The Characters
Vincenzo Cassano
(Song Joong-ki · 송중기)
This cold-blooded strategist with the perfect poker face is loyal to the boss and the mafia family. He gets his work done outrageously and makes it impossible for one to deny his offer.
Vincenzo is a revenger who pays back his sufferings. He also has exceptional martial arts skills but never reveals them to anyone unless necessary.
He's Korean on the outside but Italian on the inside. Vincenzo loves fashion, paintings, opera, football and pasta. He has good manners towards women but does not believe in love.
Vincenzo, a man with passion inside, changes unconsciously and finds himself fighting against injustice after meeting Cha-young.
Hong Cha-young
(Jeon Yeo-been · 전여빈)
Cha-young is a lawyer at the top firm in South Korea and possesses wisdom and beauty.
She has a cold code of conduct and only views success and force as her driving force of development. She doesn't have any interest in justice.
So how does she end up fighting for injustice with Vincenzo? We'll have to watch and see the story unfold.
Jang Jun-woo
(Ok Taec-yeon · 옥택연)
A handsome intern attorney at the same law firm as Cha-young is innocent but still very awkward at work.
Having studied abroad, he sometimes fails at addressing colleagues and supervisors in proper business Korean, but he never has ill intentions
Jun-woo is very direct about liking Cha-young and follows her around.
His dream was to go on dates after work, drinking beer and eating chicken, but it shatters to pieces when Cha-young leaves the firm and sees Vincenzo around her all the time.

Sources say he was also very impressed with Jeon Yeo-been's acting of Hong Cha-young. In the process of working together, he said, "She's crazy*. She is a natural-born actress."
*"Crazy" could have a very positive connotation in Korean depending on the context.
Evil And Justice Aren't Just Black And White
Incorporating comedy, action and humanitarian elements, Vincenzo is a pleasant and energetic script.
The drama does a good job of presenting the message, "There is no absolute evil and justice."

This process brings viewers a sense of pleasantness, which is the biggest highlight of the drama.
