That night, three men sneak into Vincenzo’s and shoot several rounds into his bed only to find it empty. As the new boss, Paolo wants his “brother’s” loyalty which Vincenzo would happily give were he to deserve it. Vincenzo goes straight to Fabio’s funeral where he stares at his open casket, calling him, “Father.” There’s tension between Fabio’s biological son Paolo and Vincenzo with Paolo whining about how his father trusted Vincenzo more. Emilio is very angry which we know by his intense gesticulating, grit teeth, and screams to the heavens. But rather than pesticides, it’s been spraying the grounds with lighter fluid that Vincenzo ignites by tossing his lighter behind him on the way out. When Emilio refuses complete with racist remarks, Vincenzo smiles and curses him in Korean before walking off.ĭuring their conversation, a plane has been flying overhead crop dusting. It’s less of an offer and more of a threat, really, since Emilio killed a close friend of Vincenzo’s boss Fabio. He’s driven to the heavily guarded mansion of someone named Emilio and presents him an offer from his recently deceased boss Fabio. A chyron tells us he’s the consigliere – or legal advisor – for the Cassano mafia family. VINCENZO CASSANO ( Song Joong-ki) stands staring at a building and proclaims, “My goal is to tear this building down.” We see it crumble to the ground.ħ2 hours earlier, Vincenzo wakes in Rome and readies for the day. And, of course, there’s Song Joong-ki being all dark and mysterious which doesn’t hurt. The wacky premise and cast of characters suggests we could be in for a lot of fun and hijinks. The premiere episode focuses predominantly on setup and introducing the large ensemble of characters central to the story.

But I have to say, it’s more coherent than I anticipated. Since the story is only beginning to take shape, it’s hard to know what to make of it yet. The tvN dark comedy Vincenzo starring Song Joong-ki as a mafioso sounded so bonkers that I just had to check it out. 187 FebruFebruVincenzo: Episode 1 by quirkycase
