The Best Action Thriller I’ve Watched So Far
So far, out of all the action/thriller and psychological dramas I’ve watched, I think Vigilante is the one I enjoyed the most and probably my favorite in this genre.
I’m sure the drama has its flaws, but honestly, these genres sometimes start with a great premise and an interesting idea, only to lose themselves somewhere along the way or become repetitive and boring. Vigilante, however, surprised me.
I started it without any particular expectations, and after watching all 8 episodes, I can honestly say that there wasn’t a single episode that felt boring or slow to me. Some scenes might have felt excessive to some viewers, but personally, I think that was part of what made the drama work. It doesn’t shy away from showing a harsh and brutal reality.
The acting was excellent, the fight scenes were incredibly well done, and even the OST fits the drama perfectly and adds even more intensity to the atmosphere.
As for the ending, I actually liked that it was intentionally open-ended. It still has a clear meaning and doesn’t feel unfinished just for the sake of leaving room for another season, so I don’t have much to complain about there.
But what I appreciated the most is how much this drama makes you think. It makes you question things, come up with your own theories and, at times, even ask yourself difficult questions about justice, the law and what people are willing to do when they believe the system has failed them.
At least for me, a drama that manages to involve me this much is absolutely worth a 10.
