Almost every one of my actor baes came back with a K-drama in 2020 but Song Joong Ki was one of the few who didn’t. But he’s primed on deck to be one of the first in 2021 as filming has commenced for early 2021 tvN drama Vincenzo. I don’t think the cast can travel to Italy for the overseas shoots but who knows, build a cute Italian villa set in South Korea and keep the good times rolling safely. Starring Song Joong Ki with Jeon Yeo Bin, Taecyeon, and Kwak Dong Yeon, the drama is about the leads fighting for social and societal justice as lawyers in South Korea, with the twist that Song Joong Ki’s character grew up in Italy and used to work for the mafia. The drama is helmed by the PD of The Crowned Clown, Money Flower, and Glamorous Temptation and screenwriter of The Fiery Priest, Chief Kim, and Good Doctor.
Lawyers fighting for justice with the twist that the leader lawyer used to work for the mafia?
That kinda sorta reminds me of LJK’s character in Lawless Lawyer. The byeonhosa with a kkangpae background. But damn, look at that PD-writer combo. I’ll look forward to this.
This will make me sound like a high school student, but Taecyeon is so handsome o.O
Hahaha he does!
Fiery Priest was not my cup of tea but Chief Kim and Good Doctor was. So, I’ll be looking forward to this. The director has good track record on what I’ve seen as well.
@Gem, what about Fiery Priest turned you off? Not judging, just curious.
The story and the comedy, I never warmed up to it. No specific reason, just wasn’t something I could follow through.
Oh okay.
Song Joong Ki hasn’t had the best of luck with his acting choices these past few years despite the massive momentum he amassed with DotS but here’s hoping that things will change because that PD + screenwriter combo is very promising.
(Although his last drama had my favorite PD + screenwriter combo too but that was a dud rating wise. Sigh. Ahhhh whatever, I hope this drama will be a solid one because I miss seeing him shine in a drama)
Definitely checking this drama out for my baby Taecyeon. He looks so good after getting out of the military. I hope his acting has improved as well lol. But even if it hasn’t I’d probably still check this out anyways. Taec is one of those artists who isn’t necessarily the best but his off screen charisma really shines through cause you can tell he’s one of the good guys.
I loved Jeon Yeo Bin so much in Be Melodramatic! Her character’s story was so touching and her chemistry with Son Seok Koo was very good, their conversations were so funny.
I’m happy to see Kwak Dong Yeon in a new role. He’s pretty good for crazy villain with a sad touch like in My Strange Hero. He did good in It’s Okay even if it was for just a little time.
