Vincenzo wasn’t filmed in Italy
The opening of the Korean drama sees titular character Vincenzo Cassano (Song Joong-Ki) in Italy, carrying out his role as a consigliere for the Italian mafia. The breath-taking landscape views and architecture that cites iconic Italian locations captured the viewers’ attention. Thus, it came as a surprise when the production team revealed that none of the cast or crew stepped foot in Italy to film the shots.

K Dramas are only as good as their supporting cast and
Vincenzo has probably the most loveable group of misfits to ever grace the screen.
Who can forget the Arno restaurant chef who only craves Vincenzo s approval of his latest risotto dish? I guess the basil and cheese are practising social distancing? a burn only a mafia consigliere can deliver. We re all going to miss the Bye Bye Balloon travel agency, our favourite piano teacher-slash-hacker, the slickest monks there ever were, and the rest of the unforgettable Geumga Plaza residents.
