Wow, talk about news from way left field. K-ent is reporting that K-actor Song Joong Ki is in serious talks for his drama return in the upcoming tvN drama Vincenzo slated to air in December 2020. He met with the PD last week for a multi-hour meeting already. The drama is a romantic comedy about a mob consigliere who escapes back to South Korea from Italy due to mob politics and falls in love with a female lawyer. Song Joong Ki will play the titular male lead Vincenzo Casano, a lawyer and total Italian man who only resembles a Korean in looks. He’s suave and sophisticated and plays a powerful role to his bosses, but circumstances send him back to Korea and he crosses paths and falls for a rookie young lawyer with talks that young actress Jeon Yeo Bin will plays this role. It’s from the PD of Money Flower and The Crowned Clown and the screenwriter of God’s Quiz, Chief Kim, and The Fiery Priest. All I can say is…..I’m soooooo in! If this was a money I have to pay to see in theaters I would be throwing wads of cash at the screen and yelling “take my money!” Song Joong Ki is back in drama land woo hoo!
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

The plot sounds interesting. After seeing his performance in Arthdal. I can say that SJK is not only about baby face. He can play as Psycho character as Lord Saya in Arthdal. Give me plus point on his acting skill. So Im looking forward to see it
Ayy. He's been "not just a babyface" ever since his performance as young King Sejong in Tree With Deep Roots back in 2011. It's his post military performances that have been dud after dud.
Well, he first got my attention in SSKS then I saw him again in TWDR and I went, WOW! This young man really draws you in and the rest is history. I do hope he keeps moving forward.
The psycho Lord Saya is very fascinating, and I loove his portrayal of the young king Sejong in TWDR! The character description in this drama suits SJK so much, and yes, SIG too. Glad to see he gets more offers now. Good luck SJK
Sounds like a part of it, at least the beginning, has to be filmed in Italy? How're they going to do that with current issues but it being slated to air at the end of this year?
Not so sure about this pairing. Female lead in only one lead role so far in drama. Really hope SJK can pull off the smooth operator, suave sophisticated Italian speaking Korean. Why do I feel that this role will suit SIG really well too? Don't shoot me SJK fans. Just kidding. I can't help it as SIG as Shopping King Louie can speak French, German, Spanish and Japanese in one scene. Anyways all cheers for SJK if it works out.
Didn't he drop another project recently because he had to focus on his upcoming movies?
This won't start filming anytime soon. He can finish his film first.
So many dramas are lining up for 2020-21.i don't why but l feel like kdrmas lost their touch in recent years.there are few good dramas.but lost the addiction in kdrama.i was someone who doesn't liked chinese drama & said kdrmas are far better.but now i started to like them. I feel like something lost in kdrama.but now looking at line up in dramas & good casting, i think kdrmas are BacK to track.hope to see more actors who are in break come BacK.young actors/actress didnt captivating me. I don't know why.May be iam wrong also??.
u are not wrong, I used to spend my time at soompi to share my thought on my favourite dramas, but now kdramas are simply unwatchable, a snore-fest at best.
@Smiley
I feel the same way too. There’s a dearth of good k-dramas these days unlike their heyday a few years ago. I’ve spoken to a lot of people who share this sentiment. And yes, it is true that the C-ent have caught up. Up until a year and a half ago, I was an exclusive K-drama watcher. Sadly they began to pall, so I moved onto C-dramas. But they too also have their own issues (some are poor quality, and they regurgitate the same plot in multiple dramas), I’m getting tired of watching them, so I’m checking out the K-drama landscape once more. There have been a few gems lately like Itaewon Class, Hospital Playlist and I’m currently enjoying Its Ok To Not Be Okay. But I can’t help wishing there were more good k-dramas like the old days?.
What are your favorites/dramas you’ll recommend from the old days?
@adal Could it possibly be your drama taste has changed? The gem dramas you listed are new gen, new type dramas which can't be found in old kdramas. Older kdramss were mostly romance with a tsundere lead.
@Tan - It’s possible that my taste have changed over the years, or I could be more discerning, having watched dramas for years. I can easily spot what I don’t like by the second or third episode. So I drop dramas more easily. Btw - I was never a huge fan of the tsundere chaebol romance or revenge themed dramas.

Props to SJK for taking on diff roles! I'm all in for this - sjk, plot, pd, writer
I loved her so much in Be Melodramatic! She was my favourite character and her chemistry with the weird Son Seok Koo was great.
