Vagabond is extremely fast-paced and action-packed, with countless twists and turns. The premise is devastating and compelling, pulling you instantly onto the side of the male lead, Cha Dal Geon, played by Lee Seung Gi. While I commend his fearlessness and feel for his grief, I also shook my head at his hotheaded temper and impulsiveness. Sometimes I wish he would be more cautious or thorough. I'm not a huge fan of Suzy but thought she did a solid job as the female lead Go Hae Ri. My favorite characters were actually supporting characters: Ki Tae Woong, Gong Hwa Sook (Hwang Bo Ra is hilarious), and Lily (love her bickering with Kim Do Soo).

However, there are so many different people involved in the conspiracy that it can be overwhelming. It was sometimes difficult to track how much time had passed. Sometimes events were occurring concurrently, but sometimes we'd be going back in time, flashbacks came into play every once in a while, and then other times days had passed? Towards the end, I especially felt more aware of plot holes, recklessness, and ridiculousness. I would have also liked to see more depth and layers for many characters. Overall though, very entertaining. I hope there's a second season to complete the story. The last episode didn't feel like a final episode at all but more like an American mid-season/winter finale.
