Bad and Crazy

I couldn't resist the opportunity to use this title, haha. This series is nuts! Overall, I really enjoyed it, although I had no idea what was going on for the first few episodes. It's funny, engaging, and ultimately hopeful. I particularly liked the empathy with which the main character's mental illness was portrayed. It also doesn't hurt that K is pretty cute!

I took a couple of points off because I found the plot difficult to follow at times and some of the things that happened involving Ryu Su-yeol and K didn't really make sense, but if you suspend your disbelief a little then it's an entertaining ride.

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.

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 was watching this during my beach holiday and really enjoyed the show, especially with the two main cast. The script is moderate, could be better but still enjoyable. Overall acting is quite good. Will look forward to the second season.

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.
