LOVE LOVE LOVE. Great show, kept me on the edge of my seat all throughout. I find that in most shows (even good) there is a part, a couple episodes that I find boring and that i just have to get through. But this show never was, the action scenes were amazing those really helped. (can't beleive he did them stunts himself). It was a little sad, had just the right amount of comedy, action and drama it was never too much. No romance tho if youre looking for that. Obviously you can feel slight attraction and tension between the leads though. The twist was unexpected because I was so wrapped up in everything else going on. 10/10 recommend only a little disapointed by the ending, that was the only problem for me. I dont know about rewatch quality. I got my cousin to watch it and sat with her and watching it for a second time made me pick up on things and the twsit felt obvious since I knew what is was so I'll never get that feeling i got the first time watching it.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
BEST ACTION ROMANCE KDRAMA EVER!!!
This kdrama has the slowest ep 1 ever then suddenly ! BAAAM ! ep 2 onwards were INSANE and it GETS BETTER AND BETTER every episode. Just when you think the main leads can finally rest BOOOOM!!! another shitt happens and every character is so suspicious. Its impossible not to binge watch this. You can definitely finish all 16 episodes in IN JUST 2 DAYS.Suzy and Seunggi did an amazing job potraying their characters and giving us that tiny bit of ROMANCE that was needed that made this drama even better. Every episode makes you WANT TO WATCH MORE and you end up watching it for 8 hours straight. For reference if you like K2 or Healer then you will LOVE this drama. Even if you don't ........ JUST WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!1

a good action series
been long since I watched it but still fresh in memory. it was very good drama. I was expecting season 2 but do not forsee it. both leads are fine and seasoned actors and have done a wonderful job. the chemistry was amazing between them. all actors have done justice to their roles. there are few dramas which leave an impact, this is one of them. the ending is open ended. I want to see what happens next but I guess it will remain that way. it is a drama which can be watched many times as the plot is not like usual action series.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Excellent drama
Vagabond delivered simply by leaving me wanting a second season. This show had a lot going for it, and its casting was near flawless. I thought Suzy and Lee Seung-Gi were exceptional in their roles. The latter in particular highlighted the relentless determination of his character to seek justice for his dead nephew. At the heart of this reckless drive was a despair that veered onto the edges of breakdowns, and the feeling of a character unable to appease his restless guilt until he fixed this. His character was a joy to watch.Suzy delivered in her role with a performance of realism, humour and authority that made her character enjoyable. Her character dealt with institutional sexism in an agency that never regarded her seriously yet always came to rely on her. Suzy's character lived through a myriad of emotions and lived through all of them very well. Her and Lee Seung-Gi shared strong chemistry that really left you with the sense that Suzy's character was determined to help him as much as possible. Where they shared intimate scenes, the show's emotional pulse hummed. Vagabond didn't disappoint on the action either, as it was laced with some terrific gunfights and car chases that always ramped up the tension.
It was a plot with a thousand twists and no sight of a straight conclusion. Maybe that works for some and less so for others. It did however leave Season 1 poised on a cliffhanger with another season surely needed to wrap this story up. Overall, a deeply enjoyable show.

That Ending Was So Evil
This drama is one of a few action drama's I come back to and highly recommend to people.This was my first time watching work from Lee Seung-Gi, Bae Suzy and Shin Sung-Rok.
I just love this drama sooo much perfect amount of action, the politics was quick and easy to understand.
The plane scene was so sad, the children being scared, the teachers trying their best to calm them aww that pregnant teacher trying to protect her belly and ends up getting knocked out.
The scene with the family of the victims at the beach was soo emotional the pregnant teachers husband didn't jus lose his wife but also lost his baby all at once, the way he didn't believe Dal Gun until he nearly had a near death experience from Lily.
Lily and Mickey were probably my favourites I love badass women, I know this is bad to say but I want to be like Lily minus the killing bit but I just love her confidence, Mickey is soo underrated yes she was sussy at times but she is soo great and so mysterious but also the actor is just drop dead gorgeous
I didn't see that plot twist wow Edward Park as the enemy the fact he believed Dal Gun at the start only to "kill him" at the end and the reveal of Michael's gf being Mickey.
The ending was such an evil cliffhanger if you are seeing this Mr/Ms Directors
GIVE US SEASON 2
IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS!!!!!!

Vagabond: An Uncomfortable but Interesting Watch
Vagabond is probably one of the most uncomfortable K-dramas I've seen. It's not the cast or plot, but the corruption shown in the plot. I guess we're so used to the lovey dovey dramas that when a serious one like this comes along, it's hard to swallow. However, they did try to restore your faith in humanity by showing scenes where the people would come together and take a stand.Overall, I'd say it's an interesting drama. The plot, direction and acting we're amazing. I usually don't like Bae Suzy but she grew on me in this drama. Lee Seungi's portrayal of Cha Dal-geon screamed Lee Seungi. I was constantly reminded of his character in A Korean Odessy. Shin Sung Rok was an eye candy. I wish he'd get more starring roles like this.
The music was pretty mediocre except for one song (Breaking Dawn).
The end was weird. I understand cliffhangers but this was just unfinished. It was like It's Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong (for those who've seen the movie). The drama felt like it ended in the middle of an episode. Unless, they're planning to return with season 2, the ending sucked and left us with many questions.
Conclusion: you'll like Vagabond if you can handle heavy plots. They laid out so many mysteries that I was forced to watch it till the end and find answers. It was interesting, but honestly, I doubt I'd rewatch it. Maybe if season 2 comes out I might.

Twists, and explosions that left me wanting more.
This is one of those dramas that is pretty much guaranteed to keep you on your toes, and is most definitely an easy binge as the pace is fast the twists are endless (some more predictable than others), the possible outcomes in every episode are like 8 and each episode ends with a cliffhanger making you feel that need to click on that next episode button.Add to that the acting (not only abs) of Lee Seung Gi, the endless charm och Bae Suzy (acting too), the cold second male lead and a bunch of fun not ridiculous characters and you have a really good drama. This is not a romance, but much like in Big Mouth (same writers), the romance in this is top, top, both chemistry and sweet scenes and would have made a great romance drama if they would have given the romance more time and episodes... but that said this definitely satisfied my need for romance.
Though I am not a fan of second seasons this is a drama that desperately needs one, making me lower the score a bit, other things that lowered the score where some unrealistic stuff, some stereotypes, and things that made me role my eyes. However the story it self is really interesting and considering all the twists and details, pretty impressive. The characters are mostly complex. The explosions and scenery is lovely...
Definitely a fun drama!
P.s. it is another drama I watched with my hubby that he actually enjoyed and wanted to binge. I also dropped it mid episode the first time I started it but picked it up a few years later and got hooked from the start. So If you are not feeling it right away you may just need a break. Also pay attention to the details, they matter more than you think.

It's really interesting to write something about lobbyist, corruption and selling of weapons to the government body because this is actually happening in the real world. A lot of car brands and aircraft companies actually manufacture weapons and they often compete to bid for the contract. Besides military supplies, there are a lot of things that the government needs which require the same bidding process. Yet in this process, there is such bribery and corruption taking place. I am surprised that the screenwriter actually know such sensitive information. This drama has portrayed an exaggerated version of reality with all the plot to kill competitors. The action scenes are really good, almost comparable to Hollywood movies. However, there were way too many plot twists (Jessical initially being portrayed as the culprit, then decided to mislead the audience that it was the president, then decided to change the culprit to the prime minister and in the end, they made Edward the mastermind.) that it actually didn't make sense any more. The plot is weak because of the multiple plot twists. If there isn't any season 2, they just spent way too many episodes filming multiple plot twists that they didn't have time for a proper ending. If you rewatch it, there are way too many plot holes. The idea of the story is great, the action scenes and filming location justify its high budget. But sorry, the plot is very weak with way too many bullshit plot twists that didn't make any sense anymore. Nevertheless, I still highly recommend this drama if you are sick of typical Romcom Kdramas and want something new.

If I were to describe Vagabond now, I'd say it is a well packaged action drama. From casts, acting, directing, and even production, everything and everyone has been top notch! Watching only the first episode, you'd already get the gist of how high the quality and budget for this drama must be. The action scenes , and the many plot twists in this drama were intense and enough to make you want more of it. Aside from the action scenes, there are some comedy, romance, and politics mixed into the show too, which i think makes the show more interesting.
The unique characters for this drama is another thing to look forward to from this show. I loved how the way the show slowly revealed the true personalities and intention of the characters. It definitely made everything more intense. Also the chemistry of the characters were just amazing. Watching Shin Sung Rok as a skilled and righteous NIS agent was just so endearing. I was sad he wasn't given much focus on the story but still loved his character! The main reason why I watched it was because of him. Watching him shoot away with a gun, he is just perfect for the role! <3
Seung Gi's chemistry with Suzy was great too, but I liked how aside from the few cute moments for the leads, the scriptwriter didn't add any more than what is shown, because it could have been seen unnecessary and forced.
Overall, Vagabond was an entertaining and refreshing drama to watch. It kept me on my seat tense, curious, and furious with every episode. The only problems I have with this show are: the information overload I got with the many characters introduced to us, the cliffhanger at the end, and they way they ended the show without taking down the real bad guy, nor a closure for the side characters.

The storyline centers around a man who lost his nephew on a plane crash and a woman working for the Korean Secret Service, together they uncover the mystery and corruption that caused the plane crash, opening the blinds to a bigger picture, bigger than them. I loved the scenery of the drama I think they invested a lot of time and money into making it look and good as It should be and it seriously paid off. if you're looking for a drama to get you up and down and still make you laugh then you should definitely watch Vagabond

Hmmm okay. This was a jooourney.First of all, I want to address that I rank shows purely based on my personal enjoyment of it. Even if a drama is objectively bad, if I had a good time watching it, it'll probably be a 9 or + .
Vagabond might be my favorite drama from the last couple of years. I genuinely connected with the characters and story. I couldn't stop watching, something that rarely happens to me with any type of show. By episode 11, I could feel my heart in my throat (is that an expression in English or is it only of Spanish? lol). I was literally running out of breath by some scenes and situations.
I loved the main characters (Hae-ri and Dal-geon). I really didn't care about Tae-ung but he was ok I guess. Actors who portrayed evil characters did it amazingly. I hated them so much, lol. Even side characters were great, my favorite one was Lily. The lack of romance was an extra point for me (I don't mind it, but I was super focused on the plot and I think adding a lot of romance would have ruined it)
Talking about the plot, there were so many plot twists it was hard to follow but I dig it. I like how you never knew who was actually good and who was actually bad in the story. The drama itself was really expensive, btw, and I love when dramas are based on multiple locations (in this case, Morocco).
Of course the drama was not perfect, I noticed a couple of small plotholes and things that didn't make sense. The ending was very open, the last scene being the beginning of the first episode... that was cool though. But so many things aren't finished. I'm assuming they wrote this ending with a second season in mind, but there's nothing confirmed yet? That kinda worries me. I need to know what happens between these two. Will they be able to take revenge on Edward? Will Hae-ri discover that Dal-geon is not dead? Will they end up together? Will we ever know? That's the question lol.
I'm giving this a 10 out of my enjoyment. The plot is not a 10 though, but still. If there isn't any future seasons then I'm sad to say I'll have to lower my score.
