Disney+ today revealed the official trailer for the upcoming dark Korean drama series, Vigilante. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name by Kim Kyusam and CRG, the eight-part miniseries will debut with a two-episode premiere on November 8th on Disney+, and Hulu in the US.
Vigilante sees former victim Kim Jiyong grow up driven by a thirst for revenge. Tired of seeing the legal system fail and repeat offenders be set free, Jiyong spends his formative years becoming a star student at the police academy. A martial arts master and bookish academic, he uses his inside knowledge to pursue non-repentant repeat offenders and deliver his own violent form of justice. But when the media catches on to his attacks, Jiyong will be forced into a cat and mouse game to continue pursuing criminals while avoiding being caught himself.
The series stars Nam Joohyuk (Start-Up, Twenty Five Twenty-One) as the vengeful vigilante Kim Jiyong, Yoo Jitae (Oldboy, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area) as Jo Heon, a ruthless detective committed to stopping the vigilante at any cost, Lee Junhyuk (Stranger, Designated Survivor: 60 Days) as Cho Kangok, and Kim Sojin (The Spy Gone North, The King) as Choi Miryeo, a broadcaster who exposes the Vigilante’s actions. Vigilante is directed by Choi Jeongyeol (Start-Up, Glory Day).
Vigilante will join a host of award-winning Korean content now available on Disney+ (Hotstar), including Moving and The Worst of Evil.
