Song Joong Ki is set to make this love month extra special for his fans with a new film and series coming on Netflix!
The hallyu heartthrob suits up as a spaceship pilot in the film Space Sweepers and a lawyer to an Italian mafia in the drama Vincenzo. After debuting in 2008, the actor has steadily captivated audiences through many films and shows. Let’s prepare our hearts for his comeback projects while reminiscing his most swoon-worthy roles.
Nice Guy
Nice Guy was Song Joong-ki’s first drama as the main lead. Of course, he was already popular having appeared in several well-loved dramas, movies, and variety shows. Nonetheless, the series was a turning point in his career as he he showcased his acting range proving he can carry a series as the male lead. His character Maru, transforms from a kind medical student who sacrifices everything for the woman he loves, to a man on a dark path seeking revenge against the woman who betrayed him.
Descendants of the Sun
Post completion of the mandated military service, Song Joong Ki’s long awaited project was a runaway hit at the time of its airing. In Descendants of the Sun, he seamlessly transformed into Special Forces Captain Yoo Si-jin. His character was adored by many for his bravery, honor, and wit. As with most post-military roles, Song Joong-ki was able to show a more mature side of himself which contrasted to his earlier flower boy image.
Arthdal Chronicles
Song Joong-ki showed a decidedly unique image in the drama Arthdal Chronicles. In fact, he portrayed two different characters named Eunseom and Saya. The fantasy story of various individuals and tribes seeking power in the ancient land of Arth is fascinating and previously unheard of amongst K-dramas. You naturally end up rooting for sweet Eunseom and Tanya (Kim Ji Won), but it was especially nice to see a muscular and rugged Song Joong Ki.
Space Sweepers
Making his return through the space blockbuster movie Space Sweepers, he’ll portray genius pilot Kim Tae-ho who is willing to do anything for money. Set in the year 2092, Kim Tae-ho and his fellow spaceship misfits chase after space debris for a living. They inadvertently come across a dangerous humanoid and attempt to make a large profit through a dangerous trade.
Vincenzo
Song Joong Ki will also be making a drama comeback via Vincenzo where he portrays a consigliere to an Italian mafia. He returns to Korea in search of treasure hidden by the mafia, but accidentally gets embroiled in a lawsuit against an evil conglomerate. As shown throughout his career, he will bring to life a character different from all of his previous roles. The actor looks handsome regardless of what he wears, but he does look exceptionally fine in suits.
