Any fans of Song Joong-ki out there? After taking a break following his divorce from Song Hye-kyo, Joong-ki is finally back – and with a vengeance! We last saw him in ‘Arthdal Chronicles‘ in 2019; but this year, he has two projects lined up – both of which will be showing on Netflix this February 2021. Check them out:
Space Sweepers
Starts Streaming on February 5, 4PM
Don’t miss out on this upcoming outer space sci-fi blockbuster starring popular stars Song Joong-ki, Kim Tae-ri, Jin Sun-kyu, and Yoo Hai-jin.
The main trailer reveals that Earth has become a bleak planet in 2092 and will soon be uninhabitable. Thus, a pristine habitat was created in space for UTS citizens. All the space travel has also resulted in tons of space debris. The crew members of Spaceship Victory live off salvaging space debris. Crewed with a genius space pilot Tae-ho (Song Joong-ki), a mysterious ex-space pirate Captain Jang (Kim Tae-ri), a spaceship engineer Tiger Park (Jin Sun-kyu), and a reprogrammed military robot Bubs (Yoo Hai-jin), Spaceship Victory surpasses all other space sweepers.
After successfully snatching a crashed space shuttle in their latest debris chase, Victory’s crew are surprised to find a 7-year-old girl inside. They realize that she’s the extremely dangerous human-like robot wanted by UTS Space Guards, and decide to demand a ransom in exchange for her. In their quest to earn money, these misfits just might save the world.

Vincenzo
Starts Streaming on February 20
‘Vincenzo’, on the other hand, is an upcoming Korean drama that will star Joong-ki as Vincenzo Cassano, an Italian lawyer, and mafia consigliere. Although of Korean descent, he was adopted by an Italian family at a young age. When he moves back to Korea because of conflicts in his organization, he ends up meeting sharp-tongued lawyer Hong Cha-young (Jeon Yeo-bin) and her slightly clumsy intern Jang Joon-woo (2PM’s Taecyeon). Together, they use interesting methods to take down villains who cannot be punished by the court of law.
