Started really good, but disappointing final quarter and a one dimensional male lead

I literally created this account just to put my thoughts about this drama, because it is really frustrating. First, imma start with good things about this drama(first half and third quarter)and what disappoints me about it. One are the villains, the villains of this drama are really unpredictable and intimidating, but as the story progress and reaches the final quarter, they become p**sier towards the male lead, especially Jun Woo. I really liked Jun Woo from first half of the story, he is so intimidating, but on the final quarter they made him so terrified towards the male lead and if you compare that to where his character started, he became really off character, I expected him to become Vincenzo's moral code breaker (more on that later, because that's the most disappointing part of this story). Two, the side characters and the female lead, the side characters(I'm talking about the Geumga plaza residents and that ISIA guy btw) they also started really good comedic aspects of the story. As for the female lead I really liked her, I think she is the only one who has a good character development, because at first she is really annoying and whiney(i don't hate her because of that btw) but as the story progress she became more likable. They all have a huge flaw, they all supports Vincenzo's killing, nobody even give a crap if he kills let alone they have government official on their side, and that leads to the most disappointing part of the story, Vincenzo himself. Vincenzo was a really likable guy I really loved how he was so unpredictable, but at the final quarter he became so frustrating, his character is so inconsistent, like you don't know who tf he is anymore. I really thought and expected that they will make his arc similar to Kenshin's character(Rurouni Kenshin anime), I thought they have the same premise because that made me wanna watch this drama, I expected it to be a story about an ex hitman who wants to change because murdering people is not actually what they wanted and it actually torments him by doing it, but wtf happened? Wtf is the point of Vincenzo's haunting nightmares about his past killing if he will going to kill a bunch of people at the final quarter of the story? On top of that the Geumga plaza residents and the female lead even praise him for killng, especially they literally have a f-ing high rank government official on their side and he doesn't give a damn if Vincenzo, a mafia murders people. I really really expected that Vincenzo's moral code(not killing anymore) will be the story's final conflict(and not that stupid and overused romance bs). We all know that Vincenzo is untouchable and unkillable they should've made Vincenzo's weakness is his moral code, and Jun Woo will be the one breaking it by making himself get killed by Vincenzo(like The dark knight's conflict). And also for the final note about Vincenzo's disappointing character he is one dimensional, he literally didn't change a bit, he started a murderer he ended up a murderer, he didn't clean or do anything good other than pleasing himself by killing people, and he even lied about changing after that final scene featuring that unnecessary kiss.

There's still some really good things that didn't disappoints me, but that is not enough to save this drama for me this. 5.5 out of 10 could be lower but whatever.
