The story is really interesting and well written. The acting is also very good. However the end is really disappointing. Number one it's really vague and it makes the viewer curious but offers no answer (so I guess you can make your own judgment). Number two it's really dense. A lot of story happens in a short amount of time (time of the episode). Overall I recommend it and it's a very good series

I think I wasted 16 hours watching what will happen next..but the ending is zero with no justice served to the real culprits, no abrupt end, till episode 15 everything will be okay..but just in one episode they wrapped it up all..without any end..actually ,one will never accept how the story ends.. disappointed. Anyway 9 stars are for the story ,how it goes till 15th episode, the brilliant acting of the cast and the cinematography..16th episode is simply waste of time...

I really wanted to like this series a lot more. It has an interesting premise, a relatable and sympathetic main character, and a relatively good production value.

The good: Generally good acting - at least by the Korean actors. For some reason the non-Korean actors seem to have very little acting ability. A good supporting cast, particularly the feisty NIS agent. Occasionally witty and funny dialogues. Believable actions and reactions of people.

The bad: Shaky camera work. Please stop with this - unless you really know what you're doing, just don't use it. In this case, the shakiness is sloppy and detracts from the action rather than adds to it. I actually ended up having a headache when watching those scenes.

Noteworthy: One of the central characters speaks pretty good Arabic and Spanish, which is keeping in line with their role. Kudos to the series producers for doing this. It might seem like a small detail, but it is a really important one that makes this series believable.

Rating: A solid 7 for now with the hope that the series will improve. I enjoy underdog stories, so naturally I'm rooting for this series to get better.

I'm from Sweden and I'm used to watch American/European movies and series. This series popped up on my Netflix and I gotta say this series went above all my expectations. The female main character is my new crush, and the male character is a beast hahah! Strongly recommended!

This is the first time i am watching a series without realizing i was the end of every episode. the cinema thography, direction, and actors acting was superb and fantastic. i didnt believe it was korean drama for the first time, but it was.

At one time you are grabbing your seat and the next you know you are crying holding your head in your hands. Every act is perfectly proportioned.

I saw the opening credits of the first episode and I jumped from my seat from the excitement after seeing the cast!! The series has amazingly good actors. I usually try to not watch a good serie as soon as it's released, because I don't have the patience to only watch 1-2 episodes per week, but this one popped in my Netflix preview and I clicked on it. Now I'm counting the time until when I can see the next episode. It's a great serie that keeps you glued to the screen. Great action, great play and plot. Really looking forward to see how it continues.

A series perfect for unwinding and enjoying, it has alot of heart and some awesome action scenes. It's funny, sad and goes at a million miles an hour with action. Its well worth the time for action buffs. Not alot better out there in any case.

I love this series. It's very unfortunate that there are only 2 episodes coming out weekly.

I came to see the reviews and was shocked to see 2 negative reviews

What I love about the series is that in just the first episode alone, there is so much happening already. And it does hit on an emotional level. I almost cried after the first episode

Usually series will make the first few episodes boring as they want to spread out the exciting part in the later episodes. But Vagabond definitely took another turn and I really love that they just make every episode as exciting. Other series can definitely learn from this.

Fortunately we have many more episodes to go

Male lead and female lead are both in my favour. Their acting is beyond doubt terrific. Action scene is captivating too.

But seems to me the plot has bugs. I do not think a terrorist attack could so easily be mistaken as accident. And between the exciting action scenes there are boring scenes.

The drama also makes me think of Iris, an extragravant production by LBH. It is also shot in Europe. In term of such big production the plot seems better and much closely tied.

Anyway I still have much hope on the series. Hope it turns out to become a memorable drama.

A stunt man sets out to avenge the death of his nephew, uncovering a massive conspiracy along the way.

I won't go I to details as to the plot - you can read all about it in the other 10,000,000 "reviews" posted here; instead, I'll give an honest opinion of the series:

The first episode felt like a bit of a drag, I kept wondering why bits weren't cut (which certainly would've saved some of the budget), and then recognising someone from mobile phone footage seen a week or so prior seemed like a huge stretch... but once the action kicked in, all was pretty much forgiven.

And let's set the record straight: the action is what we'll all watch it for (albeit, the eye-candy of the female lead is a nice bonus).

I've seen the entire first series so I can tell you: there are parts that drag, there are points where the story feels just too convoluted, where the tone shifts almost to comedy for no reason, or gets too cute, or where the action lets up too much, or the action seems too ridiculous, but overall, it's a decent series worth your time if you're into this kind of thing.

However, the series could've been tighter - one or two episodes easily could've been shaved off for cuts that probably should have been made - and it is very far from perfect, hence the 6 rating.

That said, it held my attention until the end (just about) and there are many out there who would overlook all the concerns I've mentioned, simply because TV & cinema is full of so much s**t nowadays! This probably explains all the 10 ratings you'll see here, even though Vagabond is merely an entertaining series one could easily skip.

The show was good.... Then it ended on a cliffhanger! No talks about a 2nd season either & it's been almost 2 years since the show ended. With such an extended amount of time since the ending, I doubt a 2nd season will happen.

In simpler words-An amazing show in every possible way.

I didn't think I would like but it's a great show , it reminds me of old movies, the hero against all the odds!

First of all i would like to give my rating for this show. It would have been a 10/10 cause it's perfect in everything.

But due to it's unfinished ending I can't...so 9/10.

The ending was just not complete! And I really can't get it! Writers have had 16 episodes to give a complete ending to their story. So the protagonist as much the viewers to have a closure to their feelings.

But no... Writers chose to develop a really dense last episode (which honestly that would have wanted a whole second season) and end it roughly, leaving unanswered questions for the viewers , unknown feelings.

I wonder why this ending has been chosen by the writers , especially when a second season is not to follow.

Really excellent, amazing show in everything but I hated the unfinished ending of the last episode.

It isn't a regular type of KDrama it's completely action packed & the content wise also it's Good. Each actor in this series they just nailed it with there acting. Especially my fav BaeSuzy as GoHaeri

OK only four episodes to this point, but I am hooked. They are released on Netflix, two episodes a week. I won't go into the premise, others will do that. I will just say that the action scenes are taught, slick and well choreographed. This is well worth following. The only criticism I have is that the "nutcase who doesn't know what he's talking about" bit, even though the terrorist incident in question should have been obvious to a blind person, is wearing thin. I hope they resolve that one quickly. Otherwise go for it.

The first few episodes are gripping, but about halfway through it reverts to pantomime performances (though not all actors are guilty), incongruent attempts at romance and humour, and baffling/idiotic character behaviour.

Despite this, an enjoyable and bingeable entertainment.

Lots of reviewers rave about this series. To each his own.

I will just say that after 16 episodes you are left with a cliffhanger and a completely unresolved plot and thus far there is no sign of a second season. Don't waste your time with it as you will only feel like you have been cheated. If they ever produce a second season then consider watching it.
