Vigilante Season 1 Episode 8 aired November 29, 2023 on Disney+ as the series finale. The series holds 7.7 on IMDb and 8.5 on MyDramaList from over 28,000 users; Season 2 was confirmed in production in July 2024 with the principal cast set to return. The finale delivers the central confrontation between Ji-yong and investigator Jo Heon that the season's structure built toward, and it refuses the clean moral verdict that genre convention would supply. The 7.2 bollymeter reflects a finale that executed its narrative task while leaving the ethical questions about vigilante justice open enough to fuel renewed demand from an audience that responded strongly enough to secure a continuation. The ambiguity is the episode's correct creative choice and the series' most honest statement about the premise.
