“First of all, it was the first time I felt such little pressure about my role. It’s not that I didn’t feel any burden, but because I filmed many episodes with the Geumga Plaza people, I felt a bond with the actors who played the Geumga Plaza tenants and didn’t feel lonely or pressured. In short, I could say, ‘We all had fun together,'” said Song Joong-ki to Soompi.

Earlier Song Joong-ki revealed that he was going to speak the Italian language in his popular Korean series Vincenzo.

After a major conflict in his organization, Vincenzo flees to Korea with his childhood name Park Joo-hyung and encounters his enemy.
While talking about his experience speaking Italian, Song Joong-ki said, “I’m not sure if my acting is comical scenes were received positively.” The actor also said, “Personally, I wasn’t satisfied with my Italian lines and my comic scenes. Through this production, I felt once again that acting in a comedy is the most difficult type of acting. In that aspect, I think I did a very bad job. I’m personally not pleased.”
Speaking about his experience playing an antihero in Vincenzo, Song Joong-ki said, “People were divided on whether it was too violent or not. [Even while filming], I thought, ‘People will have mixed opinions.’ Personally, I didn’t think it was cruel.”
“On the contrary, I thought we needed to go stronger on them. I think heinous people like them should be punished that way. I think that the characters who committed evil were punished righteously for the characters they were,” added Song Joong-ki.
