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.

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.

If you are a fan of Lee Dong Wook and think he only acts calm, collected, sexy characters, you have to watch this to see him in a totally different perspective as a smart yet corrupt team leader of a crimes unit in the police force, Sool Yeol! Loved him in this and hope to see him in more such action dramas.

Ja Hoon is amazing as the counter personality K. He is constantly egging on Sool Yeol to break him out of his comfort zone and chase after justice, not simply kow tow to his superiors at work

Interesting perspectives of corruption practices revealed in this drama as well as amazing actors and actresses, heaps of fun and laughter. Kind of reminded me of Will Smith's Bad Boys.

Bad and Crazy was a rare gem of a show that ticked all the right boxes: it blends a serious plot line seamlessly with genuine comedic moments, it's well written, has a great cast, a fun soundtrack, and it has a satisfying ending. The moments between Su Yeol and K are the heart of the show, and its obvious the actors had great chemistry together. The fight scenes are so much fun to watch, they are both well choreographed and realistic looking. The length of episodes was also perfect, nothing was dragged out and the story line was wrapped up in a way that did not feel rushed. I thought the psychological aspect was done well, and while a tad over dramatic at times, it was incredibly entertaining so I give it a pass.

I enjoyed every single episode and would absolutely re-watch this in a heartbeat!

Liked Squid Game and Strangers from Hell and though oh I could watch a drama with these two where they're enemies, that'd be cool? Well, this drama tricks you. Wi Ha Joon and Lee Dong Wook are presented as enemies in the trailer and the first few episodes but the show quickly develops the relationship into the most beautiful "brotherhood". This show made me cry at every corner and made me literally knee-slap-laugh. The action was great and energizing. If this was on Netflix it would've been #1, I'm sure. I loved the female characters, from the ex girlfriend to the villain to the grandmother, all of them were so well written and likable. I loved the entire cast. Lee Dong Wook ofc is a well trusted actor but Wi Ha Joon really shines here as well, which again is impressive when you pit him against such a great actor. So impressed with this show!
