Actor Song Joong-ki is returning to the small screen as a lawyer and an Italian mafia consigliere in the drama
Vincenzo this Saturday (available on Netflix).
Vincenzo centres on the story of an antihero named Vincenzo Cassano, who fights against the villains of society with veteran lawyer Hong Cha-young, played by actress Jeon Yeo-been. Vincenzo takes on villains who have escaped the clutches of the law by being more evil than the criminals.
“I don’t think I’m alone when I say there are many bad people from various fields in the news these days. When I first got the synopsis, there were a couple of lines by the screenwriter that stated the purpose of the drama. I’ve never agreed more to a drama screenwriter’s purpose of criticising society in a humorous way, ” Song said during an online press conference on Monday (Feb 15).
