The story is lengthy and complicated - I think this worked against it because there were far too many characters with small parts to keep track of.
Kang-Woo is an insurance investigator until his wife and child are killed in a plane crash. He then leaves the company and starts one of his own - Mad Dog.
He is joined in this friends, Cheetah, an ex con, Noo-ri, a genius hacker type young man and Ha-ri, a young woman who has been in love with him for a while it seems. Later they are joined by Min-joon - a somewhat arrogant young man seeking to prove that his pilot brother did not commit suicide thus bringing down the plane deliberately and killing many on board.
This part is played by Do-Hwan, and the major reason I kept watching such a convoluted story. Of course there is a major villain played by the excellent. Choi Won - Young. I have to say I prefer him as a goodie, but no goodie would wear a tie in the half in half out of the collar style as he did here - one wonders at what goes on in the heads of designers - and what doesn't go on in the heads of those that wear their efforts. But then South Korean fashions - particularly for women and bizarre beyond belief.
The series is too long at sixteen episodes and the interest is not really maintained when our five intrepid heroes are off screen.
Particularly Do Hwan - or did I mention that !!
Worth a watch - but it does sag in the middle.

This feels exactly like 2017 kdrama, and if you are fan of kdrama you understand what I mean. Current dramas have increased HUGELY their quality since 2018/2019 and they keep getting better and better.
Its good enough and entertaining but you can see the twists and plots a bit earlier than they actually happen. Low budget script with many holes but good enough for you to overlook them.
Woo Do-Hwan is an amazing actor ( he is also extremely hot in this) and I adored him on Tempted, The King and My Country and I thought his performances there were too notch ( specially The kings double character which he nailed) but maybe this drama because its an earlier one i can seem to see owning his character, maybe im overthinking it but i see many expression that doesn't seem natural.
Rest of the cast is good and experienced, the only ones I have seen little about are the two younger secondary leads from their team.
I think this is okay for an afternoon where you don't know what to watch and this will do the job but there's too many good thrilling crime dramas better than this one.

I grew quite fond of Korean crime genre. They tend to provide excellent stories with complicated intertwining plot. What I love about this genre is the never ending give and take and creative schemes from both the fighting parties. Mad Dog is all that and more with shocking reveals and hints of romance between Woo Do-Hwan and Ryu Hwa-young, who really was the undeniable beauty of this series. The ending was really good and a great way to end the series on a satisfying and fulfilling note. It was really cool to watch. A must watch!!!
I'm not sorry to say I watched simply because the lead actors were easy on the eyes, particularly Yoo Ji-Tae who, for me, is the perfect tall, langy and handsome leading man. Those lips!! Anyway, the plot itself is pretty generic and wasn't as captivating as I'd expected; nevertheless, it was good enough to while away a few hours.
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.
