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!

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.

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!

I was watching this during my beach holiday and really enjoyed the show, especially with the two main cast. The script is moderate, could be better but still enjoyable. Overall acting is quite good. Will look forward to the second season.

All the actors were perfectly casted. I could not pick a favorite in this one - Wi Ha Joon, Lee Dong Wook, N, Lim Ki Hong, Cha Si Won - all top notch! Choi Kwang-Je and Sung Ji Ru kept me smiling everytime they came on screen. Han Ji Eun was good, but her character itself felt almost as an after-thought. But, Kim Is Ha really stole the show in her scenes - such good acting from such a little one! Too many other good actors to name, but they were all enjoyable to watch. The script jumped around too much for me. It was fast pace and interesting, but just missing something. The show was a solid 8.5 but I gave it a 9 because1/2 stars are not an option.

From the beginning I thought it's like fight club movie. I was a little curious to see. It didn't take long for the story to unfold. You may not get the thrill of sitting down to watch, but every moment will make you think. Yes it's different from fight club movie. I loved the drama and enjoyed it the whole time.

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.

I've seen my fair share of Korean TV tropes and stories but this show still managed to provide a unique viewing experience.

Actors are perfectly cast and even though the overall corruption/abuse of power theme has been exhaustively explored in Korean TV, I still look forward to the next episodes.

Also, this might be my favorite pilot episode from any TV show ever and I hope the quality remains constant throughout the series. I also like that the Bad and Crazy has 12 episode instead of usual 16 which makes some series longer than necessary.

Bad and Crazy was not the best series despite some glowing reviews. Despite the fairly interesting crime mystery at its core, the writing, action sequences, elements in the acting and themes were very poorly executed.

The writing started to show its lack of depth at the 6th episode point. The main antagonist(s) were all revealed and the only thing keeping the series going was basically the antics of K and Ryu. There were a lot irrational character decisions seemed to only serve to elongate the run time rather than build on suspense.

There were only a couple of fight scenes that wasn't cringy. Many of the "minion" character seem to fall like straws, barely withstanding any punches. The fight choreography felt bland despite some homage to other movies (ie Transporter grease fight scene). Perhaps the fight scenes are meant to be more funny as this series is labelled "comedy". Sadly these scenes failed to be comedic or overly impressive. Would have benefitted to take a page out of Jackie Chan movies where the perfect amount of humour is thrown in.

My main gripe with this series is the poor handling of the themes of drug addiction and homelessness. The makeup, costume and portrayal all felt like an afterthought as if they were all just creating in what they perceive what drug addiction/homeless would look like rather than actually doing research.

Lastly, aside from Lee DongWook and Wi Ha-Joon (both of whom are superb in their roles), a lot of the acting of the other actors felt so forced and cringy. Unlike Crash Landing On You where the side characters stole the show, Bad and Crazy's side characters were forgettable and bit dull at times.

Overall, first half of series was fun ride but the latter half was just 1.5x speed glances at screen to see how antagonist gets punished.

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.

First of all, the cast is extraordinary!

Lee Dong-Wook as Ryu Sool-yeol is the protagonist, but accompanied by his hero sidekick, Wi Ha-joon (as K, his alter ego). The two of them create one of the most fun and unusual bromances in film!

But the rest of the cast is just as stellar, with Jung Sung Il as the villain you love to hate, and Kim Hieora as Boss Yoon, the villainess you cheer for, at least at the end.

Han Ji-eun is also great as the super cool detective/ love interest, and it's especially fun when K gets involved.

N (Cha Hak Yeon) is Oh Kyeong-tae, another great performance in the world of detectives.

A really enjoyable watch; I'm hoping for another season!

The story of 'bad and crazy' is about the detectives who fight against police corruption.. Lee Dong Wook abosulety nailed the performance from start to finish.. Wi Ha Joon, shines in an unusual and different role and does an amazing job.. this K-Drama gets better and better with each episode.. Overall, the story of Bad And Crazy is more well-developed and is way more creative.. it has a psychological perspective, some mind games, it's funny, action-packed, and there's lots of crime/mystery that will have you intrigued until the end.. do watch it...

This is an interesting series with much to recommend it. There are times when you know you are watching something of real quality. For example the plotting is satisfyingly labyrinthine and the acting every bit as good as you expect from k drama. In particular, Lee Dong-wook's ability to invest his characters in anything from absolute heroism to total craziness to utter evilness is used to the full. He is always an interesting actor.

Unfortunately there are also less positive facets to note. Because I am not Korean I did struggle with the plot, with constant references to characters by names I did not recognise, which made it very hard to follow what was going on at times. This impacted upon my enjoyment of the labyrinthine plot, whereas this is normally something I particularly value from a Korean thriller.

Also, at times the whole thing seemed completely mad. There was just so much going on, with multiple characters rushing about in different directions, let alone our hero's alter ego, continually popping up out of nowhere.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy it and would even consider watching a second series should it be made.

I absolutely loved this show. The storyline is so cleverly written and the acting feels so genuine and real. The chemistry between the cast members really brought the characters to life. Every episode had me engaged and excited for more; the last few episodes especially had me on the edge of my seat. This is definitely one of my favourite series!

A dodgy police officer suddenly takes a different path when he develops a split personality as a result of trauma from his past. The main theme running through the series is a serial killer who has links with the detective from his childhood. The detective is played by Lee Dong-Wook who always does an excellent job and the supporting cast are all well played. I was particularly impressed with the excellent performance of Kim Hieora who plays the head of a drug syndicate and holds your attention when she is on screen and I would have liked her story expanded. It is an interesting concept but I think they slightly got the balance wrong between the humour and the gruesome murders although it is worth a watch.

The first 3-4 episodes were excellent, entertaining and engaging. Then the main plot got resolved and the show could have (and probably should have) ended right there, in 4 episodes.

Instead, it drags on, with a FAR less interesting secondary plot, that feels aimless and was honestly extremely tedious to watch.

I made it half way through episode 7 and realized it had taken me roughly 8 sittings to watch episodes 5-7, constantly feeling checked out. I normally tear through kdramas, binging multiple episodes at once. But this show just didn't need to keep going after episode 4, and it REALLY REALLY drags.

There was also plenty of comedy that fell flat and ridiculously inexplicable character reactions (a main character's first time seeing a man after he murdered her partner in front of her, and hovered over her, deciding whether or not to kill her, as she helplessly looked on in terror, and she's just all nonchalant, like he's some random dude she just met... like what the heck!?)

I tried over and over, but ultimately had to abandon the show part-way through episode 7 (abandoning a show is VERY rare for me).

And from some other reviews, it sounds like it doesn't get any better after that.

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.

Today I'm reviewing a series called Bad and Crazy, as promised. I finished watching the episode 12 recently.

I can say this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Great story, great story, I have no words. Each new episode made me more surprised than the previous one. New things, new plot twists, new reveals. The relationship between Su Yeol and K was magical. Really. At the first sight, Su Yeol was annoyed by him and seemed to be a big problem. As the story goes, they are getting alone more with each other and ending finding out they might not be able to live without each other. Awesome! K was like his brother.

The plot twists were unbelievable. You see something happening in one episode, then changing to something else.

I should mention some scenes were laughable. It kept its humour in it, and I liked.

It was worth it to wait every week for new episode(s).

P. S.: Loved the intro!

I give it 10/10.
