Bad and Crazy

Now I'm not gonna lie I did watch this purely for Dong wook and hajun but I wasn't expecting anything less since they are both amazing actors. This show is so so so good. It's so funny and so engaging I couldn't stop watching and ended up just binging it in two days. You will not be bored watching this show I guarantee. They balance out seriousness and humour so well that at one point I was so sad and then less that .3 seconds later I was laughing. They even put just the right amount of romance in it but not to much as to take over the whole purpose of the show. It was a satisfying amount. I really enjoyed this show and would highly recommend it to others if you like comedy and crime dramas.

I've seen my fair share of Korean TV tropes and stories but this show still managed to provide a unique viewing experience.

Actors are perfectly cast and even though the overall corruption/abuse of power theme has been exhaustively explored in Korean TV, I still look forward to the next episodes.

Also, this might be my favorite pilot episode from any TV show ever and I hope the quality remains constant throughout the series. I also like that the Bad and Crazy has 12 episode instead of usual 16 which makes some series longer than necessary.

Liked Squid Game and Strangers from Hell and though oh I could watch a drama with these two where they're enemies, that'd be cool? Well, this drama tricks you. Wi Ha Joon and Lee Dong Wook are presented as enemies in the trailer and the first few episodes but the show quickly develops the relationship into the most beautiful "brotherhood". This show made me cry at every corner and made me literally knee-slap-laugh. The action was great and energizing. If this was on Netflix it would've been #1, I'm sure. I loved the female characters, from the ex girlfriend to the villain to the grandmother, all of them were so well written and likable. I loved the entire cast. Lee Dong Wook ofc is a well trusted actor but Wi Ha Joon really shines here as well, which again is impressive when you pit him against such a great actor. So impressed with this show!

Bad and Crazy is an action thriller with a lot of comedy added with suspense as well. Believe me, you will not be bored in this drama due to it's intensity in story and an outstanding techno music to match with it.

With an amazing political corruption plotline, adding with dual personality and drug abuse, Bad and Crazy doesn't leave anything that we cannot be impressed with. The bromance between Lee Dong Wook and Wi Ha Joon was a pleasure to watch, alongside the supporting characters who held this drama and made it power packed. Though some twists and tropes might initially leave viewers feeling muddled, power through them and the pieces slowly start to fall into place, compelling you to sit back, relax and enjoy the wild ride that is Bad and Crazy.

My Rating : 8.5/10.

All the actors were perfectly casted. I could not pick a favorite in this one - Wi Ha Joon, Lee Dong Wook, N, Lim Ki Hong, Cha Si Won - all top notch! Choi Kwang-Je and Sung Ji Ru kept me smiling everytime they came on screen. Han Ji Eun was good, but her character itself felt almost as an after-thought. But, Kim Is Ha really stole the show in her scenes - such good acting from such a little one! Too many other good actors to name, but they were all enjoyable to watch. The script jumped around too much for me. It was fast pace and interesting, but just missing something. The show was a solid 8.5 but I gave it a 9 because1/2 stars are not an option.
