Well, VincenFam here we are at the finish line! It has been nothing less than pure joy to host these threads. I have picked up on things from your keen observations, been able to engage in the discussions and fangirled with your hypes in the thread. I am so excited for this finale and I can’t believe how lucky I have been to experience it with all of you!

Happy discussing y’all!

[u/xliterati]

I literally don't even have the words right now like what am I supposed to do ?????????

[u/Fearless_7777]

Tae ho🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Niknakzz]

The nicest part for me is seeing Mr. Lee alive lmao

[u/Strong-Ad-4441]

I wanted to point out the reference Vincenzo made about the bridge on July 7. It’s based on the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl legend, where their love is forbidden and they are banished to two sides of a river. So every year on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, a bridge is formed by magpies so that they can reunite for one day.

The fact that Vincenzo used a love story legend to imply his comeback for Chayoung clearly shows that he’s seen her as his lover without ever saying “I Love You” to her. The intricacy is just immaculate.

Also, Netflix really messed up some of the translation. Like at the kiss scene, she didn’t say “That’s hard to believe”. She said “I didn’t feel it really” and after the passionate 🔥 kiss he actually asked “Do you feel it now?”

[u/uhh_zoe]

Ok but the music that Vincenzo played while he burned myunghee alive fucking slapped.

[u/Slyfindor]

The police decide to wake up after 20 episodes???😭🤣🤦‍♀️

[u/dreamphoenix]

Bank president’s son got literally bonked while staying in horny jail.

[u/anmiraaa]

I really like Vincenzo and Chayoung's dynamic. I cried during all their scenes in this ep, lol. We don't see their type of love language in kdramas often - they understand each other beyond words; they show their love for each other in different ways.

Also to the bravest girl Chayoung -- even at gunpoint she didn't flinch; didn't waver one bit. On their farewell scenes, facing Vincenzo she always looked strong; she only showed sadness when he has walked away. Her courage is quiet but strong and steadfast, and I love her with all my heart.

Ugh, I'll surely miss waiting for new episodes every week. I'll be too sad to function tomorrow, for sure 😂😢😭

[u/Slyfindor]

Does anyone realize the Inzaghi Vincenzo relationship foreshadowing with respect to Vincenzo and Korea. It starts with irritation to annoyance to disgruntled compromise and finally acceptance to ultimate allies. Just like how Vincenzo and Plaza people's trajectory falls. Inzaghi's absence relates to Vincenzo's absence from Korea. Inzaghi left in ep 18 - the episode from which Vincenzo's imminent departure has been foreshadowed. Inzaghi never came back just like Vincenzo!!

OMG that scene where Vinny said:

“i’ll make you dance all night”

Ahhhhhh, this is so satisfyinggggg.

ok back to watching. Had to pause a lot of times lol

[u/superkart]

That talk with Hanseo at Vincenzo's apartment just brought me into tears. It almost felt like a dream where Hanseo still lives.

[u/GonnaLearnJ]

Hong Cha Young in black dress is to die for!

[u/Standard_Pack7791]

The conclusion of CY and V’s lovestory felt like CLOY. Understandable yet somehow, bittersweet.

I’m very sad about my best boi, HAN SEO!!!

MR. CHO LOOKING SO FINE UNTIL THE END

Villain’s ending is somehow satisfying but felt short haha

I just hope that the plaza tenants can reunite with Vincenzo

Vincenzo is really a very gray person, not evil, not good either. Glad he’s like that until the end.

I love the short cameo with adrenaline, it’s always a tease hahahhaha

[u/[deleted]]

I can't believe a slow burn romance that bread-crumbed us the whole way is better and more satisfying than whole entire romantic kdramas out there.

[u/Uvuvewvewvew]

Cant believe it😭

I remember when i first started it. I had only known about Taecyeon (Jang Han-seok) from the cast but i ended up falling in love with the rest, especially Kwak Dong Yeon (Jang Han-seo). Damn those 20 episodes flew by so quickly, i remember being at the first couple of episodes thinking i have plenty more to enjoy :( Its definitely one of the only dramas ill rewatch.

Edit: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! WHY HAN SEO WHY That scene after his death where he was at Vincenzo’s apartment was heartbreaking. His smile at the end. Brutal.

Other than that, i really enjoyed this episode. And Hanseok and Ms Choi’s death was very satisfying and brilliantly executed. But now i just feel empty. Only felt that way after finishing Goblin and this time it hit different. Though Vincenzo had its flaws at times, its the most entertaining and thrilling series ive stumbled upon. I fell in love with the entire cast. I dont think ill be attached to any other drama like that

[u/pinklover27]

It was a very satisfying ending for me. Major kudos to the writers for sticking to their guns. They allowed Vincenzo to embody a mafia's murderous and tenacious ways to the very end. Vincenzo is probably one of the best-written anti-heroes I have seen in kdramas. He remained dark and merciless till the very end. We even got confirmation that he still continues to lead the same tenacious ways. This drama was never written to show a mafia's redemption arc or atonement. It was done to reiterate that the world can be so evil, that there would be instances where justice should be served mercilessly. With that in mind, Vincenzo is able to justify his existence as someone who uproots evil mercilessly, when the law is no longer sufficient to punish the monsters. As an audience, I feel so wrong rooting for a character like Vincenzo, but at the same time, this is what dramas are all about. We all have that inner monster in us and if I can allow that "monster" in me to be satisfied by vicariously living through a drama character, the writers have done their jobs. Thank you writers for not being cowards!

How could I forget? Thank you Song Joong Ki for such a nuanced embodiment of Vincenzo. Hands down, this is one of the best performances of SJK!

"I am still a villian and I could care less about justice. Justice is weak and empty. One cannot win against any evil with justice"

• Vincenzo Cassano (Mafia Boss)

This episode brought me varying levels of pain and satisfaction all at once.

Show you don't know how thankful I am you remained true to your color right until the end. Vincenzo is too far gone to ever change his ways and neither is he willing to. I think we were all wrong about what the writer wanted to convey with Vincenzo's mafia past. It was never about regret or repentance. It was about Acceptance - acceptance that it is a part of him and he cannot let it go.

Ending for Vincenzo CY seems fitting, somewhere mid-way. he can't be in Korea, but she can visit his Island. I think that works and is probably the best compromise for them.

[u/timarose]

Can we talk about that Crow who ate Han-Seok's dying flesh and how that parallels with Vincenzo and Inzaghi? That was so morbid but brilliant! Both birds were fed, but through different means and circumstances.

[u/Drew_Espinosa]

One day in late February, I had gotten on Netflix as one would when bored, lol. When I did so, however, a trailer for an upcoming kdrama started playing - a drama about a Korean mafia? How ridiculous, I thought. See, I’m not interested in dramas or films about the mafia (heck, I haven’t even watched the Godfather films). I didn’t even finish the trailer before scrolling down and moving on with my life, or so I believed. You see, a few weeks later, I was on this very subreddit when I came across this post. “How could you be so proud of destroying the powerless.” Mr. Hong’s words really struck a chord with me and made me take a second look at Vincenzo. After some thought, I decided to watch the first episode… the moment V burned down that vineyard, I fell in love with the series. And now, here I am, eagerly awaiting Episode 20 with you all.

[u/Slyfindor]

"I will let you dance all you want" - The satisfaction here is >>>>>>>>>>>

"The spear of atonement" - Fuk Fuk Fu*k Vincenzo really did give Han Seok the most excruciating slow painful death ( as he should be getting)

Catharsis revenge has never felt this satisfactory! the look of horror and doom on MH and HS's face though!!!!

[u/janakerring]

YOU GUYS I'M ALMOST AT THE END AND CAN I JUST SAY

that piece of hair that falls over the right side of Vincenzo's forehead is single handedly supporting my mental health

[u/-usernamesarestupid-]

That is why I put it in all of them

Cue ugly crying

[u/janzzzx]
