Bae Suzy Action Drama

In an entertainment market where limited series are the norm, it’s not unusual for two Korean drama stars to have an encore by appearing in a subsequent series. That’s exactly what will happen this September when actor-singers Lee Seung Gi and Bae Suzy reunite in the spy drama Vagabond .

Outside of Korea the drama will be shown exclusively on Netflix, which continues to expand its offering of Korean TV dramas—aka k-dramas—in the U.S.

Lee Seung Gi and Bae Suzy previously starred together in the 2013 fantasy series Gu Family Book . He played a half human, half supernatural creature known in Korean mythology as a gumiho. She played a martial arts instructor and female warrior. The supernatural love story received better than average ratings, but as Korean dramas are usually limited to 16-hour episodes or 32 half-hour episodes, there was no second season. This particular drama had 24 hour-long episodes but the romantic chemistry between the two actors was too successful not to revive in a new drama.

Recently Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na reunited in Touch Your Heart , after appearing together in the hit drama Goblin . Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung Eum played brother and sister in Kill Me Heal Me but the screen siblings had so much chemistry they then co-starred as a couple in She Was Pretty . Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa never connected in You’re Beautifu l but got to be a couple in Heartstrings . The award for most reunions might go to Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra, who were matched in The Successful Story of a Bright Girl , played a married couple in Fated To Love You and then co-starred in a special production titled Old Goodbye . Jang Nara's second lead in Fated To Love You , Choi Jin Hyuk, co-starred with her recently in The Empress .

Shin Sung Rok, last seen in The Empress , will join them as a National Intelligence Agency official.

People who have been avid K-drama watchers know how well Korean mythology and folk tales mix with modern-day stories.

Easily one of the best suspense dramas of 2021, Mouse packs a tonne of unexpected twists and turns that will keep you at the edge of your seats. The show follows a rookie cop who teams up with a detective to catch a psychopathic serial killer.Two of the Korean entertainment industry’s biggest names—Bae Suzy (of girl group Miss A, better known mononymously as “Suzy”) and Lee Seung-gi (of Brilliant Legacy, The King 2 Hearts, and more)—are back in the spotlight with a new conspiracy drama. With episodes hitting Netflix worldwide every Friday and Saturday for eight weeks starting Sep 20, 2019, Vagabond is the latest big budget K-drama with international ambitions. The series certainly feels like a blockbuster, in ways both positive and negative. Vagabond offers good entertainment value while showcasing South Korea’s status as a middle power, but doesn’t necessarily push the envelope beyond standard K-drama tropes.

In its first episode, Vagabond spins the web of an elaborate, global conspiracy that ensnares its two leads and beyond. Lee Seung-gi plays Cha Dal-gun, a down-on-his-luck stuntman who single-handedly raises his nephew Cha Hoon. Dal-gun’s world turns upside down when Hoon dies in a plane crash on the way to a taekwondo demonstration sponsored by South Korea’s embassy in Morocco. Devastated, Cha Dal-gun travels to Morocco along with other bereaved families, and inadvertently discovers evidence that the crash may not have been an accident.

Meanwhile, Suzy plays Go Hae-ri. On the surface, Go is a ditzy intern at the embassy, assigned to shepherd Cha and other relatives of the plane crash victims. However, we—and Cha—quickly learn that Go is actually a covert operative for South Korea’s National Intelligence Service. Cha enlists Go to help uncover the truth behind the plane crash, and we start seeing hints that Go has even more secrets beneath the surface.

While we haven’t seen a K-drama that opens with a massive plane crash before, conspiracy K-dramas are a tried and true sub-genre, with past hits like City Hunter as examples. Vagabond offers a solidly entertaining take on the sub-genre. At least judging from the first two episodes, it has an intricately crafted plot and decent production quality.

The show cultivates multiple subplots in a manner that doesn’t feel overwhelming, and leaves audiences hungering for answers to a bevy of intriguing questions. Fair warning for viewers who want more suspense though: Vagabond reveals the conspiracy’s broad outlines and rationales pretty early on, making the show more focused on discovering how deep that conspiracy really goes. The show still has plenty of mystery—just of a different kind.

Vagabond also initially spends significant effort on Cha Dal-gun’s character development. Cha gets the most screen time in the first two episodes; this lends itself to a lot of great action scenes given his stuntman skills. Regrettably, this also means Go Hae-ri has slightly less screen time than we’d expect—though presumably we’ll see a lot more of her in later episodes.

Much like other recent big-budget, internationally-minded K-dramas (ex. Memories of the Alhambra or Descendants of the Sun), Vagabond also takes many opportunities to film in beautiful Mediterranean locations (i.e. Portugal and Morocco). This results in some amusingly similar aesthetics with different K-dramas—apparently K-drama characters really love driving jeeps (especially red ones) alongside sunny coastlines regardless of whether they’re in Descendants of the Sun or Vagabond.

This isn’t the only place where Vagabond draws from existing precedent. While fortunately its first two episodes don’t show much flirtation, Vagabond already forms the outlines of a classic love triangle between its two leads and another male character. After all, this is still a drama that needs to attract viewers, and the producers are probably keen on not letting the Suzy and Lee Seung-gi pairing go to waste.
