This show was BRILLIANT. I cannot believe how well executed and directed it was. It was entertaining and had its brilliant moments all while sending a simple but important message about the justice system that seems to be more sympathetic of the criminal instead of the victim and tends to act after the crime has occurred, instead of protecting the innocent and preventing the crime from happening in the first place.
From the ruthless Nam Joo Hyuk who had a perfect Vigilante demeanor while at the same time maintaining his precious humanity in the form of the emotional pain he was carrying, to the seemingly-righteous-but-not-at-all Yoo Ji Tae, who was able to deliver his message to the Vigilante while understanding his position and changing his perspective on an as-needed basis. Their chemistry was amazing and Nam Joo Hyuk and Yo ji Tae can choke me. Together or separately, I don't really care.
I understood the mania that the amazing reporter Kim So Jin displayed while maintaining a steadfast focus on delivering the agenda behind why it was important to idolise the Vigilante, drawing him out and making him a hero, despite all the horrors she had to face. Somehow she made her every act brave, and reminded me a lot of the crazy reporter in Hannibal, Freddie Lounds, but without the infuriatingly annoyed feeling Freddie gave me.
I also LOVED the crazy unequivocal support offered by Lee Jun Hyuk and his acceptance of Nam Joo Hyuk's changing plans, and continued to support him like a true Hyung. Sometimes sidekick characters are shown as slow and desperate and just providing money without being given the respect they deserve, but Jun Hyuk maintained his importance throughout the show and stayed reliable enough for me to root for him.
TLDR: PLEASE WATCH THIS INCREDIBLE SHOW WITH HOT ACTORS WHO ACTED REALLY WELL AND EVERY CHARACTER WAS IMPORTANT TILL THE END.
Nam Joo Hyuk brought his A-game to "Vigilante." He scowled, he thirsted for justice, and he looked good doing…
OHMYGOD I know right??? I agree with every single word you said, and this show had such sizzling tension between the gangster cop and NJH too. Like when they crossed paths in the hospital for the first time? WOW
So happy he's getting lead roles finally!! My man here managed to shine even in a show like 'Are You Human' with the godly Seo Kang Joon, and ofc in Stranger as well. This was bound to happen some day or the other!
It's so cool when actors actually give a shit about their work enough to make fictional material as realistic as possible for their audience, while still injecting enough 'unrealistic' moments in it to make sure the audience understands that it is fiction, after all. Ju Ji Hoon always works hard in all his shows and his research always pays off in the form of inspiring characters and shows.
it seems like they don't have much expectation on this drama yet it turns out to be so popular
Honestly I feel like that one Instagram reel where they walk etc in the party made it a global hit overnight. Everyone copied that reel for a good couple of days before content became varied with more moments.
Rich, Loyal, Tall, Handsome (not in order of importance) guy is super protective over his lady and values her above all others, what is there to decode exactly? It's the perfect K-drama recipe and any added plot is simply a bonus.
