How does Vincenzo end?
We’ve covered the ending pretty substantially in our episode 20 recap. The link to that can be found at the bottom of this page! Long story short though, Vincenzo thwarts the threat of Han-Seok and the other Babel Group cronies. He tortures Han-Seok and kills him. Vincenzo flees back to Italy to evade the police, where he grows from consigliere to crime boss. His time in Korea has softened him slightly though, with Vincenzo turning his attention to the “garbage” of the world. He wants to take them out before they hurt any innocent people.
Who dies in the Vincenzo finale?
There are a whole string of deaths in the final chapter, starting with Prosecutor Jung thrown off the rooftop onto the hood of his car in episode 19. This essentially paved way for a host of other characters to die in the finale. Han-Seo died thanks to his brother shooting him in the stomach. Han-Seok then hired two goons to stab Seung-Hyeuk at the courthouse. He received a knife wound to the stomach and another to the shoulder. Seung-Hyeuk’s death is suitably flamboyant and showy; something that mirrored his character traits throughout the season. Vincenzo then tortures Myung Hee and makes sure she dies slowly. After cutting her feet open, he has gasoline poured on her head from sprinklers and sets her alight. He plays Zumba music and let her dance while she burnt to death. This is another symbolic death, with Myung-Hee’s dancing a key part of her character. Vincenzo then used the “spear of atonement” against Han-Seok; a torture device with a drill attached on the end. This killed him slowly over time in the most painful way possible.
What happened to the Italians?
Vincenzo paid off the Italians in episode 19 with a hefty sum of money. He drew up a contract and paid them 80 million euros. This squared the debt and stopped him being chased – it also allowed him to stay in Korea and fight against Babel group. However, Vincenzo did kill several members of the Luciano family during the year time-jump. It seems he resolved some bad blood there and used them as manure when he head back to Italy.
What happened to Inzaghi?
The lovable pigeon Inzaghi was last seen in episode 17 when Vincenzo fed him on the windowsill of his apartment. Ultimately, this bird has been a symbol of karma, an important spiritual connection between good and bad. Every time Vincenzo did something good and helpful for the bird, he in turn was given good karma. Likewise, early on he was disrespectful and nasty to the pigeon and received bad luck. This all culminated with Inzaghi helping Vincenzo by bringing in a whole flock of pigeons to take out the agents on the rooftop. Interestingly, Han-Seok’s final shot with the crow pecking at him could be interpreted as his own Inzaghi of sorts or a reincarnation of Han-Seo. Either way, we’ll leave that to your own interpretation!
Where is the gold being stored? What happened to it?
Across episode 20 we saw shots of gold bars hidden in Mi-Ri’s piano. However, the gold was actually being stored in Cha-Young’s house. This was a temporary measure though as Vincenzo decided to use the gold to buy an island and secure comfortable living for his Cassano family. The other residents don’t get a part of this stake – at least if the episode is anything to go by.
What happened to Vincenzo Cassano in the year time-jump?
This is a point of contention and not something that’s explained in much detail across the episode. We do learn Vincenzo was made a crime boss and rose the ranks. He’s also expanded his operation to take over olive fields in Malta. This is, of course, a bit of a throwback to the early episode 1 scene. If you’ll remember, Cassano drove past numerous fields to meet that powerful Italian contact. Now it seems he has ascended to that same level of power.
What happened to the Geumga Plaza residents?
Cheol-Sook survived his knife-wound and ended up looking after his beautiful baby boy with Yeon-Jin after all. Mr An and Mr Cho ended up working together with Director Tae. The monks also rebranded their temple to become a place for marriage proposals. This is also a nice nod toward George Anderson and his wife, who ended up proposing there earlier in the season. The rest of the residents continue to fight the good fight, standing up for what’s right and presenting themselves as the Cassano Geumga Residents!
Is there a post credit sequence?
No, there’s no post-credit sequence although we do receive a lovely montage of all our characters at the end during the final credits.
Do Cha Young and Vincenzo kiss at the end?
Yes! The pair do finally kiss away from the numerous eyes watching them at the art gallery earlier in the season. This passionate kiss takes place during their one-day reunion at the Italian-Korean diplomacy meeting.
Why wasn’t Geumga Plaza destroyed? Didn’t we see it collapse in episode 1?
Yes we did, early on in the season we saw Vincenzo Cassano watch as Geumga Plaza was destroyed. Now, this appears to be one big vision and not at all indicative of the truth. This could well have been his way of processing what would happen if he failed to get the gold.
Will there be Vincenzo season 2?
It’s unlikely we’ll see this one back for a follow-up. Most Korean dramas aren’t renewed for a second season but if this changes, we’ll update the page accordingly!
