South Korean star
Nam Joo-hyuk
, who has charmed fans in entertainers like 'Start-Up' and 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo', is all set to unleash his fierce side. In his newest series, the actor essays the role of an unexpected protagonist who has his own ways to deal with law and justice.
Titled '
Vigilante
', the first teaser of the series introduces the actor as a dark hero.
The series is all set to premiere on November 8.
In this electrifying adaptation of a popular webtoon, Nam Joo-hyuk embodies Kim Ji-yong, a man driven by a burning desire for justice after his mother's tragic fate is met with a disappointingly lenient sentence for her assailant.
Frustrated by the shortcomings of the legal system and the release of criminals back into society, Ji-yong transforms into a brilliant student at the police academy, blending his martial arts mastery with academic prowess. Ji-yong apparently employs his insider knowledge to track down unrepentant repeat offenders, serving his brand of visceral justice.
The stellar cast of Vigilante also includes Yoo Ji-tae of 'Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area' fame,
Lee Jun-hyuk
from 'Designated Survivor: 60 Days', and Kim So-jin from 'Emergency Declaration'.
'Vigilante' promises an edge-of-your-seat experience across its eight gripping episodes, with the first two dropping on November 8. Despite being in the midst of his mandatory military service, Nam Joo-hyuk continues to captivate audiences.
Get ready for a rollercoaster of action, justice, and Nam Joo-hyuk's undeniable charisma as 'Vigilante' hits the screens next month. It's a date with justice you won't want to miss!
