Vigilante has blown my mind. It has ticked every one of my boxes thus far. I do not exaggerate when I say that every single second of the four episodes I've seen had me HOOKED. Every second.
Yes, I do mean that unironically 👀
I'm not coherent rn, nor will I ever be about this I think, but if you enjoyed Taxi Driver and are waiting for season 3, like me, you can NOT miss this show. It's been adapted from a web toon (not sure how well) and while it is on the darker side (more so than Taxi Driver, because the consequences for the bad guys are significantly worse), it has a beautiful lightness to it that (refreshingly!) doesn't trivialise the deeper themes but in fact charges the whole show with emotion and nuance. The friendships and the mentoring are not too on the nose but instead perfectly balance the protagonist's lonelier and darker side.
So very gratifying to watch a kdrama that delivers like this after a long time. The action. The acting. The music. The drama. The writing. The pace. The plot. They did not pull any punches, good lord.
I have to say that the ending of the fourth episode delivered a full course meal. I could NOT be more satisfied. Which is why I'm here! Ranting about it to you! Go watch it if you're looking for some quality escapism 🙌
dogi and goeun doesn't even have to be physically together in a scene, just them talking to each other is an explosive chemistry rush bc why is goeun flirting mid-mission and why is dogi smiling like that
Regarding the news of Season 3 production, Shin Jae Ha said, “Since Ha Joon is already dead in the drama, it is highly likely that I would not appear the next season, but I’m still cautiously hoping to join the team in Season 3”, adding “I had so much fun filming the drama with the seniors so I want to work with them again. I’m upset that my character has killed so many people, so I personally want On Ha Joon to return alive as a member of Rainbow Taxi Company. If not, I really want to come out as Ha Joon’s twin brother”.
