I can’t agree more!!!
I need to watch!!!
Besides, I need to listen ti SJK speaking Italian 🤨

Gee, ya' think the producers of Mr. Queen would have thought their gender-swapping, time-traveling, revisionist history fantasy saguek would be followed by a drama with a MORE eyebrow raising premise?

I must say i secretly want them to kinda keep the humor of Chief Kim and Fiery Prince as the writer is brilliant in that departament...

Lol. What was the problem Toki? Was it Eu-seom's 'Blue Lagoon' look or Saya's long hair?
For those who have not seen ARTHDAL CHRONICLES here is a side by side look of twins Eun-seom/Saya played rather well (imo) by Song Joong-ki:

PS Apologies for the long link.

Couldn’t watch AC even though I liked each of the actors separately. I think I stuck through the first few episodes when I couldn’t take anything of that drama anymore. I dropped the Eternal King like that too, though EK lasted longer with me, watched the first 10, then said goodbye forever.

I will give Vincenzo a try mainly due to my love for jeon yeo bin. I hope sjk brings his charm to this role and this proves better than AC.

Maybe the horse will make an appearance (but not like in the Godfather, please)?

I found always found this to be reliable:

The writer-PD combo is intriguing... I don’t know how it will work out because the writer seems to do comedy well and the PD likes brooding beautiful scenes (like in the teaser). The synopsis suggests it could very well be a CHIEF KIMesque story or a full on revenge melo. Will Song Joong-Ki be willing to look silly on camera like Namgoong Min in CHIEF KIM or Kim Nam-Gil in FIERY PRIEST? Those quirky characters were pivotal in making those dramas stand out from the crowd.

For now Netflix has Run On, the uncanny counter and lovestruck in the city as programs on the air and since of the three, one is already finished and the other two are in their final stretch, maybe we will see this program on Netflix, the rumors point to Vincenzo and sisyphus for the platform, but still nothing is confirmed and this has me waiting.

To be fair, the gimmick about reformed crooks fighting crime/injustice or seeking righteous revenge has been around forever to one degree or another in many mediums from great movies (The Sting), cheesy TV series (It Takes a Thief and Leverage), kdramas (Bad Guys). What makes this such an eye-roller for me is the inexplicable character background choices...

You are not alone wondering about this. Maybe this make things a little more clear as Song joong ki himself talked about this drama.
“I felt thrilled after coming across the script for the first time. It wasn’t a predictable story about good overcoming evil, and the method of punishing evil felt very new and refreshing. I think viewers will be able to feel the same thrill and catharsis.”

“Although Vincenzo looks to be Korean on the outside, he’s Italian to the bone. Since he has always lived as a foreigner in the darkness, he’s a lonely figure who can’t even open up to people who are close to him. An interesting point in the drama will be Vincenzo’s change.”

I'm thinking that his character will be more of an antihero vs hero, much like his role in Innocent Man. Since it's about a lawyer who catches criminals who can't be caught only through the law, that fits the vigilante description.

Your comment reminds me of Forest, mainly its epic meltdown (or how it epically melted our every single hope)

I think the rule with SJK dramas is you never question the concept to much and you have to turn a benevolent blind eye to the lack of sensible plotting.

I did laugh when reading that Taecyeon would be a lawyer! 👍🏼

So I am.
Although I keep being disappointed on what I think and what it really is lately.

Jeon Yeo-bin and Son Seok-koo would have been a great pair! Their parts on Be Melo was too short!

I was thinking the exact same thing! From the plot alone it sounds like it's going to be super cringy and require me to suspend my disbelief 90 percent of the time. Assuming I watch it. I bet I'd die from second hand embarrassment 😂

😂. I'm anticipating a lot of unintentional laughs. And second hand embarrassment.

This Soompi article from early in January gives descriptions of some of VINCENZO’s characters:

It seems KDY’s character will be SJK’s nemesis. Remember KDY in RL is 23 years old. His character is described this way:

“Kwak Dong Yeon plays Jang Han Seo, the president of Babel Group, a man with a crazy side and no sense of conscience. He is a villain who is obsessed with winning and uses tyranny and abuses of power to get what he wants, making him a target for Vincenzo Cassano.”

I recall his performance in RADIO ROMANCE (2018) where he played a practicing psychiatrist. There at age 20-21 he was playing someone who would probably be in his thirties by the
time he is a practicing psychiatrist. He gave a nice performance but I don’t think I fully bought into his character. I don’t want to ruin it for people who might want to check out RR. His character was very important.

I guess I will just have to wait and see how he handles his role in VINCENZO. I do wish him and the rest of the cast luck.
