Vigilante

The initial episode is quite exciting and tense, a policeman who turns into a "Vigilante". The Vigilante himself is someone who enforces the law in his own way even though sometimes his method violates the rules of law because the justice system fails him when criminals get a short sentence and are released, that's why the main character becomes a punisher. Towards people who commit criminal acts. This impulse begins with the desire to avenge the crime committed by a thug which resulted in his mother's death. I don't know if a genre like this makes the audience more enthusiastic than a romance story whose ending is easy to predict and ends like that, I hope there are more Korean dramas like this.

What an incredible drama to close 2023 with a bang, clash and whack!!! I could not stop watching and was impatient for each episode to come out by week.

Joo Hyuk, Ji-Tae, Jun-Hyuk meshed well together as avengers, law-abiding officer & serious but fun loving chaebol who decides to throw his gauntlet in with the crime fighter. Their screen presence is amazing and brings the whole story together with their male bonding as brothers - first at war with each other then, united to defeat the true criminals - the law breakers, the corrupt officials at every level of civil service.

Joi Hyuk ssi is portraying how capable he is as an actor given any role, he plays the character so realistically, almost merges into that role as if he were actually that person. In awe of his acting and hope to see him in more challenging roles. Ji-Tae is, of course, the sunbaenim here and shows his seniority and experience so easily and with such skill. I also like JunHyuk - seeing him for first time in this drama and hope to see more of him in others.

Overall - one classy end to 2023 for me.

Please ensure Season 2 starts in the new year. I just can't wait.

Yesterday finished another kdrama......'Vigilante'

Based on webtoon of same name, this - "Vigilante" is an action thriller in which Kim Ji-yong ( Nam Joo-hyuk), who is a diligent student of Police academy by day, serves justice as vigilante to innocents on weekends.

Predictable vigilante story yet enjoyable, this intense drama has many well-known actors, who performed well. Action scenes are superb, specially hand to hand combat sequences. Drama has strong, whimsical female character.

Drama has some plotholes though.

Nam Joo-hyuk transforms himself into ferocious beast, his voice modulation as vigilante, body language & action is something to look for. Yoo Ji-tae is amazing as always. Lee Joon-hyuk surprised me, liked him.

My Nam again proved his versatility.

Complete drama, perfect casting, perfect acting, perfect expressions, perfect story, perfect direction, perfect music, wonderful sequence of events, a wonderful series in all respects that will be classified as one of the best series of 2023 by Disney. It's a series worth the wait, the promotion, and the budget. The series has proven its worth from the first two episodes alone! What will happen in the next six episodes? This is really exciting and all the actors are great in their roles. I couldn't imagine Nam Joo Hyuk in an action series! Director Choi Jong Yeol's choices are really great. He chose great actors for the role. The story is really great and proves that the law is a money game.

This feel good action series grips from the first scene. Love the battle between those on the vigilante's side and the villains.

This series feels so real and emotionally involving because of the thugs terrorizing New York and San Francisco now beating up old ladies and pushing people in front of subway trains. All repeat offenders let out to murder again and again by woke politicians and DAs. The case for vigilantism is made out here.

What a fantastic cast. Nam Joo Hyuk's boyish face makes the vigilante sympathetic. Yoo Ji Tae gained so much weight to play the tough guy cop. Lee Joon Hyuk always the best supporting actor from City Hunter to this role.

This is an excellent series. Sharp and to the point and with terrific meaningful action.
