Bad Guys: Vile City

I utterly and totally adored this series and it is up there with some of my all-time absolute favourite Korean dramas / thrillers. I loved every single minute of it and am sad that I am not seeing more of some of the outstanding actors in more recent Korean productions. IMHO, I cannot fault this series high enough, the actors, plot, fighting etc all dove-tailed perfectly for me. I have watched the series a few times and I have no doubt that I will rewatch it again in the future! As of my first viewing and having just watched it again this week, all I can say is: What a rollercoaster! Wow! Still blew me away! Thank goodness for quality Korean dramas! Awesome!

Well, to be honest I prefer the first Bad guys to Bad Guys 2 this annoys and heroics for so long that I pissed off myself. In terms of plot, acting, the characters are sickening except for Gang Joo's acting so cool that I have spent watching all the episodes because there is JiSoo, the only handsome and my favorite young man. sometimes each of these episodes annoys me to the point of whining. and I'm tired of seeing Je Moon. he doesn't fit into a character in Bad Guys 2.

After watching the first episode it seemed like it would be a promising series. The acting is good and the plot interesting, but.. And there's a big but here. They're censoring parts of a scene for some unknow reason by blurring a couple of people out. This ruins the whole immersion and makes the series unwatchable.

If you don't want something in your series, just don't show it instead of censoring it.

A depiction of greed in a lawless city, and it's not Seoul. Towering office buildings to make law and to govern at the front; plague, slum and violence at the back door.

Mayor office, police system, prosecutors, gangsters, thugs are the same, they desperately threaten, betray and kill to be on top to get a piece of power with money politics or ready to die.

Can't get enough of the full action and surprising turn of power in every episode. Every character is insecure.

I can relate to my late father's job as prosecutor in several different provinces in a country in SEA. Scary and insecure.

...I don't need protagonists to be great or even good. But it's terribly annoying when they come across as dumb and dumber still.

On top of that it's all very Boy's Own. The female characters are either villains or victims.

Despite the acting talent, one of the weaker Korean dramas I've seen.
