Han-seo just outsmarted everyone to be the Chairman of Babel! And the Guy with Glasses is now Chief Prosecutor.

31. I love this presidential candidate’s assistant. He brings good news!

32. Oh damn, Han-seo and Seung-hyeuk are NOT Team Vincenzo after all. I feel so betrayed!

33. My heart is racing. Is Han-seo betraying Vincenzo? Is he helping him? If it’s the betrayal, I’m gonna be heartbroken.

34. Okay, so it’s a Betrayal with a capital B! This is SO sad. I was rooting for you, Han-seo.

35. Han-seo shot… AGAIN. What a trigger-happy man he is. Meh, Vincenzo’s obviously not yet dead though.

Vincenzo Episode 16 Review & Recap

Can we say best episode ever? There was no shortage of heartwarming and heartbreaking moments in Vincenzo episode 16. It didn’t miss a beat at all!

The only boring part throughout the entire 70 minutes actually came in the opening sequence. As I said in the previous recap, I’ve learned not to sweat the cliffhangers that end every episode anymore because they get resolved pretty quickly and don’t amount to much in the long run.

This pattern of useless cliffhangers continued when Vincenzo instantly tracked down the people who actually killed Daechang Daily chairman, Oh Jeong-bae, and turn them in.

The only nice thing that came from it was how Mr. Tak and Park Seok-do (aka Babel Balloon Guy) helped him out! Vincenzo relying on them for this mission was just one way he has shown how much he has become attached to the Geumga Plaza tenants.

We’ve come so far! As Mr. Tak said, he really is a Korean because he cares a lot about other people deep down.

We totally glossed over this fact previously, but there are some good news to celebrate: the pawn shop owners of Geumga Plaza are expecting a baby! Everyone was expecting Vincenzo to decline their invite to a celebratory dinner, but he shocked them all when he said he wanted to go. We love wholesome moments!

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 15: Review, Recap & Reactions

Unfortunately, this dinner would be cut short when Jang Han-seok planned a gas leak to destroy the entire building. He knew that the gold bars and Guillotine File were in there, and if he didn’t have them, then no one can.

A woman pretending to be a safety officer was hired by Han-seo to cut the gas pipe. But the plan quickly turned south when fire trucks had come to the rescue even before anything exploded! Now the question is: who in the blue hell tipped off the fire department?

We learned later on in Vincenzo episode 16 that it was Jang Han-seo all along!

The not-so-dumb-anymore brother was starting to grow a spine of his own. Not only did he do it to gain the trust of Vincenzo and eventually overthrow Han-seok, but he was becoming increasingly frustrated with the abuse that he was receiving. I mean, he was ordered by Han-seok to stand there and get hit by a trophy in the head as punishment for not having the building blown up.

It looked like saving Geumga Plaza from the explosion worked because Vincenzo agreed to do him a favor in return.

I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely loving where this Han-seo character is headed. Who doesn’t love an underdog?! He seems genuine about his intentions to keep Babel murder and controversy-free. And honestly, I’m at that point where I hate Han-seok (in a good way) every time he picks on Han-seo. I wanted to hug him so bad after getting hit by the trophy!

But he’s not the only one getting heat in Team Babel-Wusang.

The tension between Ms. Choi and Seung-hyeuk reached a new peak as the former revealed that she has been keeping a watchful eye on Han-seo and Seung-hyeuk because they’ve been straying off the pack.

The growing distrust led to a confrontation among the entire Babel-Wusang alliance… until a bloodied man interrupted the fight.

Now who is this bloodied man? Well to answer that, we’d have to backtrack a bit in Vincenzo episode 16.

With all of Babel’s failed attempts lately, Ms. Choi finally got the Holy Grail that (they think) would help them destroy Vincenzo: the identity of his long-lost mother. He has been getting closer and closer to Oh Gyeong-ja despite not telling her that he’s her real son. Thanks to Hong Cha-young, the two of them were able to have a family portrait taken together, and a bonding moment in the park.

I was so emotional watching these scenes! That family portrait scene where Vincenzo and Gyeong-ja didn’t even need to say anything to each other, but they were a bit teared up? And when Gyeong-ja said she was sorry that she wasn’t able to keep her promise to her son to come back for him? Instant tears.

Cha-young, you are a godsend! She was finally able to convince Vincenzo to visit her and call him her mother.

Little did they know that Jang Han-seok was already making his move. He visited Gyeong-ja in the guise of being a “friendly stranger”, and got some more information about her and Vincenzo. She was holding their family portrait as she innocently raved about her son to his biggest enemy. Turns out, she knew that Vincenzo was her son!

After that cursed visit, Ms. Choi’s hired henchman went to Oh Gyeong-ja’s hospital room and straight up K-I-L-L-E-D her. Vincenzo was too late!

I will admit, I didn’t expect her death to happen that fast and that brutally! But to the delight of Ms. Choi and Han-seok (who else ships them togehter?), Vincenzo was heartbroken especially when he saw a photo of their family portrait beside his dead mother.

But mafia got no time for tears! He immediately tracked down the henchman, tortured him by cutting off his limbs, and made him lead the way to where Jang Han-seok lived. And in the middle of Team Babel-Wusang’s argument with each other, the henchman appeared looking like a zombie straight from the grave.

Cue the horror in all of their faces. Not only was there a bloody man in their place, but he would eventually get shot by a highly-emotional and provoked Vincenzo! And you knew he meant bizness because his hair was gelled-back. That my folks… is where we ended Vincenzo episode 16.

Where do I even begin? I’m just on a high after watching this because it was so good. I was genuinely so surprised with how time just flew watching it.

Every scene in this episode lined up perfectly to give us that delicious climax, and eventually, that head-turner of an ending. Even the quick and seemingly-useless resolution of Oh Jeong-bae’s murder helped set up the central element in this episode: Babel’s desperation to get a W against Vincenzo.

They were getting more and more frustrated with their failures, and it was eating away at their team, causing a great divide among them.

To me, this has now become the most intriguing part of the show because it has been built up for so long and will probably be the key to Vincenzo’s victory.

To Seung-hyeuk and Han-seo’s point, it does seem like Team Babel-Wusang has been too trigger-happy lately. Wouldn’t it have been wiser to use Oh Gyeong-ja as a bargaining chip of sorts? I agree with Han-seo when he said that it would only provoke Vincenzo whom they know to have an affinity for violence.

If there was one thing I would change, it would be having the cute mother-and-son scenes spread out in the previous episodes. It would’ve made her death that much more painful for me because I honestly didn’t feel like Vincenzo had a deep relationship with Gyeong-ja until the park scene happened. Either way, I’m sad that they never acknowledged their mother-son relationship to one another explicitly. But such is life.

I just hope they didn’t kill her off too soon with four episodes still in the back pocket.

Nonetheless, her death has now served her purpose because we finally got Badass Vincenzo back! After he has been involving himself in too many comedic missions that bordered on wacky and insane, this incident woke the lion up again. He’s obviously not gonna kill Jang Han-seok yet, but seeing him gun down his mother’s murderer was like watching the first episode where he was blowing up mansions and killing Italians left and right.

All I can say is: I missed him. He’s probably going to go back to doing the comedic missions as soon as the next episode, anyway.

What I find interesting is Cha-young is still oblivious to Vincenzo’s murderous past. There was some foreshadowing in Vincenzo episode 16 that she was growing increasingly alarmed with his behavior. She asked him if he knew Han-seok would kill Oh Jeong-bae, and she had this concerned look on her face.

It would be refreshing to have some tension within the Jipuragi Law Firm because we’ve seen Team Babel-Wusang have internal issues of their own. Let’s just say I’m looking forward to see where the newly-formed alliance between Han-seo and Vincenzo leads!

Vincenzo Episode 15 Review & Recap

After the previous episode’s venture in the land of romance, we finally came back to what the show is all about: destroying Babel. And honestly, it’s a welcome return for the series who has struggled to keep the serious mafia side of things fresh for the viewers.

Vincenzo episode 15 increased the stakes for our favorite mafia consigliere as his opponents started to gain some momentum against him. All it took was one huge betrayal by someone whom he thought he could trust: Prosecutor Jung. That’s right!

We learned that the prosecutor was playing an ethical facade all along when he arrested Jang Han-seok… only to initiate a deal with him. Corruption once again reared its ugly head as he promised to drop all charges against Babel in exchange for Han-seok’s help in making him the Chief Prosecutor.

Unfortunately, Team Vincenzo couldn’t do much. They only learned of Prosecutor Jung’s betrayal when he went on television to apologize to Babel for “wrongfully” accusing them of numerous law violations. Obviously, this was all a ruse because Prosecutor Jung was going to be promoted in two weeks after a temporary suspension.

While this move temporarily angered Cha-young, Vincenzo paid Prosecutor Jung and his family a “friendly visit” to make sure that the latter would immediately regret his decision.

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 14: Review, Recap & Reactions

What a twist!

I didn’t expect to be fooled again by the show, yet it managed to pull this trick on me. I knew Jang Han-seok was going to escape his arrest somehow, but I didn’t even suspect Prosecutor Jung to play a part in it. He looked lame right immediately after Vincenzo threatened him, but nonetheless, it was a welcome obstacle for the Jipuragi Law Firm who has been relying on him for too long.

But Prosecutor Jung didn’t just save Babel’s butt, he also showed them the path that would lead them to ultimate power. His alliance with Mr. Cho turned out to be nothing more than a lie. He merely used the information about the Guillotine File (and the gold) as a bargaining chip to make Jang Han-seok agree to his deal. So now, Babel knows that the one thing that could make them the most powerful entity in Korea is hidden in the Geumga Plaza basement.

… Or at least, that’s what he thought.

Vincenzo revealed that he was actually able to retrieve the Guillotine File before he and Mr. Cho closed the basement door! This was a huge reveal because it would give the Jipuragi Law Firm the ammunition they needed to take down Babel.

They didn’t waste anytime leveraging the all-important file as they immediately went after the biggest newspaper company in Korea: Daebang Daily. Not only are they notorious for being corrupt, but they are also in cahoots with Babel.

Our comedic scheme for Vincenzo episode 15 was based off the information that the Jipuragi Law Firm got from the Guillotine File — the chairman of Daebang Daily, Oh Jeong-bae, killed his brother by shoving him off a cliff. He also makes a lot of life decisions based off what his shaman tells him to do. After torturing said shaman, Vincenzo was able to convince him to refer Oh Jeong-bae to another “shaman”.

This “shaman” would end up being Vincenzo himself after the Geumga Plaza tenants unanimously voted him to play the part. So when Jeong-bae visited Shaman Vincenzo in his “temple”, he was scared into publicly defaming and cutting ties with Babel if he didn’t want to die in five days. Being a gullible man, Jeong-bae followed his new shaman’s advice which would pit the two companies — Daebang Daily and Babel — against each other.

With the number of things going on in this episode, this scheme thankfully didn’t play out too long. I guess I enjoyed how short it was because it wasn’t as strong or funny as some of the other tricks Vincenzo had pulled. He looked pretty in the shaman costume though! It was also great seeing him start to get comfortable playing these wacky roles because it showed that the Geumga Plaza tenants were actually rubbing off on him.

I think the bigger reveal that I didn’t expect was that Vincenzo had the Guillotine File all along. That would explain why he wasn’t panicking hard after the basement door was locked. But wow, having this file just puts him in a much bigger advantage over Babel, and it’s going to suck when they inevitably get hold of it.

Thanks to the Guillotine File, the Jipuragi Law Firm learned more about their opponent in Jang Han-seok. The Babel chairman had killed four of his classmates in middle and high school, and stole their watches as psuedo-trophies. This psychopathic behavior is what led his father to move him to the US.

But they’re not the only ones who got some revealing information that could help them win the war.

Ms. Choi thought she could get rid of Vincenzo when she contacted his enemy from Italy: Paolo. He sent his henchmen to attack the mafia lawyer, but that attempt failed when a flock of birds (yes, a flock of birds) helped the latter turn the tables on them.

With that plan down in the dumps, Ms. Choi decided to try a more personal approach by looking into Vincenzo’s family.

And I know what youre thinking! After weeks of waiting for Babel to finally find out about his dying mother, Oh Gyeong-ja, they finally learned about her existence thanks to Ms. Choi, the real brains behind Babel. It looks like we’re gonna have to wait a little bit longer before they use this information to their advantage… and honestly, we’re scared for what they’re gonna do.

Speaking of Gyeong-ja, Cha-young actually received a mysterious letter from her which seemed to indicate that she was going to die sooner rather than later. Another interesting tidbit: the feisty lawyer was also able to piece together that Gyeong-ja was actually the mother of Vincenzo. This led to an adorable scene where she encouraged him to buy an expensive bag for her.

And last thing to note: as Gyeong-ja’s time continues to run out, she has set her sights on a retrial of the sexual harassment case that landed her in jail.

After Vincenzo episode 15, it seems like we’re finally going to see Gyeong-ja’s storyline turn into something more meaningful. No longer is she the random person who pops in every other episode to give Vincenzo some sort of backstory, but she is actually going to be the spark that will put him in major trouble. With her retrial coming up and Babel right on her heels, her son better watch his back.

It’s a small detail, but I also wanted to point out how ridiculous it was that Vincenzo was saved from Paolo’s men by freakin’ birds. To give the writers credit, I think they did build this up when they had Vincenzo have some sort of rivalry with the birds in his room for the past few episodes. But wow, that was such a weird way to get him out of trouble and definitely turned me off with its unrealism. I wish they didn’t use the birds aside from comedic purposes.

Vincenzo episode 15 ended an already loaded series of events with the murder of Oh Jyeong-bae. The kicker was that Vincenzo happened to be at the wrong place and the wrong time as the police arrested him for it. Obviously, he is being framed by Babel, so the question now is how will he ever get out of this one?

I’ve learned not to make of anything from the cliffhangers in this show because it’s usually resolved within the first twenty minutes of the following episode. Still, the look on Vincenzo’s face tells me that he did not see it coming.

And before I forget, we got a small tease of Jang Han-seo potentially aligning himself with Vincenzo. He invited himself into the Jipuragi Law Firm office because he wanted to ask for their help in taking down his brother. He claimed that he wanted to take down Han-seok so that he could run a “cleaner” Babel.

Unfortunately, Vincenzo and Cha-young thought that he was too dumb to take over Babel, and told him to come back when he was more prepared. I thought this cleared out what would eventually happen in the final moments of the show: Han-seo helps take down his brother, and gets his happy ending when he becomes the real chairman of a different Babel.

Overall, I liked this episode for how much it contributed to the overall narrative. Time flew by quickly because there were only a few scenes that didn’t add anything to the story. I was invested thanks to the Prosecutor Jung plot twist, the Guillotine File repercussions, and the Gyeong-ja storyline which is going to raise the stakes for Team Vincenzo pretty soon. Unfortunately, there were not a lot of scenes with the Geumga Plaza tenants and the main romance, but it didn’t matter that much with the heavy amount of story development we got in Vincenzo episode 15.

Oh Gyeong-ja wants a retrial

Vincenzo Episode 14 Review & Recap

After a disappointing outing in the previous episode, Vincenzo was able to throw a one-two punch by serving us a compelling episode that involved a fun, complicated scheme and giving us the major romantic development we desperately needed!

The only real story we followed in Vincenzo episode 14 was the next step in Jipuragi Law Firm’s grand plan to take down Babel. They had already set the stage by exposing Jang Han-seok (fka Joon-woo) as the leader of the Babel Vision Team who took care of all their union-related cases. And one of the decisions he could’ve gotten in trouble for was the murder of the union leader. It seemed like it was enough to throw the entire Team Babel-Wusang in jail, especially when Vincenzo came out with the driver’s confession that he was ordered by Ms. Choi to kill the union leader.

But what kind of k-drama would it be if we ended things right there and then?

Jang Han-seo tried to sacrifice himself, saying that he was actually the person who made the call to murder the union leader. And just when things got interesting, Chief Prosecutor came in to save the day, claiming that the Vision Team leader and Babel company union leader plotted the whole thing to try and overthrow Jang Han-seok from his position.

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 13: Review, Recap & Reactions

They’re off the hook… for now!

I think everyone — Vincenzo included — knew that Jang Han-seok was going to slither his way out of that situation. But what I wanted to point out was Han-seo’s attempt to take the fall for his brother. Did he do it to show Han-seok that he was sorry? Was he trying to get into jail so he doesn’t have to deal with his brother anymore? Or was it something else, completely?

With his behavior recently, I’m actually starting to root for him.

In Vincenzo episode 14, the team’s mission is to secure evidence on Han-seok’s paper company. And contrary to what I thought until the show laughed at me for it, a paper company is not a company that makes paper. It’s a company that “only exists on paper” and is used to buy stocks to increase a CEO’s shares illegally… which is what Han-seok has been doing.

Thanks to the guy from Babel E&C who is now selling balloons in Geumga Plaza, Vincenzo is directed to a singer named Mr. Na. He used to send information to Han-seok’s paper company which was disguised as an art gallery. And in that place was where all the magic happened: money is laundered through the artworks which is how Han-seok bought stocks using the paper company’s name.

All the proof that they need that this is actually happening is in the computer located in the art gallery director’s office.

You know what that means: it’s time for one of Vincenzo’s elaborate schemes! This stunt might’ve just been my favorite of the entire series so far because soooo many hilarious and crazy things happened. The participation of the Geumga Plaza tenants was also needed to pull this off because as Cha-young said, why is everyone in the building smart and/or impressive?

And that’s our cue to talk about Seo Mi-ri. She’s the tenant who seems to know all about the gold and Vincenzo. If you’ve been following my episode recaps, you know that I’ve been creeped out with her lately because she’s been pretending to be clueless about it.

In this episode though, we finally learned why she’s been behaving eccentrically. Mi-ri revealed that she has actually known about the gold bars all along because she was the person who created the security system for it! And she can also recreate the iris recognition device that Mr. Cho had “lost” in the previous episode.

So turns out, she’s a really good hacker! With her skills, she would be much help to Vincenzo now and might have just won herself the position of Unofficial Member #6.

Along with Han-seo, Mi-ri was one of the highlights to come from Vincenzo episode 14. I bet some of you already knew that she was involved with the gold somehow, but I for one, was very clueless about her real identity up to that point. Don’t you just love it when a character surprises you?!

Now, comes the mission itself. To enter the fully-booked art gallery without any suspicion, Mi-ri hacked their system to get Vincenzo and Cha-young in under a real foreign couple’s reservation. Not only did our two favorite lawyers have to pretend to be foreigners, but they had to pretend to be *giggles* a couple.

Meanwhile, the real couple who made the reservation were “kidnapped” by three tenants from Geumga Plaza. I put kidnapped in quotation marks because they were actually taken to a cultural experience of sorts which involved watching traditional dances, tasting Chef Toto’s cooking, and a proposal in the monk’s temple. That couple didn’t mind being kidnapped at all!

But wait, did I just say proposal?!

Yes! As Cha-young hilariously pretended to speak broken Korean, the gallery director gave a slight wink to Vincenzo indicating that something was up. Once they stopped in front of a painting of an everlasting tree, she revealed that the husband who made the reservation was planning to propose to the wife. There were cameras and more importantly, there was a ring!

Vincenzo was hesitant to propose at first, but in the spirit of the mission, he asked Cha-young to marry him to which she said yes. They thought that the torture would end there, but everyone was shouting for the two to kiss. I mean, it is a marriage proposal after all.

And in the most Cha-young thing ever, she pulled in Vincenzo for a kiss… a loooooong kiss that lasted a minute!

My feelings during this scene were through the roof because this was the moment I’ve been waiting for since I got around to the idea of Vincenzo and Cha-young together. And don’t you just love how Cha-young was the one who initiated it?

But I will admit, at around the last ten seconds of their kiss, it already felt like it had gone on for too long. It was glorious though!

After all that display of “fake” romance, they were able to get into the art gallery director’s office. Cue the other tenants who had caused a commotion with the security guards outside! The director left to check what’s going on, so this gave Vincenzo and Cha-young the opportunity they needed to find the files in the computer, which were transferred to a thumb drive thanks to Mi-ri’s remote hacking skills.

But eventually, the director finally pieced it together: she was getting played by these people. But once again, the two lawyers had planned two steps ahead and claimed to be from the foreign intelligence service of Italy. They said that they were to take a smuggled painting from the gallery… which the director admitted to.

Just when everything felt like it was coming together for Vincenzo, his past came back to haunt him. He didn’t know it, but Ms. Choi had been planning his downfall by keeping in touch with his enemy from Italy. He might’ve been able to run from the mafia, but she brought the mafia in Korea!

We ended Vincenzo episode 14 with men from the Italian mafia surrounding a defenseless Vincenzo.

Overall, this was an easy watch thanks to the elaborate art gallery heist-slash-scheme. One of my major criticisms against the show is how it can become repetitive with these large-scale plans that Vincenzo concocts. What he comes up with can be hit-or-miss, and affects my enjoyment of the episode. When it’s bad, we get boring and drawn-out pranks like the previous episode. But when it’s good, we get episodes like these.

After the romantic plot was pretty much non-existent in episode 13, we were able to get some of that action here. So I feel like if you like the two leads together, you would’ve enjoyed the art gallery parts like I did. I mean if you’re still complaining after we got a proposal and a long-ass kissing scene, then I don’t know with you anymore.

Even they themselves had some hangover from all that romance when they called each other “sweetie” and “darling” in the car like playground sweethearts. How cute was that?!!!

The entertainment value was also on a high in Vincenzo episode 14 thanks to the major role that the Geumga Plaza tenants played. They’ve always given us nuggets of laughter, and the same rings true here. I love how the show managed to work in all their different talents and quirks into the big scheme. Seriously, each and every one of them helped the Jipuragi Law Firm out!

There were just so many moments that made the supporting characters more interesting. We already discussed Mi-ri and her involvement with the gold, but can we go back to Han-seo for a second?

He and Seung-hyeuk actually had the guts to try and make a deal with Vincenzo so that they can take down Han-seok together. Obviously, that did not pan out like they had wanted it to (because of Vincenzo’s principles?) but one thing’s for sure: Han-seo isn’t planning to be the dumb subservient brother any longer.

And lastly, Mr. Cho is finally interesting for a second when it’s revealed that he is working with Prosecutor Jung to take hold of the Guillotine File. What to make of this alliance…

15. Vincenzo rejected Han-seo’s offer to work with him? Not the time to play cool, Vincenzo.

35. This scheme is so extra with the fake police and everything.

36. The chewing gum on the wall could’ve really passed off as art.

The post ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 14: Review, Recap & Reactions appeared first on Zoomers Corner.

Last week, Jang Han-seo took his shot (literally) to try and take down Han-seok, only to fail miserably. Mr. Cho also revealed his true colors when he placed a gun to Vincenzo’s head after they finally got to the basement with the infamous gold!

Vincenzo episode 13 continues to tread familiar waters as another scheme-slash-prank is played on Jang Joon-woo Han-seok when he makes his first public appearance as chairman of Babel. Han-seo flies under the radar after he botches the attempt to kill his brother, and Mr. Cho’s real intention with the gold is (somewhat) disclosed.

Vincenzo Episode 13 Review & Recap

This was one big meh after all the high expectations the k-drama has set so far. It’s too quick to judge based off this alone, but as I’ve worried about before, it looks like Vincenzo is going to struggle with having 20 total episodes. I definitely felt like they could’ve cut many scenes here without losing much of the story.

Let’s first get to where we had ended the previous episode: with Mr. Cho’s betrayal of Vincenzo. Who knew it would take less than a minute of them getting into the basement before one of them tried to turn against the other? Gold really does change people!

I think what I was most surprised by was Mr. Cho telling Vincenzo he only needed one particular bar of gold, and we all know what that means: he’s only been participating in this gold hunt not for the prospect of being rich, but for the Guillotine File!

Turns out our not-so-favorite insignificant character actually works for the International Security Intelligence Service, the agency that messed up and lost the file.

Vincenzo was able to martial arts his way out of that predicament and get some answers out of Mr. Cho. What was odd to me was they still seemed pretty friendly to each other during this time. It’s as if no one tried to pull a gun moments ago. In fact, Vincenzo forgave him pretty quickly after the incident.

I guess I found it odd because I never really saw the two as friends, but as business partners. I think the writers knew that a lot of us would feel that way because they gave us some exposition in this episode to explain that yes, they really are friends.

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 12: Review, Recap & Reactions

But neither of them were able to get any gold or file from that basement because the Geumga Plaza tenants actually wised up on their way to the hot springs. They found the whole trip suspicious and stormed back to the building. Better late than never!

Vincenzo and Mr. Cho hurriedly threw back all the gold bars in the basement along with the latter’s jacket, then shut it close. Only problem: in the jacket was the only device that would be able to open the basement. That meant the only way to get to the gold now was to demolish the building.

Okay, so was it a big plot hole for Mr. Cho to shut the basement door close knowing that the “key” was thrown in the basement? Or is he just playing a scheme on Vincenzo? It’s pretty stupid of him if he didn’t do it on purpose… I was very confused.

He saw Vincenzo throw the jacket with the device in the basement and had a big enough window of time to get it out.

It seemed like Mr. Cho was planning to sell the information from the Guillotine File. Someone had met up with him in a black trench coat, which we can only assume is the person who’s pulling his strings. Also suspicious is Seo Mi-ri, who seemed like she knew the gold was really under the temple floor… but didn’t say a word.

I don’t know if it’s just my mood, but I found this progress in the gold storyline to be pretty bland. I’m actually kind of ready for it to be over. Mr. Cho just never interested me as a character since he’s so flat and never seemed like a major player to me.

But I am curious about the person in the trench coat who visited him, and what they have to do with the Guillotine File.

At the very least, all this development on the gold gave us the best moment of this episode: Vincenzo fake-crying-but-really-crying because the gold bars are stuck in the basement.

The most interesting thing from Vincenzo episode 13 was the changing dynamic in Team Babel-Wusang after last week’s events. Seung-hyeuk started to suck up even more blatantly to Jang Han-seok (formerly known as Joon-woo) after Han-seo shot him in their hunting trip. Ms. Choi warned her former #1 ally to be careful because he’s playing a dangerous game, wanting to please the two Jang brothers.

But it looks like his true allegiance may be to Jang Han-seo, as he gave him the advice to “play dumb” for a while so his psychotic brother won’t see him coming when he strikes.

And play dumb, he did.

We don’t know if Han-seok is buying this dumb act though; he didn’t even buy Han-seo’s lame excuse that the gunshot from the previous episode was an accident. But Han-seok made it clear that the only reason his brother is still alive is because he will take the fall if Babel goes down.

Like I said in my reactions below, I wish Han-seok had just kept the reason to himself so he can keep Han-seo on his toes. Meanwhile, I like how Seung-hyeuk is keeping me guessing with who he’s siding with between the two brothers. I honestly don’t know what his endgame is and what he truly wants, but I feel like he has the potential to be killed off soon since he’s too wishy-washy.

The last thread of story left to tell for Vincenzo episode 13 was Jipuragi taking another shot at Babel. Jang Han-seok finally made some appearances in public as the real Babel chairman. He looked good with his new hair, he wore luxurious suits, and he even got the media to praise him at all costs like a K-pop idol.

Unfortunately, Ms. Choi’s decision to kill off the union leader from last week may have destroyed Han-seok’s image just as quickly as it was built.

To make sure that the rest of the indictments against Babel push through, Team Vincenzo wanted to make sure that they would be able to show the world that Han-seok was a dirty chairman.

Their first mission was to expose him as the direct supervisor of the Babel Vision Team leader, who handles all union-related cases in the company. They knew they couldn’t make the Vision Team Leader talk, so the Jipuragi Law Firm decided to go after the company union leader instead.

What ensued afterwards was the most comedic torture(?) scene that we had seen in the show so far.

The people from Jipuragi had no guns this time around… just chic black outfits with leather face masks. They got the guy from the company union to blackmail the Vision Team Leader: two billion won, or he exposes all the illegal activities that the Vision Team has made him do.

While this is going on, Prosecutor Jung kept Ms. Choi and Jang Han-seok trapped in an interrogation room as he orders a fake raid against Babel. The goal of the fake raid was to distract them from what’s really happening.

And the crazy thing is, they bought it. Hook, line & sinker.

Han-seok gave a talk to the young leaders of tomorrow as the chairman of an extremely successful conglomerate. But as he played a video on the projector, it was interrupted by footage of the Vision Team Leader and Babel company union leader negotiating. In their conversation, it was revealed to everyone in attendance that Jang Han-seok was the person behind all of the decisions pertaining to unions.

Que horror!

Han-seok had asked Han-seo to shut the whole thing down, but as he did his lamest half-assed attempt to stop the video from playing, there was a small smile on his face as he watched Han-seok be exposed to the world. *sips tea*

If that wasn’t enough, Vincenzo added insult to injury to Han-seok by making sure that pig blood was poured all over him.

Overall, Vincenzo episode 13 was pretty uneventful. It actually felt like I was back to the first few episodes for a minute there: the gold is back in the basement, Team Babel-Wusang got outsmarted again, and we got no romantic development between Vincenzo and Cha-young. Zero!

Who would’ve thought I’d be so invested in their relationship after doubting them so heavily back then?

But yes, I was looking for that because this episode kind of dragged. What I am most bothered by was the fact that Jang Han-seok looked dumb again. It really makes you question his legitimacy as the Big Bad of the show. I mean seriously, can you think of a time where he (and not Ms. Choi) actually felt like a threat to Vincenzo?

Vincenzo Episode 13 Reactions

1. Hooooly shit. I didn’t expect Mr. Cho to be after the Guillotine File! I am pleasantly surprised. Who is he working for?

2. You knew all along that he was going to be a traitor, Vincenzo? I didn’t!

3. Mr. Cho is such a loser. If he had not threatened Vincenzo and just pretended to accidentally take the gold bar with the file, then he wouldn’t have gotten away with nothing.

4. Mr. Cho works for the International Security Service? Isn’t this the same agency that An Gi-seok works for?

5. This Babel E&C guy is just saying what everyone’s thinking!

6. It’s so weird seeing Chef Toto outside his chef clothes.

7. Mi-ri creeps me out. She knows too much about the gold.

8. Stupid or smart that Mr. Cho helped close the basement knowing that the device was inside his jacket?

9. Vincenzo crying is the funniest thing ever!

Seung-hyuk’s true allegiance is questioned

10. What do we feel about Joon-woo Han-seok’s new hair? I don’t like it.

11. Seung-hyuk is playing with fire playing in the middle of the two Jang brothers. I wonder who he’s going to end up siding with.

12. Yesss, we’re finally back to the Vincenzo vs. Babel story. How I missed it after all that distraction with the gold.

13. So Mr. Cho and Vincenzo are just letting bygones be bygones? That’s a shock.

14. Oooohhh, a mystery person in a coat just approached Mr. Cho. I have a feeling that it’s Ms. Choi. Get those hand analysts ready!

15. What game is Jang Han-seo playing throwing this tantrum in the police station?

16. Seung-hyuk’s right. The union leader being killed is quite irresponsible.

17. IDK about Han-seok telling Han-seo why he kept him alive. Seems pretty stupid… wouldn’t it have been better to let Han-seo ponder on it?

Getting information from the company union leader

18. Okay, nooooow Han-seok looks dapper.

19. Here we go. It’s been a while since we’ve had one of Vincenzo’s elaborate schemes.

20. Aaaannnd here’s another torture scene. My favorite! I don’t think anything’s gonna top the Russian roulette torture from episode 11 today.

21. I can’t stop thinking about how fashionable these matching gang outfits and face masks are.

22. Them being all buddy-buddy with this company union leader is bizarre, but I’ll take it.

23. Vincenzo smiling at Cha-young when she said she wanted to try splashing pig blood was subtle but cute.

24. Prosecutor Jung is lowkey a really strong character not succumbing to any of Babel’s BS.

Han-seok’s reputation takes a hit

25. Ms. Choi, if only you knew… if only you knew what they were really up to.

26. The arrogance of Ms. Choi and Han-seok is seriously going to be their downfall. They haven’t done anything to deserve to be that arrogant… at least not Han-seok.

27. Vincenzo and Cha-young eating popcorn… they’re also pretty arrogant themselves, but at least they got something to show for it.

28. Han-seo’s smirk through it all is freaking glorious. He deserves this small victory, tbh.

29. Pig’s blood. Why didn’t I see this coming when they were talking about it earlier?

30. And in that moment, Jang Han-seo realized that he must align himself with Team Vincenzo if he wants to take down his brother.

The post ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 13: Review, Recap & Reactions appeared first on Zoomers Corner.

In one of the most intense cliffhangers of the series so far, Vincenzo finally found out who the real chairman behind Babel was disguising himself as. We ended the previous episode with an intense image: Joon-woo on his knees begging to be killed while Vincenzo places a gun to his forehead.

Vincenzo episode 12 mellows down the pace from the two previous episodes as Joon-woo goes incognito after that unexpected visit into his apartment. The gold hunt is also placed at center stage when we learn that there’s more to the gold bars than they seem.

And most importantly, the civil war within Team Babel-Wusang leads to the real boss revealing himself to the entire world! Find out all the glorious deets in this week’s review, recap, and real-time reactions. And as always, feel free to leave your thoughts about this episode in the comments below.

Vincenzo Episode 12 Review & Recap

After all the craziness that the show gave us in the past two weeks, I think I was ready for something more relaxing. And thankfully, the torture count for Vincenzo episode 12 was at a mere zero so you knew things didn’t get too crazy this time around.

The continuation of the previous episode was probably the only time we got intense. Instead of killing Joon-woo right there and then, Vincenzo shot a blank which prompted Prosecutor Jung to intervene. This was all just a giant scheme from Vincenzo because he had decided that it was better for Joon-woo to be kept alive if he wanted to take down Babel.

The prosecutor had arrested Vincenzo whose gun was revealed to be fake all along. That meant that he could only get charged for intimidation. But the meet-up between the two also made it clear to Prosecutor Jung that the people from the Jipuragi Law Firm were on his side. With that, he was going to come after Babel with multiple cases.

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 11: Review, Recap & Reactions

I don’t think anyone really expected Joon-woo — and yes, we’re calling him that until the next episode review for reasons you’ll learn later on — to die right there and then. And while I enjoyed the way Vincenzo got under his skin, the prosecutor getting involved to stop the mess kind of came out of left field. I even forgot who Prosecutor Jung was for a second there!

With that, Joon-woo goes on a personal retreat to… clear his head? Or was it to keep a low profile from the prosecution? He did not like losing to Vincenzo. And I’m sure getting his entire being slapped out of him by Cha-young left a bad taste in his mouth, too.

And that retreat of his was definitely eventful. There was a weird scene where he temporarily lost consciousness from the bottled water in his room which Vincenzo had asked his men to drug. He did it as a reverse psychology trick to get Joon-woo to out himself as Jang Han-seok, the real Babel boss.

See, the mafia lawyer’s Italian-style revenge involved two things: (1) Han-seok revealing who he really was to the world, and (2) taking down what he loved most in the world: his company.

The bottled water bit may not have worked as planned, but something else pushed Joon-woo to do that in Vincenzo episode 12. Do you remember Team Phoenix — Jang Han-seo and Han Seung-hyeok — plotting Joon-woo’s demise when they were shooting guns together? Well the idiots finally did it!

In a big “no, he did not” moment, Han-seo actually shot his older brother with a gun when they went hunting together! Joon-woo stood up and went for Han-seo after being shot like a classic horror movie villain. Eventually though, he would fall down… and he would’ve died right there and then if a man hadn’t come up to the scene. Han-seo acted his butt off claiming it was a shooting accident.

As Joon-woo laid in the hospital bed, Ms. Choi gave him a reality check: keeping his identity secret was increasingly becoming his weakness. Joon-woo also revealed his fear of having a nameless grave, so it only made sense that in the middle of a board meeting that Han-seo was heading, he finally went public as the real chairman behind Babel.

I was shocked with how quickly Team Phoenix went after Joon-woo, whom we are now officially referring to as Jang Han-seok unless the characters continue to address him otherwise. Honestly, I didn’t even think those two had it in them. Especially Han-seo whom I didn’t expect to shoot his psychotic brother in the back! But all I can say is, he better watch his own after this. He might not even make it to the series finale!

I’m looking forward to how Han-seok and Ms. Choi treat Team Phoenix from now on. I bet they’ll pretend to forgive them and be nice, only to stab them in the back later. What I can’t believe is how easily Vincenzo’s plan is falling into place: it’s barely been a minute, and Jang Han-seok has already revealed him to the world. It’s honestly making me question how smart of a villain he really is.

Do you know who has Vincenzo in a doozy, though? Mr. freakin’ Cho!

Who’d have thought that the guy who almost died in the first episode and had barely any lines since then would be the one to outsmart Vincenzo? Let’s back up a few steps and talk about the Geumga Plaza gold hunt which took center stage in Vincenzo episode 12.

So everyone and their mother found out about the hidden gold bars, including the Babel E&C personnel who now run a balloon store, Cha-young who did not believe Vincenzo before, and Mr. Nam.

But it has become bigger than the gold because we learned that the Guillotine File was hidden in there as well. It’s a file that contains all the dirt on important people in Korea… including Babel! Even they are in shambles looking for it now because they learned that the Intelligence Service got hacked and lost it. If only they knew it was in the freaking basement of the monks’ temple along with the gold bars all this time.

The Jipuragi Law Firm agreed to split Vincenzo’s share of the gold bars and lured all the tenants away with a paid trip to the hot springs. It bothers me that they fell for the trick so easily. Wouldn’t everyone be at least a little suspicious if someone had paid for you to go on a trip out of nowhere? Especially since they knew about the treasures inside the building?

Anyway, this finally bought Vincenzo and Mr. Cho the opportunity to get the gold. And lo and behold, they opened the safe under the temple floor to reveal a basement with all the gold bars that they’d been dreaming of for years.

But do you know how the promise of riches can turn someone into an absolute monster? Well when Vincenzo was taking in all the gold in the room, Mr. Cho placed a gun on his head. The betrayal!

This is where we left things in Vincenzo episode 12. If you’ve been reading my recaps, then you might have gotten the sense that I’m not a fan of the whole gold hunt storyline. But my interest instantly picked up when it was revealed that the Guillotine File is hidden there. It definitely raises the stake for Team Vincenzo to take ownership of everything in the basement.

As for Mr. Cho, I’m honestly just snickering at him. He wasn’t a threat then, he isn’t a threat now. I honestly don’t think he’s gonna get away with the gold because someone’s going to rescue Vincenzo. I’d bet my money on Cha-young or Seo Mi-ri.

You know that girl is up to something! Especially when she hasn’t told anyone that she knows about the gold being under the temple floor.

Aside from all the development that revolved around the gold, not a lot of things happened. This episode was literally just Vincenzo distracting himself with the gold while waiting for Han-seok to come out of the closet. There was another cute finger-flicking bet between him and Cha-young, but it’s just a cute little somethin’ while we wait for the time they confess their feelings to each other.

Overall, Vincenzo episode 12 was a decent outing. I don’t personally mind the slower pace, but I would imagine that a lot of people were looking for more thrill out of this one, especially with how we have been spoiled with action-packed endings the past few episodes.

The post ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 12: Review, Recap & Reactions appeared first on Zoomers Corner.

We left things last week with a nail-biting cliffhanger: Vincenzo claimed he knew who Babo aka the Real Babel Boss was. He looked intently at Jang Joon-woo, hinting that the charade was up for Cha-young’s intern!

Vincenzo episode 11 clarifies one major thing from that ending: he only knew half of the entire story. While the consigliere did get a name, Jang Han-seok, he was not able to connect it with a person. Little did he know that Babo was standing right in front of him.

The quest to find out who Babo is continues in this episode as Vincenzo gets tied up in a sticky legal affair. Find out all the glorious deets in this week’s review, recap, and real-time reactions. Feel free to leave your thoughts about this episode in the comments below!

Vincenzo Episode 11 Review & Recap

The show almost baited us with that cliffhanger from the previous episode. With the way Vincenzo and Cha-young were eyeing Joon-woo, many viewers thought that the two of them finally figured out that he was Babo all along.

But apparently, they didn’t piece everything together because Vincenzo was only able to retrieve Babo’s real name: Jang Han-seok. The problem was he didn’t know that Han-seok was actually Jang Joon-woo in real life… until the end of this episode. And what a thrilling journey we went through to get to that point!

Vincenzo used a phone from one of Joon-woo’s hitmen to call Babo. In the most nail-biting and headache-inducing scene of the entire k-drama so far, Joon-woo’s phone actually rang inside his coat… while Vincenzo stood beside him. The psychotic chairman managed to trick the people in the tunnel as he put up his other phone in display, showing them that no one was calling him.

The crazy thing is the others didn’t think much of it… even when they found out later that Babo was in that area!

That was probably one of the most stupid miscalculations from Team Vincenzo that I found hard to believe. So you’re telling me that after all the crazy elaborate schemes that they had planned and executed, they couldn’t even figure out that it was Joon-woo all the time? I knew that it was just a way to prolong the big reveal further, but wow, did that make our protagonists look like idiots.

The opposition isn’t too bright either. It was actually Team Babel-Wusang’s misstep that led to the whole charade being over.

In classic mafia style, Vincenzo kidnapped and interrogated the hitmen hired by Joon-woo to kill him in the underpass. Now I’m not sure what their fate was, but it seemed like Vincenzo’s own hitmen — the people responsible for the death of the Babel whistleblower in episode 3 — left them to drown in a lake after trapping them inside a car with poisonous gas.

I thought that the decision to have Vincenzo hire those particular people was sooo out of the blue. Personally, I would’ve loved a little more background on how they were coerced to work for him.

It seems like the writers are planning to do something with them in the future, and just needed to get them on Vincenzo’s side as soon as possible to achieve their plan. That decision just led to many questions for me, with the biggest one being why Cha-young was cool with the entire set-up. I would’ve expected a bigger pushback from her with how the hitmen were so closely related to her father’s murder.

Frustrated with their losses, Ms. Choi suggested that they just come after Vincenzo the easiest way: by having him arrested as an ex-member of the Italian mafia. And in very meta fashion, he actually does get arrested and outed while playing a game of Mafia with the other building tenants. Everyone’s reactions were hilarious because they weren’t quite getting that Vincenzo was a real member of the mafia… until the police placed him in cuffs.

But lo and behold, the storyline involving An Gi-seok and his undercover mission finally paid off big time.

In signature overdramatic style, he bailed out Vincenzo by transferring him away from the corrupt hands of the Namdongbu Prosecutors’ Office, and into the custody of the International Organized Crime Bureau where he’s in charge.

After all the not-so-subtle spying he’s been doing, Gi-seok was finally able to gain Vincenzo’s trust by bailing him out. The Jipuragi Law Firm agreed to let him help them in their effort to take down Babel, making him the unofficial #4 player of their team. Part of their deal was that Vincenzo give Gi-seok a big ol’ lover’s hug which he had always wanted to do. Why does he worship him so much? Because he still thinks that Vincenzo loves Buddha and is on his road to redemption.

I think I loved the An Gi-seok reveal a lot because of the look on Cha-young and Vincenzo’s faces when he showed up to save the latter; they genuinely did not see it coming. It seemed like the two lawyers didn’t have any idea how to escape their predicament, so it was a huge sigh of relief for them to know that Gi-seok was actually an undercover cop coming to save the day.

I don’t think we’ve ever seen our leads have to depend on other people for help, so it was nice seeing them getting saved for once.

The entirety of Vincenzo episode 11 was definitely An Gi-seok’s breakthrough moment because he freakin’ stole all of the scenes he was in. It seems like he’s moving on to a more prominent role in the future with his secret out in the open. And you know what? I don’t mind it. Give me more of your diva-esque struts, king!

While in the custody of the Namdongbu Prosecutor’s Office, Vincenzo is shown photos of all the heinous things that he has done in the past. And then it clicked in his head: Jang Han-seok (aka Joon-woo) had someone gather intel on him in Italy. With some help from token Italian friend Luca, and making use of An Gi-seok’s resources, our team of lawyers were able to find the guy who got those incriminating photos.

We got a second torture scene in Vincenzo episode 11, but this one had a delicious twist. Joon-woo’s guy knew he’d end up dead anyway if he revealed who he was working for. Vincenzo didn’t seem fazed by this and brought out his secret weapon: a game of Russian roulette.

READ: ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 10: Review, Recap & Reactions

In perhaps the craziest and unnecessarily arrogant stunt he has ever pulled, Vincenzo loaded a revolver with one bullet. He pulled the trigger on himself and the guy three times before the latter finally caved and told the truth: Jang Han-seok is actually masquerading himself as a lawyer in Wusang and goes by the name Jang Joon-woo. Cue the suspense music and look of anguish in Vincenzo’s face because Cha-young just met up with him. The consigliere hurriedly called up his partner-in-crime who at that point, still thought that Joon-woo was her innocent ex-intern.

Then we end Vincenzo episode 11 with one hell of a scene: Joon-woo entered his apartment where Vincenzo had been waiting for him with a gun. The real chairman of Babel acted dumb at first, but we all know that he knew that Vincenzo knew. He went down on his knees with much hubris and practically begged Vincenzo to kill him.

That was a suspenseful and strong last third to end an already packed episode. It might actually be my favorite one of the entire k-drama so far because everything seemed so… purposeful. The problem with having an 80-minute running time is that there’s always a tendency to have too much filler and fluff. Everything was fast-paced, taking us from point A to point B to point C with purpose. While this episode seemed like it was solely designed to stretch the Babo reveal for a longer time, I feel like this was a more satisfying way for Vincenzo to learn about Jang Joon-woo’s real identity.

And I was such a huge fan of the second torture scene involving the guy who got the intel on Vincenzo. An earlier scene saw Joon-woo slice his jaw with a knife to prove a point to his brother. But then we saw Vincenzo play a careless game of Russian roulette later on, and suddenly, we realized how we’re watching two guys try to out-insane each other.

Speaking of Joon-woo’s brother, things are continuing to get interesting in the Team Babel-Wusang side of things. Jang Han-seo and Han Seung-hyeok have finally reached the same page after they were walking on eggshells in the previous episode. Both of them decided to plan a coup to overthrow Joon-woo as the chairman of Babel is on!

I don’t know how this is gonna pan out yet, but it seems clear that they’re gonna help Team Vincenzo defeat Babel before the series ends. You gotta love their underdog spirit because no viewer literally sees them as a legitimate threat to Joon-woo. But the important thing is, they’re trying!

The gold hunt in Geumga Plaza is also heading onto an interesting direction. After the tenants had learned that Vincenzo is actually part of the mafia, they convinced him to help them find the gold and split the earnings equally. Vincenzo was obviously upset by the whole situation, but had to fake that he was happy about the “news”. Only one caveat though: Seo Mi-ri overheard him plotting with Mr. Cho.

It seems like Vincenzo’s real intention in buying the building is going to come out soon, and I’m excited how the tenants — who worship him a lot — are going to react. But what I also found cute was that the tenants are genuinely worming their way into his heart. Mr. Cho had spread slander against the monks’ temple to help with retrieving the gold. But this plan was quickly shut down by Vincenzo because according to him, the monks were off-limits. Aaawww!

We also got to see the ruthless mafia lawyer’s heart soften more in Vincenzo episode 11 as he shared his first intimate moment with his mother. It felt like he was really trying to reach out to her this time; there was no yelling or backhanded comments.

And can we talk about that scene with Cha-young now? If you recalled last week, she ran to give him a hug in the underpass because she got super worried that he would end up dead. She decided to test whether or not she had feelings for Vincenzo by giving him another long hug. And you know what got me all up in my feels? Vincenzo was on board with the entire thing!

He didn’t feign disgust or anything like that when suggested it, he was just like: okay, hug me now.

Buuuut, after testing it out, Cha-young concluded that she just felt a rush of emotions for Vincenzo in the underpass because she was just frightened for him. Well all I can say is… you’re a liar, Cha-young!

26. An Gi-seok and the random cleaning lady are gold. I knew the Director would come through!

27. This guy has a penchant for the dramatic, but given how he’s going to help out Vincenzo, I’ll give him a pass.

28. Vincenzo being devoted to Buddha is still one of my favorite erroneous beliefs of Gi-seok’s.

29. Gi-seok is officially my favorite character in this show. He deserves all the butt-grabbing hugs from Vincenzo after this.

30. Corn Salad Vincenzo is the funniest thing to happen in this show.

Han-seo and Seung-hyeok bond

35. It worries me every time Joon-woo calls Cha-young promising her some information.

The post ‘Vincenzo’ Episode 11: Review, Recap & Reactions appeared first on Zoomers Corner.

We are all still collectively in disbelief from how we left things off in the previous episode. Jang Joon-woo continued to cross the line when the Babel victims’ families ended up dead in a van together.

Vincenzo episode 10 reveals what really happened in their planned trip that led to to their death (spoiler alert: it’s not a suicide) as our favorite lawyer duo enacts a plan to lure out Babo. Will they finally learn that Joon-woo has been pulling the strings all this time?

Let’s find out in this week’s review, recap, and real-time reactions. Feel free to leave your thoughts about this episode in the comments below!

Vincenzo Episode 10 Review & Recap

Well folks, we finally got to the moment we’ve all been waiting for since we learned that Joon-woo was the real boss behind Babel. It seems like Vincenzo now knows of his identity too. Key word: seems.

Vincenzo episode 10 was a direct continuation of the previous episode as Team Vincenzo sought answers to who Babo is in an effort to take down the conglomerate. They got sidetracked as a pile of dead bodies were left on their way to finding out the truth. Director Gil, the only person who knew about Babo, was killed. And of course, the families of Babel’s victims had apparently taken their own lives.

In an unsurprising revelation, it was actually Joon-woo who was behind their murder and eventual cover-up. Vincenzo and Cha-young took care of that problem pretty quickly as they tracked down the dirty police officers who were bribed into declaring it was suicide. In a throwback to the fourth episode, they eventually fessed up after being kidnapped by Vincenzo.

At the moment, it felt satisfying to watch them do the whole shtick again to get some sort of justice for the victims. But looking back, I can’t believe they got over their grief pretty quickly. It was a similar situation to Hong Yu-chan’s death where you knew it was a huge L for Team Vincenzo, but they were able just to bounce back right after that.

Thankfully though, their deaths were what triggered certain events that led to the intense closing moments of the episode. So it was not all in vain!

The police did end up running a legitimate investigation into the families’ cause of death. From some video footage, Vincenzo was able to piece together that they were tazed and killed inside a tunnel by Babel. He would use this piece of information later to lure out Babo.

It was the final step to his master plan in Vincenzo episode 10 which also involved getting in the minds of Joon-woo’s underlings. Yes, all three of them — Ms. Choi, Jang Han-seo, and Han Seung-hyeok — were placed in some high pressure situations by our protagonists. With the help of the Geumga Plaza tenants, Cha-young and Vincenzo planned to take some shots against Babel and Wusang.

Their first order of business was streaming a talk show that threatened to expose the companies. More than that, they were able to get under the skin of Joon-woo’s Devils (get it, like Charlie’s Angels?) by making jokes about them. Cha-young even dared to mock Ms. Choi’s dance moves. The audacity!

While it did succeed in pissing them off, Joon-woo knew what they were up to and didn’t think much of it.

The talk show was more Cha-young’s thing, so Vincenzo decided to take things to another level that was more his style. He made some loaded threats against all three of Joon-woo’s Devils and signing them off with a “C” in fake blood. Ms. Choi felt some major deja vu when she was once again frightened to near-death in the laundromat. This time though, it was by the Special Effects Guy pretending to be a zombie.

Han-seo’s scaredy-catness continues to be exposed when a toy truck with a timer (controlled by Chef Toto) chased him into the wall. When it reached zero, confetti came out of the truck along, as well as a small white flag signed with a “C”.

I especially loved how Han-seo’s threat went in. His greatness weakness has always been his cowardice, so it was nice seeing Vincenzo exploit that. But I also loved the callback to Ms. Choi’s threat and wish that she would change laundromats for her own benefit.

These tricks didn’t do anything to lure out Babo, so Vincenzo decided to take matter into his own hands. He told Cha-young he might just kill someone to get justice on the victims of which she was afraid would actually be true. She wouldn’t let him leave her side until Joon-woo lured her out of Vincenzo’s place… there was a lot of luring going on in this episode.

Vincenzo was actually planning something behind her back: using the talk show livestream, he threatened to expose what really happened to the victims’ families by going to the same tunnel where they had been killed. Joon-woo ordered some thugs to go after him.

In any case, Cha-young met up with him in a cafe since he had promised to give her some information about Wusang. When she got there though, he said he just wanted to eat with her. Suspicious, much?

Mr. Nam, Team Vincenzo’s third wheel, told Cha-young about Vincenzo’s plan and she was frantic. Of course, Vincenzo wasn’t picking up because he was too busy getting into a gun fight with the Babel thugs. She eventually broke down in tears as Joon-woo drove her to the tunnel. When they got there, Cha-young ran desperately to a slightly bloodied Vincenzo, who had been trying to get some information about Babo from one of the thugs; he saw someone named “Chairman” in the thug’s phone.

And then Vincenzo came out with the biggest bombshell of the episode: he knows who Babo is.

I really loved how the whole Babo thing played out. We still don’t know if Vincenzo actually figured out it was Joon-woo, or if the latter was able to make him think that it was someone else. Either way, what a way to end Vincenzo episode 10! This major development came at an appropriate time considering we’re at the halfway point already.

Is it the right time though? I thought our leads were going to find out Babo’s identity next week just because it felt right to do it then. There are still many episodes to go, so I hope the show hasn’t played all their cards yet. But to give them credit, they’ve been doing a great job making sure that important things every episode.

But what I am shocked by — if Vincenzo did figure out it correctly — is how he boldly revealed it in front of Joon-woo himself. It was an interesting choice that I did not expect. Wouldn’t the next logical step be to kidnap Joon-woo there and then? Isn’t that like an easy way to get rid of the problem?

And can we talk about Cha-young and Vincenzo for a second in that scene? How cute was that hug in the tunnel during snowfall? Cha-young was freaking worried AF about him when he wasn’t picking up his phone!

There was also a sweet moment between them earlier when she once again asked Vincenzo if he was going to leave after they take down Babel. What was pretty interesting this time was he didn’t answer her. He’s thinking about it! Which is a good sign. I want her to ask him that question from time to time until he says “no”.

But trouble will be in paradise soon because Joon-woo was able to dig up Vincenzo’s past in Italy. You know, the one that involved him killing a lot of people?

I think that Cha-young will learn about this fact soon, and she will be devastated. What does she expect dating someone from the mafia though?

Joon-woo was actually ecstatic that he was going against someone who was just as ruthless and violent as him. Someone who was not as ecstatic him though, was Jang Han-seo. Learning about Vincenzo being a consigliere frightened him.

In fact, Han-seo has been pretty scared and paranoid lately with all the hockey puck murders and whatnot. In a familiar situation is Seung-hyeok. They actually sat down together to process their trauma from the previous night… and maybe try and plan a coup against Joon-woo? At least that’s what Seung-hyeok is trying to do by planting seeds in Han-seo’s brain that he could be a better boss than his brother. Meanwhile, Joon-woo seems to have taken a liking to Ms. Choi’s devilish spirit, and she is just going to make good with him so she doesn’t end up dead.

There seems to be a growing rift within Team Babel-Wusang which was explored further in Vincenzo episode 10. There are a lot of possibilities with this new storyline, which I am excited for. I believe that Seung-hyeok will continue to manipulate Han-seo to make a move against Jang Joon-woo for the throne. If one of them doesn’t end up dead due to a failed coup attempt, I’ll eat my hat. I mean… the both of them seem to be disposable characters, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens.

Overall, Vincenzo episode 10 was packed with a lot of punches, literally and figuratively. As you can tell by the length of this review and recap, there were a lot of things tha went down. It felt like the fourth episode again with all the callbacks (e.g. kidnapping & Ms. Choi in the laundromat), the post-death revenge from Team Vincenzo, and a killer ending.

With Vincenzo discovering Babo’s real identity, and Joon-woo learning Vincenzo’s past, the game has been reset. Next week, it looks like we’re going to go back to the Geumga Plaza drama. The building tenants are adamant on staying there, and Park Seok-do from Babel E&C seems to be on the tenants’ side now. Time is ticking for Vincenzo because that demolition is coming soon.

Vincenzo Episode 10 Reactions

1. I haven’t Vincenzo this ~shocked since… well… forever.

2. So as we expected, it wasn’t a suicide. But watching Joon-woo and the gang plan out the victims’ deaths just made me think how really cruel this is.

3. Uh oh. The policeman just told Vincenzo they can do anything they want… that’s gonna bite him in the ass..

4. Oh wow, I didn’t expect Ms. Choi’s Partner in Glasses to show signs that he wanted out of Team Babel. It’s a deadlock among him, Ms. Choi, and Han-Seo on who’s going to turn against Joon-woo first.

5. Oh yes. I am here for this scene already. Remember how things went when Vincenzo kidnapped two guys in the fourth episode?

6. “I got limited edition shoes for this moment” – LOL, we’re only in the first twenty minutes and Cha-young is already out with her first killer catchphrase.

7. That kick had no room for error! Holy shit, I thought they were going to fall.

Cha-young sleeps over at Vincenzo’s again

8. Daaaaaaamn. Some internal plotting is happening within Team Babel-Wusang to possibly overthrow Joon-woo. Alright, this is interesting.

9. I can’t believe I’m gonna have to learn Ms. Choi’s Partner in Glasses soon. I think this is the first time we saw him in a scene without Ms. Choi.

10. Again… Vincenzo speaking Italian? Magnifico! I think it’s hilarious how his Italian friends randomly show up from time to time though.

11. I bet Cha-young opened the window on purpose to let the birds in so that Vincenzo would sleep beside her again.

12. Well, Vincenzo didn’t say anything now when Cha-young asked if he was gonna stay after they take down Babo. That’s a promising sign!

13. Aaaaww, he stared at her while she slept in front of him. He loves her.

The tenants want to help Team Vincenzo

14. I loved this accountant since the first moment we saw her.

15. This policeman is so committed to his role as Chef Toto’s protege. I hope he quits his real job to work for him permanently.

16. It looks like the line is drawn. It’s going to be Joon-woo and Ms. Choi vs. Han-seo and Seung-hyeok (finally learned his name for real).

17. I love the idea of using “collective intelligence” to try and take down Babel. I’m sure Vincenzo could use the Weightlifting Fairy in his missions.

18. Uh oh, Chef Toto mentioned the gold in front of Vincenzo!

19. Why do I have a feeling that these Babel E&C losers will eventually side with the tenants?

The talk show

20. These masks and set designs remind me of skits we do for class presentations.

21. I didn’t even know Seung-hyeok was the CEO of Wusang until now.

22. It’s funny how Ms. Choi’s biggest weakness is her insecurity about her dancing skills.

23. They’re really making use of everything they’ve got in their disposal… even the man who does zombie make-up. Ms. Choi should really switch laundromats.

24. Great strategy by Vincenzo to go after the three underlings.

25. Just a thought: how are they not suspecting Joon-woo at all? Or even asking him questions?

The Twin Swords Gang warn the tenants

26. #JoonWooKnows about Vincenzo’s violent past… and I think he’s turned on by it.

27. Joon-woo is soooo gonna tell Cha-young about it, won’t he? *grabs popcorn*

28. Here we go! I think he’s gonna tell her about Vincenzo and I am READY FOR THE FIREWORKS.

29. These thugs came after Chef Toto, and his protege shouted “my master’s enemy!” – LOL.

30. Park Seok-do has now officially sided with the tenants! It’s a redemption arc if I ever saw one.

31. WTF at Mr. Tak and his scissors? LMAO you go, boy!

32. The reactions of the tenants are exactly mine!

Vincenzo finds out who Babo is

33. It might’ve actually been a blessing in disguise that Joon-woo called Cha-young because that allowed Vincenzo to lure out Babel on his terms.

34. The action scenes in Vincenzo are actually pretty dope.

35. CALL THE CHAIRMAN, VINCENZO!

36. This tunnel scene with the snow and stuff is gorgeous.

37. Wait, Vincenzo knows? How?!!! WHAT?!
