I am absolutely mesmerized by the writers' talent. Bad Guys 2 was a major upgrade from 'local police mystery' in Bad Guys 1 (not saying that it wasn't good), which took on politics and the importance of civilians of a city. Just like BG1, BG2 was rich in moral messages from the writers. These moral messages hit me hard even back in BG1, but BG2 had an even bigger impact on me, as it was a mirrored representation of modern politics happening in real life. One of the most grim things about this drama was how many good men we have to lose due to the idiocy of politicians and businessmen.

Even though the drama is over for me, I still want to cry a bit as I remind myself of the things one of the lawyers said to the protagonist prosecutor... Despite being in ugly situations 85% of the time, he held onto his faith for good civilians and never stopped believing that there are other good guys out there. The drama also happened to wrap up around his original statement, where he came to convince people not to vote for a biased referendum, and yet, nobody came to vote. He was the happiest man on earth when that happened, for he realized there are good civilians out there, who were aware that voting in the referendum would result in great losses. If you read this but you're worried that the drama was spoiled for you - don't worry, I didn't spoil anything for you at all. This is merely a minor detail to the story which serves as a message from the writers. The drama's ending that's focused on protagonists and antagonists is much more impactful.

Without rambling on and on, let me move onto the characters.
All characters and cast were fantastic, every single one of them was a bad ass. I love their tempers, however there is something the writers left behind in BG1. While I still liked the protagonists, there was a distinct lack of warmth in their backgrounds, in BG2. We were not really given much to decipher the stories behind our protagonists, other than the fact that they were hurt by BG2's antagonists before the drama started. Sometimes I even get the impression the writers did not want us to get to know the protagonists better, for obvious reasons. Watch the drama for yourself, I don't think I should go into more detail.
The antagonists were actually quite impressive too - the writers did not stick with the good ol' defeat the evil drama. There were good and bad kinds of evil in this drama, which in my opinion was very educative. Some antagonists were blatantly egoistic, but there were also some that still had morals. In fact, there were several times when I was able to sympathize with one of the antagonists because they were better than the other antagonists. It scares me, but at the same time satisfies me.

The plot was a masterpiece. It is far from being the plain old 16 episode drama showing you how the protagonists arrested the antagonist. Despite being shown who the antagonist is in episode 1, you will be surprised at how the drama proceeds with the plot. If you're tired of watching dramas with an obvious ending, this drama is perfect for you, because it does not have an obvious ending.

The ambient touch to the music was perfect for setting the mood. There was also korean hip hop or rap to balance it out, but also to show the strength and masculinity of the protagonists, which I believe was great. Seriously, it was a perfect fit for one of the most exciting things about this drama - the violence. By this, I of course mean the fights. In my personal opinion, I wish there was more fights in BG2, as it looks like there was more in BG1, but I'm not complaining. As the ending hints that there will be yet another BG drama, I really hope that the fights will get better for the upcoming BG3.
