Song Joong Ki Interested in Dark Characters?
Song Joong Ki opened up about his role in Vincenzo and explained why he likes dark characters. Speaking to YTN, the mafia consigliere explained how Vincenzo was different from other projects.
Song Joong Ki returned to TV acting after a gap of two years. He said that when he started filming for the drama he was under pressure as he wanted to do well. But his fears vanished as 'Vincenzo' became a production that taught him that it was possible to work joyfully on set without having a hard time.
"As we continued to film, I felt more at ease, and I was glad that I chose this project," said Song Joong Ki. "When I choose a project, I tend to avoid portraying an image I've already portrayed. Playing the same kind of role again feels like I'm showing no growth, so I'm not afraid of taking on new challenges even if I'm criticized for it," Vincenzo actor said.
