Bad And Crazy (2021)

EXTREMELY EXCITING & ENERGETIC BUT...

Honestly, overall - super fun energy filling watch!

Has a lot of action and good antagonists and really LOVE the two male leads - they do an amazing job of character portrayal and contrast! Such great chemistry, acting, and stunts!

The story starts off amazing and then mid-way sort of turns gear towards another direction... The ending DOES all tie up well together but really did not like the middle turning point...

Overall, still great humor - had so many laughs and tears here and there! Such a thriller of a lot of action and gore (not a huge fan of that but it goes well with the plot).

Totally would recommend for a fun and thrilling drama!

I rate like a kindergarten teacher.

I'd like to state although no one asked that this is my first review,100 nd something drama's since I got invested 2 year ago and lee dong wook being my go to actor considering It all started with a mistake of a button on netflix (nine tailed fox) next thing I know I'm whipped,so its only right it his drama I'm starting with

secondly I put very much consideration to the fact that reviews and comment sections are what drives most people to watch certain shows so I'll do my best,on that note


WATCH THIS SHOW
ignoring the fact that a lot of k dramas have plot holes,this included i'd like to take to heart the acting of both male leads and the support cast too, for making it a wholesome drama. you can clearly see that the writers not only tried a different approach by making a loop of different villans with captivating stories but tried to maintain a thrill and keep u invested from
the murderous politician
the dirty cops
the drug dealer
and the psychopath therapist
you had your self a hand full of people to snare at while also following a very delicate issue of mental health which considering I have an uncle that was stricken with such at a young age (An handsome pilot) who all of a sudden started talking to people we couldn't see and ended up dieing due to paranoia,( although no asked)but this hit close to home for me and seeing it made me understand the struggle a bit all the while laughing and reminiscing of similar occurances.


BUT the series takes u on a roller coster ride although I wouldn't go back to rewatch it (cause mainly I never do that to series I love, weird) but because certain plot holes had me heated up and rilled up sometimes,but still I saw it through and men what a ride it was. lee dong wook poses as cute but badass cop showing an exceptional skill in both acting and compatability, wi ha joon made such an impression that I'm on a rampage for all his drama's now his growth as an actor wow and the chemistry they both had made me want to start a petition for them to be in another show highlighting just their bromance,the young cop that made u grin,aww and swoon at each of his scenes, the best friend cop that had a "I love u but not this corrupt asshole" relationship and the badass ex lover cop who kept kicking sense into the ML's head. Each premises made u love the show

it has a lot of flaws YES but take the time to just enjoy it as simple as is and you'll leave with zero regrets

I know I said a whole bunch of unnecessary things but I reviewed from my heart chessy as it may be but if ever you come across my review let this be a sign to watch this show because its really did a commendable job entertaining which is all we need right now.

if this sucked,I'll do better next time promise😆💜💜💜

Don't laugh at me okay? I decided to watch the Korean drama Bad and Crazy because I wanted to watch Wi Ha-Joon's acting, hehehe.

After seeing his immersive acting as Choi Do-Il in the Korean drama 'Little Women', I got curious and saw his profile on the asianwiki page. It turned out that he had acted effortlessly as Ji Seo-Jun in the Korean drama Romance is a Bonus Book (2019) and had supporting roles in other dramas, one of which was the Korean drama Goodbye Mr. Black (2016)

Pretty long brewing huh?

Wi Ha-Joon showed his quality by being able to match the acting of a senior actor, Lee Dong-Wook. Not only are they different in flying hours, the ages of the two are far apart, Wi Ha-Joon (1991), while Lee Dong-Wook (1981)

Even Wi Ha-Joon's acting as K really colored the Korean drama Bad and Crazy: His face is always cheerful, temperamental, funny, brave, and of course handsome! In contrast, Ryu Soo-Yeol's character is cool, flamboyant, and tends to hold back.

The combination of the two dominates the color of the Korean drama Bad and Crazy. Because overall, this drama has a dark nuance. About child abuse. About killing by the ruler. As well as about the black world of drugs.

Compared to its predecessor which also tells about multiple personalities, I prefer the Korean drama Bad and Crazy which feels more real. Starting with Ryu Soo-Yeol's confusion when his alter ego appears, then doing a series of therapies and ending with the alter ego, K.

His predecessor dramas: Korean drama Kill Me, Heal Me and Korean drama Hyde Jekyll, Me are more like jokes with romantic spices. The psychological genre is just a patch. Whereas in the Korean drama Bad and Crazy, it's the opposite: Romance is just a patch.

So, why is the Korean drama Bad and Crazy not as successful as its predecessor? Most likely the market has been saturated. Every month there are good dramas that make kdrama lovers confused.

Finally, choosing a drama based on the likes of the actress/actor, can be the right decision.

not good not bad

this show felt like it was divided into two different stories. the first story was incredibly boring to me. but when the second story started... i loved it! it was really thrilling to watch and i enjoyed the plot a lot. the main idea of the show -the main character having a psychological disorder and having another personality (sorry, i actually dont know how to exactly explain it)- was really fun to watch. lee dong wook and wi ha joon's chemistry was really good, they made a great duo. my score is a bit low because the first six episodes didn't attract me at all and i barely remember anything about that part. however, as i mentioned the last six episodes are so exciting. the cast is also amazing. if you enjoy this genre, this drama is definitely worth watching.

Nuevo Bromance Favorito

"Bad and Crazy" es sin duda uno de mis k-dramas favoritos de este año. Empezando como un thriller policiaco cualquiera termina con thriller psicologíco bien implementado. Aunque hay ocasiones en que es predecible la historia, el conocer todo el contexto hace que esta sea diferente, entretenida y una completa locura.

Las actuaciones de todo el cast es incríble, destacando sin duda a Lee Dong Wook y Wi Ha Joon. Estos dos hombres se lucieron con esa química entre ellos, en definitiva mi nuevo bromance favorito.

Este drama es para aquellas personas que les gustan los thriller policiacos y psicologicos, es la combinación perfecta. Si no es así, la puedes disfrutar aunque en ocasiones la vas a sentir un poco lenta.

Excellent script, unique characterization, excellent actors

Excellent script, unique characterization, excellent actors, no extra scenes, attractive in its own genre in such a way that you are running to the end of the story to see what happens.
I can't tell you how good it is, lovers of action, thriller and mystery genres, hurry up because this series is for you.
Lee Dong Wook was also very good here
I fell in love with the relationship between Ki and Soyol.😍
I say again, check it in its own genre, for example, if you want romance, this series is not for you.
Indeed, if you are sad after watching a TV series and are looking for something to make you feel better, this is a very good choice

Perfect Combo of Genres

- a late review - as it has been a while since I have watched it, but I have to say this is one of my favorite shows of all time! And no matter how much I hype it up or recommend it to people I think this show deserves even more appreciation. It feels like it has been curated for me; the comical action scenes are so refreshing and engaging, the comedy is amazing, and every other aspect of the show from the psychological bits to the crime ones. Not to mention the casting for the main and lead characters is perfect. The show is truly crazy as the name suggests and messy as well which I absolutely appreciate.

One disappointing thing about the show is the reveal of K'a identity. At the time it felt very underwhelming as his identity was extremely obvious so revealing it in that manner was disappointing. I was hoping that it would come up later in the show and not early on because I enjoyed where we were at in the show, but of course as the show went on I accepted that it was necessary for where the story was headed, however, that does not change the fact that it was underwhelming and not big enough for the way it was treated, which I am still bitter about.

Note: The rankings I gave are not completely but somewhat random as I cannot remember every detail, but by the time I completed the show I gave it an 8.5/10 overall.

Dissociative identity disorder

So this drama is not bad, but I don't understand the D.I.D part, it will make no sense if K is gone. DID does not just disappear out of nowhere without treatment. the main character did not get therapy or medication from a professional by the end of the drama. and I really can't tell if he was himself or K at the end.
the only entertaining things about this K-drama are K and Boss Yong. K was really entertaining and the chaos he brought to the show was one of the 2 things that stopped me from dropping the show. Boss Yong was stunning and as a russian speaker, I was caught off guard and impressed by the fact that she and Andrei were saying some russian words.
Tbh I don't think I will watch this drama again. The plot was a little boring

a crime series with a unique twist

The story is unique but there are flaws in the logic and some plot holes. There also aren't many (unique) plot twists. Despite that, "Bad and Crazy" is an interesting and enjoyable watch. The characters all have great background stories of their own (though side characters' stories are not as much explored). The writers did a great job at making the main characters relatable.

All actors portray their characters perfectly, I really enjoyed the acting.

The music was good - it matches the "concept" of the series and I personally really enjoyed the intro on every episode.

To sum up, this is a well-acted crime series that I enjoyed and would recommend to everyone who likes comedy but still wants serious topics (e.g. drug dealing) to be talked about.

When you’re watching a drama and out of your mouth comes the words “We need a hero……!!!” you know you’re waaay too into the drama. ...

Ryu Su-Yeol is a renowned detective in the Anti-Corruption Department of his Korean police agency, known for his ability to solve cases and resolve matters to the satisfaction of the police commissioner. Due to trauma in his past, he unknowingly developed an alternate identity. This identity, named "K," has a hero complex and wants to punish the bad guy, regardless of the law. But K also acts as Su-Yeol's savior again and again, as Su-Yeol can't seem to keep himself out of trouble while chasing criminals. K also has a good instinct for identifying others who are noncorrupt, and pushes Su-Yeol to help keep those people safe. Su-Yeol faces his past, as well as the reason that K was born, when a psychopathic psychiatrist, a corrupt official, and a drug ring all tie together to create havoc in Su-Yeol's life. Su-Yeol and K work together to solve crimes and keep themselves and others alive.

While I never really understood how the drug ring tied into the psychiatrist except by chance, I can't be sure if that was because of plot holes or because of language barrier/translations. Regardless, I was a little confused by how everything tied together. Also, the level of physical violence and blood was unnecessary to the story. Although some violence was definitely required, it could have been toned down and still have told a good story. Still, it held my attention. I never had to skip through scenes.

My favorite scenes were the ones with K. He provided comedic relief and Wi Ha-Joon played this character amazingly. He and Lee Dong Wook had a very interesting chemistry (a true "Odd Couple") and played off of each other well. I don't think another actor could have effectively pulled off what Wi Ha-Joon did in this series. I would guess that Wi Ha-Joon improvised some scenes and reactions, as they seemed too good to be scripted. The rest of the actors were well cast also, and they worked hard to fulfill their roles.

While I liked this drama, I also think that it could have been shortened to a 6 or 8 part mini-series and still have been effective. Either that, or lengthened to 16 episodes to explain better some of the reasoning behind certain actions. The acting itself and the 'edge of your seat' situations will maintain a good rating from me.
