Vincenzo Season 2: Screen writer’s statement creates buzz among fans

After the release of the groundbreaking K-drama, Vincenzo in February 2021, fans were waiting for another season. In between, Song Joong-ki’s fans cheered again for his new drama Reborn Rich where he played two different characters living in different periods.

The recent statements of the Vincenzo screenwriter Park Jae-bum create buzz among his fans. On November 14, 2022, Park Jae-bum attended an event at The Golden Horse Film Master Class held in Taiwan. According to Sportskeeda, in the question and answer session, Park Jae-bum hinted at the possibility of Vincenzo Season 2. When he was asked about the prospects of the show and if there is a sequel of Vincenzo, he told, he has been considering a second season of Vincenzo. He also stated that he wants to collaborate with the stars he previously worked with, such as Kim Nam-Gil and Song Joong Ki.

In an interview with Sports Chosun via Soompi, the series star, Kwak Dong-yeon told that Vincenzo Season 2 would be a dream come true for him. "I think a second season would be a dream come true. I hope that it really happens. All the other actors want it to happen as well."

"There are still a lot of Babel wannabes in Korea, so it'd be fun if Vincenzo could break them all open in the second season. I'm finished, but there's always a way. Maybe I could be a grown-up Young Ho (Kang Chae Min) or a ghost who follows Vincenzo around all the time. Anyway, I'm satisfied with the current result. Han Seo managed to become a person he could be proud of before he departed the world," said the actor.

On the flip side, Song Joong Ki stated in an interview with Jazmine Media, "Nothing has been said about (Vincenzo) Season 2."

"I'm personally happy that many people want Season 2 to come out, but realistically speaking it's not coming out, and I don't think there was ever any Season 2 discussion going on internally," Song Joong Ki further cited.

He continued saying, "That would seem to echo the comments Joong-ki made in a making-of video about the last day of filming Season 1, which seemed to end on a note of finality. I was the only one caught crying on camera, but all of the actors cried. It was such a fun production that I didn't want to say goodbye, and I always get emotional when the final shoot ends."

TvN is yet to officially confirm anything on Vincenzo Season 2.  In fact, the devotees believe in the theory that Netflix picked a foreign language series globally when they confirm it could bring massive popularity globally. The series was popular among international viewers through Netflix, maintaining its position in the top 10 TV shows on Netflix worldwide.

Vincenzo tells the story of a Park Joo-hyung (Song Joong-ki) who was adopted into an Italian family and later joins the mafia Don Fabio, head of the Cassano Family. Renamed Vincenzo Cassano he becomes a lawyer, a consigliere for the mafia, and Fabio's right-hand man. After Fabio dies, Paolo, Fabio's biological son and the new leader of the Cassano Family attempts to kill Vincenzo.

He flees to Seoul and sets out to recover 1.5 tons of gold that he helped a recently-dead Chinese tycoon secretly stash within the basement of Geumga Plaza. However, a subsidiary of Babel Group has illegally taken ownership of the building, and Vincenzo uses his skills to reclaim the building and recover his fortunes. He meets with Jipuragi Law Firm owner Hong Yoo-chan (Yoo Jae-myung) in which he finds he has aligned interests. At first, he comes into conflict with Hong Yoo-chan's daughter, Hong Cha-young (Jeon Yeo-been), an attorney for a rival firm, but after her father's death, she takes over the practice and joins forces with Vincenzo and the other tenants to fight Babel Group.

The story gives a satisfactory ending, showing Vincenzo taking his revenge against the Babel Group head Jang Jun Woo and flying to an Island near Malta, but it still left a small cliffhanger. The gold is still with Hong Cha-young. If Vincenzo Season 2 gets greenlit in the future might clear that cliffhanger. Will Vincenzo Cassano return to Korea to get the gold?

Netflix yet to greenlit Vincenzo Season 2 nor canceled it. We will keep you updated as soon as we get anything new on the series. Stay tuned with Devdiscourse for updates on more K-dramas.
