If only the team from Leverage drama and Mad dog team join forces... it will be amazing 🙁💘

The most annoying thing about this drama is the main baddie wears his tie in what is called the "European style" and if you like symmetry once you watched it you will understand what I mean. Anyway the drama centres around a team of people who investigate insurance fraud but there main aim is to uncover the truth about a plane crash which killed their leaders wife and child. It is an interesting story line which is well acted but I failed to bond with the characters and their frustrating relationship in the beginning which led to the deaths of people.

I finished My Country: The New Age on Netflix and wanted to watch something else with the fantastic Do-Hwan Woo in it, and this was something that looked promising. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this show, as the premise initially sounded quite boring. An insurance scam? Insurance fraud workers? How exciting could it be? As I said, I watched this purely for Do-Hwan, who was definitely the main draw as his character was irresistibly charismatic which masked a deeper, darker part of himself. The other characters definitely grew on me, and the story kept me interested enough to finish. I think its worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of Do-Hwan. His cocky attitude and the love/hate relationships he has with the members of Mad Dog are definitely the best parts!

Following the death of his wife and son in a plane crash Choi Kang-woo, former leader of Taeyang Insurance's investigators team, sets up his own team, called 'Mad Dog' that will investigate fraudsters using methods that bend the law somewhat. Two years later he crosses paths with Kim Min-joon, a former fraudster whose brother was the pilot who had according to official reports deliberately crashed the plane. Min-joon believes his brother was innocent and wants Mad Dog to help uncover the truth. Initially they don't trust him but soon they uncover evidence that something is wrong at the airline and insurance company; something certain individuals will go to great lengths to keep secret.

This was a really enjoyable series. There was a good sense of drama, plenty of twists and turns and a real sense of danger at times. There was also plenty of humour which was unforced and didn't get in the way of the story. The 'Mad Dog' team was full of fun and varied characters. The villains are suitably villainous... if airline vice president Joo Hyun-gi had a moustache I'm sure he'd have twirled it! Instead he made do with wearing his tie in a peculiar way. There is lots of scheming as our protagonists work to uncover the truth and the villains seek to hide it or shift the blame onto somebody else. The cast is solid bringing some humour to their roles without getting silly. Overall a solid series that is well worth watching.

These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

A world of insurance scams I've never seen before. it's FUN and the best. After I watched My Country: New Age played by Woo Do Hwan it was a pale and handsome young man who had charmed me. I decided to watch Mad Dog because there is Woo Do, who this time is a man who is good at hacking computers and a con artist. In terms of character, it is quite interesting and epic to make me not stop watching Min Joon. interaction with Kang Woo between hate, love in colleagues to willing to work together and willing to sacrifice to bear heavy things for Min Joon and his late family. I really like the drama Mad Dog and deserve a high rating.
