MUMBAI: At the start of July, the news broke that Song Joong-ki has narrowed down on his next K-drama. Titled Vincenzo, the storyline centers on Vincenzo Cassano, an Italian lawyer who is also a mafia consigliere. Due to fighting within his organisation, Vincenzo flees to Korea as Park Joo-hyung and encounters Hong Cha-young, also a lawyer. Jeon Yeo-bin is being considered to play Cha-young. While Kim Hee-won of Money Flower fame is directing Vincenzo, the writing has been undertaken by Park Jae-bum of The Fiery Priest fame.

Joong-ki and Yeo-bin are closer to signing on the dotted line but there's already one confirmed cast member and that 2PM's Taecyeon. The rapper's agency 51K confirmed the news with Ilgan Sports, via Koreaboo, sharing, "Taecyeon will appear in Vincenzo." In what will be his first villain role, the actor is portraying Jang Jun-woo, CEO of Wooseong Pharmaceuticals. Even though he's a man who has boyish but handsome visuals along with a pure smile, when he flips the switch, his overflowing charisma can turn into madness. As a drug lord, Jun-woo's only goal is to turn South Korea into a drug haven while spending huge amounts of drugs throughout the country with his connections to a Russian drug cartel.
