Vagabond delivered simply by leaving me wanting a second season. This show had a lot going for it, and its casting was near flawless. I thought Suzy and Lee Seung-Gi were exceptional in their roles. The latter in particular highlighted the relentless determination of his character to seek justice for his dead nephew. At the heart of this reckless drive was a despair that veered onto the edges of breakdowns, and the feeling of a character unable to appease his restless guilt until he fixed this. His character was a joy to watch.

Suzy delivered in her role with a performance of realism, humour and authority that made her character enjoyable. Her character dealt with institutional sexism in an agency that never regarded her seriously yet always came to rely on her. Suzy's character lived through a myriad of emotions and lived through all of them very well. Her and Lee Seung-Gi shared strong chemistry that really left you with the sense that Suzy's character was determined to help him as much as possible. Where they shared intimate scenes, the show's emotional pulse hummed. Vagabond didn't disappoint on the action either, as it was laced with some terrific gunfights and car chases that always ramped up the tension.

It was a plot with a thousand twists and no sight of a straight conclusion. Maybe that works for some and less so for others. It did however leave Season 1 poised on a cliffhanger with another season surely needed to wrap this story up. Overall, a deeply enjoyable show.
