“Nam Joo Huk from Vigilante , I've never seen him like this before..a refreshing, unrelenting transformation”
Nam Joo Hyuk's passionate performance, which harmoniously digested the boundaries of good and evil of the character, shone. It made it impossible to imagine Kim Jiyong, not Nam Joo Hyuk, to the extent that the image of the character looks 180 degrees different with just a police uniform and Vigilante's outfit.
On top of that, Nam Joo Hyuk's cool action performance using his long arms and legs gave a sleek & exhilarating feeling, giving catharsis to viewers, making them unable to take their eyes off. He talked about many details, like learning various martial arts even before filming, as well as working with the martial arts team to act in action for the first time.

" 'Vigilante' Nam Joo Hyuk ripped the webtoon and came out "
'Vigilante' contains anecdotes that remind us of actual events. In addition to the episode where a criminal who sexually assaulted a minor received a low sentence and returned to his victim after being released from prison, it deals with social issues such as drugs and assault without question, raising questions about 'what is law and justice?' It is nice to see someone who judges criminals, but those who defend Vigilante clash with the fact that Vigilante, who takes personal revenge, is also a criminal. A dark hero created by the world. The existence of Vigilante continues to make viewers worry about whether it is correct.
Nam Joo Hyuk's acting transformation is amazing. Kim Ji-yong threw away his cool image and became angry with himself. When he is with his friends, his eyes are playful, but at night, his eyes are full of anger and he punishes criminals. In particular, the nimble action and heavy hitting that are brought to life by the 187cm tall player provide exhilaration. Director Choi Jeong-yeol said, “I thought Ji-yong was a person with two eyes. “When he is at the police station, he is very upright and smart, and when he is active in Vigilante at night, he has a strange smile and a strange vibe,” he explained.
“Ask about law and justice”... ‘Vigilante’ is unusual from the start.
Episodes 1 and 2 quickly ranked first in the domestic OTT/theater integrated rankings, raising issues about the judicial system and receiving favorable reviews from various perspectives.
The Disney+ drama 'Vigilante', starring Nam Joo Hyuk and Yoo Ji Tae, is receiving an unusual response within a week of its release. As soon as episodes 1 and 2 were released on the 8th, 'Vigilante' took first place in the domestic OTT and theater integrated ranking chart Kinolights, beating Netflix's 'Morning Comes Even in the Psychiatric Ward' and tvN's 'Diva on a Desert Island', etc., and held on until the 12th. Not only in Korea but also in Taiwan, it ranked first in Disney+ TV show viewing (Flix Patrol), and it also ranked in the top three in Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
A user of IMDb, the largest movie and drama database, said, “The drama does not only deal with the catharsis of crime and punishment, but also makes viewers constantly think about the judicial system.”
It is known that the production team put a lot of effort into differentiating the drama from general crime action dramas that focus only on action pleasure through private sanctions. In particular, writer Moon Yoo-Seok, a former chief judge of the Seoul Central District Court, joined as a creator and attempted to include a professional perspective on the judicial system.
Writer Moon said, “We coolly and objectively dealt with not only the pleasure of the genre through private sanctions, but also the problems that result from this, such as copycat crimes and commercial use of the media.”
According to director Choi Jeong-Yeol, in the subsequent development, not only Nam Joo Hyuk, but also various characters, such as Yoo Ji Tae, the head of the metropolitan investigation team who pursues Vigilante, believing that a certain level of sacrifice is necessary to maintain the social system, and Lee Jun Hyuk, who fanatically follows Vigilante, believing that he is a hero. Through the character of Faith, it is expected that constant questions will be asked about ‘what kind of being is Vigilante?’
'Vigilante' is awe-inspiring... Contains all the charms of a 'dark hero film'
"Vigilante", which finally opens its lid, shows a power that evokes admiration as expected. The interesting thing about this work is that it opens up all aspects of the picture that can come from the subject matter of private sanctions, centering on the main character Jiyong (played by Nam Joo-hyuk), as if spreading his wings. As can be seen in works such as and , the protagonist's revenge is the ultimate goal, and an enemy who threatens his past or present is established and this is brought to the climax.
"Vigilante" can be said to be a work that captures all the charm that the dark hero genre can offer through the lead lineup of Nam Joo-hyuk, Yoo Ji-tae, and Lee Jun-hyuk, who are both physically and stylish, and an ensemble of characters with strong personalities, such as Kim So-jin's Choi Mi-ryeo. . It showcases the pleasure of punishing a criminal who cannot be caught by the law, the double life of a hero who has to live in the dark, and the social problems of private sanctions, all of which are presented with a high level of satisfaction.
Disney+, which previously announced the birth of the Korean hero genre through , is making a successful debut with Dark Hero and is expanding its base. Above all, in the OTT content market, where capturing initial attention is important, the power to captivate the taste buds with excitement through a level of stimulation that is unique and one level higher is considerable. It can be said to be the birth of a solid work that will continue the success story of Disney+, which is captivating the Korean market with its Malamat content.
“The actors generally did their part well. Nam Joo Hyuk, who accounts for the most part and will continue to do so, exceeds expectations.”
“In terms of acting alone, it's flawless. Since the original work is a webtoon, the setting itself has some cartoon-ish elements, but Nam Joo Hyuk realistically brings the character to life through his stable acting.”
Yoo Ji-tae said at the production presentation for the Disney+ original series 'Vigilante' held at the Grand Intercontinental Grand Ballroom in Gangnam, Seoul on the 6th, "I think Nam Joo-hyuk will become world-famous. So I look forward to season 2 sometime next year."
Jiyong's anger at the shameless criminals without reflection, and his judgment of them with violence and no mercy, continues with different incidents. When the loud and sharp sound of 'puk puk' is heard, exhilaration and eerie feelings spread at the same time. It is so cruel that some viewers may find it painful to watch drama.
However, the drama does not only deal with the catharsis of crime and retribution. It makes viewers constantly think about the judicial system. In the drama, experts discuss, “Vigilante is a criminal who shakes up the judicial system” and “We need to look back at why citizens are so passionate about dark heroes and overhaul the judicial system.” Monster detective Jo Heon (Yoo Ji-tae) stands in opposition to Vigilante and tries to block his personal sanctions. In addition, an episode reminiscent of the Cho Doo-sun incident appears, and harsh punishments that are likely to occur in reality are poured out. When you watch episodes 1 to 3, you may feel a sense of déjà vu from what you saw in real life, and the bitterness will not leave you.
The story of 'Vigilante' is expected to become more complex and rich as the series progresses. Curiosities are growing about how the relationship between Jo Heon and Ji-yong will become entangled, and how Jo Kang-ok (Lee Jun-hyuk), the young vice-chairman of DK Group, who has not yet appeared, will join hands with Choi Mi-ryeo and follow Vigilante. 'Vigilante', which raises deep concerns about our society's judicial system, will be released twice every Wednesday starting on the 8th.
The remaining episodes of 'Vigilante', which has released up to episode 3, are raising curiosity. A feast of powerful characters, realistic and destructive action, and even exhilaration. Following ‘Moving’ and ‘The Worst Evil’, ‘Vigilante’ is aiming for its third successive hit.
Centering on Kim Ji-yong, who imposes private sanctions, broadcast reporter Choi Mi-ryeo (Kim So-jin) who notices his existence and seeks a scoop, Jo Heon (Yoo Ji-tae), the head of the metropolitan investigation team who tracks the existence of Vigilante, and Jo Kang-ok (Lee Jun-hyuk), the second-generation chaebol who follows Vigilante. ) are fiercely intertwined.
'Vigilante' focuses on the relationships between characters and shows a part of the times we live in. It deals with social issues such as assault without question, sexual assault of minors, and drugs, and makes you think about the meaning of 'Vigilante'. While presenting various perspectives on law and justice, it raises the topic of how the media and judicial system will behave if private sanctions become a social phenomenon.
The story unfolds in chronological order so anyone can easily understand it. It unfolds quickly with an omnibus structure and does not miss the genre pleasures of revenge and action.
The good performances of the actors also increase immersion. Nam Joo-hyuk, who plays the title role, delicately portrays the dual-faced role of Kim Ji-yong, presenting a new face that has never been seen before. He also delivers catharsis by perfectly executing agile and striking actions.
Yoo Ji-tae dominates the screen just by appearing. In order to realistically express Jo Heon, the most dominant character in the 'Vigilante' worldview and the owner of the superpower that crushes coins with one hand, he gained weight by 20 kg and overwhelms the atmosphere with his extraordinary aura. Lee Jun-hyuk, who plays Jo Kang-ok, does not appear until episode 3, raising expectations about what kind of performance he will perform afterward.
Nam Joo-hyuk's new face that embraces innocence, anger, and even madness, Yoo Ji-tae's endless transformation that exceeds expectations every time, and director Choi Jeong-yeol's elegant directing ability that asks true questions about social justice. This is a masterpiece that harmonizes three elements.
