The title should rather be "Vagabomb" because this drama is bomb ! ?It's one of my favorite dramas !
The script is well written and thoughtful, except for some small things. We see that it was written in advance and not during filming, unlike most other dramas. Everything is important, even the smallest things. Huge talent of the screenwriter !
They put a lot of suspense especially at the end of episodes, and many intense action scenes. I also really liked the realistic side. And the fact that all along, we doubt almost all the characters, gives an even more intense side to the plot
There are a lot of twists and unexpected things, this drama is really surprising
I loved the characters, especially the "bad ones". My favorite character is Lily (Park Ah In). I immediately loved her, I love her personality as well as her elegance, her charisma... And she's so sexy ? Which does not spoil anything. I'm FAN !
The role of Suzy (Go Hae Ri) radically changes her from her usual roles, it's much more adult and mature ! For those who don't like her, try to watch her in this drama, it really changes her.
I also really liked Hwang Bo Ra as Kong Hwa Sook. She's very touching and she's someone we can trust
One of the drama's only "inconsistency" is that Dal Geon seems invincible. He beats everyone, climbing everywhere... Yes, he's a stuntman, but not a superman. It's a bit exaggerated on this point, he never seems to be hurt or tired
I didn't find the OST extraordinary. But the song "Open Fire" by The VANE matches the drama very well, as well as "The God of War", "N.I.S", "Morocco Run", and "What Is Chicken House", that I really liked.
SPOILER
I am a fan of the "couple" of Kim Do Su (Choi Dae Chul) and Lily ! I love them, they are so cute and adorable. I really wished they had ended up dating ! Maybe in season 2 ?
END OF THE SPOILER

Despite a scenario filled with countless stupidities, I really loved this drama. One of my favorite to watch
NEGATIVE POINTS
It's hard to believe that a script so poorly written was produced. The way things are turned make the drama not natural at all. The basic idea and events that occur throughout the drama are absolutely simple. The screenwriter seems to be a beginner. Stakes are big but basic, and all things that take place in the story seem to have arisen from a simple idea, without the screenwriter having taken time to let them mature. However, this is the most important thing to do when writing a screenplay.
Some scenes are a bit long, and some moments are too explained, giving the impression that the screenwriter took the spectators for fools. It's a beginner's mistake again
The action scenes are for the most part forced, and some almost unjustified. Obviously, the screenwriter has forced himself to make an action drama
Everything that happens in the last 10 minutes is totally ridiculous. And Choi Sung Won (Lee Jung Jin) deserved something grander, given his character
(This role is purely Lee Jung Jin !)
GOOD POINTS
What really made me love this drama is the character of Choi Yoo Jin (Song Yoon Ah). She's an incredible actress, she acts perfectly the kind, sweet and adorable woman as well as the merciless ultra devilish witch. She's the best actress I've seen so far. I totally feel all of her emotions, especially the despair and loneliness she feels. She's a strong person but very frail at the same time. I really understand her character, that's why I've always been on her side, without doubting her until the end. I never really considered her to be the "bad one". What I also really appreciated was her story with Kim Je Ha (Ji Chang Wook). We feel that she's attracted to him although we don't really know what she feels, it's really a shame. I would have liked this side to be more highlighted. I loved this "romance". One of my favorite parts
I didn't find Jo Sung Ha (Jang Se Joon) extraordinary, but I could feel during all the drama that there remained a bit of love between him and Choi Yoo Jin. So I bet they are both amazing.
I liked the romances, but it's a shame that it's too fast. But that's one of the best things for me in this drama. I really loved when Je Ha observed Anna (YoonA) through the cameras !
