A season two would not be too much
The story is overall good. However, it may be too cliché and some scenes are not realistic but very much bearable and still very enjoyable. Furthermore, until the episode 12, the political aspect is boring (I've almost skipped them all). Aside of that (political aspect), everything is capticating in the story. Basically, the team of the hero is searching the truth despite of all the obstacles (manipulation, betrayal, corruption, fighting/killing) in their path. The last three episodes were the best because since the episode 13, even the political aspect becomes surprisingly interesting and entertaining. The twist is what I've also enjoyed a lot! A second season will be welcomed, without a doubt!The acting is great, they are doing a good job in their respective roles. The music is very good
Would I want to rewatch it again ? Certainly not the episodes in the middle of the drama but the firsts three episodes and the last three episodes yes I would.

The story caught up on me from the very beginning, and the cliffhangers just kept me coming for more and more. The action is quite amazing and the fight choreography is also good, except I didn't like the excessive use of shaky cam, it threw me off so often. The music is great to listen to and the acting is, I would say good enough to watch without any problems. The lead of course screams so often, not sure if it is over the top or whether he is just venting off by screaming.
Oh and note that the story doesn't end at the end, in fact, it just opens up more corruption within the country. So I really hope there will be a second season.

The writing is predictable and the twists aren't that shocking, if there's one thing that must be changed about this is the writing, because the production is amazing, it's on movies level, I'm so disappointed with the writing because this could've been made into something so much better, the story line isn't something that'll hook you especially if you're as picky as I am, and the chemistry between the leads wasn't good, at all, it was rather cheap, and so goes for the comedy and the love triangle thing with sung rok, and suzy literally existed to just be in love with the male lead for most of the series, she was given a strong role but it was just the title, she was a special agent but she wasn't that good, and as for sung gi, a stuntman can't pull all of that, he can't just fight with trained men and agents and knock them all to the ground, it was very unrealistic, I wish someone else other than suzy played this role, with different writing and someone who can actually act instead of suzy this could've been something, but the ending is something, I'll watch season 2 if there's one Esta resenha foi útil para você?

One of the best dramas I've seen. Beautiful shots and the colouring is awesome, I love how the ending and beginning are entangled, and it'd filled with action and plotting. The plot twists makes you wonder who is right and who is wrong. Of course Lee Seung Gi and Bae Suzy are fantastic, but I like the way the drama also gave more than enough screen time to other actors and behind the scene plans at different intervals of the drama. I do wish there was more romance, though you can still tell the affection between the leads. At the end, wonderful story and portrayal, magnificent show. Can't wait for season 2 XD

shitty ending, unrealistic plot progression
the action is very well done but a few things about this series put a bad taste in my mouth. so much of the police/investigative work feels like it was written by people who never actually researched how these things operate, (unless the standard is different in SK). i can't count how many times i rolled my eyes at or laughed at or wanted to skip through scenes where the plot was thoroughly unconvincing because of this. whenever a series does that, it just pulls me out of the story and makes me focus on more technical aspects. secondly, too much of the plots' progress was due to happenstance. while it did have good writing in there, ultimately, the "conveniently finding an answer to this problem that doesn't really make much sense in the bigger picture" got in the way of my ability to enjoy the series. there's also a lot of weirdly placed english in there and being a native english speaker, it was a bit hard to take seriously. but the final straw was the ending. it felt so detached and the lead up was very choppily sewn together. the only thing that would make me see this as slightly less of a problem is if the series gets a second season, otherwise, it's a very poor ending to an interesting premise. the acting was pretty great, nonetheless. and the music was very moving at parts. but all in all, good, suspenseful action isn't enough for me to give this a higher rating. perhaps these things aren't things that bother you too much, so watch for yourself and judge.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Though I'm a bit disappointed to find out that this is a multi-season drama. Part of the reason I watch far more k-drama than American shows is that American shows are too long to keep up with and they never know when to end, until eventually to the point where they end up sucking. Most k-dramas, on the other hand, have a set ending at about 16 or 20 episodes. They are easy to get into and can be very satisfying when the writer knows where they want to end it and knows to do so within that singular season frame. Kind of stinks that the trend is going toward multi-season now. There is also so much uncertainty with multi-season, like the possibility of never finishing if the drama wasn't popular enough (which I know is not the case with this one). Or even if it was popular, we may not see another season for another five years. Looking at you Signal. *sigh*
Yes, this was more of a rant than a review, but felt compelled to. Anyways, great fun drama that is highly recommended if you don't mind waiting who knows how long until it will eventually conclude.

I liked the flow of the story and how it kept me guessing, the unpredictable twists and turns, and the emotionally-loaded decisions the main characters had to make.
LSG once again proved his chops as an action star, the stunts were thrilling and tension filled. It was also nice to see Shin Shung Rok as a good guy this time.
I didn't like the actress who played Jessica that much but it was something I could live with.
All in all I found this to be a great drama. The lack of romance didn't bother me at all.

Esse drama me deu uma sensação de Mega Produção americana no quesito filmagem. Além disso, trouxe uma história com altas conspirações e intrigas politicas que já é praxe em produções estrangeiras, juntando tudo isso em um bolo só você ja começa Vagabond no 12 com a sensação de que o drama tem algo promissor, que o diferencia dos demais.Aquele oppa é maravilhoso, e Susy atuou bem melhor nesse drama do que em qualquer outro que já vi com ela, o receio que tive quando vi que ela seria a protagonista foi embora logo nos primeiros episódios. O restante do elenco também teve atuações excelentes
As cenas de ação foram muito bem produzidas, coisa rara de se ver em doramas, pelo menos se comparado aos que já vi esse foi bem melhor e mais convincente nesse aspecto. E a premissa embora fosse muito batida ( pelo menos pra mim que já vi incontáveis séries e filmes americanos que focam nessa questão de intrigas políticas e altas conspirações de organizações e por aí vai...) Conseguiu me prender durante toda a história sem que ficasse monotono....
É uma história cheia de reviravoltas e conspirações e quando você pensa que sabe quem é o vilão, lá vem os roteiristas te mostrarem que não era bem assim, não é como se tivessem santos nessa história. Vemos que infelizmente todos aqueles que tem algum poder acabaram de alguma forma envolvidos no atentado terrorista do avião. E eu certamente não esperava que aquele personagem fosse o bandidão mor, fiquei chocada com a revelação dele no episodio 15 o que foi aquilo?
Realmente gostei da pitadinha de romance que teve foi muito bonitinha.Essa, foi a primeira vez que assisti algum drama dublado e gostei da experiência, as vozes realmente combinaram com os personagens.
Eu diria que esse drama tem um ritmo frenético e sempre me deixava na expectativa do que viria a seguir, ainda mais porque estava acompanhando o lançamento dos episódios toda semana.
Agora vamos falar sobre o que me incomodou nesse drama:
A Go Hae -Ri no inicio da história era tão inexperiente nas missões que sequer parecia uma agente especial, tiveram momentos que cheguei a duvidar que ela era realmente uma agente capacitada para estar em campo, ora eu pensava que isso poderia ser porque ela sequer tinha sido treinada corretamente seja psicologicamente seja fisicamente,ora suspeitei que se essa não era a pessoa certa para esse serviço ou simplesmente a culpa fosse de sua incompetência kkk terminei o drama sem chegar a uma conclusão sobre isso.
O episodio 13 me deixou com a sensação de que a historia poderia terminar ali sem grandes problemas, o que me incomodou foi que quiseram virar o jogo com reviravoltas demais em um ponto tão avançado da história. O resultado foi um final inacabado com varias pontas soltas, e sequer temos certeza se tera uma 2 temporada ou quando será isso.
Se tudo tivesse terminado nesse episodio no momento que eles descobrem e prendem as pessoas que estavam por trás do atentado suspeito que o final seria bem melhor do que acabou sendo, já que várias coisas tinham sido de alguma forma 'resolvidas' e eu entenderia perfeitamente e aceitaria o desfecho o problema maior pra mim e o ponto que eu gostaria de chegar sobre isso é que: os roteiristas foram com muita sede ao pote e quiseram fazer outra reviravolta que além de não fazer o menor sentido, estragou demais a história, e nos deixaram com a estranha sensação que tudo o que aconteceu até o episódio 16 não passou de uma preparação para a verdadeira história que queriam contar, foi como se o tempo todo eles quisessem chegar nesse ponto duvidoso, onde os protagonistas perdem totalmente a noção do certo e errado para buscar algo que já não se trata de justiça, mas uma vingança cega e desenfreada pura e simplesmente.
Enfim, a conclusão que chego é que apesar dos furos de roteiro que esse tipo de história inevitavelmente acaba tendo mesmo que esperemos o contrário, foi um ótimo drama em termos de fotografia, ritmo, personagens e história interessante, mas que se perdeu nos 45 do segundo tempo e falhou miseravelmente com uma reviravolta meio jogada do final ou se é que posso chamar aquilo de final. Além disso acabaram desvirtuando pessoas que antes faziam tudo certo dentro da lei, para se transformar no extremo oposto de fazer de tudo para alcançar seus objetivo.
Além disso, não acredito que tenha pano para manga para mais 16 episódios de história e suspeito que caso tenha vou acabar não gostando.
O resumo da opera é que se você gosta de dramas regados a muita ação, intrigas e jogos de poder entre organizações deve assistir esse drama sem duvidas, mas não espere que tera um final muito bem amarrado e condizente ou que tera um daqueles romances espetaculares que não é disso que se trata certo?

It was a very good and consistently an engaging watch! ...until the end.
From the first episode, I enjoyed the story. The actions and sets are giving a Mission Impossible feel to it. The leads are doing such a great job, they're quickly established the characters and I got invested really fast. The acting is all just superb; Suzy did her best for her character, Go Hae Ri. Also, Moon Jung Hee was brilliant and intimidating, I love a good villainess. Of course, Lee Seung Gi was AMAZING as an Cha Dal Geun, he is an action hero! I was awed watching him running, jumping, chasing cars and did all those stunts. However, there was so much shaky-camera and it's so unfortunate because the camera was capturing really well-choreographed action sequence.The twist and turns got a little bit too convoluted for me who is not a die hard fan of investigation and crime genres, but I never get bored as the plot is moving and stays high-stake all the way through the end. and yes, as most watchers have mentioned too, I don't like how it ended. Had that scene excluded, the drama would not leave such a frustrating after taste. Especially watching it after years it has aired and knowing there might never be a continuation to the story. That said, I don't regret watching it, one of the best in action genre.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERSSFor overall I have to give ten/ten and there are whys:
Cast and Acting and story too:Vagabond has Really strong cast. I had known it before Vagabond was on air. Lee Seung Gi and Suzy had worked together before Vagabond and at that time their love chemistry had given me emotions, my heart had wanted to explode, In Vagabond their mistery love is hidden. At the end we can see her crying thinking Geon is dead, They've loved.
Rewatch Value: I wish it had more episodes and action was closed, because why why that ending :(. I really want them to find each other. I am begging for another at least 2 episodes which really can close Vagabond story well.
Music: PERFECT artists= PERFECT soundtack= PERFECT ACTION AND EMOTION GIVEN

While submitting the review it asked me to make it 500 words. I don't want write anymore. If anybody reads this can recommend good drama worth watching if you are in the mood. I like mainly action thriller but shouldn't be too slow. But i aslo like good rom coms too.
