I didn't go in expecting much in the first place. Sure, sometimes the endings have a sort of Porky Pig wrap up, but at least they're wrapped up. Also no. Upon reflection and leaving logic out of the picture I’m not even enraged at the show anymore. Mostly I loved the characters, who never acted predictably and surprised me in a lot of ways. Vagabond, unfortuantely, is a show that falls into the latter. I stopped watching this drama and reading this end confirms my choice!

The future of the country is still in doubt too, with teasing glimpses of the upcoming election, while Park’s plans and diabolical schemes ultimately go unheeded, as we leave with all of this unresolved. We update as the episodes air. I like how the writer tried at times to make things work, but then at other times, just decided to throw something up there to solve a problem and hope it stuck. I'm here to say...Ki Tae Woong you'll be missed. that why ppl living in harmony at your blog :p. i hope people enjoy vagabond drama, the first ep was fun and feel too short. Yeah the Monkey name made me smile too -- I'm sure it's a reference to a Korean Odyssey. Absolute nonsense Your spinoffs and your sun...still smiling as I type this...made me laugh so hard. I remember laughing through each post, it was so crazy funny. For some reasons, I read "...and mostly possess criminal minds." Vagabond was a thrilling action drama that capitalized on that premise. IT HAS ENDED. Let me blow away your tears *WOO WOO* Be thankful it's OVER. WAEEE THERE'S SO MANY THINGS UNEXPLAINED. But he freezes when he sees that it’s Hae-ri, and after a moment of indecision, he turns and kills his partner instead. Meanwhile Hong takes the office on an interim basis before Samael requests a meeting. Why... why are you doing this to us, Netflix? var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; I thought the show was ending so perfectly until I realized there were about 3 more hours left lol, so at that point I expected ongoing drama with cliffhanger end rather than a complete conclusion. In the ensuing chaos, Jerome arrives alone to pick up the package. Hae-Ri continues to doubt Cha as the one responsible for Kim’s death but unfortunately Hong has closed the file to this case, leaving her scrambling for answers. I also found that throughout Vagabond the subtitles were lazy, often skipping chunks of dialogue, but then giving is a 'precis' of what was said. Lily agrees, then takes great delight in informing Jessica that Samael is none other than Edward Park. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 I didn’t even hate the romantic interest they showed in each other, which wasn’t necessary to the story but was mostly light-handed and didn’t take over the plot, and seemed to know when to come forward and give us a break from the seriousness and when to fade into the background. Arthdal ended before something we all waited for happened. Prime Minister Hong and Edward discuss the oil drilling venture in Kiria, which is crucial to Prime Minister Hong’s presidential bid. He says that he plans to infiltrate Black Sun, and he asks for Lily’s help.

What a waste of my precious time. During that time I’ve watched a lot of different programs, some that fall into the realm of mediocrity and others that do well but falter at the last hurdle. She gets up to leave, and Edward asks why she’s not begging him to help her recall go through.

Anyways, I hope to see everyone in a better drama soon. LollyPip--So disappointed in the abrupt end of Vagabond. Not perfect but light years ahead of Vagabond. Maybe, it was the montage of Suzy and LSG suiting up with their weapons for this final showdown, and once again a woman is using her looks, and the man gets to use bullets. please. Cha has always been a man that values honesty and compassion and seeing this character development thrown down the drain here as he tortures Jerome feels very uncharacteristic for him. If KTW died, it would be another story. I'm hoping we get a season 2 at least before like 2023 and that we won't get a season 3. I also want a second season because so much is still unexplained, like how Edward Park became Samael, who was running Black Sun and was already feared worldwide before he ever planned the plane crash, so clearly he’s been orchestrating things like this for a long time. They’re just so lovable, I couldn’t help but like them, especially Lily who was quirky and endearing even when she was trying to kill Dal-geon. First still images of Bae Suzy in SBS drama series “Vagabond.” First still images of Lee Seung-Gi in SBS drama series “Vagabond.” Filming for “Vagabaond” was initially planned to finish at the end of 2018, but filming will now finish May, 2019. I'd let this one go somewhere around episode 7 or so, but decided to watch the last minutes to see if SSR survived, and how they wrapped it all up.

With context, this scene makes more sense and as he shoots the rival sniper, the episode and series ends. Can we start a petition? But Lee Seung-Gi had better role, I think he's better with more humor. No. I think the highlight was the Russian sniper calling LSG "Monkey." 8.6/10 from 38 users. Hae-ri says incredulously that Dal-geon was killed by Edward, then they resume their fight when the guard regains consciousness. As Jerome writhes in agony, his skin bubbling with angry pustules, Dal-geon growls, “Your fear, your pain… they’re nothing compared to what my nephew suffered in the crash.” Jerome begs Dal-geon to kill him, but instead, Dal-geon holds up the antidote and says that Jerome has two minutes to save himself. They literally could have cut out everything regarding President Jung and Secretary Yoon/Shadow, for example, and the story would have been much more streamlined. Made my day with your hilarious post. Yes I really enjoy all comments here. @egads I think Vagabond made the sarcastic criminal critical thinker. That was it.

It was a great drama, except for the last episode. In Korea we need a President who can devote hi… Huh???! i want to ask does vagabond continue or end up here but if vagabond continue i need to know because i haven't seen written if it continue or not, i like this movie i need this series to continue to end up in a good story.

Lee Seung Gi, who recently starred in the hit drama “Vagabond,” talked about his love of the action genre as well as the ending to “Vagabond” in a recent interview with Newsen. I hope this doesn’t become a trend though, one of my favourite parts about Kdramas was there was usually an end (to varying degrees of success, of course, but an end nonetheless). Well, rant about that topic over, anyway — now I’m going to rant about Vagabond itself. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; But he takes one more look at his office before he does.

So here is hoping and praying. or Meanwhile, Dal-geon has successfully infiltrated Black Sun, and is currently on a covert mission in North Africa to steal a biochemical weapon. As we jump back in time, we see what really happened that night; Lily intended to save Kim but as fate would have it, she saved Cha instead, leaving the building just as it erupts into a fiery inferno. The comments were so hilarious. I’ve quite enjoyed this action thriller over the weeks and the over-the-top action and tense situations have always flirted that line of unbelievability but it’s always had the foresight to act with integrity while doing so.

It had everything. *You can survive a plane crash if you are in the pilot seat while the plane is diving down *there's a secret side door* My issue is that they aren’t transparent about it, and they let people watch the whole show all the way to the final scene before realizing that oh, we aren’t going to get the end of the story like we’re used to with Korean dramas. Do you have anything wise and analytical to say on the last recap? I'm glad he's alive at the end and if a 2nd season is in plans, I suggest he decline unless it's a KTW-chicken ahjumma spinoff. 1. Dal-geon is also in Kiria on a mission for Black Sun (on Edward’s orders, naturally), and he and his racist-as-hell Russian partner set up for a sniper attack on the lobbyist. If this really happen! So anyway, my final thought is that Vagabond was a fun yet serious show that turned into a farcical hilarious ride that sprung into nonsense and ended in, huh? }); She tells him that all the clues they got from Oh Sang-mi about Black Sun and the tattoo were fake, and that Jessica murdered Dal-geon when he found out, so she’s here to make Jessica pay for Dal-geon’s death even if it can’t be done legally. 16 #8 : "Preparation"] Dalgun and Haeri live their life in their each place, with one purpose in mind.

Just then, Hae-ri gets a call that Woo-gi has been found and is at the morgue, his badly-burned body having been identified through DNA. if the production doesn’t have enough budget to do 2nd season, i hope there will be a few more episodes (3 or 4 episodes would be fine) to conclude this ending beautifully. Heh. The ending leaves opening for second season. Atleast it was fun at times. I would hate Netflix less if they're being upfront in the possibility of muti season drama before the drama start. *Even if you were sent the likes of Julio Santana to assassinate you he'll surely run out of bullets trying to get you and in the end later in the process Becoming your Friend...

Netflix leave Kdramas alone? ITS OVER AND I FEEL EVERYTHING AND NOTHING. The President told the Prime Minister to do something and his reply in Korean was a simple polite "yes" but our subtitler thought the drama scriptwriter needed help and translated "yes" into "You got it"...something that would sound weird in the rigid formality of the Blue House.
