Song Joong Ki as Vincenzo Cassano
An extremely popular Hallyu star, you might have seen a few of Song Joong Ki’s dramas and movies. One of his most famous and swoon-worthy roles is Captain Yoo Si Jin from Descendants of the Sun. In Vincenzo, Song Joong Ki’s character is decidedly different and closer to an anti-hero.
As a consigliere to an Italian mafia, Vincenzo Cassano has questionable ethics and no qualms about using evil tactics to punish evil people. You’ll be able to enjoy a different shade of sexy from Song Joong Ki in Vincenzo, and perhaps a little rom-com action too as he falls in love with Jeon Yeo Been's character, Hong Cha Young.
