“The actors generally did their part well. Nam Joo Hyuk, who accounts for the most part and will continue to do so, exceeds expectations.”

Yoo Ji-tae said at the production presentation for the Disney+ original series 'Vigilante' held at the Grand Intercontinental Grand Ballroom in Gangnam, Seoul on the 6th, "I think Nam Joo-hyuk will become world-famous. So I look forward to season 2 sometime next year."

In the drama, experts discuss, “Vigilante is a criminal who shakes up the judicial system” and “We need to look back at why citizens are so passionate about dark heroes and overhaul the judicial system.” Monster detective Jo Heon (Yoo Ji-tae) stands in opposition to Vigilante and tries to block his personal sanctions. In addition, an episode reminiscent of the Cho Doo-sun incident appears, and harsh punishments that are likely to occur in reality are poured out. When you watch episodes 1 to 3, you may feel a sense of déjà vu from what you saw in real life, and the bitterness will not leave you.
The story of 'Vigilante' is expected to become more complex and rich as the series progresses.

It deals with social issues such as assault without question, sexual assault of minors, and drugs, and makes you think about the meaning of 'Vigilante'. While presenting various perspectives on law and justice, it raises the topic of how the media and judicial system will behave if private sanctions become a social phenomenon.
The story unfolds in chronological order so anyone can easily understand it. It unfolds quickly with an omnibus structure and does not miss the genre pleasures of revenge and action.
The good performances of the actors also increase immersion. Nam Joo-hyuk, who plays the title role, delicately portrays the dual-faced role of Kim Ji-yong, presenting a new face that has never been seen before. He also delivers catharsis by perfectly executing agile and striking actions.
Yoo Ji-tae dominates the screen just by appearing. In order to realistically express Jo Heon, the most dominant character in the 'Vigilante' worldview and the owner of the superpower that crushes coins with one hand, he gained weight by 20 kg and overwhelms the atmosphere with his extraordinary aura. Lee Jun-hyuk, who plays Jo Kang-ok, does not appear until episode 3, raising expectations about what kind of performance he will perform afterward.
Nam Joo-hyuk's new face that embraces innocence, anger, and even madness, Yoo Ji-tae's endless transformation that exceeds expectations every time, and director Choi Jeong-yeol's elegant directing ability that asks true questions about social justice. This is a masterpiece that harmonizes three elements.
It's not just an action movie, but it's also fun for it's thought-provoking social discussion. Kim Ji-yong says, "Some crimes deserve to be criminalized," while the pundits who criticize him call Vigilante a "petty criminal. In today's era where violent crimes are rampant, Vigilante's behavior is both cathartic and also made us think about the dilemma of using violence to payback crime that the law can't. It also resonates with a variety of problematic phenomena in modern society, such as the media's blind pursuit of scoops and the overreaching of individual broadcaster that leads to form a public sympathy.

Nam Joo-hyuk has mainly shown his heartwarming charm as the "romantic lead" in many of his works, Not only does he pull off a sharp and solid actions as Kim Ji-yong but he does a great job of portraying a character who is neither absolutely good nor absolutely evil, and the way he gradually becomes "darker" as he punished the evildoers.

Kim So-jin and Yoo Ji-tae also add to the level of immersion by their captivating portrayals of Choi Mi-ryeo, who alternately causes irritation and 'cathartic' feeling between her obsession with scoops and her journalistic integrity, and Cho Heon, who exudes a mysterious charm. It will be interesting to see how Cho Kang-ok, who will be played by Lee Joon-hyuk, who has yet to appear, will be integrated in the subsequent drama to build the story, and whether the drama will be able to run to the end without losing the pace and balance of the first half. It will be released on Disney+ on the 8th.
