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 … Continue reading →
I’m not sure SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond was done in by the several preemptions so far during it’s entire run due to baseball games. But it certainly didn’t help and now SBS is scrapping this entire weekend of new episodes so the final two episodes will air next Fri-Sat starting November 22nd. It’s a pretty ignominious end for a drama … Continue reading →
At this point I don’t realistically know what is going on in Vagabond because nothing is rooted an iota in reality. But that’s what is fueling me to keep going because we are two episodes from the end and also the ridiculousness is entertaining. I’m just waiting for Suzy to turn out to be the Big Bad and Lee Seung … Continue reading →
At this point even calling Vagabond a thriller is a stretch. It’s more of a fantasy or even sci-fi tale, where reality isn’t so much hinted at the improbable as it is totally just plain impossible. Episodes 11-12 felt like a long episode of trains, planes, and automobiles, but more ship and automobile only as leads Lee Seung Gi and … Continue reading →
There is a reason that summer Hollywood movies are called popcorn flicks, it’s brainless fun and the emphasis is on FUN. tvN action drama Vagabond has been no fun so far, earlier on it had to be serious and sad because an entire plane full of passengers including a bunch of kids died because of a greedy government and corporate … Continue reading →
I…..I wish Vagabond was straight up good. Good and enjoyable rather than good and exhausting, which is good with an asterisk and we all know that’s what will follow a project when all is said and done. SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond aired up to episode 8 this weekend, halfway done now and perhaps halfway into uncovering the conspiracy that caused … Continue reading →
My growing frustration with SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond is that it could be so much better. There is a compelling conspiracy and tight action sequences, but the writing is in all CAPS with no subtlety or depth because everything still goes a mile a minute. I’m exhausted watching, without the pauses there is no time to absorb what is happening … Continue reading →
The second week of SBS Fri-Sat night drama Vagabond basically is unchanged from the first week, so I say this because those who like it will continue to do so and those who don’t probably have no reason to start now. Episode 3 ratings are 7.3%, 8.4%, 9.3% and episode 4 took in 6.8%, 8.1%, 10.2%, so this big budget … Continue reading →
There is a bit of 24 vibe going on with SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond. I know the drama is more than just 24-hours within the story but male lead Lee Seung Gi is running and rushing and chasing left and right there doesn’t seem to be a break for him to catch his breath and assess. Same goes for the … Continue reading →
It’s premiere week with some big name dramas I’ve been waiting for but due to work business and travel I’ve only been able to watch the new SBS Fri-Sat night drama Vagabond. Episode 1 aired this Friday and the network split it into three parts with commercials in between to maximize the ad revenue so the ratings were 6.3%, 8.0%, … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting look for male lead Lee Seung Gi in the latest stills for his upcoming action vengeance drama Vagabond. He looks less vagabond and more petty street thug, what with the ashy blond hair, Hawaiian shit over sweat stained tank top, military pants, and flip flops. It’s awful and absolutely on point in conveying a rebellious … Continue reading →
Someone on the Netflix Asia team deserves a raise for smartly and oddly pairing up two very similar entertainment stars from different countries for a new show. Jasper Liu from Taiwan and Lee Seung Gi from South Korea have embarked on a travelogue show called Together airing this fall on Netflix Asia with their first stop being Indonesia. It’s part … Continue reading →
If one didn’t know that upcoming tvN drama Vagabond was an action thriller then the visually loud drama posters will hammer that point home. There are guns, guns, and more guns, and also lots of angry and intense stares. Well, male lead Lee Seung Gi is delivering the intensity for sure with plenty of anger fueling his quest for truth … Continue reading →
