Vincenzo Cassano was born in Korea but sent to Italy as a young child, and grew up to become a consigliere for the Italian mafia, fluent in both Korean and Italian. When a power struggle within his organization forces him back to his birth country, he arrives in Korea planning to wrap up business quickly and disappear again. Naturally, nothing about that plan survives contact with reality.
What he finds instead is a corrupt conglomerate quietly bulldozing an entire building full of small business owners, and Vincenzo, equal parts ruthless and oddly principled for a mob lawyer, decides to make it his problem. He teams up with Hong Cha-young, a fierce, morally flexible lawyer who is more than capable of matching his energy, and together they wage a deeply satisfying, frequently absurd war against corporate villainy using tactics that would make any actual lawyer reconsider their job.
The show leans hard into its premise from the very start. The fish-out-of-water culture clash, the eccentric tenants Vincenzo reluctantly becomes attached to, and the sheer style of watching a mafia consigliere apply Italian mob logic to Korean corporate corruption make for a genuinely brilliant opening stretch. It’s funny, smart, and confident in exactly what kind of story it wants to tell.
The series runs for 20 episodes.
Would I trust Vincenzo to fix my neighborhood’s corporate corruption problem? Absolutely, and I’d bring popcorn. Would I watch this with a cup of tea and something gluten-free? Every episode.
