Bad Guys

A detective who's daughter has been murdered heads up a team of serving prisoners to try and solve crimes which the ordinary police cannot. All the prisoners have links with his past and one is a ruthless gang leader, one is a hitman and one is a psychotic serial killer, so an eclectic team. Lines are crossed in the pursuit of murderers and intense friction within the team adds to the drama. Well acted and an interesting story but the unrelenting darkness of the subject matter episode after episode makes it a hard watch for me personally.

When you say Korean drama. You usually see polite well behaved characters and sweet sounding dialogs. And Bad guys are the opposite of everything naive and polite. It is not your run off the mill story and definitely a level up when it comes to the plot and actions. Till literally the last episode they kept building the story up. This is not one of those series where after a while the story becomes obvious and the plot becomes Luke warm. They kept it growing interesting and nursed the story to a proper suspense. Action, comedy and sentiments. It was a good watch.

At last the flix gets a winner. Hard to follow all the names with subtitles but the storylune is good with solid action. Just finished episode 2 so hoping for more of the same.

A great hook from start to finish. To be honest, after 4 episodes I googled the ending to know who the ultimate villain was. Still did not spoil the series for me. Characters here are all wonderful. My favourite mad dog here was Park Ong-Chul (played by Ma Dong-Seok). He was strong, relentless and injected humour. Storyline and overall cast gave a down to earth feel. Superb artistic cinematography. Most Korean action dramas tend to overdo with the camera effects including hand-held effects. This one was done creatively and pleasing on the eyes. Definitely a worthy addition to this list. ❤

Park Hae Jin has charmed me. In fact he plays a psychopathic smart and talkative, trying to clear his reputation through telling the truth. And I like the way they relationship as friends with Ung Cheol, Tae Su, Go Tak. Then, they work together as a team with Mi Young's help. Bad Guys is really cool, lots of action, it makes emotions go up and down and I will give a high rating. because I really enjoyed watching Kdramas Bad Guys.
