Both dramas have misteries around plane crash and are alike. Action and suspense theme in both with a little romance too.

In both the dramas, there is a loss of loved one before they start investigating. Also when read about Mad Dog, it gave me Vagabond vibes.

I would recommend a watch for Vagabond despite its open ending. It is fast-paced and the storyline is good to start with especially for the first 10 to 12 episodes. There is a bit of twist and turn in the last few episodes that seems to just lengthen the show but I feel that the bulk of the story has already made its impression on me that I can easily continue all the way to the end. The political power play can be a bore to some but it is the background required for the reason the truth on the plane crash is hidden and for it to eventually unfold.

The bottom line is watch it for the action and plot but be forewarned about the ending. Then, you won’t feel that you have wasted 16 hours of your time for nothing! ?

Similarities :
- both leads have lost their loved ones in an airplane crash
- both revolve around finding out the turth and eliminating the bad guys
- both leads have to go up against higher powers
- both include a lot of action, crimes and investigations

I'm only on episode 5 of Vagabond, but the whole mystery/conspiracy thing + the tone of the drama is giving me major K2 vibes

Both share the same general plot of a normal person getting involved with and having to fight against many dangerous people.

There is action and violence in both these kdramas and an evil figurehead which people try to work out throughout the show.

From the first moment that I started to watch Vincenzo, I thought they had a very similar concept. With the corruption, taking revenge of the dead of a person you love, a big plot twist of who's the villian and a very frustrating love story . However, I think Vincenzo has more comedy otherwise Vagabond, but I am 100% sure that if you enjoyed Vincenzo, you will like Vagabond :)

both have different plot but both are same in huge conspiracy like bluehouse-bomb-blast/plane-crash which involve higher authorities. which Shock the main characters as they investigate, reveals the truth they had not even expected/imagine . both story goes around blue house , country president, national investigation service and both have Female Lead NIS agent

vagabond is more action packed drama than designated

-blend of romance in a political/action setting
-spies, military and intelligence, international government driven politics in both
-SD is historical, set in the 1980s whereas Vagabond is modern day
-vagabond is much more action packed and fast paced, SD has a simpler story with more melo themes
-vagabond is more detailed with the plot and story, sd has more feels and emotions!

Both are action dramas and involve plot of conspiracy in big companies and government. Both main characters try to make their revenge. Also both meet pretty girls on their way to do so.
