EPISODES SUMMARY:

Episode 1: Vincenzo Cassano, The Consigliere

The first scene showcases Song Joong-ki standing on a bridge and wanted a building to be destroyed, before going in to the story, I am overwhelmed to see song Joong-ki after Arthdal chronicles. Being an ardent fan of joong-ki, I want this drama to be a grand success after DOTS.

Let’s see our song Joong-ki’s power packed actions through my words. 

He wanted to tear down a building. He says this with full of vengeance. The building then collapses right before his eyes whereas he gives his usual big boss reaction. 

Here comes a flashback and it says,

72 hours, in Italy! Vincenzo Cassano(Song Joong-ki), consigliere, a legal advisor of an Italian Mafia’s boss. After getting ready, he goes to a place, Grecco Vineyard which is secured by full of armed men.

An air vehicle approaches the place, Grecca Vineyard, and sprays something! When the men were casual as they believed it to be pesticides. Vincenzo throws lighter and the whole vineyard is set ablaze. Just in a blink, the whole place becomes ashes. He immediately goes to his boss funeral, and pays his tribute. His face shows that he is quite shaken by his death and the way he calls him as father says the emotional bonding between them. Boss son questions his actions on the vineyard incident. He rebukes by saying that it could have been done atleast after the funeral. Vincenzo answered that it was his boss’s last order and he wanted him to do that by all means. But son could not tolerate vincenzo actions as he feels that burning down the entire vineyard is a stupid decision. But all his answer is that he did what he was ordered. It seems like there is a cold-war between paolo (son) and vincenzo as paolo feels that his own father trust vincenzo more, than himself. 

A murder attempt on vincenzo is thwarted by his own prudential execution. He killed whomsoever trying to kill him. He threatens paolo by exploding his favorite car right before his eyes. He also expresses his willingness to end this cold-War by moving out of Italy once for all. 

He flies to Seoul and keeps an eye on Geumga Plaza.
