SBS's action-thriller drama "Vagabond" has got off to a good start, with its first two episodes aired on Friday and Saturday garnering over 10 percent viewership.

The big-budget series, starring singer-actors Suzy and Lee Seung-gi, also was the most watched program in the 10-11 p.m. time slot. According to Nielsen Korea, it gained ratings of 10.4 and 10.3 percent, respectively.

The drama revolves around a stuntman-turned-taxi driver Cha Dal-geon (Lee), who uncovers a major conspiracy against the state following a tragic airline crash that claims the life of his nephew, among others. Suzy assumes the role of Go Hae-ri, an agent of the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

The show is also available on Netflix.

This is the second time the pair has co-starred in a TV series. In 2013, they featured in MBC's "Gu Family Book."

Lee, 32, shot to fame as a singer with his smash-hit "Because You're My Woman" in 2004. He has also appeared in dozens of dramas including "Brilliant Legacy" (2009).

Suzy, 25, debuted as a member of K-pop girl group miss A in 2010. She began her acting career in the KBS 2TV drama "Dream High" (2011).

Budget well-spent. Really good cinematography and the story is interesting. Lee Seunggi delivering quality acting as expected.

I know it adds to the tension and all but it really takes me out of a story when characters just never ever alert authorities or anyone else to what they uncover / what they're doing.
like the video from inside the plane, no way you wouldn't send that immediately to the airline or investigators, possibly post it online. Even if you think the crash was accidental, plane crashes are always heavily investigated and all evidence is crucial. Also that person who received the bomb threat, that's taken very very seriously, even with the staged fire alarm thingy no way she wouldn't alert everyone right away. And certainly after the fact??

If you're looking for something to enjoy watching, this is a good one but in order to do so, it will require a bit of understanding and suspension of logic =)

I always root for Suzy because she seems so unproblematic and her success seems to piss a lot of people off 😂
