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!
