"A big twist for a playful boy... Nam Joo-hyuk's acting transformation in 'Vigilante'"


The person who brought a pleasant unfamiliarity to Nam Joo-hyuk was Kim Ji-yong of Disney+'s 'Vigilante'. This is because Nam Joo-hyuk's face, wearing the mask of Kim Ji-yong, a police student during the day and a Vigilante at night, was engraved with a subtle madness and unfulfilled emptiness that had never been seen before. Nam Joo-hyuk shows the ambiguous border between good and evil in the process of his unique cheerfulness and sharp coolness intertwining. As he listens to the news about criminals committing atrocities, his fists, which were clenched, are stretched out in front of the criminals. In addition, Kim Ji-yong's expressionless eyes, seen through the deeply pressed hood, glow as if blood vessels will burst in front of those who have been punished but show no remorse.

In episode 5 of 'Vigilante', under an overpass, Jo Heon and Vigilante Kim Ji-yong name each other's thoughts on 'justice'. Jiyong Kim said, “If there is a person who destroys the lives of others, shows no remorse even after receiving leniency, and is released to make the same mistake again, is it right to do so if you can save the lives of more good people by depriving that one person of their human rights? “Is this wrong?” he asks Jo Heon in a blood boiling voice.

Nam Joo-hyuk showed unbreakable venom by glaring at Yoo Ji-tae with unwavering eyes even though he was covered in blood. Looking back on Nam Joo-hyuk's filmography, I think this is probably the first time I've seen this level
of venom.

The sight of Nam Joo-hyuk staring at himself in the mirror while wearing a police academy uniform, and the way Nam Joo-hyuk's eyes become more empty instead of pure as time passes, are impressive.

Just as there are various portraits of youth, wouldn’t Nam Joo-hyuk be able to express youth with new faces? I think I saw that possibility in Kim Ji-yong's eyes in 'Vigilante'.

"Disney+ K-drama review: Vigilante – thrilling crime series starring Nam Joo-hyuk that explores the different sides of justice doesn’t lose steam"

Korean dramas tend to open strongly. New characters and storylines are then continually added to keep up momentum – but even the best shows can struggle to juggle all these new pieces as they get added to the mix. Disney+’s Vigilante certainly came out of the gate strongly when it debuted its first three episodes to acclaim at this year’s Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, with vigorous set pieces and punchy pacing. At the end of the month, all these elements came together in a largely satisfying climax as Nam Joo-hyuk’s Vigilante (also known as Kim Ji-yong) faced off with each side of the justice system in a bare-fisted dust-up in the murky sewers underneath the city. The philosophising adds a nourishing layer to the show, but at the end of the day Vigilante is still very much pulp fiction. It comes alive in its set pieces and characters lean in to caricature for effect.

Like many recent streaming series, this one leaves the door open for a season 2 and, for once, this actually makes sense.

Regarding the continued positive reviews after the release of 'Vigilante', Yoo Ji-tae said, "It's always like that, but this work was fun. I wish a season 2 would be made, so it's a happy story for me. “It’s not bad to get a good response this time and work on the next work, but in a way, I think it’s what I wish for as a colleague to form a team and work on the next work as is,” he said.

Regarding the physical comparison with Nam Joo-hyuk, who co-starred in this work, “In the original work, Kim Ji-yong had a dwarf physique. Nam Joo-hyuk is similar in height to me. He loves sports and is good at it. He was a bit surprised when he first saw it. As if he had already become Batman, he saw the finished Vigilante. In that case, Jo Heon should have overwhelming physical strength, but I thought it was a big problem. So he thought he would have to increase his dosage even more than expected. And Nam Joo-hyuk was cool. He thought he could attract overseas fans. And our two shots were cool. “I thought he could compete with overseas dark heroes.”


When asked about his satisfaction with the results of ‘Vigilante’, Yoo Ji-tae said, “I am satisfied with the results of the drama. Because they are crying out for season 2. Even if season 2 doesn't make it, I think it's a valuable work just because I did my best. “All works are precious,” he replied, and about the scene he loves most in the drama, “There is the ending of Part 5 and the scene where Kim Ji-yong’s values ​​and Jo Heon’s values ​​collide."

'Vigilante', the punishment for crime is violence instead of law... Exhilarating and bitter dark hero story'

Nam Joo-hyuk, who played the role of Kim Ji-yong, successfully portrayed a dark hero character that is not easy to digest. Unlike traditional heroes, who are just even in the process of implementing their values, dark heroes must show madness and radicalism that can ignore morality and laws while being good. Nam Joo-hyuk expressed refined, not excessive madness with clear, calm eyes and a slight smile when dealing with the evildoers released by the law.

Lee Jun-hyuk, who plays the role of Jo Kang-ok, a helper who is a hero figure collector, clearly expressed the frivolity and pure sense of justice like a younger adult, creating a pleasant pause, while Yoo Ji-tae, who plays the role of Jo Heon, who is tall and bulky, shows the goji knowledge of a system guardian with a dull and iron-clad sense of weight. He showed off it without hesitation.

"Three reasons why Nam Joo-hyuk x Yoo Ji-tae's 'Vigilante' is a hit"


The popularity of the Disney Plus original series ‘Vigilante’ is unusual. 'Vigilante' ranked first in the content rankings for the third week of November, selected by Kinolights, an OTT integrated search and recommendation platform. As soon as it was released on the 8th, it ranked first in the Disney Plus Korea Top 10 TV Shows category.


◇ Attractive ‘Dark Hero’

Although dark heroes are literally 'heroes', they have several flaws compared to traditional heroes. The same goes for Kim Ji-yong (Nam Joo-hyuk), the dark hero of ‘Vigilante’. He is a police student who protects the law during the day, but at night he evades the law and personally judges criminals. Vigilante is an Italian word meaning vigilante. Jiyong said to the perpetrators who committed wrongdoing but live freely because of the soft law, “The law is full of loopholes. We show leniency to people who should not receive leniency. He punishes them with violence, saying, “I will fill that hole.”


◇ Increasing immersion with a true story motif ↑


'Vigilante’ is based on a true story to increase immersion. 'Vigilante', an omnibus format that consists of different episodes each episode, reconstructs crimes that actually occurred in our society and then depicts a dark hero named Kim Ji-yong imposing personal sanctions, giving viewers 'catharsis'.

In fact, in 'Vigilante', incidents reminiscent of the Cho Doo-sun incident, the Miryang middle school girl gang rape incident, the death of a Ui-dong apartment security guard, and the Burning Sun incident appear, and Kim Ji-yong is depicted punishing the perpetrators of each incident.

Culture critic Jeong Deok-hyeon said, “‘Vigilante’ is a work that makes good use of the strengths of a dark hero. “There is a fantasy element given by the word ‘hero’ itself, but we pursued realism through the darkness of Kim Ji-yong’s character and a series of events that occur in real society,” he said, adding, “Viewers will also find it more exciting.”


◇Various perspectives on ‘Vigilante’

It is also interesting that ‘Vigilante’ shows Kim Ji-yong’s personal sanctions from various perspectives. People who think Vigilante is a social hero, police officers who think Vigilante is a crime rather than justice, reporters who are curious about Vigilante's psychology and want to know his identity, and people who try to use Vigilante for their own gain. It illuminates evenly.

By portraying Vigilante from a variety of perspectives rather than just a 'hero', it makes viewers think about what true 'justice' is. In addition, the dark hero's side effects are not left out, as crimes imitating Vigilante appear and things go differently from the justice Jiyong pursued.

Accordingly, the actors of ‘Vigilante’ expressed their gratitude to subscribers who sent their love until the last episode, attracting attention.

First, Nam Joo-hyuk, who played the role of Kim Ji-yong, a model police student who acts as the dark hero Vigilante created by the world, repaid the love of subscribers by sending a handwritten message despite being in military service, saying, “I am sincerely grateful to everyone who loved Vigilante.” .

Yoo Ji-tae, who played the role of Jo Heon, a monster detective with overwhelming physical strength, gave a sensible ending impression quoting the line that enthralled many people: “Can I speak informally from now on?”

Lee Jun-hyuk, who showed off his charming acting transformation as Jo Kang-ok, a second-generation Vigilante fanatic of a chaebol, said, “Thank you for loving Vigilante! Jiyong Kim! “See you again,” he said along with his thanks and a witty message using the character’s relationship.

Kim So-jin, who plays Choi Mi-ryeo, a reporter racing to exclusively report on Vigilante, expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you very much for being with us until the end.”

"‘Vigilante’ is a work that leads to new discoveries by Nam Joo-hyuk. It's hard to be surprised when you see a face for the first time, but even the action is perfect. It helped establish itself as an action restaurant that stimulates exhilarating emotions, to the point where one wonders why it decided to try an action thriller only now. He has shown a wide spectrum of acting through various works, and has succeeded in transforming his acting without limits by covering genres as well.

Although he is a dark hero character, Nam Joo-hyuk's narrative-filled eyes convey feelings of compassion and make us understand Vigilante's activities. Nevertheless, there is a coolness in the eyes that quickly changes into boiling anger with hostility toward the criminal, creating surprise.

It is no exaggeration to say that Nam Joo-hyuk did this work perfectly, where acting that slowly reveals one's inner self was more important than expressing intense emotions. The complex emotions of the character, who can seem cold, lonely, and sometimes empty, were conveyed through Nam Joo-hyuk. Above all, Nam Joo-hyuk's colorful expressions of anticipation and anger shown at the end of each episode stimulate viewers' dopamine.


Nam Joo-hyuk's vocalization and breathing while delivering the lines also increased the sense of immersion. In episodes 5 and 6, I couldn't take my eyes off Nam Joo-hyuk, who was increasingly expressing his trapped emotions during the confrontation with Jo Heon (Yoo Ji-tae). He, who has always hidden his emotions, expressed his anger and sadness as if he was not afraid of death. He delivered long lines reliably and led the play with a character that evoked sympathy.

The face hidden by the black hood seemed to sparkle in the darkness. With only the last episode left to be released, we are even more excited to see what kind of face Nam Joo-hyuk, who conveys a two-faced image, will show in his acting."

This is Nam Joo-hyuk’s new discovery. It's hard to be surprised when you see a face for the first time, but even the action is perfect.

"Lee Jun-hyuk risked his life for Nam Joo-hyuk... Yoo Ji-tae is in a coma 'crisis' (Vigilante)"


'Vigilante' is drawing an explosive response with the birth of a new dark hero and exciting developments that follow one another. Vigilante (Nam Joo-hyuk), who received a bloody challenge, and Jo Heon, who fell into a coma after being attacked by Mr. Bang (Shin Jeong-geun) and his group. (Yoo Ji-tae), Jo Kang-ok (Lee Jun-hyuk) who risked his life for Vigilante, and even Choi Mi-ryeo (Kim So-jin) who was attacked by a gunman. The tension is raised to the highest level by foreshadowing the characters facing different crises.


In this 7th episode, Jo Heon falls into a coma after a life-threatening battle with Mr. Bang, the best assassin last week, causing great shock. Due to Jo Heon's absence, Nam Young-il (Won Hyun-jun) is newly appointed as the head of the investigation team and begins to narrow the investigation net into Vigilante's identity.

Nam Young-il, who visited the police station following Jo Heon's investigation route, visits Kim Ji-yong and interrogates her about the Choi Mi-ryeo attack, saying, "Tell me everything about where you were and what you were doing at that time." With a strange sense of tension, attention is being paid to whether Vigilante's identity will be revealed.


In the face of the police and the great evil that are strangling him, Jiyong Kim draws up a different plan, saying, “I will make you another Vigilante,” and his actions begin to become more bold. However, the forces of great evil also murder the innocent citizens that Vigilante helped, and leave a bloody message on the wall: 'Stop hiding, Vigilante, if you don't want to see any more innocent people die.'


Vigilante explodes with anger at those who challenge him head-on, amplifying the tension as to how he will move forward. Jo Kang-ok, who finally joins hands with Vigilante, is enthusiastic about Vigilante's actions, and she helps him in her own way, predicting a mad dash.

Meanwhile, Nam Young-il sits alone with Choi Mi-ryeo and begins to pressure her to get information about Vigilante. Choi Mi-ryeo, who does not give in to external pressure, continues to broadcast explicit stories about Sewol Future Resources and Vigilante, and as he is attacked by a mysterious force, the tension doubles as to whether he will be able to escape the danger. The life-threatening clash of the four characters facing different crises will create explosive tension and captivate viewers with an unstoppable race toward the ending.
