Which TV show follows a former Italian Mafia consigliere who returns to his South Korean homeland to reclaim a hidden stash of gold, only to find himself entangled with a corrupt conglomerate and a quirky group of building tenants?

The television series that perfectly fits this description is "Vincenzo (Review)." This popular South Korean drama centers on Vincenzo Cassano, a charismatic and ruthless Italian Mafia consigliere of Korean descent. After a power struggle within his adoptive Italian crime family, Vincenzo flees to his birth country, South Korea, with the primary goal of retrieving a massive stash of gold secretly hidden beneath Geumga Plaza, an old commercial building in Seoul.

Upon his arrival, Vincenzo finds his plans complicated by the formidable and corrupt Babel Group, a powerful conglomerate attempting to illegally take over Geumga Plaza. To protect his hidden fortune, he forms an unlikely alliance with the plaza's eccentric and diverse group of tenants, who are also fighting against Babel's schemes, and a feisty lawyer named Hong Cha-young. The series then unfolds as Vincenzo, using his cunning and mafia tactics, battles the conglomerate, delivering his own brand of "justice" against those who operate above the law.

"Vincenzo" is recognized for its unique blend of dark comedy, crime thriller elements, and even romance. The show, which premiered in 2021, gained significant international popularity, particularly through Netflix. An interesting production detail is that the elaborate scenes set in Italy were actually created using computer graphics due to filming limitations at the time. Actor Song Joong-ki, who portrays the titular character, even learned Italian for his role, adding to the authenticity of his portrayal as a sophisticated yet dangerous anti-hero.
