After way too many sleepless nights and passive-aggressive emails from managers about sleeping at work, I\u2019ve finally found the perfect K-drama for the novices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His name is Vincenzo. Vincenzo Cassano.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the age of 8, Park Joo-Hyeong went to Italy after he was adopted. Years later, he goes by the name of Vincenzo Cassano and is a lawyer.<br>Not just any lawyer though. He is a consigliere, a lawyer for the Italian Mafia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When inter-mafia wars break out, Vincenzo escapes to South Korea, where he ends up dealing with corrupt businesses, officials, and the occasional thug, in true mafia-style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Vincenzo | Official Trailer | Netflix [ENG SUB]\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S12-4mXCNj4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s why you should drop everything and watch Vincenzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason number 1: Vincenzo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mlybgetq2uip.i.optimole.com\/tf1vXHs-AXTKeuDn\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:auto\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/buzzzing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/vincenzo-ep-20-1620484285.jpg?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6218\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>INSTAGRAM\/TVNDRAMA.OFFICIAL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While many shows exist with morally grey characters, it\u2019s very rare that a show crafts a character like Vincenzo.
