Why does this give me shades of Heartless City? (Which is a good thing btw) Song Joong Ki as a mafia boss though lmao, ok. Taecyeon being in this too, I have to alert my grandma about this, she loves him lol.

Phew gives me “Nice Guy” vibes. I’m so ready to see him go dark again 🤩

I love Song Joong-ki but I haven't been able to finish a film or drama that he is in since "NICE GUY."
Please let this be the one.

good god I hope they don't cast a random white guy to speak cringeworthy Italian (or English).

Unless this is a farcical comedy, I will be interested to see what plot contrivances the writers have come up with to explain (1) how a Korean ended up advising the notoriously parochial and xenophobic Italian mob IN ITALY, and (2) how the same mafioso, apparently fleeing to back home because he was on the losing end of a power struggle (rather than a world-shaking attack of conscience), ends up working on the side of the angels (albeit by extra-judicial means.)

So excited because of the cast! especially Jeon Yeo-bin, I realised this is somewhat of a reunion between her and Taecyeon from Save Me. I want this to be serious but knowing the writer this is going to be hilarious. I can’t wait to find out the supporting cast because The Fiery Priest had a really good ensemble cast.

The story sounds like it could go really wrong, but I like the cast. I'm especially excited for Jeon Yeo-bin.

Here's hoping it doesn't end up being a total train wreck.

I was waiting for this, did anyone else laugh out loud at the description, lol.

OMG, Song Joong-ki moved from SongSong couple headliner to cancelled Arthdal season to this Italian-Korean 2021 drama!

Song Joong ki is great and all, but everything about this can be summed up with (cue laughter) "I'm sorry, what?!?!"

Honestly I don't see Song Joongki as a Al Pacino type mafia boss. With that baby face, its hard to imagine. Prove me wrong, Show!

This sounds tacky. LOL

I loved Fiery Priest and I have a lot of faith in Kim Hee Won because of Crowned Clown so I'm looking forward to this but a lot of question marks popped up as I read the synopsis. I mean I don't know much about the Italian mafia but Song Joong Ki's face isn't what I'd imagine for starters...

i love jeon yeo bin and i am happy that she’s landed a high profile leading role but......... this sounds ridiculous lol...... like who came up with this??

i think i can picture it in my mind..... a bloated and hella expensive extravaganza.... unnecessary explosions.... the heavy-handed exposition for why the hell song joong ki is in the mafia in the first place.... tacyeon being a hunk but cheesy as hell..... random white dudes butchering italian while trying to act..... oh god

ALSO how are they going to get an entire film crew and go to italy to shoot on location this year?? or hmmm maybe they won’t???? well, if that means fewer white dudes acting i suppose it’s for the better

It's hard to take this seriously when it reminds me of Yoon Shi Yoon's take on the Italian mafia in Flower Boy Next Door. XD

Will it be funny or gritty? FIERY PRIEST managed to do both (with more emphasis on the funny), but this doesn't sound like that kind of drama. Also, Kim Nam-gil is an actor who isn't afraid of embracing absurd situations and making funny faces... but I feel Song Joong-ki won't be asked to do absurd comedy any time soon. It's a pity though, because I think it could be a nice challenge for him. The cheeky scholar from SUNGKYUNKWAN SCHOLAR is still my favorite SJK role because he wasn't trying to be serious or cool.

This must be a big production project. Can't see another reason for Taecyeon agreeing to this "nice, good looking but clumsy" intern role. Reminds me of his early roles aka Assembly. Hope there is some twist, could he be the mole who had everyone fooled with his act??

Alright the fact that the writer is the one who wrote the Fiery Priest and Chief Kim both dramas which I really enjoyed (I loved Chief Kim a little bit more). I will definitively watch this one because I'm curious to see if there is even going to have any comedy. The most probable it would be that it will have a black comedy and I doubt it that the drama would be all too serious. What I do like about Park Jae Bum is that he is one few who writes characters with flaws and distinct personality.
In comparison to most dramas that tend to have protaganists blend in one and together, he writes them as people a little eccentric perhaps but still believable people with flaws.

I’ll check this out for jeon yoo bin! Have had a girl crush on her since “Be Melo”. Very excited for her career in the future! Fighting Yeo Bin a!

I'm curious about what kind of drama is it : Melo? Dark comedy?

Nice Guy is my favourite drama with SJK as a lead. JYB was really great in Be Melodramatic, so even if I wanted a season 2 about her character in Europe, I'm happy to see her in a new drama.

I have never been a fan of Taecyeon's acting but at least he's not the main lead, so I'm good :)

I am already grinning, expecting SJK to intersperse his lines with a spicy dose of Italian. I am amazed, to be honest, that our Korean drama characters are venturing beyond AMERICA. Because I thought that where they all go. AMERICA. I had so much fun with BoF and Lee Min Ho and his bros. I almost collapsed watching that excruciating "MAKE OUT WITH THE HOT CAUCASIAN GIRLS IN BIKINIS scene. I remember almost bursting my eyeballs snorting over the tortured, laboured exchange in "American English", "Hey-bro" and "What-ssir-up-yo-yo-yo"... admittedly, they never did get beyond those two lines, but, hey, I had such a great time, I was hysterical throughout. Good times.

After reading beanies comment here, I am not sure about to invest in watching this one or not.
Honestly, I couldn't finish anything that Taecyeon as a lead (Save Me, ghost thing with KSY)...even more with writernim and PDnim project ( stop at ep 3 of Fiery Priest, never watch Chief Kim, maybe have encontered Crowned Clown in some way but couldn't remember this one).

So many off record on my part, let alone the description of this drama 😌. I need to find my kdrama's mojo back...

Okay so I looked up the writer wanting to know if he’s ever written something serious. The answer is yes... it was Blood 🤣

So for everyone’s sake, this better take the comedy route or we’re in for a train wreck. Which isn’t so bad I guess. Sometimes morbid fascination itself can be a reason to watch something. Just... I’d like some light in the drama. Literal light.

so excited about this cast!!

Most ppl don't get to be top in their fields this young. Would be nice to have a drama where actors are old enough to be believable.

I know we know practically nothing about the characters but I feel kind of sorry for Taecyon. I think being a villain might be a meatier part but who knows right now.
In VINCENZO there should be the possibility for cameos by some of kdrama's well known bad guys. So Writer-nim for a cameo please consider from BAD GUYS (2014) the 'bad guy' himself Ma Dong-seok.

"Song Joong-ki is set to play a mafia consigliere who escapes to Korea from Italy because of internal strife within the organization."
Oh, god! Really?! 😬

I really like the cast. After Be Melodramatic I wanted to see Jeon Yeo Bin in another drama. Yeahhhh.

An intern lawyer who wants to be a "James Bond"? Am I missing something here?

God I'm laughing so hard right now.
This year is such a trainwreck.

A Korean consigliere in the Italian mafia? they already lost me there. WTF? this wont go over well. Couldnt they find a better set up than this? lol and to make it worse they will have to cast the mafioso....yikes.
