Bad Guys

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 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.

The action scenes were awesome, the characters grow every episode and the plot just gets more and more interesting. I was genuinely surprised that it has only 11 eps, quite few compared to the average kdramas but it didn't feel rushed. if you're searching for an action drama mixed with a hint of thrill & sadness, this is definitely it! There are a few characters that didn't grab my attention but the main ones really caught mine. Definitely one of my favs & worth watching!

Bad Guys was so incredibly enjoyable, from it's stellar cast, fantastic acting, amazing fight sequences, interesting characters, and a well written thriller/mystery story that keeps you hooked to the end. All the story lines came together to form a brilliant conclusion that leaves you satisfied as a viewer. While all the actors are really good and bring their a-game to the table, I just have to say that Hae-Jin Park really shines in this as the psychopathic Jung-Moon. I saw Hae-Jin in "Man to Man" first, and I noticed he had this ability to really shutter his eyes and hide all his emotions. That ability is WAY creepier in this show, and honestly it was so brilliant how he would often say nothing at all but his eyes conveyed so much while also being totally cold-blooded and emotionless. It honestly left me breathless many times while watching this, this role felt like it was written for Hae-Jin. There were a few a times that characters would be injured in a way that wasn't necessarily survivable, but other than that, this show was absolutely brilliantly executed. An 8.5 rounded up to a 9.
