Vagabond (2019)

IT’S A MASTERPIECE I mean the storyline…

Okay, soo overall It’s a great drama with lots of action like it promises and the twists and a bit of romance in the mix I really can’t say anything about the plot or storyline they were amazing if you like action revenge dramas with stong and smart male lead that really figures out everything with time

I personally really like these kinda cool male leads that never give up and always supprises everyone how strong and smart they are plus that everybody underestimates them at first and then he just crushed them (and the thing about him being just an ordinary stuntman but for revenge for his loved nephew he would go this far)
If your looking for something like this then you will love it until the end…

Because the one problem this drama has it’s the ending and even that is not really a problem if they fix it with a second season as for now it’s the stupid american ending and I really hate it I always loved korean dramas because they had an actual ending when the season finishes so this disappointed me so much basically for now it has an unfinished ending

Even though the ending is disappointing I would never regret watching this drama and would recommend it because it’s worth the watch and time especially when there is a high chance of a second season if you really don’t like unfinished endings then maybe wait a bit for the confirmation of the second season before watching it

Brilliant work and amazing corruption, political and action packed drama

So, it has taken me 3 years to come here to write a review on one of the very best kdramas and which btw made me watch other kdramas. Since it's release I've been reading the reviews on this segment and some people have given the drama one of the worst rating ever.
I found this drama to be one of the best work that the kdrama world have produced and this series is the best you'll ever see in the category of corruption, political and action. The plot of this drama is great besides some few plot twists that were not necessary, the production was amazing like every scene in the drama is fantastic. Action scenes were shockingly good because many kdramas tend to overdo when it comes to action scenes.
In acting, talk about the reunion of my two best Korean actors, Lee Seung Gi and Bae Suzy who were brilliant. I mean the chemistry between this two actors is amazing, they flow in every scene. Lee Seung Gi was amazing and btw this is the best character he has ever played. Bae Suzy was also very good and it was a very good improvement from Gu family book. Other actors were good which gave the drama a very smooth flow of every scene.
Lastly, I want talk about the disappointment that the drama has given us which has made many people in this section to give the drama ridiculous low rating. Being a fan of Hollywood tv series, I like cliffhangers because they give us hope and what to expect for the next season which is why I liked this drama (which is also why other people gave this drama the worst rating). But now I'm very disappointed on the all stakeholders of this drama because we've waited for like 3 years now for a season 2 but there's no even a any speculation of a season 2. If this drama had a season 2, it was going to be the very satisfactory kdrama you could ever see which also can be compared to Hollywood tv series. I just don't get why it wasn't renewed for season 2 having been a great success after season 1. So that's the very major flaw of this drama.
The rewatch value of this drama is very high because of the major plot twists towards the end, so for someone to understand it better you have to rewatch it. This is a very good drama, I can't compare it to any kdrama of the same genre because it's beyond them.🔥💯

It's drama is not ordinary a kdrama.this drama actions are like a Hollywood movie,, at a such great level,No this is better than Hollywood .Lee SeungGi is such a hard working man.

Now i get why everyone is mad in the reviews and comments.

This was everything I hoped it to be and more.
I am a fan of action films, make them Korean and I'm sold... I have lived and breathed K2 and Healer for years. That being said, i was sort of reluctant to watch this series when it came out, am ashamed to reveal it was because of the reviews and comments i saw then.

This action-packed series has a little bit of everything, Politics, Schemes, Murders, Conspiracies and an inked lead who looks amazing in action and even better shirtless. The story is intriguing and involving from the start, I'm glad i started this after i finished my exams because I have done nothing for the past 48 hrs.

My favourite factor in the series is the subdued/hinted romance, it was my type of thing. Their chemistry was believable and relatable. The characters delivered what they were supposed to...even the hot villain Jerome...so sad he got his face messed up,..he deserved it though.

Now.....W...T.....F....WAS...THAT....ENDING.!????????????????????????????????????

HOW COULD YOU SBS....WE NEED A SEASON 2 ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....I should have listened to the warnings in the comments...but i had fun...while it lasted.....

Anyway, if you are prone to anger, don't watch this until the announcement for season two comes out, I shouldn't have cause now I'm stuck wanting to know what happened next.

When I saw the trailer to Vagabond, I was totally set on watching the series especially due to the cast Seung-gi and Suzy. But in all honesty when I heard that many people were disappointed with the ending, I put off watching it.
But later I decided to watch it despite that negative factor. In my opinion Vagabond is a great drama and it felt like a never ending movie.

The story was on-going with non-stop action and there was so many plot twists which I loved and hated at the same time. The action and story line is what kept me so invested in and intrigued with this drama and I found it so refreshing to watch especially after watching many romance dramas. Though I wanted more to happen with the couple, I was fine with the mini moments.

The drama will make you feel sad, angry, happy or even empowered at times. Watching this series felt like a puzzle and though the saying goes 'expect the unexpected' in this drama you 'don't expect the expected'. I'd say the production quality is quite high and there is also a lot of gun violence as a warning.

Though I mentioned earlier that many people were disappointed with the ending, in my opinion it was suitable and I am not disappointed but that's just what I feel. It leaves viewers asking a lot of questions but also opens a door of possibility of a second season.

Overall, it was a very captivating and a drama worth your time, highly recommended for action genre lovers!

The lines between good and evil are muddy

I wasn't sure I would like Vagabond initially because I don't really like political dramas, but this show was done really well that I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to binge it all at once!

I was most impressed by the characterisations. I love Cha Dalgun's intensity, his energy and perseverance in finding the truth behind the flight's crash. And does becoming a stuntman really give you all these survival and combat skills? He can do literally anything while suffering mild/minor injuries, so kudos to him. Go Haeri is great. She has a lot of pride for her country and this drive to serve the people, despite the increasingly pessimistic situation she finds herself in. Corruption ran deep into the roots of the government, and yet she is still determined to expose the truth. I also love the chemistry between the two leads. They bicker a lot but obviously care for each other. It sucks where they end up by the final episode, but hopefully season 2 (if it ever happens) lets them have a happy ending.

The main thing you should keep in mind when watching this show is that no one is what they seem (except, of course, for the two protagonists). People you think are good end up being the most corrupt, and those who seem evil at first glance can be even more evil, or turn out to be okay in the end. The plot keeps revealing more twists, and the person you root for may change over the course of 16 episodes. Don't trust a character too easily.

Vagabond is a fast-paced show filled with corruption, crooked officials and cunning schemes. You desperately hope that our protagonists will win in the end, but with that brutal cliffhanger ending, who knows? I do hope there will be a season 2 coming soon!

Vagabond is a blockbuster drama with top notch action, cinematography, and music. LSG's role was practically written for him. Plotwise, nothing really pulled me in though. It's hard to believe it was written by the same writers as Empress Ki and History of Salaryman. This plot was so ridiculously unbelievable. The male lead is some random guy that somehow gets involved with the NIS and THEY JUST LET HIM HANG AROUND because they are so incompetent. I hated 90% of the characters. It's a very westernized drama that is probably better suited for a movie format than it is for a drama. I liked the second half of the drama better than the first and I think that's because "Vagabond" comes more into play.

Believe it or not conspiracy dramas have their tropes too and this was a whole bunch of them thrown in together. Some parts of the plot and acting were very corny. Some of the characters were very cookie cutter villain. You only have to watch a couple of these types of dramas to figure out who the real mastermind is. If this is your first conspiracy drama, you'll probably love it. If it is not, you'll probably find the plot mediocre.

One of the best drama

This one is my second favorite kdrama.
The story is very amazing and will keep you in suspense till the very end. Unlike other drama this has some unique story plot twist and what i liked the most is the writers did not ruin the story with romance.
This drama is of another level❤️👍 The action and all those fight scene were to die for ❤️
The ending was a bit twisted whether season 2 will come or not it ended with a little suspense
Loved the Leads ❤️ Every one acted superb . Lilly was on fire 🔥.
I wonder why it is not so famous.
A very must watch drama

The title should rather be "Vagabomb" because this drama is bomb ! ?

It's one of my favorite dramas !
The script is well written and thoughtful, except for some small things. We see that it was written in advance and not during filming, unlike most other dramas. Everything is important, even the smallest things. Huge talent of the screenwriter !
They put a lot of suspense especially at the end of episodes, and many intense action scenes. I also really liked the realistic side. And the fact that all along, we doubt almost all the characters, gives an even more intense side to the plot
There are a lot of twists and unexpected things, this drama is really surprising

I loved the characters, especially the "bad ones". My favorite character is Lily (Park Ah In). I immediately loved her, I love her personality as well as her elegance, her charisma... And she's so sexy ? Which does not spoil anything. I'm FAN !
The role of Suzy (Go Hae Ri) radically changes her from her usual roles, it's much more adult and mature ! For those who don't like her, try to watch her in this drama, it really changes her.
I also really liked Hwang Bo Ra as Kong Hwa Sook. She's very touching and she's someone we can trust

One of the drama's only "inconsistency" is that Dal Geon seems invincible. He beats everyone, climbing everywhere... Yes, he's a stuntman, but not a superman. It's a bit exaggerated on this point, he never seems to be hurt or tired

I didn't find the OST extraordinary. But the song "Open Fire" by The VANE matches the drama very well, as well as "The God of War", "N.I.S", "Morocco Run", and "What Is Chicken House", that I really liked.

SPOILER
I am a fan of the "couple" of Kim Do Su (Choi Dae Chul) and Lily ! I love them, they are so cute and adorable. I really wished they had ended up dating ! Maybe in season 2 ?
END OF THE SPOILER

Thrilling, fast-paced and loaded with gripping action sequences, Vagabond has certainly raised the bar for action-packed kdramas.

Vagabond starts off slow and sloppy with subtle plot holes and unimpressive lead characters. If only there were less talking and more of swift buildup on the first half, the pacing of the story would have been far from faulty. However, the flaws went unseen as the veteran actors help elevate this series while Seung Gi and Suzy Bae show off their charisma and chemistry. There are also fleeting touches of humour which made it a lot more fun to watch.

On the other hand, the elegance and visual coherence of the set pieces have given this kdrama a discernible impression. Although the big-deal stunts aren't that many, they will still make you jump up and down with exuberance.

Overall, Vagabond is a gratifyingly clever, booby-trapped thriller with the right amount of fun and swoon. Lastly, to those who are skeptical on watching this series, I will give you a piece of advice: don't let the first half's boring dialogues get into your nerves because the exciting action awaits on the later part.
