Episode Highlights
Episode 4: The Party
This episode marks a major turning point. After the shocking murder of Hong Yoo-chan, Hong Cha-young and Vincenzo officially team up, with Cha-young taking over her father's firm. The episode culminates in a lavish party hosted by Babel Group, which Vincenzo crashes in spectacular fashion. He uses his knowledge of the Italian mafia to orchestrate a 'grape-harvesting' incident that humiliates the company's puppet chairman and sends a clear message that he is a formidable opponent.
This is the first major joint operation for Vincenzo and Cha-young, cementing their partnership. It establishes the show's signature blend of high-stakes tension and dark comedy and showcases Vincenzo's strategic brilliance and flair for the dramatic.
Episode 8: The Reveal
The episode features a tense courtroom battle where Vincenzo and Cha-young cleverly turn the tables on Babel Pharmaceuticals. However, the most significant moment is the shocking reveal at the end. The goofy legal intern Jang Joon-woo is revealed to the audience as Jang Han-seok, the true, psychopathic chairman of Babel Group, brutally murdering a prosecutor who was about to expose him.
This twist completely re-frames the narrative, elevating the stakes and revealing the true nature of the enemy. It transforms a seemingly comedic side character into the primary antagonist and one of the most memorable K-drama villains.
Episode 14: Inzaghi's Revenge
While dealing with the fallout of being framed, Vincenzo is attacked in his home by assassins. In a moment of dire need, he is saved by an unlikely ally: Inzaghi, the pigeon he had always shooed away. The bird summons its flock to attack and distract the killer, allowing Vincenzo to gain the upper hand. The episode also deepens the bond between Vincenzo and Cha-young.
This episode is beloved by fans for its unique and comedic twist on a classic action trope. It solidifies the theme of finding allies in unexpected places and provides a moment of levity and heart amidst rising tension.
Episode 16: The Mother's Trial
This is one of the most emotionally devastating episodes. Vincenzo's birth mother, Oh Gyeong-ja, whom he had been visiting in the hospital, is murdered on Jang Han-seok's orders. This personal attack pushes Vincenzo past his limits, unleashing his full mafia persona. The episode ends with him brutally torturing and killing those directly responsible, followed by him confronting Choi Myung-hee and Jang Han-seok, vowing to make them suffer.
This episode marks the point of no return for Vincenzo. The loss of his mother strips away the last vestiges of his restraint, turning his fight from a strategic game into a deeply personal and brutal war of vengeance. It sets the stage for the series' violent and cathartic climax.
Episode 20: Finale
In the final episode, Vincenzo delivers his ultimate judgment on the villains. He uses creatively brutal, mafia-style executions tailored to their sins: Choi Myung-hee is killed in a way that mirrors her favorite dance, and Jang Han-seok is subjected to a slow, agonizing death by the 'Spear of Atonement'. After cleaning the slate, Vincenzo escapes to Malta, but not before a heartfelt farewell with Hong Cha-young, promising a reunion.
The finale delivers on the show's premise of 'evil fighting evil', providing a cathartic, albeit dark, conclusion where the villains receive their just desserts outside the bounds of the law. It solidifies Vincenzo's status as a true anti-hero and provides an emotionally satisfying, if bittersweet, ending for his relationship with Cha-young and the Geumga family.
