Korean Drama Vigilante is an antihero thriller
Story
Ji Yong is living a double life: during the week, he is a student at the police university, and on weekends, he is a secret revenger, punishing those who are left unpunished by the law.
Korean Drama Vigilante is a dark thriller, with a more or less unoriginal plot, but an enjoyable story nevertheless.
The small cases that the vigilante takes up are intense, first of all, and give some more spice to the main plot.
The main character, moreover, was an interesting one, subtle, but with a rage following him.
The rest of the characters that either try to aid him or chase him down aided with the progress of the drama, even though some were left only to being the side characters and weren’t explored further.
Also, it would have been better if the drama had more episodes, to help with a smoother development of the plot.
