"Bad and Crazy" is a comedy drama about Su Yeol, a man who discovers he has a dual personality called K, who basically only knows how to get into trouble and ruin his life. The two have to learn to live together and work together to catch criminals.It was really funny to see Su Yeol completely naive, watching everything K did, without having any idea that he was the one doing everything, with K controlling his body. At first he hated that K was controlling him, but then he ended up asking for his help on several occasions... that's how a beautiful friendship began.
I wasn't expecting much from the drama when I started watching it, the story started off kind of rushed, but the moment K showed up, I instantly fell in love. Seeing K driving Su Yeol crazy, showing up at the worst possible times, causing trouble and being amazing was truly a delightfully hilarious experience. The scene of them riding a bike together is really funny, but this relationship isn't just about that.
The story reminded me a lot of "Kill Me, Heal Me", just like Do Hyun, Su Yeol was abused as a child and this made him create K, a personality to help him escape that nightmare, since he didn't think he could do it alone. As the drama progressed, Su Yeol realizes that K was always by his side to help him, his personal superhero, with his own uniform and he also understands that he doesn't need K to save him, that he is strong enough to deal with any problem that comes his way. That's exactly what makes the end of the drama so special. Su Yeol doesn't abandon K, he realizes that K is not something he can discard now that he doesn't need him anymore, the scene where Su Yeol goes after K and hugs him, shows him accepting himself completely.
Lee Dong Wook and Wi Ha Joon formed the best bromance I could ever imagine <3

REALLY REALLY GOOD.
i recommend this to anyone who loves action mixed with comedy. because oh my god, there are so many scenes in here that will simply make you burst out laughing. the chemistry between the actors is just wow, chefs kiss! top tier actors, plot also reminded me of fight club lowkey, it was super funny and easy to get into.characters are so easy to like, romance isnt a primary factor in here which is probaby why i liked it so much because it mostly focused on K and ryu soolyeols friendship and how they eventually get along with each other and become badass.the side plot where K falls for the girl is so hilarious though, i really enjoyed it...lol

Found family in an amusing way
Now, I'm not sure if this is a based opinion, but I absolutely love this drama. I love the big twist of the whole show. Not to mention the relationship that is formed afterwards. It's slow, but it's so satisfying to watch the two come together, work together, and even though He is who He is, they care for each other in their own odd way. #selflove.It had a great combination of romance, surprise, twists, found family, and comedy. The actors and character dynamics were all perfect and spot on. Everything fit together perfectly. I loved this drama, and I can't wait for a season 2.

Pulp Fiction Feel
I went in here to watch Wi Ha Joon (I just finished Little Women). I'm not a fan of Lee Dong Wook, so I was planning to just fast forward most and just watch scenes with WHJ in it.I find some scenes are too violent and I did fast forward those. But I had problem fast forwarding everything else. I am just floored with Lee Dong Wook and the rest of the cast's performance. The plot and turn of events are so cleverly written. You won't find any draggy moments here.
I'm sad this drama doesn't get as much viewers as what it deserves. I can understand though that it's too violent for some people. But they are filled with effortlessly funny scenes too. The action scenes are awesome and the way this drama is shoot reminds me of Pulp Fiction.
One of my favourite is actually the sessions with the psychiatrist. We can see the doctor-patient relationship growing in intensity.

Bad and Crazy feels like it was directed by Guy Ritchie!
Lots of action and no wasted screen time with useless characters staring at each other and not speaking for 2 minutes.,just killing time to fill those 16 episodes.up...Makes me feel stupid for watching them frankly!
So far no one has given another a piggy-back ride...that's a 10 right there!
There have been no senseless group crying fests.. That's another 10 for that!
....But I'm only on episode 3 so we'll see about that.
All of the characters are really well acted and easy to get invested in. Good guys, bad guys, they're all fun to watch.
But what I find the best about this show is the action. It's rare to find a show lately with this fast pace that doesn't involve zombies.
I'm obviously really enjoying the heck out of this show and it is a welcome relief !
Now that I've completed this I'm in tears that it's over. I'm really gonna miss these guys it was such a fun ride!

Things that got me excited and atecipated
"Bad and Crazy", the title of this drama, can not be more perfect, even before the show begins the title is hinting the viewers at the plot and also the events that are going to follow, eventually unveiling the main plot and as to what one should be expecting to watch. The title is not ambiguous in any way it is the most straightforward title I personally have ever come across.If you are choosing to watch this drama you should be well and ready for what is awaiting you. This drama is addictive in many ways and will keep you up all night thinking of the various possibilities that the plot may or can explore, I would suggest that its best to not watch this drama now when it is running, but once it ends premiering that way you will have at least some peace of mind.
This drama is made to be binge-watched, I am telling you if you don't binge-watch this drama it is definitely not worth it, waiting for a week to watch the next part is not the greatest feeling. I am not a fan of this genre, violence is not my cup of tea but this drama is fun to watch by that I mean like many other k-dramas this drama too is not only focused on one genre but is exploring other genres too.
Now, for why I am writing this review, this may or may not be a spoiler but from my assessment, the plot will be something like so Ryu Soo Yeol (played by Lee Dong Wook) is probably suffering from Dissociative identity disorder (DID), s a mental health condition. People with DID have two or more separate identities. These personalities control their behaviour at different times. Each identity has its own personal history, traits, likes and dislikes. His headaches, loss of memory, no clear evidence of the presence of another person even though he mentions having seen someone, and getting beaten up by that same person are what are given in the first two episodes. The end of the second episode gives us a clue. K (played by Wi Ha Joon) can be one of the other identities that he may have. His sense of guilt, self-righteousness, his survivalist attitude that he needs to have to survive in the rotten environment due to his educational background and other reasons (which may get unveiled to us in future) is what makes him create a second personality. There can be more identities too, who knows may we get shocked in future. But the plot of this drama is so exciting that analysing it is too fun to do as well. (DISCLAIMER, ALL THIS IS MY OWN DEDUCTION, MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN, WILL GET TO KNOW MORE AS THE DRAMA PROGRESSES).
We can expect a lot from this drama ie., for sure what a way to end this year.

Barely watchable
Surprisingly, it wasn't crazy enough! I expected it to be more unhinged and fully commit to its premise but unfortunately it turned out to be a lukewarm investigation drama barely being watchable.Was this review helpful to you?
Insanely Good and Sane...
I know people will say how can you judge the series based on first episode. But the truth is when it hits you right, you need to review anything.First episode really hit me hard, it is a tale of bad-cop who is power hungry has hidden good hid in his heart, because of his poor background aiming to reach at top by kissing his higher-ups, however he ends up digging the very good buried in his heart to fight against the crimes of riches and real crazy people, but of-course with the help of someone that brought good him by showing the crazy side of himself.
RSY and K, I hope they are who I am think they are, and K is only the figment of his imagination and not real, otherwise it will be super boring, if he is just imagination then I am hooked, then I am really looking forward in the story, otherwise it is another Taxi Driver type story and other Devil Judge.
Our handsome Grim Reaper and Nine-Tailed Fix is same as ever, slim, long silky hair, and crazy... he hasn't changed a bit in last 5 years, since I get to know him. Wi Ha Joon on the other hand is a recent forced to be reckoned. He has been real good since his debut and step by step he is reaching where he used to be, I hope his success isn't overshadowed by the recent purge of Korean industry.
Really good first episodes, and as it is 12-episodic drama, it is definitely going to be good one.

What a way to start a drama
One word to explain the first episode - ExplosiveThey've packed so much into it, keeping the viewers intrigued for the future episodes.
The comedy is pretty enjoyable and the plot has a lot to offer. Considering it's a 12 episode drama and not 16 episodes, it's safe to assume that the story itself will have a lot substance.
My worry going into it was just how 'bad' and 'crazy' would the characters be? Plenty actually. I despise the male lead who is actually pretty 'bad' and K's character is actually crazy. Oh Gyeongtae is a good cop through and through and honestly a ray of sunlight and humanity in the midst of our other characters. Though our female cop played by Han Jieun got only about a minute of screen time, I can't wait to see how she's going to be incorporated into the story.
My only critique would be that the editing is wacky in a few scenes, but other than that the first episode is pretty damn good and I can only be hopeful for the future ones.

pra mim esse Kdrama merecia muito mais, é genuinamente muito bom, sou muito fã do wi ha joon e lee dong wook então ver essa dupla perfeita com mais ação, comédia e drama, FOI TUDO, entregaram entretenimento do início ao fim, teve bastante momentos de ação e luta e momentos que eu achei bem confuso, como é bem curtinho não deu pra mostrar tanto do passado mas mesmo assim eu achei interessante e também fiquei triste com o final mas ainda assim continua sendo bom, K tu nunca será esquecidooooooooo! 😭Was this review helpful to you?
