Vigilante

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.

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.

Great actors, acting, great soundtrack. One of the best crime dramas I saw lately. Big plus for Disney channel. Can't await next episodes. Some scenes I don't understand, why the the Bang killed only the one reporter, and let her - Choi- run away, even if he is fast killer machine. He is killing by order, I don't think he had an order to kill only one of both... and let her run away with the cam with all evidence. And she come hours later back, instead of calling immediately the police and emergency to save the colleague... but, as female lead.. of course, she probably shouldn't be killed in some early episode. Just this scene doesn't make much sense for me.

I really recommend to watch it if u like action series. I am so in love with Nam Joo Hyuk character and I truly wish it will come out season 2 with great stories like this season 1. He always ended up being in Kdrama like romance so first I worried that he won't fit in this action hero character. But I was wrong cuz it turns out it's one of the best character for Nam Joo Hyuk.

Without a doubt this series is the best action webtoon series in Disney + and just watch till the end. I can assure one thing that this will make u so hype like hero without superpower who works for people. U will feel revenge, the best fighting, unlike other kdrama series. 10 out of 10.

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.
