ストーリーは良いですが、時々非常に遅く感じられ、ストーリーは複雑です。私もキャストは良くないと思います。主人公はロマンスドラマや悲しいドラマに最適です。完璧なドラマ、完璧なキャスティング、完璧な演技、完璧な表現、完璧なストーリー、完璧な演出、完璧な音楽、素晴らしい一連の出来事、あらゆる点で最高のシリーズの一つに分類される素晴らしいシリーズディズニーによる2023年の。これは、プロモーション、予算をかけて待つ価値のあるシリーズです。Was this review helpful to you?

Nam Joo-hyuk: The Versatile Actor Who Leaves Audiences in Awe.
Nam Joo-hyuk's acting, He is truly an exceptional talent who brings so much depth to his characters. It's fascinating how effortlessly he portrays different personas, leaving us in awe of his versatility. The second fake vigilante( i forgot his name ) who helped jiyong in the series definitely left us with so many questions, right? i am hoping for a second season that will provide more insights into his background and origins. Nam Joo-hyuk's acting is praiseworthy, and I can't wait to see more amazing performances from him in the future!His ability to bring authenticity and emotional depth to every character he plays is truly remarkable. Whether he's portraying a complex, troubled soul or a charming and charismatic individual, Nam Joo-hyuk's talent shines through. And those anger scenes? They are so powerful and intense, showcasing his ability to express himself physically and emotionally in a captivating way.
The Vigilante is such a great series, and I wish that it would have been awesome if Seonwook didn't die and if they had exposed the truth in the end. It's those unexpected twists and turns that keep us on the edge of our seats, right? I'm eagerly waiting for a second season.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that the crew of the show hear our wishes and give us another season with the same incredible cast. Nam Joo-hyuk's talent is truly infinite, and I have no doubt that he will continue to captivate us with his performances in the future. So let's stay tuned and eagerly anticipate what's to come!

The acting was insane. I love it!
This will be put next to "My name".Kim So-Jin did an excellent job portraying Choi Mi-Ryeo and Lee Joon-Hyuk portrayed Cho Kang Ok. Their talent is brilliant.
I fell in love with Joo Hyuk Nam in "25,21", where he did an amazing job. In this role, where Kim Ji-Yong was so different from Baek I-Jin, we could see how talented he could be.
And Yoo Ji-Tae as Cho He-on, GOD, brilliant.
The fight scenes were insane.
I'm going to leave my favorite lines from each episode here.
Ep. 1:
"I think it's because many criminals think they were caught because of the victims. It seems they blamed the victim, rationalize their behavior, and commit crimes again."
"There is a void in the law. It is often lenient to bad guys who don't deserve this. Now I'll fill that void. This is justice."
Ep. 2:
"Heavens's net. I'm sorry. Forgive." Tao Te Ching
"Don't worry. This isn't the age of Arsene Lupin. The evidence will turn up. And he'll get caught eventually. I guarantee it. People will forget about the Vigilante. I will make sure of it."
Ep. 3:
"The one who breaks the law better than anyone else is being protected by it. The one who obeyed the law better than anyone else wasn't protected in any way. So I thought about it. I think some crimes can be punished by crimes."
Ep. 4:
"If the Vigilante is caught and it turns out he's a steady and righteous person, with a good job and a good reputation, and if he's even young and good-looking, the public will go wild. Beyond our control."
Ep. 5:
The "battle" between The Vigilante and Cho Heon was amazing. There are so many good lines.
"People like you become monsters eventually."
"And that's why I feel sorry for you. [...] If you slightly change direction, you could become such a great police officer."
Ep. 6: "I don't care what the world calls me! Because this is my calling. The calling that's perfect for me, because I have nothing to lose! It to become a devil to kill other devils."
"Don't just talk about it and show me that the law won't let them have their way and will punish them! Show me your justice really exists!"
What a great fight, Mr. Cho Heon.
Ep. 7:
"To prove himself a man beat his head against a wall and tried."
Ep. 8:
"I'll be live what you're doing... is the right thing."
Ahh, this scene broke my heart.
"Unclench your fists. This is what you accomplished. You don't need to prove it. Because the proposition was a lie.[...] Let the law punish him.[...] I'll prove to you that despite its inconsistencies, the law ultimately does what's right."
That being said: SESON 2?!

What an EPIC drama !!
what an epic series. OMG can't wait for the second season. Please I think we all want the same cast. The whole cast was ?.VIGILANTE is a must-watch for anyone seeking a K-drama that not only delivers thrilling plotlines but also showcases a lead actor at the peak of his craft.
VIGILANTE is a triumph in every sense of the word. It successfully marries an engaging plot with exceptional performances, high-quality production values, and a profound exploration of societal issues. This K-drama not only entertains but also challenges its audience to think critically about the world we live in. VIGILANTE has undoubtedly raised the bar for future K-dramas, setting a standard that will be hard to surpass. A true gem that deserves all the acclaim it receives!

THIS WILL SNATCH YOUR WIG
Just finished the last few episodes and I NEED MORE!!!!I need a season 2. Nam Joohyuks comeback from the military is ICONIC. One of his best roles, and best K-Dramas I watched this year. Truly no K-Drama had me quite in this type of grip.
There is only one negative thing i’ve got to say about it, and its that I can’t find the OST or Soundtrack of this show!! The outro they used in ep2 is AMAZING. I NEED THE SONG!!! I tried to shazam it and searched for it but nowhere to be found. So if anyone knows…let me know.
But once again, this was such a good 8 episode drama. Usually the best K-Dramas tend to be 8 episodes, which is so frustrating! I don’t think anything has been confirmed for another season but I truly hope they don’t let this show die.
Gripping storyline, acting and characters. Nam Joohyuk has always been one of my favourite actors so seeing him in this type of role was exhilarating.
Lots of great actors in general. I’m in love!
Please watch it!! You won’t regret!!!

Glad this exists.
The story, the cast, everything seems on point.I don't know in which order I should express my feelings/rating about this show.
Plotwise: awesome, not forced, logical, realistic, relatable, not stretched/far fetched
Actors: great casting, great acting, these characters fit them like a glove(or they made them fit which would be even more upstanding)
Soundtrack: decent overall, not exagerated or overused, almost perfect; would've been great to get just a little more out of it to make it trully "glow"
Production: great scenes and cuts, dialogues, prologues to important scenes
Big thumbs up for production/stunt crew/actors etc. that they didn't exagerate(too much) in fights or action scenes, but still made it enjoyable and cursive.
I would recommend everyone to watch this. Sincerely, a great show without using the romance, revenge(kind of used at the beginning, but just as a medium), time skip/return plot, but at the same time they didn't go overboard with the script and make it too dramatic on a point that it's not realistic/relatable/enjoyable.

Fighting for justice in an injustice world
Vigilante is based on a webtoon with the same name. Prior to watching this, I've read the webtoon to get better understanding but stopped halfway after I completed the series.To date, this is, perhaps, one of the best miniseries in k-drama land. It blends action, thriller, psychological, and crime genre perfectly. It uses 'fighting for justice in my own way even though it's wrong' trope heavily. We see the ML (Kim Ji-yong) had a traumatic past as his mother was murdered and the murderer got a short-sentence in prison. After ML grew up, he came across the murderer again and beat him brutally. At last, he made up his mind to become a vigilante (a serial killer, to be precise) - to protect the world and the innocent people from injustice by dealing with the criminals with his own hands since the law couldn't be trusted anymore.
Nam Joo-hyuk portrays Kim Jiyong seamlessly and expresses various emotions versatilely - he's as good as a pyscho, I really love it. Yoo Ji-tae also does well as Cho Heon - a detective who was sent to arrest the vigilante. I'm really impressed by Kim So-jin - the one who acts as Choi Mi-ryeo - she's maybe some kind of lunatic, but she still got her own sense of justice and was willing to help the vigilante as she could as possible. Lastly, Lee Joon-hyuk as Cho Kang-ok is a great fan and a big support of vigilante as well - like his funny banter with Ji-yong...
I've no more words to describe it anymore - but yes, this dark tale deserves more attention from the public and the rating could've gone higher. After Vigilante, another miniseries, which is 'A Killer Paradox', tries to duplicate it, but falls short compared to this one. If you love pyscho plot with a blend of action thriller genre, you can give this a shot. Warning: Lots of bloody and violent scenes, don't try it at home.

A very good/short thriller drama!
This drama was highly anticipated for me, and it did not disappoint (overall).The storyline was actually pretty good, but the last 2 episodes felt a bit rushed...
The characters were amazing, and the actors did a great job!
Overall a really good drama for when you don't want to commit to 16+ episodes (although this one should've gotten 10 instead). Will definitely rewatch!

This show has what other K-drama doesn't have!
After Evillive, I've seen the trend of shorter drama, which I really like, coz it means1. No unnecessary flashback or draggy story of ML past, just enough to give context
2. No filter scenes or cringey romance that only makes thriller more complicated than exciting
3. No "save me" princess FL in it
It's a pure 100% thriller, focusing on plot, story, action, this is how thriller should be done!!
I really love the pairing of Jiyong-Kang ok! Kang ok is like a big kid, so funny to watch. If you're pissed by FL in 1st episode like I do, stay on. She turned out to be a real crazy bitch you'll come to love for her bad-ass-ness!
I also love how Jo Heon in the end, and it's funny how he is like a korean hulk in this show lol...
All the casts come together to play their part, leading to a mega ending, its very impressive!
The ending is also unexpected, very well-done, although I am also sad when Seon Wook died, but at same time I am touched by his love for his friend and I believe this is what he'd have wanted as well, to protect and support Vigilante, right till the end.
This is cherry on the cake. Ji Yoing is SO handsome! It makes it easy to watch
It's really one of my favorite show where I don't have to fast forward at all!
The only thing is....my personal though is that such dark hero concept is sth that I would be happy in a fictional world only. In reality, I still think no murder can be justified
That aside, go and watch the show.

A common man's take on Justice
An adrenaline rush, Vigilante stands as one of the better originals Disney+ has put out this year. Not a single second of the K-drama is never really wasted on filler or unnecessary scenes.Although not exactly an innovative premise, Vigilante is still worth a watch: if not for the expertly choreographed fight scenes and masterful cinematography, then probably to reflect on the judicial system and what it truly stands for.
The acting was decent and the action was good which was based more on suspense and violence. The story was great. The characters were diverse and interesting l, although the message delivery could have been more impactful.
My Rating : 7/10
