Bad and Crazy? Well the characters aren't the simply ones depicting the adjectives, still the entire testify is then bad and so crazy that you lot can't help but jump off your bed. "Bad and Crazy" is i of the well-nigh entertaining Kdramas you'll ever see and I wanna guarantee on that. It has it'due south own flaws and nosotros'll discuss that but overally this is an amusing watch.

Initially intended to exist aired on OCN, the production later changed the broadcasting to tvN. "Bad and Crazy" is the 3rd collab of Studio Dragon with iQIYI. Principal photography took identify at identify at Ochang-eup of North Chungcheong Province. The drama is a reunion project for the makers of the OCN hit THE UNCANNY COUNTER, Yoon Seon Dong PDnim and Kim Sae Bom Jakkanim.

Soo Yul (Lee Dong Wook) is a practiced detective in the anti-corruption unit at Munyang Police force Station who has high ambitions. He sucks upwardly to his seniors by helping the rich and powerful in solving cases in their favor, thereby getting promotions and earning more. He'south aware of his wrongdoings but tin can't help himself until the righteous yet crazy 'M' (Wi Ha Jun) appears in his life in order to set everything at their places.

Apart from the two awesomely crazy duo, we accept Lee Hee Kyum (Han Ji Eun) equally Su Yul's ex and a cop in the Narcotics unit of measurement, Oh Gyung Tae (Cha Hak Yeon aka N of VIXX) every bit a rookie in Su Yul's squad known for his honesty, Yang Jae Dominicus (Cha Shi Won) as Su Yul's inferior and virtually trusted homo and Kwak Bong Pil (Sung Ji Ru) every bit the chief of Munyang metropolitan anti-corruption unit.

At that place are plenty of antagonists but notably Kim He Eo Ra playing Boss Yong was the best. Why "notably"? Bcs having played guest roles, that too just in ii dramas: "Across Evil" and "Hospital Playlist two" before this, she has intrigued the audience by her skills in this drama. It's definitely laudable and hopefully it lands more offers on her way.

Another familiar and good actors in the drama playing major roles are Lee Hwa Ryong, Won Hyun Joon, Kang Ae Shim, Kim Dae Gon, etc.

Yoo Seon Dong PDnim is non a star manager but he's a diversified experience in working differently for his creations; director, screenwriter and managing director-screenwriter. The screenplay management and screen-editing is top notch. The drama somehow ends up giving 'The Uncanny Counter' vibes which was obviously bcs the director is the same and both the dramas are of dark theme. To add, the theme song is the same and well-nigh of the bg score equanimous are of similar tempo (I felt like dancing throughout). The rapid camera movements and the close-ups portraying action scenes and variable emotions respectively, were very apt. Cinematography of nighttime motif was suitable for a urban thriller genre. The black and reddish colour palettes plus the stake hue throughout the drama were attractive and pleasing.

Kim Sae Bom jakkanim has done a expert job in bringing out the complexity of human being mind through the 2 primary characters. They know what suits the gustation of the audience in such genres. The plot evolution of this 12 episodes drama has in fact 2 parts, dividing vi to each. While the first i is a crazy and mind-blowing chase after the villains the 2d ane turns into a psychological warfare against the past and the time. The journey of Su Yul from a bad boy to an anti-hero and so finally to an insane person is something you should await forward to.

The prove is entertaining as soon as it strats; the adrenaline-rush makes you become crazy. There are the action scenes, the bike stunts, the chasing, the investigation, the strategies, etc. everything was so interesting and intriguing, it's difficult to take your optics off or stop watching. You crave for more. Ep 1-3 were amazing just the 4th felt a bit off, equally if they have lost the management just thankfully, they regained their pace. The surprising element was the introduction of another plotline in the 7th episode and that'south when the entire mood of the drama shifts into an intense game of cognition and memories.

Although both of the plotlines had been associated and intertwined with each other for a long fourth dimension, the involvement of the principal characters does confuse the audience a lot but that's merely for 1 or 2 episodes. Soon later you get habituated to the mood, it's fourth dimension to connect to unlike plots and fix them directly. Yeah, it'south preety much something that doesn't crave brain and that's bcs the the elements are pretty predictable for gorging thriller fans. Oh yes! This is total of comic elements.

The progression till 10th episode continues to be amazing, until 11th; as soon equally information technology strats, a lot of things first going wrong, in the show? No, I'm talking about the technical aspects here though that lasted for the first half of that episode and they made up for it in the later half, but anyways it created an impression hence reflecting in the ratings. Few casuistic deets and events had honestly ruined the drama for me but thankfully information technology couldn't touch the ending; it was very amazing, properly executed and had expected outcomes. So overally the plot development is not that steady and had few flaws here and there though it is manageable.

Amidst the few complaints I've to make confronting this was the unfair distribution of screen-timing. It's obvious that the ones to take the spotlight will be the 2 major characters merely what a writer must make sure is to give a fair share of time to the supporting characters. The one's who fell short were Ha Gyeom, Gyung Tae and Jae Seon. These three were primal players of investigative process but it was bothering how they got ignored for well-nigh of the portions; sometimes for 15-20 mins or say five-vi sequence of scenes. Could accept been meliorate.

The side by side complaint should be most the existent culprit; not just information technology was anticipated, also the revelation was underwhelming. The antagonist dynamics was just odd; won't blame my level of expectations here bcs it was actually not that impressive. The onw casted for the role did act well but information technology'south but the arcs weren't properly done and finding him was that easy.

The best thing nearly the drama is the Bromance between Lee Dong Wook and Wi Ha Joon. From enemies to partners and from partners to becoming friends, the chemical science development between them is worth investing your time and energy into. Them interacting with each other and helping each other during fighting scenes, is hugely is fascinating and enthralling at the aforementioned time. They embark on a whirlwind of romance despite the difference in personalities; they notice each other annoying but still care about each other. They are at each other's throats constantly (quite literally), only when it comes to helping each other, they won't hesitate; epically bromantic.

You are soon made enlightened of the "Fight Social club 1999" reference of the drama and it actually helps a lot in understanding the drama. Modify ego portrayal is not new for Kdramas but incorporating in thrillers like this has come out with an engrossing taste. Won't say a lot about this to avoid any spoiler.

I have a good news! We got ane more! Aye, bromance line! Jae seon-Gyung Tae are not as crazy as the main partners just they sure are cuter and sooo ambrosial. The tease political party was so funny and them making fools outta each other and even caring at times of siciness and giving presents, I volition finish here and leave it for you to picket.

There is lilliputian to no romance. Let me put in another words: at that place is an already existing romance storyline which seemed to accept ended before the beginning of the drama but that somehow ended upwards mending upwards, thanks to a crazy character. That'southward all, don't expect much bcs the drama was meant to be for intense bromance and could have been a lot meliorate without the petty to nonexistent romance.

Kim Woo Geun, known for his limerick in thriller movies and dramas has produced music for this drama. It has 4 OSTs in total, 3 of which are rock songs, one beingness romantic.

# "Bulldozer" by Don Mills is an canticle of conceit with EDM vibes. It feels powerful every time you heed to and was able to fit aptly during the fightings.

# "BUMP!" by G2 and Jang Hak is my most favourite. This is completely a rap piece, total of centre-wrenching raplines. The intense and energizing lyrics gives you goosebumps.

# "Out of My Style" is a song of alarm with hardcore instrumentals and equally enraging.

# "Present" by Song Yerin is a modern Jazz beat music with soft instrumentals and romantic track expressing an ode to the lover's beauty.

"Bad and Crazy" in overall is a expert drama, if not excellent. It is, at a time, an action, psychological thriller, investigative thriller and bromance drama.The production, the cast & its acting, the bromance, the activeness and everything else has made out to be an entertaining likewise as very interesting watch. It is only something with a fantastic premise which had meliorate scopes for improvement, which wasn't well utillized. It has information technology's flaws with plot elements and grapheme arcs simply considering the stupendous performance and fabulous execution, it should be rated as 'must watch'. Go ahead!
