Bad And Crazy (2021)

Normal story which turned out gem

This is really worth watching. Interesting plot which keeps you binge watching until end. Contains all elements comedy, romance, action.
First few episodes plot may seem like a normal storyline. But later on the story becomes unpredictable.
Acting is really good. Since they're top rated cast they did accordingly well. Regarding OST's I don't even remember listening to OST in this drama.
It contains only 12 episodes, so easy to complete. I started watching it since reels based on this seems good, but got hooked to it until last.
To put it simply
BEST PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER SERIES!!!!

Adrenaline-Packed and Ridiculously Entertaining

I usually try to be a bit more eloquent in my reviews but genuinely all I can say about Bad and Crazy is I fucking loved it.
It's super wild, so funny, and such a good time. Lee Dong Wook and Wi Ha Joon are an amazing pair and the bromance is top-tier. The villains are awesome, too. Boss Yong especially is a great character. I didn't think it was all as predictable as I've seen others say it is but it's true I don't tend to try and predict what's going to happen.
I think if you tend to be more on the skeptical side and looking for realism, you do need to get into it with an open mind and remember that we're following Ryu Soo Yeol. We're following him 95% of the time, seeing what he's seeing. If you're thinking "wait, this doesn't work," in my opinion yes it does, in Ryu Soo Yeol's head it does.
I would highly recommend Bad and Crazy, especially if you need a break from more mellow dramas or romance, and are looking for something a little more... well, crazy.

For Bromance Suckers

It's bromance for me! It reminded me of Ling Yao and Greed from Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. From enemies to sworn brothers! 100/100 for the bromance.
LDW was good, as expected, but I was seriously surprised by WHJ. I only saw him act as serious characters, but here he was pretty goofy and did a very good job. I think he stole everyone's heart here. With no doubt my fav character of this show.
My second fav character wouldbe the mother! She is sooo loving and caring, definitely one of the best moms. And the relationship between her and soo yeol was sooo touching.
The relationship between soo yell and the doctor was hilarious, I enjoyed their scenes a lot.

But aside from these points, the series was pretty average, if not below. The crime part was too predictable, they could have tried to make the villains less obvious. And the romance was sooo out of place, it would have been much better, if they were (best) friends, frenemies or remained exes.

Overall it was a fun, bromance focused and crime related series. If you are looking for a Good cop/crime story, this isn't for you. This is more meant to be as a fun series.

CRAZYYYY GOOOD!!

The realistic thing is.. our “good” cop Ryu Soo Yeol is not thaaat upright or honest. He’s also a little corrupted and accepts kickbacks, but he has morals and a good heart. He’s somewhat of a coward and does (and says) whatever it takes to survive in that situation, but he feels remorse and tries to make up for it... which makes him lovable and human.

The entire drama is very fast paced.. there are layers of villains as the story unfolds, and if you like crime-solving mysteries this is a good one. I would say it’s fairly predictable although my predicted plot for the end was not quite accurate ;) It’s hilarious and many outright LOL scenes; one kissing scene (which was a steamy one;)) and the bromance was one of a kind haha. Plenty of kung-fu style fight scenes, but also many punch-in-the-face/ beat up/ kick-in-the-ribs scenes which were too disturbing for me. A lot of swearing also;)

I haven’t seen any of Lee Dong Wook dramas- I dropped both Goblin and Tale of the Nine Tailed. So I enjoyed watching him in this one! I was happy to see Wi Ha Joon in a comic/ out of character role, other than the love rival roles he has played and that in Squid Game.

All in all it was a very good watch! Have fun with this one ;)

Good Enough

Korean Drama "Bad and Crazy" is a crime action series with strong performances and interesting characters.

The drama starts strong right from the very beginning, with an intriguing crime case and the mysterious K's first appearance. The story progresses smoothly, though the plot didn't maintain the same level of entertainment throughout all of the episodes. Rather, there were some ups and downs, and some scenes that were tiring and far stretched. However, things picked up in the final episodes, with the new main villain being rather sneaky and the twists, which were plenty, offered a lot of suspense. That is when the bromance truly shined.

And for real, the two main characters were the highlight of the drama, along with the well-crafter action scenes. The performances were indeed on point from everyone in the cast, but the main leads were especially enjoyable. The same goes for the OST of the drama which was perfect for the genre of the series and created the perfect atmosphere.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

(Might be biased but) one of the best dramas I've seen in 2021-early 2022 (or ever?)

I had put this on my watchlist ever since I heard the news that Wi Hajoon is playing in this drama, and reading the synopsis made me excited. A while after that I completely forgot about it until the posters, teasers, and trailers started to come out. I had completely forgot that K was supposed to be Suyeol's alter and didn't bother coming back to rea the synopsis, already too excited looking at the pre-show contents and speculating on my own, of course to have the theories broken down realizing he's Suyeol's alter. But, it was so much better than my theories, and anything that I could think of, so I wasn't complaining (well, maybe I did because there were a lot of confusing scenes with Suyeol and K but I just concluded that it was what's going on in Suyeol's mind and that's fine by me, and tbh I think the scenes are very cool and I guess were overall a pretty cool concept)

I really enjoyed watching the whole drama. I kept looking forward to my fridays and saturdays because of the drama. Every time the episode ends, it just left me so curious impatient for the next episode. Thinking about it and making theories about what would happen next, what's the backstory of everything, even just thinking about that made me genuinely excited and happy. Seeing Suyeol and K's bickering, their teamwork, seeing their cool fight scenes, their touching, sad backstory made me go through such a roller coaster. And I loved every single moment of it. Sometimes I would rewatch an episode, maybe watch the scenes memorable to me because I couldn't wait for the next. It's that good, at least to me.

It was my fault for just reading the synopsis but not the genre. I got fooled thinking it has comedy in the genre because of how fun the trailers looked. And of course though a lot of scenes were pretty funny, I didn't expect the drama to be so... much darker, deeper, and sadder. A lot of it was just because of the main characters themselves. Wishing for K to stay with Suyeol to the ending of the drama was impossible, but I still did. After promising that he would leave on the condition that Suyeol would help Huigyeom, I got so sad. A few episodes later when K looked at Suyeol proudly after Suyeol had fought Gyesik made me cry. It was nice to see them be nice and soft, but it made me so sad because I was genuinely scared that K would leave. When he left Suyeol who was stabbed, I panicked, thinking what if it was really his last moment in the drama, completely forgetting the fact that he's the second lead in the drama. Throughout the episode whenever Suyeol thought of K, he didn't cry but I did. When K came back to save him, he didn't cry but I definitely did. And his last goodbye definitely made me cry. No matter how many times I watch that episode, that scene, I can't not cry watching that. It could be because I was biased because of Hajoon that I did, but I can't help but think that it's not because it's Hajoon, it's because of K. Throughout the drama just like Suyeol, I got really attached to K. He was mischievous, righteous, and soft hearted, and he did beat Suyeol up in the first episode (a lot) but, him turning out to be Suyeol's protector alter made sense. I had always felt that, as he always comes out whenever Suyeol needs him. Maybe that was the reason I got so attached to K. And because I got attached to him, now I'm really a big fan of Wi Hajoon. He, (of course along with every cast and staff) did so well for this drama and I really hope they know how many people appreciate this drama. If only tvn has year end award shows, i really feel like they would snatch a couple of categories awards, since thats how good it is.

Last but not least, the OST. there's only 4, and I absolutely enjoyed them all (well, track 4 didnt really stand out to me that much because it was a slow one, but it was still nice to hear, but it's not my cup of tea), and out of the 4, my favorite would have to be BUMP! Hearing the heavy screams in that song genuinely shocked me, but it was also one of the reasons it's my favorite. Well, I don't think I'm a big kdrama fan, as I usually just watch the ones with my favorite actors, and I definitely rarely look up OSTs, a lot of times because I wasn't interested enough. But that song was genuinely amazing. It's definitely one of my favorite genres that I hear a lot from my favorite western bands, so hearing it in a kdrama OST was a little shocking but it made me happy and excited. I wish to hear more OSTs with that type of heavy band sound, surely in an amazing action drama (Would be nice if my favorite actors play in another good action drama like this)

Power packed with action and craziness

Bad and Crazy is an action thriller with a lot of comedy added with suspense as well. Believe me, you will not be bored in this drama due to it's intensity in story and an outstanding techno music to match with it.

With an amazing political corruption plotline, adding with dual personality and drug abuse, Bad and Crazy doesn't leave anything that we cannot be impressed with. The bromance between Lee Dong Wook and Wi Ha Joon was a pleasure to watch, alongside the supporting characters who held this drama and made it power packed. Though some twists and tropes might initially leave viewers feeling muddled, power through them and the pieces slowly start to fall into place, compelling you to sit back, relax and enjoy the wild ride that is Bad and Crazy.


My Rating : 8.5/10

Good and Crazy

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this drama. It was a really fun watch. All the actors did such a good job, besides its inconsistencies it was truly a good and fun watch. It’ starts off like your typical police drama. But develops to a more serious note. If you don’t care for potholes and are there just for the good vibes you will love this! I am not one to usually say things like these but I wish there was a season 2.

I think it was a nice change we don’t usually get corrupt protagonists so I loved that the protagonists was a dirty cop. And ou see him slowly making better decisions as the story proceeds given him a good redemption arc. I would’ve love to see at least one more kiss scene that was lovely lol. and K omg i lovedddddddd k he was so funny and all the fighting scenes were amazing.

Protagonists was bruised the entire 12 episodes lol.

A Blast!

I so enjoyed this action packed, intriguing and very amusing caper.
It is not perfect, but, it got a 9 from me purely for how much I enjoyed every episode; I totally binge watched it.
I did work out the key aspect fairly on, but was still gripped all the way through.
Loved Soo-yeol (LDW) and how, whilst a pretty sycophantic and underhand detective in (perversely) the Anti Corruption Unit, he still had a conscience and couldn't turn a complete blind eye to certain crimes (especially once influenced by K).
K (perfectly played by Wi Ha-joon) was stunning ~ like OTT, action hero stunning ~ and that fits totally (especially as the story unfolds).
Character, Hee-kyum, is feisty, by-the-book and very capable of handling herself; but she was also often too headstrong and didn't listen, which irritated me.
Rookie Kyung-tae, was a total sweetie, stuck by his guns and refused to ignore the signs that all was not as it should be, with the investigation and conclusion of a certain serious crime. This put him in danger, but he never gave up.
Ji-ru (Soo-yeol's boss) was actually very supportive, considering SY's previously compliant attitude to do what he was ordered, changed pretty drastically.
There is a lot of violence and some very uncomfortable scenes, but there's also wit, sarcasm and "that could never happen" scenarios, which still fit nevertheless!
This isn't 'real', isn't to be taken too seriously and needs a certain amount of imagination (because it's hard to portray the subject of this drama ~ which you'll know what I mean if you watch it), but it really is terrific fun and very touching on several occasions. Loved it.

BAD + Crazy

The big twist is that this is not a supernatural drama about possession, but rather a thriller involving DID.

I have to applaud this drama for being better than Killme/Healme or Hyde, Jekyll, Me in its depiction of what kind of traumatic even triggers DID.

That's the good stuff.

K functions like a ghost... I've rarely heard of DID patients being able to see and interact with their alters... It was hard to believe... shoulda just made him a ghost...

There are investigation portions to the story but they all take too long... Some things that could be resolved in 2 eps are stretched out across 4 total sometimes. The drama reeks of weekly writing because the relevant plot that you've been following will be dropped in favor of something new...

I'm not sure if this story was planned out but its bad enough that it FEEL like the writers were making shit up as they went.

ACTION was great! I actually adore K!
