Kinda overrated
To be honest this show isn't that bad- in fact I had fun watching this, but I expected something more. The idea of this series is really good, but there was something wrong with the execution. When I started watching I thought that it's going to be mostly focused on main character, Jiyong, but after few episodes I saw him much less often. Also I felt that he forgot after a while what he was doing and why. In the beginning he was punishing people who didn't get proper punishment, but after a while he looked like he forgot about it.
I really liked the moment when the second guy tried to help Jiyong as a fellow vigilante. It showed that he really cared for him and tried to help him risking being hurt or killed. It was one of the few moments where I could actually feel an actual connection between characters rather than fighting all the time.
Probably the worst character was Choi Miryeo. For most of the time it felt like her entire personality was focused on how "cool" she is, which made her character feel empty. I guess it's a hard job to make a confident and independent woman being enjoyable to watch. Also the fact that she thought only about herself and was unsympathetic about death of her friend made me hate her character. Instead of making her a strong character, they made her without any depth.
The storyline had a lot potential, but I think most of the time it was predictable, so it wasn't surprising to watch. I think the characters should be more developed, so the viewer could attach to them. I also didn't like the ending when the reporter told that friend of Jiyong was vigilante and that most of them didn't get any penalty. I think it's irrational that Jiyong wasn't punished for being a killer. Despite his good intentions he should go to jail after that and not be protected by everyone, because he "protected the world".
After all, I had fun watching it and would reccommend it to people who like series with a predictable plot. The story had potential, and even though it lost sometimes its way, I don't think it was a big problem.
