This is amazing
For the starters I have been seeing people compare this to Eve. Eve comes no where near this. That is a tacky piece of watch with bad acting and writing. Whereas ANNA is a masterpiece.Please watch it.
By the time I already decided on watching it, the version had already come out so I started with that only, and boi 8 hours went by and I was fully immersed in this.
First of all bae Suzy you're a queen, your acting was so beautiful here, I am in love.
This cinematography was so beautifully shot, they covered the period from the early 1990s till 2020 and woah loved the transition

Read till the end to find out.
Vagabond is not your average typical Kdrama. From the cast to the film making, plot and direction included, everything is so well rounded and brilliant.[Lee Seungi is my new favourite actor <3]
The well knitted conspiracies that are dug into deeper in every new episode will just blow your mind. It just shows how the real world is full of dirty politics at every step. And don't be mistaken just because it's got politics and syndication. It won't bore you. Every setting and scene has something to unveil to the audience, there's no fillers at all.
And then there's action and romance, too.
The main characters have so much chemistry. It's wholesome. Puts a smile on your face unknowingly.
Also, Cha Dal Gun is what? The Korean Tom Cruise? The action scenes give you life. They are so awesome.
Not to forget Shin sung rok as Ki Taewoong, you'd love his upright character. Dude is a wonderful actor.
The team's put in a lot of effort and it shows.
Highly recommended.

UNDERWHELMING AF
ep 1-7, hella potential.ep 8-12 absolutely ass
what was this shitty af plot. you wasted all the potential it held. and for heaven's sake write a better female lead. this was a humiliation, lmao
the plot was underwhelming, all over the place and just not it. gicheul's character went from being cool to absolutely pathetic and foolish real fast. like wtf bro. they worked hard on Junmo's arc and that's it. that too towards the end was so easy and lame. overall very disappointed. the characters could have been written in more depth. but no. gicheul was like a child who was stuck on a crush. the FL despite being such a high ranked officer was shown as a useless girl in a teen drama stuck in love triangle. WRITE BETTER FL AND BETTER CHARACTERS OVERALL

the exact reason why I started watching kdramas in the first place.
such a beautiful healing drama. very therapeutic. if you're going through a rough patch in life, doesn't have to be a break up, can be anything like failure or some other personal grief, watch this. love the male lead and and the female lead. well written characters. absolutely love the fl's sister and the assistant in the ml's office such wholesome characters. also this drama has what i look for in kdramas. my first kdrama was age of youth, a very lovely slice of life, healing drama, very raw and relatable. bora deborah has that exact thing, that raw, healing element. the characters are natural and kind too. 10/10 recommendWas this review helpful to you?
bae Suzy u queen ?
Bae suzy is one of a kind, guys. she is versatile and pure magic on the screen. I have seen ALL of her dramas. and I have always loved her characters, always something new to offer and bring to the table. Never repetitive or boring. the drama is a good slice of life slow burn romance. the characters are ALL v lovablethere could have been some betterment in the execution and writing, bcs some scenes felt empty, and it got v slow at times, to the point it got frustrating. but this has value for sure. bae suzy defo brings so much flavor to it.

PROGRESSIVE STORY, AND THE IDEAL MALE LEAD
Alright, I will tell you why you should be watching this drama right now;1) the story is very progressive, in episode 2 there is a minor conversation between the characters which indicates a disregard for gender roles which I really liked, I mean gender roles really really need to be crushed. Then this is a story that has a lot of things going on and one of the most central parts of it is the uprisings that were going on in that time in 1980, it talks about students fighting for democracy and fighting against the injustices, and the male lead is not toxic which brings us to,
2) OK so the thing about male leads is that we have always been introduced to male leads who are shown to be powerful because they have a lot of physical strength, they are protecting the female lead using their physical strength (NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT JUST BE IT TO A CHARACTER) and imposing their masculinity in that way while they're protecting the female lead. their characters would be like extremely brooding, and arrogant to the female lead because they have had a bad past. The average rich guy who hates his parents for how unfair they are and so he is rude. We have been conditioned to like them because that's all that we have been introduced to but this male lead is different, he is a rich guy but he is not your average rich guy he is sweet smart, extremely smart, and he is handsome, he is protective, chivalrous he is I don't know if they will mention it in the future episodes or not but he is such a feminist, he is such a respectful human being, so respectful and so caring, thoughtful and observant, which makes him such a gentleman. I absolutely love love love the male lead and lee do hyun does an excellent job playing this character, with that sweet smile of his.
3) Strong female lead
4) There's a scene on a race track in the second episode, that scene is just so amazing and you learn so much from it about how should keep up the hussle till the very end.
5) IT'S A PERIOD DRAMA FFS
JUST WATCH IT
P.S I AM GONNA UPDATE A REVIEW AFTER EVERY TWO EPISODES I WATCH. SO FAR IT'S JUST BEEN 3
