Disney+ Announces Exclusive Streaming of Dark K-Drama “Vigilante”

When a victim of a brutal crime sees his attacker get off lightly, he will dedicate his life to making criminals pay in Vigilante.

A serial abuser gets given a light sentence after beating and killing a woman in front of her young child, the child will spend years obsessing over revenge and delivering justice in Vigilante, a thrilling new dark Korean drama coming exclusively to Disney+ later this year.

Tired of seeing the legal system fail, and repeat offenders being set free, Kim Ji-yong decides to step up and do something about it. A star student at the police academy, Ji-yong is a burgeoning martial arts master, a bookish academic, and has spent over a decade haunted by the image of his mother being beaten and murdered in front of him by a stranger with a bad temper.

When his mother’s attacker is set free, he pursues the man, and catches him in the middle of another attack. Exacting his revenge on the non-repentant offender, Jiyong is set along a path that will see him target other repeat offenders, and unwittingly draw media and police attention. Unwilling to give up on his mission, Jiyong must use the knowledge gained at the police academy to exact his revenge and avoid being caught.

Vigilante stars Nam Joo Hyuk (Start-Up, Twenty Five Twenty One) as the vengeful vigilante Kim Ji-yong; Yoo Ji Tae (Oldboy, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area) as Jo Heon, a ruthless detective committed to stopping the Vigilante at any cost; Lee Joon Hyuk (Stranger, Designated Survivor: 60 Days) as Cho Kang-ok; and Kim So Jin (Through The Darkness, The Spy Gone North, The King) as Choi Miryeo, a broadcaster who exposes the Vigilante’s actions.

Look forward to Vigilante on Disney+ later this year!
