Synopsis

At the age of eight, Park Joo-hyung (Song Joong-ki) is adopted by an Italian family, but the family later dies tragically in an accident. Joo-hyung joins the mafia and is adopted by Don Fabio, head of the Cassano Family who treats him like a son. Renamed “Vincenzo Cassano” he becomes a lawyer, a consigliere for the mafia, and Don Fabio’s right-hand man. After Fabio dies, Paolo, Fabio’s biological son and the new leader of the Cassano Family attempts to kill his adoptive brother out of jealousy because Fabio favoured him over his own biological son.

Vincenzo flees to Seoul and sets out to recover gold bullion worth ₩150 billion ($110 million), that he helped his business partner (a recently-dead Chinese tycoon) secretly stash within a hidden basement under Geumga Plaza, a commercial building in South Korea. During an inspection of the building, he discovers that he needs to demolish the place to retrieve the buried gold. However, a subsidiary of a large pharmaceutical corporation Babel Group has illegally taken ownership of the building with the intention of demolishing it to build a business building. Unwilling to let the gold to fall into the hands of Babel Group, Vincenzo must use his skills to reclaim the building and recover his fortune.

Among the quirky tenants at Geumga Plaza is the Jipuragi Law Firm run by Hong Yoo-chan (Yoo Jae-myung) in which Vincenzo finds he has aligned interests. At first he comes into conflict with Hong Yoo-chan’s daughter, Hong Cha-young (Jeon Yeo-been), an attorney for a rival firm, Wusang, that defends Babel Group. Under the order of the top legal advisor of Babel, Hong Yoo-chan is murdered in the middle of the street. Enraged, Cha-young angrily resigns from her firm and takes over Jipuragi and teams up with Vincenzo to take down Babel. It is revealed that Hong Yoo-chan is killed because he managed to discover that Babel Group is a shell company for a drug cartel and left some clues for his daughter and Vincenzo to find.

When Vincenzo later finds himself getting entangled in a bigger issue with Babel internally, he realizes that conventional legal method cannot do anything against a powerful corporation like Babel, and uses skills he learned in the mafia to fight the corporation, including kidnapping and torturing Babel employees for intel, as well as recruiting the tenants from Geumga Plaza to help him. He also starts persuading mistreated employees of Babel to be their allies to destroy the Corporation from within. Eventually, Vincenzo manages to find a way into the gold vault underneath the building without having to demolish it. Aside from the gold, he stumbles upon a USB left behind by his deceased business partner called the Guillotine file containing incriminating pieces of evidence against Korean politicians, civil servants, and the Babel Group. As both the corrupted politicians and Babel Group finds out about the Guillotine file, they seek to obtain it and destroy it while Vincenzo dodges their attacks by being several steps ahead of them.

After shooting Cha-young, Han-seok sees an opportunity to shoot and effectively murder Vincenzo once and for all, but at the last second, Han-seo grabs the gun and points it at himself, prompting Han-seok to shoot his brother before escaping while Vincenzo acknowledges Han-seo as the latter dies. Later, Vincenzo looks after a recovering Cha-young at the hospital. Elsewhere on the next day, Seung-hyuk, ordered by Vincenzo, releases Myung-hee from prison in exchange for his life being spared but Han-seok learns of this deal and has Seung-hyuk killed regardless. However, Myung-hee and Han-seok are both being tracked and tailed, with Myung-hee being cornered by Vincenzo in her apartment, tied to a chair with mangled feet, sprayed with fuel and burnt to death. Meanwhile, Han-seok and his men are confronted by the Geumga Plaza tenants, and while Chul-wook is stabbed, Han-seok is eventually knocked out, enabling Vincenzo to capture him. Vincenzo explains that Han-seo’s critical thinking before his death allowed Vincenzo to hunt him down, afterwards revealing a drill that would gradually impale his body before leaving him to die.

The first script reading took place on January 5, 2021.[41]

The drama serves as a reunion project for Kwak Dong-yeon and Kim Yeo-jin who both starred in the 2018 drama My Strange Hero. This drama also reunites Ok Taec-yeon and Jeon Yeo-been who worked together in Save Me (2017).

The series was planned to be partially shot in Italy but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, related scenes were augmented with CGI.[42]

Episodes 17 and 18 were delayed one week due to the production team wanting to “improve quality” of the episodes.[43]
