I hope my boy Lee Seung Gi had barrels of fun filming SBS drama Vagabond last year. Because that would have made it worth it that I sat through what amounts to 16 hours of narrative garbage with passable action scenes. I would exile this drama to the trash bin except Seung Gi and goodness he was all hot and angry here so that’s a visual I don’t want to throw away. But even wanting more of him isn’t enough to advocate for a second season which the producers have now admitted was planned all along. The drama was planned to have that exact shit ending to leave it opened ended for more baddies teased in the final episode for a second season. You know, that only works if the original drama was actually good and people was hooked enough to watch more. Thankfully the producers have not signed on anyone and claims it’s still in discussion, so I beseech the entire cast to run as fast as they can away from the production and never look back. Too bad the final scene wasn’t the entire cast on a plane that crashes mirroring the first episode.
Both actors is weak in this drama. They cant nailed their role. LSG just good in action scene, beside that he is so meh. Suzy still average like always. The only great about this drama just the PD, and the writer eventho there’s many plot holes, we still get plot twist.
The season 1 cost a lot of money and the script wasted it. If I was producer I won’t take this risk…
So there is a high chance the drama is not profitable enough to produce Season 2…. CDrama has tons of such examples.
So where’s everybody who was insisting this drama is a “hit” now?
I’m glad I clocked out early on this one.
@Royal We – Yep it was a hit on my brain cells so much so I got KO’d. I was down with the 15 episodes all was fine until the last episode…best left unsaid but that producer should be exiled. ?
I still love the show. I think it is gripping. I am looking forward to a second season.
Are they delusional? They burned so much money only to peak at 13% and average 9.4%. Decent numbers, but it doesn’t seem that worth it compared to the budget.
Koreans would willingly watch a 50+ episodes family weekend drama. If they love a certain drama they would even ask for season 2. Or if the drama netted high ratings producers would be more than happy to make another season. But making another season is problematic because sometimes the leads are not available or do not want to do another season.
So if the producers had planned a second season then they should have not used that particular scene as the opening scene for the drama.By showing that scene the viewers are expecting to see how that scene came about. So I feel that the producers saying that a second season was in the planning stage but never confirmed is all bs to me.
The PD already give a clue about season 2 even before the drama aired. But looks like it will be difficult because their rating not that good.
Btw JJH confirmed for kingdom! Omg cant wait!
I recently started watching K-dramas for the first time and Vagabond is really good. I hope it’s not over.
I agree with you that it is good.
