Episode 1

Wow, the first episode is violent but rather satisfying🤣🤣🤣

Kim Ji Yong witnessed his mother being beaten to death by a thug.

The thug was arrested and tried.  But he was only given three and half years in prison.

Twelve years later…

Kim Ji Yong is now a young police officer recruit in training.  With his friend, they are both thought as the best in their class by their instructor.  Kim Ji Yong is really buff and very fit, excels in judo/martial art.

What no one knew was that he was another persona at weekends.  He becomes the Vigilante.

The Vigilante became rather famous for punishing those criminals who were set free from a short incarceration despite the gravity of their crime and remained remorseless.

One of the Vigilante’s victim was the man who killed his mother.  He saw the killer who had not changed his ways at all and still brutal to anyone who annoys him.  So the Vigilante gave him a taste of his own medicine.

The Vigilante continued to apply his own form of justice.  He had been using a police database to find perpetrators who did not get the punishments they truly deserve from the justice system.

Choi Mi Ryeo, a journalist started putting two and two together and came out that there is a Vigilante who attacks criminal on weekends.

Her theory was almost sabotaged because there was a weekend when the Vigilante did not attack anyone.

This was because a drink driver who killed someone was really really sorry and went to apologise to the bereaved for what he had done.

The Vigilante realised that he was remorseful.

The next victim was a rapist. Who after being let out from prison went to find his victim and blamed her him ending in prison.  He was about to kill her but the Vigilante turned up.
