Vagabond

This is the first time i am watching a series without realizing i was the end of every episode. the cinema thography, direction, and actors acting was superb and fantastic. i didnt believe it was korean drama for the first time, but it was.

The show was good.... Then it ended on a cliffhanger! No talks about a 2nd season either & it's been almost 2 years since the show ended. With such an extended amount of time since the ending, I doubt a 2nd season will happen.

I saw the opening credits of the first episode and I jumped from my seat from the excitement after seeing the cast!! The series has amazingly good actors. I usually try to not watch a good serie as soon as it's released, because I don't have the patience to only watch 1-2 episodes per week, but this one popped in my Netflix preview and I clicked on it. Now I'm counting the time until when I can see the next episode. It's a great serie that keeps you glued to the screen. Great action, great play and plot. Really looking forward to see how it continues.

I really wanted to like this series a lot more. It has an interesting premise, a relatable and sympathetic main character, and a relatively good production value.

The good: Generally good acting - at least by the Korean actors. For some reason the non-Korean actors seem to have very little acting ability. A good supporting cast, particularly the feisty NIS agent. Occasionally witty and funny dialogues. Believable actions and reactions of people.

The bad: Shaky camera work. Please stop with this - unless you really know what you're doing, just don't use it. In this case, the shakiness is sloppy and detracts from the action rather than adds to it. I actually ended up having a headache when watching those scenes.

Noteworthy: One of the central characters speaks pretty good Arabic and Spanish, which is keeping in line with their role. Kudos to the series producers for doing this. It might seem like a small detail, but it is a really important one that makes this series believable.

Rating: A solid 7 for now with the hope that the series will improve. I enjoy underdog stories, so naturally I'm rooting for this series to get better.

I think I wasted 16 hours watching what will happen next..but the ending is zero with no justice served to the real culprits, no abrupt end, till episode 15 everything will be okay..but just in one episode they wrapped it up all..without any end..actually ,one will never accept how the story ends.. disappointed. Anyway 9 stars are for the story ,how it goes till 15th episode, the brilliant acting of the cast and the cinematography..16th episode is simply waste of time...
